Flights made pleasant


Flying is the best or, sometimes, the only way to travel long distances efficiently. Although people are mostly aware of the fact that planes are less dangerous than cars, the pre-flight jitters occur, especially among people who fly rarely. Those jitters make people both physically and mentally exhausted, which affects the further trip negatively. Nevertheless, any flight is just one of the means we use to reach our destination, which is as easy and conventional as attending NYC barbershops for the NY citizens.


1. Double check

Before we go to the mental and physical parts, make sure you always double check your luggage and personal stuff. Think of the essential things you may forget like your wallet, medications, insurance, or the foreign currency. A proper check will let you chill and get to the airport with no stressful concerns.


2. Preparations

You are anticipating environmental changes, which makes you feel stress. Therefore, you should follow the most conventional daily routine before the flight to let your body and brain stay in the comfort zone. No signs for changes will trigger fewer irritants. Visit the restroom before your flight to ensure no additional triggers will occur.

3. Jitter-free flight

It is great if you know the breathing techniques or have the meditation skill. Otherwise, it is essential for most of us just to stay busy during the flight. It is hard to avoid negative thoughts. Furthermore, attempting to replace them with positive ones will only lead to struggle with your own mind. Instead, try reading a book, watching a movie, or join a conversation. The key is to focus your attention on things which are not connected with your fears.

Hope these tips were helpful. Nevertheless, don’t try to avoid a flight each time you can have one.

Travel Diary: Sanjay Gandhi National Park

The Sanjay Gandhi National Park or Borivali Park whatever you wanna call it, is one of the most beautiful wildlife sanctuaries in the world. All because, it is spread across over 104 sq. km. and also because it  is the only park in the world located completely within a city limits, which is also rich in biodiversity.   To most Mumbaikars like me, the Sanjay Gandhi National Park (SGNP) brings back the old memories of our childhood when our parents would take us to the park on a Sunday for a jungle safari or just an excursion to the famed Kanheri Caves (Note: they are around 2400 years old!) and not to forget those amazing school picnics. Alas, as I've grown up to be a teen, and through these years, places such as these have only remained confined to my memories. A visit to the National Park on a Tuesday, as part of my college's Environmental Visit, was to me as much about going back and living those memories again. It was about exploring the lesser known areas of the pa...

What about traveling by yourself?

Traveling alone is a doubtful topic. Most of us have thought at least once about a trip by yourself. These fleeting thoughts are easily replaced with other ones in the dialogue with yourself because our mind faces some real and illusory obstacles. Let’s define these obstacles to see what prevents us from traveling alone. Maybe you will reconsider them and finally decide to travel with no companion. 1. Unhappy crew Socializing is vital for every human being. We want to share our most memorable experiences with our friends and family. The experiences may be both fun and stressful; furthermore, people behave differently in their comfort zone and in a new ambience. Consider the simple facts like chronic illnesses, daily routines, and tastes. As an example, my ex would look for organic color systems salons for her hair maintenance. The question is whether you go on with the distractors or not. You won’t find a hair salon in the mountains. Some medicines may be restricted in certain...
