China has been thriving in recent years and has been named as the “World’s factory” because of its high production and low labor cost. It seems to be a trend now to import goods from China directly since there will be middleman in between and hence one can get the latest and cheapest products.

Aside from the fact that smiling makes you more attractive.Don’t wait for people to smile.Show them how. Here in Bengaluru (Bangalore), people are running around with their heads in their phones, dressing up their jeans n t shirts (whatever) and so receiving a smile from a stranger isn’t something that happens every day. Greed, anger and ignorance. Avoid all three                                              The premise is simple: take a big smile like :D to brighten someone else’s day, and get a smile in return :) Remember,your best friend was once a stranger too. Love Animals too bcz they deserve  it :) Here ( Bangalore ) I loved Radio Fever 104 with Mad Morning with Aiyoo Shradha :) She is so an amazing one that keep happy others while traveling to offices or colleges whatever between 7 am to 11am :D I always Try to get engaged  with...
