say no to plastic Undoubtedly plastic has remained our friend for ages. We have been making use of plastic in everything we do - going to the market, stocking up food items, decorating our homes, using plastic mugs and buckets, and what not. Plastic is all pervasive!

In a majority of the cases, dowry is the root cause of the problem of female feticide. Would you disagree? Since parents of the girl know they would be forced to sub...
