source Parenting is a journey, a path you learn to tread on only once you step on it. No literature, no advice can prepare you for what lies ahead. As your baby grows, so do you as a parent. Despite the ups and downs, the sleepless nights and the conversion of your house into a laundry…parenting is a wonderful on-the-job training. God has deliberately made these little bundles so cute- a gurgle, a chuckle and a smile from them can instantly make everything seem worthwhile.

Greatness in deeds is greatness indeed!
Greatness ain’t what you become it is what you overcome! In this journey that we call life, we cross paths with so many people; some as acquaintances, some as friends, a few as family and a lot that just co-inhabit the planet. We forget many…remember so few. Only rarely do we come across a person whose name can be appended with ‘the great…’- a person who is truly #madeofgreat and touches our life in a way that changes it forever. Greatness, I believe, does not pertain to a single act of heroism or an achievement. It is a part of an individual’s personality- a habit of committing to the right,…

McCain-Recipe of a smile!
‘Laughter is brightest where food is best!’ -an Irish proverb Food forms an essential part of our lives. It is not just about survival, nutrition or calories; food has incorporated itself into our culture. It is central to socialising; it is the most important determinant of how good and well catered an event is. Food is an area in budget that is uncompromised on in weddings. We meet friends over coffee, we conduct business meetings over lunch and go out on dates over dinner. Food is, as you can see, highly important and if the food is good, it brings an added charm to any event. In our country, we…

5 steps of digital detoxification- Towards # Real Togetherness!
Hand in hand, fingers entangled… Gazes locked with each other. Fleeting touch or a little smile The essence of being together! In a time not very long ago, this quote held its relevance. Now though, it has become irrelevant. While the human race cherishes its dominance over machines, it has actually become a slave to it. The fingers are no longer entangled with those of the loved one but rather hold a tiny device that has taken over the present world. Seldom does anyone notice the surroundings any more, beautiful or ugly, as the eyes are glued to screens of laptops and tablets and mobiles. The only touch everyone seems…

A heartfelt promise to my heart!
It is true that we women take less care of our health than we should. It has nothing to do with ignorance or lack of awareness, trust me. It just stems from the fact that in our checklist of priorities, we forget to list ourselves. Working women have too much on their hands and the house makers have no time. I say so because despite being a medical doctor myself, I usually forget to do anything proactively for fitness. I just keep procrastinating, thinking that I will start once I am done with the work at hand. Work never ends and it is my non-medico husband who reminds me constantly…

Home is where the remote is!
In the times when women swear by characters like ‘Gopi Bahu’ and discuss serials more than their actual lives, I have a confession to make- I don’t watch serials. I have heard of Gopi bahu but I do not even know what channel the serial is aired on. Good…you say? Well yes,maybe ‘coz the stories of addiction are rampant but my reasons are different. Though I am no fan of the camera zooming on every character’s face thrice after each dialogue with a melodramatic sound in the background, yet I do like to watch a couple of things on TV when I get an access to it. No,I don’t live…

Horrors of the Heart(h)
I belong to a Punjabi family. In our house, hospitality and ‘feeding till you can breathe no more’ are synonyms. Till the guests who have come over are not fed beyond the retention capacity of their stomachs, they have not been treated well. Punjabis love to eat, period. The cities of Punjab, especially Amritsar are particularly known for oil-dripping, calorie-rich irresistibly yummy food that is bound to increase a person’s cholesterol by leaps and bounds. That is not a deterrent though. Why? I did mention it is irresistibly yummy, didn’t I? We Punjabis have large hearts and huge appetites and expect the same from everyone. Therefore, needless to say that…
