                                    Becoming- A Netflix Documentary on Michelle Obama the First Lady of America is a 1 hour 30 min documentary full of accomplishment, proficiency, and growth from her book tour. The book is still on my reading list but I thought to first watch the documentary about her journey and some hardship she faced being the first "Black First lady". The documentary is all about her interviews during her book tour with Ophrah Winfrey, Reese Witherspoon, Sarah Jessica Parker, Phoebe, Canon O'Brien, Gayle King, and Stephen Colbert. The interview has also embraced her mother, her brother, husband, and kids some vital people in her life.

Hello I'm Tanisha Mohan Shet  It's a happy quarantined morning and the thought just crossed my mind to write something about me. Well, I thought to do that for my readers. I tried experimenting with a lot of skills during this lockdown to keep me busy like preparing a new dish and posting a video online but that's not what I enjoyed doing, sketching, writing, etc. So thought of writing and creating a blog as that's what kept me interested. I'm not a professional writer. I have just started to be in the flow and I'm just developing the skill and improvising the level for my readers.

This page is going to be motivating and an inspiring kind of page for the readers and would be honored to serve people with it. I have a habit of being a perfectionist in whatever skill I make an...

So it was planned with my ex-office colleagues the Ahmedabad University where are used to work before. So it was Me, Riddhi and Keita we three decided to travel with our two-wheelers in this bone-chilling winter morning to Thol Bird Sanctuary which is around 25 km and take 45 mins to reach and well it was worth getting up at 5am in the morning to watch the most beautiful winter sunrise. While were on the way to Thol there were a herd of camels in the farm and the sight was just splendid to my eyes. Thol is an artificial lake in Mehasan District surrounded with different species of birds, cranes etc and people take a brief walk above the lake on the semi constructed...
