The first time when someone confronted me about my belief in God was when I had just started medical school. “So, you don’t believe in God?” she’d asked. “Of course, I do believe,” I replied almost indignantly but I still remember being taken aback at the question and the point-blank manner in which it was put forth. Well, she was a senior so she thought she could. “There’s no temple, no deity in your room, so I assumed,” she said

Off late, I have been reading so many quotes and articles on “Raise your sons well”, “Teach your sons to do this and that”, “Boys need to be raised well as they will become someone’s husband”, etc., Point noted and yes agreed that sons need to be raised well.  Since ages, especially in Indian context, boys have been pampered and spoilt in many households.

As someone who often writes on parenting, it’s quite natural that I get invites to Facebook pages dedicated to parenting. I accept them because I do believe that it’s a great way to network with mommies who are also making the same parenthood journey that I am. Contrary to what a lot of cynics might think, I’d say quite a lot happens on these pages. From recipes to travel tips to DIY projects to hacks to job advice. I mean

The Flawless Flaws campaign’s street plays are called ‘Nukad Nataks’ to create awareness against acid attacks. Tagore International school, Vasant Vihar students of classes 10th to 12th have created a school’s theatre group called ‘TEAM AVAAM’ that curates plays and drama based on social causes/campaigns. These plays are made to sensitize various communities and slums on harsh issues concerning to our society. For instance, on acid attacks, these students prepare plays that they showcase during parent teacher meetings (PTMs) in schools, in bastis/slums, places

A woman, in her daily life, has to adapt to many situations and circumstances because of her immense powers of empathy, understanding, patience and tolerance. But that doesn’t mean just because you are a woman, you keep working

Skin donation – as important part of acid attack survivor’s life. (Flawless Flaws Campaign) We have all heard and known of organ donation, blood donation; but skin donation is a rare known fact.

Do note that the natural skin surgery costs are much cheaper than compared to plastic skin

Our main aim is to eradicate the illegal sale of acid which still exists in many places including cities. We also conduct surveys on the same and report the matter to the concerned authorities. We spread awareness not just in schools but also in communities that need it the

In many Indian households, expression of anger and outbursts in front of the whole clan, neighbors, outsiders is a very common thing.  We all might have observed this.  Criticizing, ridiculing, passing sarcastic comments is alright.  Parents fighting like cats and dogs in front of their children, parents yelling and beating their kids in front of everyone in the name of discipline, daughter-in-law being humiliated in front of strangers, etc., is something which we Indians don’t mind at all. But…how many
