No, I am not here to criticise this new branding. It has got its fair share of bashing already.

Spare my lungs. This is my prayer every time I have the misfortune, which is quite often, to have a UBS bus in front of me in traffic, or to have them pass me when I am on the streets.
Ok, factors contributing to air pollution are many but these buses make you think that they [...]

I really don’t understand why some people always compare Mauritius and other countries when they want to illustrate why a certain change must occur in Mauritius.

Today, we have a large number of married women who work. And many of them are mothers too. What I particularly want to talk about here are those ‘new’ mothers. After their maternity leave, which is around two months, they have to worry about finding a good and qualified nursery or someone to look after [...]

Everyone has a right to have an opinion. Everyone has the right to voice out that opinion. But does everyone stop to think about the way and the words they will use when conveying that particular opinion?

Keeping healthy eating habits cost money. A lot. More people nowadays are aware of the vast advantages of including more veggies in our food. But really, those green stuffs are expensive!
I went for some green shopping at Ebene Way the other day and was amazed to find out that one lettuce costs Rs10, One pear [...]

Pedestrian crossings are for pedestrians. Why can’t drivers grasp this concept, I don’t know.
Some time back, I was listening to R1. (I usually don’t listen to that crap but since I was not in my car, I could not say anything.) Anyway, on air this guy (I really don’t like him) was complaining about how [...]
