Hi viewers, Summer season is on and its the best time to plan for a long holiday trip. Thailand is the best place for Indians to chill. Which ever the country you visit, you will notice these three things in common i.e., air, water and Indians. Yes Indians are found everywhere in this earth; there are 65,000 Indians having Thai citizenship living in Thailand.  Most of the tourists visiting Thailand are from India itself. Tamil, Hindi, Punjabi and Malayalam are the Indian languages used there.

Greetings viewers! all of us will be having one or other hobbies to spend on free time. Our kind of hobbies may be influenced by our tastes and interests. Photography, arts, gardening, reading, writing, are the prominent hobbies which we opt. My hobby is to collect the shells of molluscs; Shells are the most attractive things present on the shores, and I hope all of us would have played with them during our childhood. I had a habit of buying jewels carved from shells when I was a teen slowly my fashion turned to passion and I started collecting shells as my hobby.  Shells of Molluscs:  Molluscs are a kind of invertebrates/ non-chordates (not synonyms) which can be found on land, fresh water or marine water and other habitats.

Hi viewer, welcome to What's around us. If I ask you which is the most fastest mammal on earth? then, what would be your answer? If your answer is 'Cheetah' then I would say no. Yes of course, the fastest animal in this planet is cheetah but there is yet another answer for this question. According to me the fastest mammal on earth is our ' adolescents' .  Adolescence is a transitional period of ones life, it happens to be in the age of 12-18. This can be said as the second shortest phase in your life history, where the first one is infancy. It is the most fanciest phase in our life time. I wish I could be that teenager again who used to fight with mom everyday starting from her wake up alarm clock till the endless arguments before bed. I used to argue with her for almost everything.

What a joy to see a flower with a vibrant petals wide open and ready to invite seduce someone. A flower has many importance in our livelihood, may to decorate our interiors or decorate our gardens or to please someone or to offer for their deity.  A flower has its own part in our culture and traditions, but do we know that for what actually a flower is produced?
