About Us

When we are ill, we look for a doctor. When we need food, we visit the supermarket. When it comes to modern living, we need a sophisticated knowledge platform. Name it- food supplies, health drinks, quality coffee selection, kitchenware, cool appliances – we cover it all!

Backed by intense analysis of existing products and services, we present to you reviews and how-tos of modern life requirements that you can access easily anytime, anywhere. We do the hard work, so you can sit back, and scroll through a page that answers all your lifestyle questions. In fact, most of your queries will be answered in the form of extensive research which will take you less than five minutes to go through!

So, no more hours of straining self-research. Let us carry the burden for you. You just sit back and browse through our extensive list of life improvement articles on Boat Basin Café!

Boat Basin Cafe used to be a real restaurant on W 79th Street & The Hudson River, Downtown New York, but it closed down for the reconstruction of Riverside Park. You can read about it here. Ever since, Jonathan Bird took on the website to start a blog to share his knowledge with the world.

Arya Adhara
Germ Freak

Before you ask, no, my name was not inspired by GoT. I was born before the book was published! 

Anyway, my mother was a residential and commercial cleaner and has taught me any tips and tricks around the kitchen.

I hope to share those with you to help you too!

Undergraduate Degree
Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery

Writing
I always felt I could express myself better through writing.

My comfort zone lies in non-fiction and information articles. I love writing about what I learned in medical school in an easier, more palatable style. I am also vocal about world politics, social science, human behavior, and psychology.

Dreams
Getting a Ph.D. on Infectious Diseases
I dream of getting a Ph.D. on Infectious Diseases one day. I have been passionate about this for the last couple of years and now it looks like the world needs more people working in this field.

If I ever succeed to become an Infection Expert, I plan on teaching at a university. Also, I plan on creating easily understandable content on Infections to create mass awareness.
