The heading of my article sounds strange right?  But it’s true..according to Indian parents and elders, our young ones and the youth, should remain strictly asexual until they get married. Not just in their body but in their minds too!  Sounds unbelievable, right? We Indians have a big issue with the word sex and talking about it with kids is a big no-no for the parents.  “Kids bigad jaenge”…that’s what they say.  A kid who is going through puberty has

APJ Abdul Kalam once said, “Failure will never overtake me if my definition to succeed is strong enough.” A beautiful quote by our former president, it talks about the ability of a person’s mind to overcome obstacles in the toughest of times. Mind is a very powerful thing, and I believe that it is our own mind which can make or break our life. I am Dr. Naavnidhi K. Wadhwa, Founder & Coach of Rapid Evolution where we aim to

When I started writing, almost two years ago, people would be curious, some were appreciative too. But the moment I would mention the word ‘blogging’, I was met with many a skeptically raised eyebrow. “Ah… so you are a mom blogger?” I would also smell a hint of derision in the tone, sometimes bordering on insult. Or was I imagining? Maybe… Still green behind the ears, I didn’t quite understand what the term meant and would nod a hesitant affirmative

Planning a social media detox. So, no more waking in the morning and rubbing my eyes with one hand and scrolling the phone with the other. No more checking the phone in between waking up my daughter and running behind her with a glass of milk in one hand and the phone in the other. No more checking WhatsApp 100 times for messages during the day even though the notification is on. As if that all important message “Your account

I am Ginee Wadhawan and this is my story. I was working in a US corporate education institute for 17 long years and two years ago, l resigned from my position of Marketing Head, Asia Pacific . I left to be with my father who was suffering from a serious illness. During my work tenure I met so many people, traveled to many places and realized that there is so much to teach and learn from the world. My father

30.06.2019 is World Social Media Day and I think it’s quite befitting that I talk about it today. I’ve lived a nomad’s life for the better part of my existence on this planet. Just when I would ease into familiarity, it would be time to move again. So much so, that after 3-4 years of staying in one place, I would start getting a niggling feeling and soon enough, it would be time to pack our bags. It was downright

Indian society and its rules are strange!  Picture this: “A good girl doesn’t drink, smoke or party.” “A good girl doesn’t go out late in the night.” “A good girl never answers back or puts forth her point in front of the elders.” “A good girl dresses up decently.” “A good girl obeys her parents and in-laws (even if she is unhappy herself)”. “A good girl always prioritizes others over herself.” “A good girl shouldn’t talk or laugh loudly.” “A

Diagnosed with stage 4 osteoarthritis and I had lost my knees. I have no cartilage. It was a very depressing time. There was one day when I was extremely disturbed and depressed, I was lying down on my bed and asking myself, Why am I alive? I needed a purpose in my life. At that time I read a small story on internet. The story goes like this – There was a man who died and went to heaven. In

Every woman, including me always dreamed of going to faraway places, but it wasn’t always possible due to the enormous responsibilities that we as women must undertake for our family. There’s also the fear of the unknown!  Vacation for a woman in any household means, going to the place where either your partner, husband, family wants to go or where kids’ can enjoy. But what about you? What about your dreams to explore places of scenic beauty or thrilling adventure?

As paradoxical as it may sound, but being a doctor, I generally avoid defending them. The reason is, that my point of view, howsoever true, will always be misconstrued. But the past few weeks have been especially distressing with news coming in from two different states that were disturbing and unfortunately had the doctors at the epicenter of both.  I am not going to defend them; I don’t need to. People know the reality; they know that the percentage of
