Star Wars in my home- Re-invented!
As I grew up watching and awing over Star Wars, I never knew I would be living them one day. Surprised? Well, don’t be. Having a child in the house is nothing less than Star Wars; you get the Jedi and Sith together, packaged in the form of an adorably cute little person and you constantly fight to eliminate the Sith and bask in the glory of the occasional moments when the Jedi takes over. Being a parent is apparently an intergalactic experience too! HP has always come up with innovative, out-of-the-box ideas but I am literally swept away by its Star Wars Special Edition notebook. It is like a…

A box of memories..
Have you ever woken up in the middle of the night and checked on your baby and then sat looking at her, fascinated by the innocence on her face? Yes, of course! The tiny part of you that has gained independence and is now a human being never fails to amaze you, scare you and make you laugh your heart out at times. That is motherhood! Being a mother is a life-time job but the first couple of years are the most memorable. My daughter is six years old now and when I look back, the very things that made me fret make me smile now. I opened a box…

The advent of #technocrats!
From autocracy to democracy, the world is now paving way for technocracy-a system of governance where decision making is based on technological knowledge. Digital India and e-governance are India’s steps towards the same. This evolution occurred along with that of the landline to a smartphone-probably the fastest evolution ever! The small device aka second skin to our hands, has been instrumental in the rise of technology and a new way of life. Initially, smartphones were mostly ‘neighbour’s envy’ as they were too expensive. Then Micromax entered the scene and redefined affordable technology. No doubt, it is today the second-largest phone maker. Micromax empowered the nation with smartphones; see how everything…

Max Fresh moves of little feet
I came across this contest on Blogadda and decided to let it pass as it demanded uploading a video of someone dancing to the latest Colgate Max Fresh Move song featuring Allu Arjun and Anushka Manchanda. Ask me to dance in a party with others or dance in a baraat, I will happily oblige but filming a video of myself while doing so and uploading it on the social media….well, I am not that good or confident at all. Nevertheless, I sat listening to the song on my laptop, probably imagining what I would dance like if I could. My 6 year old daughter, who was all sleepy and unwilling…

Constructive parenting with Colgate
source Children today are very intelligent and smart. They are exposed to technology and knowledge at very tender ages. This exposure can be converted from a bane to a boon by using parental discretion. We don’t need to shelter our kids and hide them away. That would mean taking them back to the medieval times…we don’t want to do that. A prudent thing to do would be to guide them and strike a balance. That is what constructive parenting is all about. Constructive parenting not only boosts your child’s self-esteem but also makes your child confident and creative. It is not without reason that children have amazing imaginations. They can…

Aaj kal ke bachhe- Generation Z!
Yes,I do get it! Times change and so does the world with it and it would sound just natural for the kids of today to be different from us.

There is no generation gap between us and aaj kal ke bachhe…it is like we are worlds apart. The kids are not at fault,no. It is what the world has become today and we cannot hide our kids in a cocoon and shelter them from advancement…it even…
