FREE REIN

Free rein is a British Netflix series. It is basically about horses and their connection with humans.

A 15 year old girl from L.A, Zoe Philips, is on a vacation to her grandfather's house in an island off the coast of England .

Zoe's sister, Rosie, goes missing and she goes out in search for her and runs across a few natives belonging to the stables right in front of house.

When she's searching near the beach, she runs across a wild horse from Bright Feilds Stables, Raven!

She turns out to be the only person in the yard who can calm Raven down. Even though she is there only for the summer,  she feels that Bright Feilds is her home.

So when it's time to go back to LA, she doesn't want to,

Well, if I tell you everything about what happens, there will be no suspense and so will probably have no fun watching. 

It is a totally horsome series  (get it, horse + awsome). You should really check it out if you like to be outdoors, like horses and many other reasons why.

DIVERGENT

Divergent is the name of an amazing series by Veronica Roth. 

It is basically about how she imagines the future will be. The society is divided into five factions, namely - Abnegation, Amity, Candor, Dauntless and Erudite. 

The faction you choose is based on what kind of qualities you want to have. Each faction has one major quality that makes it different from the rest. 

- Abnegation value selflessness.
- Amity value peace.
- Candor value truth.
- Dauntless value bravery.
- Erudite value knowledge. 

Each person, at the age of sixteen, attends the choosing ceremony and select the faction they want to be in by pricking their hand and dropping their blood into the bowl representing their chosen faction.

After the choosing ceremony, they all go through different types of initiation depending on their faction.

The series is about a young girl, Tris Prior, of Abnegation who wants to be free from the rules of her faction of birth.

So, she chooses Dauntless to lead the life she longs for. Initiation is tough because from all the initiates, Dauntless-born and transfers alike,only ten get spots as faction members and others are rendered faction less. 

 Well, I should stop now as I am giving too much away. If you want to know more, read the books to find out................................
It is just AMAZING and it is recommended to everyone!!!!!

A trip is the best when planned at the last moment. Such was our trip to Pondicherry, the only French colony in India.The drive from Bangalore to Pondicherry, without breaks, is roughly 7 hours. Read on to find out more about this trip.

Pondicherry, famous for it's French food and architecture, is a very safe and sound city. Everything there was something you can't experience in a city.

If you are wondering where to stay, I would recommend the guesthouses of Auroville, a peaceful area built in the memory of Sri Aurobindo and has the Matri Mandir at it's heart. It symbolizes peace between different countries as it has 1800 residents from all over the world.

As for the beaches, I particularly like three beaches when compared to many other beaches in India. These beaches are named Serenity beach, Rock beach and Paradise beach.

The conditions are perfect for surfing. Many diverse shells also collectable. Rocks are laid out in such a way that if you climb and walk till the end, you will find yourself surrounded by the Bay of Bengal.

Instead of having sand on the shore, there are rocks, just as the name "Rock Beach "implies.It is also really near the Raj Nivas, currently inhabited by the IPS officer and politician Kiran Bedi. It is really calming to sit on a well-chosen rock and listen to the music made by waves crashing on the rocks.

There is beggary in the language which tries to describe Paradise beach. White sands to high waves, rain dancing to trampoline bungees and boating to relaxing under the sun, there is always something for everyone over there.

Get into a boat from the boathouse to reach the beach as it is a peninsula. The boat ride is on the calm backwaters. After enjoying the beach in the morning, take a shower and then enjoy a delicious Tamilian lunch.

I guarantee beach lovers will enjoy this trip a lot !!!
