NOT USE AND THROW!

Someone calls you, messages you after a long, long time.  It might be an acquaintance, an old friend, a relative.  You are surprised because you didn’t give that acquaintance or relative your number or you weren’t in touch with that person since years. You are happy to hear from that person.  He/she says, “Hi!  Remember me?  Its so good to connect with you after so long.”  You smile and ask about his/her well being and whereabouts.  After some casual conversation

ALLOW LOVE TO FIND YOU

I attended a family wedding recently. I was glad I reached India just in time to catch it. Surrounded by my favourite people, I just soaked in the laughter and bonhomie. For a while the clock had turned back for my cousins and I.  Catching up with cousins was definitely the high point but what I loved more than that was catching up with my nieces and nephews, some of whom are in their early twenties. I especially enjoy interacting

RAISING KIDS EQUALLY

One of the toughest challenges of parenting that I have tackled successfully (I believe so) is raising two children by striking a balance in their upbringing.  It started the day when I conceived my second child.  Often second-time parents overlook the fact that the arrival of a sibling is going to cause a big change in the older child’s life.  Preparing the older child for the sibling is extremely important.  No matter what, after the arrival of the second child,

Play Through Life Like It’s A Super Over

The world cup fever is finally lifting. As we made peace with our loss, little did we know then, that the finals would still grab our attention, despite us not being a part of it. The morning after, the question on everyone’s lips was, ‘Final dekha kya?’ (Did you watch the finals?) Both the countries gave their best which was enough to keep someone like me, who is so not into cricket, glued to the couch. As usual, I being

Don’t make cuss words look like forbidden fruit

There’s a good reason why they say that it isn’t just the parents who give birth to a child but also a child who gives birth to parents. Almost overnight the responsibility of a life is thrust upon two unsuspecting individuals who are wary of every little decision they make. The refrigerator gets a makeover as the house is baby proofed; in short life as they have known it, is gone for good. Among other things, we start minding our

INDIAN KIDS MUST BE ASEXUAL?

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
