One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I have seen people helping each other out in worst of tragedies.
I loved river rafting, parasailing, and mountaineering (for a month).
I enjoyed being in Goa on Arambol beach. It was amazing to lie in fresh water warm lake in one moment and play with ocean water the next. I loved the freedom of being there.
