| Surviving In Kolkata As A North Indian: 11 Awesome Tips Posted: Kolkata is a melting pot of many cultures; therefore anyone outside Kolkata will not feel alienated for long! Every region in India has its own culture and way of living and so has Kolkata! If you are a person belonging to North India and have come to stay in Kolkata, it is possible that you might face a few greater problems than any South Indian! But don't be troubled over it! Here are eleven awesome tips that will ensure your happy survival in Kolkata:
11. Cut on Travel Costs!This is actually good news, public transportation in Kolkata is almost next to nothing and you will save a lot if you travel especially on private buses – they take you a long distance at minimal prices! But try to avoid the office hours since you will find unimaginable crowds inside the buses!
10. Move over Ghazals, it's time for Rabindrasangeet!Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagore belongs to Kolkata and hence his works and specially the songs written and composed by him are an all-time favourite of the Bengalis – so much so that, you will find the traffic signals playing a Rabindrasangeet whenever there is a red light! So, time for you to get in touch with his songs – you will love it actually!
9. Being a Bookworm!Books – fiction, non-fiction, Bengali, other languages, tiny, big – all are favourites of the people of Kolkata! To be a happy survivor, bring out your books – classics or best-sellers – and start reading them, you will find yourself to be a favourite among the Bengalis!
8. Lover of the Arts!Kolkata loves its art and culture and takes pride in its achievements! If you are to survive in Kolkata then take serious interest in the arts – literature, painting, singing, dance – and bang on, you're part of the city immediately!
7. Football Frenzy!Been in Kolkata and haven't watched a football match – you must be joking! Football is worshipped in this part of the country as you worship Cricket in your state! If there is a match between football giants East Bengal and Mohun Bagan, then, there is craziness around town that you cannot miss!
6. Traffic Snarls!If you are from Delhi – this is nothing new, but the ones who are not from metropolitan states – be ready to face the terrible Kolkata traffic jam! North Kolkata or South Kolkata, there is no place which will offer you a smooth ride through the roads – get out of your home as early as possible if you have to reach a place on time, sometimes a 15 minute road takes an hour to reach!
5. Humidity woes!Geographically, Kolkata is very close to the Bay of Bengal because of which lot of moisture enters the city! Be careful during summers, because the heat here might not be as burning as in your homeland but very uncomfortable – although the average maximum temperature is 38 degrees!
4. Sweet – Always!To survive in the city by being a part of it, get into the habit of having a sweet dish (any!) at the end of a meal or anytime you wish! There are many available and all are tasty – if you have lived in Kolkata and not had sweets, then you probably have not lived in Kolkata at all!
3. Power of the Fish!Considered excellent for the eyes, fish is another staple diet of the Bengalis! There are many varieties available in the market – katapona, rui, bhetki, charapona, pomfret, koi, ilish, chingri, pabda, kajuri, chitol – name it and you get it! Survival in Kolkata is seriously impossible – so get into the habit of having a lunch of rice and fish curry!
2. Roti to Rice!The best way to stay fit and happy in Kolkata is by switching over your diet of roti and parathas to that of rice – it is the staple diet! Every household in Kolkata has this meal for lunch with other dishes and therefore is available in huge quantities in the market – the most important survival strategy!
1. Get the Language Right!The people of Kolkata will help you a great deal in trying to communicate in Hindi but you should also be aware of their way of speaking – it is very different from what you know! So, if possible, pick up a bit of Bengali!

| Finding Some Of The Best Schools In Chennai For Your Child’s Future Posted: Now that the admission season is here, almost all the Career Guidance websites and newspapers seem to be filled with colleges where to take admission in, etc. But most of these places keep mum about the schools to seek admission in after pre-schools and kinder gardens; after all, this step carries heavy weightage and decides much of the career later on. So, in this list, we'll try and find out some of the best schools in Chennai where you can admit your little ones and secure a nice academic future for them— 5. St. Bede's Anglo Indian Higher Secondary SchoolFounded in the year 1907 by the Anglo-Indian missionaries, the main purpose behind the foundation of St. Bede's was to impart quality education of the European and Anglo-Indian children. Although mainly a day school for both Chennai and outstation students, it also has a Boys' Home where only Anglo Indian Catholics can stay throughout their course. With a solid backing of 56 highly qualified teachers, the school excels in areas related to not only academics but also extracurricular activities. The school currently has around 2029 students on the rolls and is definitely one of the most respected and good schools in and around Chennai.
4. Good Shepherd Convent Matriculation School, ChennaiLocated in College Road, Good Shepherd School is a convent school established in 1925 and have been producing excellent all round performances ever since. Although set up primarily for the Anglo Indian Catholics and the Europeans, the school has happily opened its gates to students from other societies and communities too. Considered as some of best schools in Chennai, it aims at making students not only academically profound and sound but also spiritually, morally, socially and culturally sound and active too. Among the school's alumni team, we've got dignitaries like Sudha Shah, Vyjayanthimala, Divya Ajith and Sudha Raghunathan among others. The school has got around 95 faculty members teaching a sum of around 1000 students.
3. Krishnamurthy Foundation, ChennaiEstablished in the recent past, in 1973 at Adyar, within 40 years of its inception, the school has collected enough goodwill to feature in the list of top schools in Chennai. The school doesn't have any of the nursery classes and admits students only from class 1. The school's vision is to create a healthy environment of imparting education where the student would not only gain knowledge but also be in a position to question it. It is only then that the students would be able to judge their positions and excel not only as a great student but also a better human being. This school too, like the above two, excels in imparting the much needed extra-curricular activities to the students.
2. Kendriya Vidyalaya, ChennaiWe all know about Kendriya Vidyalaya or The Central School that is exclusively meant for the children of Government employees. It is a co-educational, English medium school run by the famous Kendriya Vidyalaya Samgathan, an autonomous institute under the Government of India (Ministry of Human Resource Development. The best part of the school is that it is a totally secular school which doesn't ever distinguish among the students—be it social or religious or racial. It claims to thrive on its mission to eradicate education-lag and hence, diminish all the inequalities. The school is located in the GPRA Campus in Thirumangalam and has been operative there since 1995.
1. Sri Vidhya Academy International SchoolInspired by the Gurukul style of teaching from the Vedic times, Sri Vidhya Academy International School is an instance of great assimilation of old values and modern hi-tech equipments. With enjoying the status of #1 in best schools in Chennai, it is a registered Cambridge International Center and runs under the moderation of University of Cambridge and has an IGCSE affiliation. In order to maintain a healthy student-teacher ratio it limits its intake of students to 20 per class, and also urges the students to actively learn foreign languages too. Apart from the basic English, Tamil, French and Hindi, the students can also take up various Oriental and European languages too according to their wish. The school also has a boarding facility and A.C. rooms are available on triple-sharing basis.

| 6 Superquick Ways To Remodel Your Bedroom In An Hour Posted: 06 Feb 2014 09:31 PM PST Your bedroom is your personal space that reflects your own interests and characteristics. This is the place where you will be spending nearly 35% of your life. It will reveal a lot about you to a keen observer. Though you have modeled your bedroom keeping all your needs and aesthetic taste in mind, it can get boring after sometime. This is when you decide to remodel your bedroom, but often it can be time consuming as well as expensive. If you are smart, then you can remodel your bedroom in an hour without having to spend a fortune on it. Just try out these 6 excellent ways of remodeling your bedroom. 6. Clear the clutterThough your bedroom needs just some basic furniture and appliances that can give you a good night's sleep; over the time you tend to collect the clutter in the bedroom. It soon turns into your dining room, work place and a library. Just find the unwanted things you have in your bedroom and send them back to their respective places. It will give your bedroom a more tidy and spacious look.
5. Change the colorPainting is one of the cheapest and quickest remodeling you can do to change the appearance of your room. You would be surprised to know that there is yet another cheaper way to change the color of your room. Choose a color theme that you find comfortable with. Buy bed sheets and curtains to go with the theme. Now find the lamp shades or bulbs that will blend your walls with your color theme. Voila! You have changed the appearance of your room without much hard work.
4. Make it more comfortableAt times the placement of things can be bothersome, especially if they are in your bedroom. Just imagine leaning over your better-half to reach for that blaring alarm every morning or stumbling over a stool while groping for a light switch on your way. Uncomfortable, isn't it? Place the bed, bedside table, clock and chairs where you feel comfortable with them. Though, this may not seem to be a big deal, it does make a whole lot of difference to the comfort you experience in your bedroom.
3. Give it the artistic touchHang some of your choicest paintings, family photos, wall hangings and other artistic work on the walls of your bedroom that may appear to be dull. If you love your walls plain without clutter, just pick the best of your collection to decorate your bedroom; however, make sure that it is something that puts a smile on your face and makes you feel happy to look at.
2. Go for new linensGo on a shopping spree and find yourself new sets of linen and if possible a carpet to give your bedroom a new look. Pick something in contrast to your previous bedroom accessories. Do not compromise on your comfort while picking up beautiful linens, because good sleep and sweet dreams are more important than beauty of your bedroom. Go for natural fibers like cotton, flax, or silk so that you can have their added advantage of high absorbency and porosity which ensures that you sleep comfortably.
1. Add something newAdd something new to your bedroom, because now you have created enough space by clearing the clutter. Find a beautiful vase which can hold fresh flowers to give your room the fresh feel. Add a book shelf, dresser or relaxing chair for your comfort and relaxing time. Just don't go overboard with new furnishings, because it will again lead to clutter.
