Elevator Technologies of tomorrow

Taking the stairs is rare these days unless and until you're someone who loses sleep over calories. You come home after a long day, jam your fingers on the elevator button twice or thrice or up to the point where someone asks how bad your day went and get inside for a few awkward seconds standing beside strangers who are equally eager to get off from this temporary confinement. We don't really care about something as trivial as “how good the elevator functioned”. Call it our habit of shutting out certain matters we deem as insignificant or simply being ignorant- ironically, there's an entire industry that cares a lot about how smoothly you get from the ground floor to your apartment or to that kickass hotel suite.

Interior Design Tips

The color of your room is one of the biggest factors working behind how it looks. Choose the right one and it'll look beautiful. Pick a weird combination and it'll get on everyone's nerves.

How not to ruin conversations

Starting a conversation and keeping them on are the most uncomfortable sweat-breakers some of us face every day. While it's easier with people we instantly click with, strangers and social friends seem to fall inside unchartered territory as we struggle with awkward silences.
