Summer time is back .This word ‘summer’ has different meanings for different people. While for most of us, it means scorching heat waves, sunny and exhausted long days and so on. But for one , a very important section, this word bring lots and lots of joy. For them it means ice cream , cold drink, milk shakes; it means outings , Nani ka Ghar; it means swimming , cycling ; it means hours of play without mom asking them every now and them to revise their lessons. Yes, the kids

Speech delay is very common amongst kids these days. It is not a rare sight of kids as old as 2 or 3 years using hardly few words and dependant mainly on sign language for most of their communication. I feel, the major road block for kids not being able to pick up age appropriate speech is the ‘Its OK’ attitude of the family members. “It’s OK .. he would start speaking soon” “It’s OK, some kids pick up speech late” I strongly contradict here.. yes he would start speaking soon

My son was doing a worksheet about different religions of our country. Against all other religions columns were named ‘history‘ and ‘founders‘ but against Hinduism , it was ‘Hindu mythology’ and the founder column was missing for the same. You can precisely find the history and founders of all religions but just because this religion is the oldest of all other, and its complete details are destroyed by the incoming invaders and remains are nowhere taught to the coming generat

Tantrums have recently become an evolved way of communication by kids. Why I am saying evolved is because when you find some better and effective tool in your present situation, you seem to have evolved it. May be this form of communication have served their purpose better. Or maybe there is something else troubling the child and he is not able to communicate. What it could be and how can we help, not only the child but ourself. To know the answers, check out- From Monkeying

How often do we say things like ‘Take Care’ , ‘Keep in touch’, ‘Call u back’ , ‘Miss you’ ? How often do we actually mean it ? Even the receiving end reciprocates immediately by saying ‘ You too’. Even when we share (or exploit our Data limit) with Good Morning messages / GIFs do we really wish the other person to have a ‘good’ morning. We have been so accustomed to this routine that now we don’t even realise that we are lying and just being fake. Words transfer from one pers

Friends are often associated with joy.. the joy of .. eating out.. Shopping.. Watching movie.. And even the joy in sorrow .. Your bestie play a very important role in introducing you to yourself .. in letting you do things you would have never thought of even trying .. in making out the best of every moment of your life .. I am blessed to have my bestie to let me to have all this and adding one more joy in life .. The joy of running .. Running to me is very much like writing

Lesson #1 First and foremost when he doesn’t turn up , he teaches me the lesson – Nothing is Permanent. This ensures I do not get overdependent on anything and It helps me brush my ‘hunt for survival’ skills. Lesson #2 Second, when I start looking for other options , I am often at the mercy of these other driver’s sweet will whether to drop me at my destination or choose to move forward on their way. This teaches me- To face Rejection. Things won’t always turn up the way we d

Kaida … Kaida ..Akhir fayda.. (What’s the use of so many rules ?) This song has been my personal favourite from my childhood days. Not only for the reason of great performances by the players on camera and behind the camera, involved, but more because of that imaginary world where this song takes me. You can enjoy the same too. Blue sun , Moon on ground laiden with Ice cream ..Toffees on plants and ladoos on trees .. I had always enjoyed it listening . However, when I recentl

It’s Examination time again .. This is the time when we parents are our fierceful best with our child’s studies. Today morning, I saw one such mom taking last minute revision test of her daughter. She was utilising her time in the society’s elevator while one the way of dropping her to school. My appeal to all the parents – please go easy .

Comparing or even using the two days in the same sentence seems inappropriate. No, I am not getting into culture debates and the controversy whether we should or not celebrate Valentine day. It’s because SHIVA is everything. SHIVA is complete and with him you really don’t need anything else. Actually nothing else exists other than SHIVA. To make things more simple and able to co-relate for my new and mod generation , allow me to put the analogy here. SHIVA is love and purity.

Second post from my guest – Mrs Anuradha Nehra, sharing more of her wisdom and insight. Like any other day, after seeing my son off to his office, i gave final touches to my home, saw myself once in the mirror while picking up my bag and rushed to Metro Station, because as always I was late for my office. It was office time and every body was almost running on the road. Even at Metro Station when train came, people were pushing each other to get inside, hardly thinking about

The aunts play a very important role in Indian Household. Yes ! the Aunts – the elder ladies of the extended family. The mami jis and the tayi jis . I remember, my mother used to consult them before making any important decision regarding alliance or ceremonies etc. After marriage I saw my mother in law, too in the similar role . That is very rightful also, as who else can guide us better than our elders. However, for the todays’ smart generation, this vital task has also bee
