» Looking to escape the summer heat? In need of a vacation from all the troubles you face at work? But where should you spend your next vacay? There's a boatload of hotels popping up in the country but even then one might feel overwhelmed with all the pre-planning, booking and packing you have to do.

Fret not, as Guru has sought out the newest and upcoming hotels worth your attention. So mark your calendars. Holiday times are a go! You got less than 250 days this year, so there's plenty of planning to be made.

Talking heads
Guru, Pasavat Tanskul, Published on 28/09/2018
» In most countries, negativity towards mental health and depression still looms large, casting doubt and uncertainty for those who suffer from the common yet complicated mental illnesses to talk about it. "Crazy" or "insane" are words often used for such people, and because of the shame and stigma attached to mental health, it prevents most from seeking professional help. However, several groups and projects have been established to help gain a better understanding of what such people go through, and to raise awareness. Knowing what to say to someone who is depressed may be difficult, but these groups have provided a platform for those wanting to help and more so for those who need help.
