Memories of summer

Summer is here. Brings me the childhood memories of summer days. The arrival of summer used to be exciting because we could have ice creams.

We would have exams by around February end or March. And I would be so excited for the summer holidays. Summer holidays were great because it marked the…

The aluminium foil contains all the details of the medicine like - the brand name, chemical name, caution information, manufacturing date, expiry date and batch number. As we start using the tablets and tear the aluminum foil, the details…
