Weekly Wellness Blog: October 9th, 2019

Welcome back to all of you after fall break. I hope you had a relaxed and well-deserved break. I saw a lot of you traveling to places you had never been to before, meeting up with the family or just relaxing on a beach. The challenge for this week and the week ahead is: Of all the places you visit this Fall Break, tweet a picture of your fav moment. It can be a place you visited, new food you tried, a candid shot of you doing something, etc. The first 20 entries with the hashtag #AISCWellbeing will win fun gifts. You already have the pictures. Go ahead and post them now.

Story Trails - India exists in her stories

The sights you see are but a small part of her charm. To truly experience India, try sampling the local life, with its assortment of customs, traditions, and stories.
Story trails was born with the idea of sampling India through her stories; Of taking our guests to savor local sights and sounds, but through the eyes of a storyteller; Of going beyond the sights themselves, and uncovering characters and customs that made these places come alive.
I am hoping to coordinate events with Story Trails based on your interest. Have a look at what they have to offer. Here is the link to their website. You can attend this individually or with a group. I'm leaning more towards a group as we could offer transportation to and fro from the tour chosen if need be. 
Fill in the form to the tour you would like to attend and I will then revert back to you. I've only gotten 4 responses so far. Once I have a minimum of 10 responses I can take this forward and have it organized for you. It's a great opportunity for all of you to experience a slice of Chennai.
