The market for fireworks is growing, but what about the environment?

In the distance, fireworks were sparking and popping, illuminating the sky for miles. It's when a loud boom echoes throughout the neighborhood. For many people, it’s just another Fourth of July celebration . . . but for others, it's pure terror. Dogs whine. Cats hide beneath the bed. Birds get disoriented and frightened. Even some people have severe phobias of loud noises or fireworks. The firework market, however, is growing. In 2020, the global...

This Poila Baishakh I Took A Trip Down The Memory Lane

I visited Princeton, NJ last October to have an onsite business strategy discussion with one of our Costume retailer client. It was even more exciting to experience the crazy...

365 days of blogging self-challenge

Happy New Year! I was thinking about taking blogging challenge last few months. Finally, I am starting it as my New Year resolution. In our busy life continuity is a problem, but I pledge myself that I will write at least a few lines every day and hit the 'post' button. I don't have any curated list.. Well, my kid jumped in to say 'Good morning' and snatched my mobile for few minutes that I was using to write this post. So, I need to wrap up early than I thought. This is me, and welcome to my life! Wish you have an amazing New Year 2018......

With technologies like telephone, microwave, refrigerator, airplanes we have now extended reach, many things are now in our fingertips. In this modern age of convenience, when we are forced to wait, we became impatient. We are living in a philosophy of “I want it now!”. But we should understand, waiting is a vital element of life.
