Place your hand in mine;
Let me look a little deeper,
Let me caress your worries away,
Let me kindle your heart with joy,
Let me soothe your pain and
Wipe your tears away…
For I have been watching over you.
All the years you have been swaying away;
In the storm and in the rain,
In the light and in the darkness;
In times of grief and happiness:
In times of hope and despair;
Trust me, for I am willing
To grant you the bliss of being you:
Wholly, completely, explicitly;
Exactly how you have been destined to be…
So hold my hand and come close,
Hold on to the strong rope of faith and
Hang in there and never lose hope, for
You are destined to be who you are -
Today, tomorrow and forever as time shall see
Your beauty on the land and your essence in the air:
For I am who is willing to grant you
An eternity of selfless YOU!
Now you can decide who I am –
Yourself, God or simply faith…
For such faith in yourself, God and the world
Will take you places, where the grass is green all over!
It will land you on the surface of the moon
And let you experience the heat of the sun
In the calm and peace of your home!
You will finally be able to breathe in the fresh air
And pack all that you inhale in your lungs,
Longing to go back to the wilderness that
Once took you away from the Me who is talking to you…
Well, hold on strong, tight and just right
And I shall do the rest…
For I let you decide who I am -
A talking parrot, alien or perhaps a religious book:
Acknowledging the deeper depths of who you are
And who you are born to be…
Don’t be fooled by Godmen pretending to know me;
Don’t be marred by the ego of selfish humans;
Don’t be carried away in the hurricane of busy workers:
Just know that divinity and serenity go hand in hand –
Often misplaced by one another:
Finding each other at the end of the cliff,
As you allow yourself to succumb to
The height you fear so much!
Well, I am nothing but the spirit within you,
Whispering the truth that man does not want
To hear or see but cannot escape from…
So, my lad, smile and make merry for I am her
Talking to you – you just got to listen!

Postpartum depression is a term often regarded for women who have recently encountered pregnancy and childbirth. It is an episode of sudden outbursts of emotions and major depressive disorder soon after the birth of a child. It is most often reported in mothers: however, it happens in fathers too! So maybe here we should give a little more credit to the phrase – “Men have feelings too.”
One out of every ten fathers goes through postpartum depression. This change in their mood, body, and mind can be noticed before the child’s birth! If we see closely, about half of all expectant dads gain up to 30 pounds on average during their partners’ pregnancies. And that isn’t all. A dad-to-be can expect to be slammed by at least one pregnancy symptom, like nausea, fatigue, food cravings, odor aversions, mood swings, sleep problems, or bouts of bloat. The agitation of how things are going to be, the change in lifestyle, the responsibility of being a new father, watching “the wife” go through the process of pregnancy, the pressure to be there for everyone – the new mom, the newborn, family, society, etc., has a lot of impact in the mind of a new dad.
Thinking about everything around them during and after a child’s birth makes it normal for men to lose their minds, too, like women! However, PPD in men is different from that in women. They show symptoms like irritability, mood swings, change in sleep and appetite, fatigue, etc. However, they may not express it outwardly by crying as women do. Postpartum depression in men can result from financial stress, relationship issues, recent trauma or loss, unplanned pregnancy, not knowing how to help, and watching things they have never witnessed the women in their lives go through.
Sadly, people often forget that with the birth of a child, new parents are born too. It is not only the birthday of the baby; it is also the birthday of the parents! It is the transformation of two individuals, too – they have been transforming from the day they learned about the pregnancy! It is not as easy as the rom-com movies show us – real life is all about smiles, tears, anger, agitation, confusion, dilemma, change, laughter, milestones (for the parents, too), groundbreaking parameters that keep in check what each person including the new baby needs! Welcoming a newborn baby is not only about baby photoshoots and people all smiling and giggling. It is more about dirty diapers, loud crying, sleepless nights, feeding, trying to find sleep, getting irritated with the simplest of things, giving into food cravings, not having any interest in things you once found enjoyable, getting advice from all over the world, finding peace and most importantly, finding oneself and finding the depth and strength of the marriage and partnership! Therefore, the whole thing is about the baby and the new mom and dad! It is about how they are coping with the situation – together, hand-in-hand, lovingly, and with so much love and reassurance that they will do it in peace and calm no matter what.
It is, therefore, imperative to make the men feel validated and relevant in a newborn’s life! Most Indian homes do not include the fathers in doing the baby chores, which makes them ignorant about how things work! Allowing them to contribute to the baby’s duties can make a massive difference in helping them understand and cope with what is going on and also gives them an idea of what the woman is going through, making them more considerate of the situation – allowing themselves to deal with their own insecurities and strange feelings. Only when they see and feel the struggle will they be part of it and try to set things right in the best way possible. Inclusiveness is a great way to fight postpartum depression in men and women. Couples who understand and are there for each other end up coming out of the depression faster and more robustly. Children who grow up with teams who understand and acknowledge each other’s flaws and strengths become mindful adults. It is, therefore, important for everyone to be involved with one another and burn through the struggles of raising a family unit together! Postpartum depression is natural – it is as accurate as pregnancy in women and equally relevant in men. Let us, together as a generation, break stereotypes of gender roles and gender equations. Let us not tag the weaker sex with how they deal with their emotions. Let us understand and accept that men can and will feel emotions, men can and will cry, men can and will empathize, men can and must contribute, and men can and will have depression and anxiety. It does not make them less of a man, but it makes them more human and just how men are supposed to be – considerate and compassionate. Let us create a generation of strong, rooted, loving, and thoughtful men.

Slow and steady wins the race. It is so accurate and relevant even today. In such a fast-paced world, the idea of slow and steady or taking your time and being in control… Does it actually work?
There is a lot of wisdom and power in understanding and acknowledging the importance of patience and doing things at our own pace. There is no rush or hurry, unlike most people think. Yes, time is precious and not to be wasted, but there is profound intelligence in waiting and grasping the wonderful essence of what it is all about and giving your all!
Taking your time has benefits, like managing stress – you don’t want to be constantly rushed and feel anxious over the most minor things. Once you understand the power and advantages of doing and looking at things at a more sensible and reasonable pace, there is no looking back! You are in control; you know your priorities. You learn to strategize and allocate tasks better, understand how you will find the solution (your way), and know when to slow down and break – nothing is more important than making yourself feel confident and efficient. So what must you do to master the art of taking time to do things, taking time for yourself, and exploring new prospects? Well, deliberately SLOWING DOWN!
Write slowly, speak slowly, cook slowly, and do things slowly and steadily – ensure you understand each step and process clearly before jumping to conclusions and actions. This will ensure better results and a peaceful mind with the satisfaction of completing what you intended. The significant benefit of taking your time and knowing your pace is that you will make fewer mistakes and errors. Of course, you won’t make mistakes when you do things slowly. However, the chances of fallacies are much less if you first understand the task.
The attitude plays a vital role in your self-love journey… The habit of not rushing and having a calm aura to yourself enables a serene sensation in and around you that benefits not just yourself but others. You can draw your boundaries, live your present moment, plan and strategise for your next move and make an impact. So next time, take your time. Live the moment and fix it correctly – which should be YOUR WAY! There is no shortcut to doing things – the shortcut is when you know how you will achieve them – the more you align yourself with the contentment of little things, the more you control yourself and your time. Take your time.

Sometimes the most challenging is to hold on. The mind cripples in the thoughts of letting go and the heartaches to stay longer. There is the bitter truth and absolute reality in the chaos of relationships. There is a triumph in holding on and letting go – all based on which side of the coin you are looking at. However, when there are times that question the core of how things are in life, the heart and mind have a tough time deciding which side of the coin it is this time. Healthy relationships conquer such dilemmas from a much calmer perspective. And not all bonds are the same – just like the two different sides of the same coin!
Well, the question remains: What is the quest all about? What is helping you become who you are destined to be? Is it this relationship? Because it sure has to be a significant part of your growth – emotional, physical, mental, social, spiritual, and psychological. When you know, there is room for chances that you will not be violated and ridiculed. There can be space for awareness and humble submissions. When two completely different individuals come together, there is always some agitation over the silliest reasons. How you reason with them and maintain the bond cordially determines how long the relationship will last. While there is beauty in holding on and being present, there is wisdom in understanding what is best for you. Therefore, do not, in any way, depend on any external factor to ladder your growth and advancement in life. May that be the longest and the strongest bond. There is always and forever only you by your side. Never let that light stop shining.
Ultimately, the decision to hold on or let go is personal and requires careful consideration. Remember that letting go can be difficult, but it can also be liberating and lead to new opportunities. Knowing when to hold on and when to let go is a challenging but essential aspect of life. Holding on or letting go depends on the situation and context.
5 points to consider
Evaluate the situation Before making any decision, assess the situation carefully. Analyze the pros and cons of holding on versus letting go.
Consider your emotions Emotions can cloud our judgment. Be aware of your feelings and try to evaluate the situation objectively.
Identify what you are holding on to Determine why you are holding on to something. Is it out of fear, insecurity, or habit? Understanding your motives can help you make a more informed decision.
Consider the future Consider how holding on or letting go will impact your future. Will holding on bring you closer to your goals or hinder your progress? Will letting allow you move forward and grow?
Trust your instincts Sometimes, our instincts can guide us toward the right decision. If you feel strongly about something, trust yourself.
Hold on as long as it is worth holding on, and holding on should not hamper your mental health and everyday life choices. And it must cost nothing. Your happiness and joy in your life are paramount.

Under the moon and starry nights,
Over the hills and valley depths,
Above the mountain top and tides,
I will be waiting for your footsteps’ cheer!
Crawling your way into my heart,
Milestones we have crossed;
As precious you have been, I am here.
Waiting for another heartbeat!
You have made me a mom and friend,
A loving soul more than just meat;
You have given me reasons to fight.
This whole world for your little eyes!
You are now so big already,
You don’t fall as often, see;
Walking straight with shoes and pants on,
Further away from me, but never from my heart!
You are the most precious gem,
More than the million things I want,
You are the desire, the love,
The trust and hope I adore!
You are my son
You’ve come with a purpose;
Blessed I am to be here,
Under the starry sky, over the mountainside!
Mom and son on their own
Reading books and roasting marshmallows;
Singing songs and cheering
As we love and cherish the little things!
My first son,
My last love.
Thank you for being YOU.
Thank you for making me ME!

Cocomelon has taken over too much space in this generation’s musical kid’s rhymes in most houses worldwide. But there is something to it that grabs the child’s attention instantly. It is more magical than mysterious… The world’s biggest children’s entertainment production company must be doing something truly in the spirit of goodwill that their videos are viewed billions of times – and not just by kids!
For those still unaware, Cocomelon is a popular YouTube channel that produces educational and entertaining content for young children. It features animated nursery rhymes and songs that help children learn and develop various skills such as counting, colours, shapes, and more.
This global success has multiple benefits for children’s growth and development; yes, I noticed something else. There are love songs in Cocomelon, rhymes, and songs where the animated mom and dad characters show their children how to be intimate and affectionate in a family unit together! They also show the importance of having “couple time,” date nights, day offs, and peaceful rest time.
Cocomelon has positively impacted many families by providing a fun and educational resource for young children and helping parents navigate childcare challenges. While it is difficult to quantify the exact impact that Cocomelon has had on individual lives, it is clear that the channel has become a significant part of many children’s early development and entertainment. The channel’s engaging and educational content has helped young children learn essential skills and concepts in a fun and entertaining way. Cocomelon has also provided parents and caregivers with valuable resources for entertaining and educating their children. In addition, as many parents struggle to balance work, household chores, and childcare, Cocomelon has become a helpful tool for keeping young children occupied and engaged while parents attend to other tasks.
How many mothers and fathers would have noticed these videos while playing and sitting around their kids watching Cocomelon?
It sure rings a bell in me to focus on something that started differently. It is as essential as being wonderful parents to be wonderful spouses too. It is as crucial as being amazing parents to be a fantastic couple too! It is vital to show our children that true love is family and true love is home: and that true love exists. I thank Cocomelon company for being mindful of such intricate details of parenthood and husband-wife relationships that most couples forget about. Let’s keep that light shining!

We are living in a very strange world – or so it seems from all the years that have gone by and all the generations that have lived; we are today in a time where things are so different from what they used to be. People, opportunities, priorities, professions, values, morals, ideas, understanding of things, and relevancy have changed. Children are growing up differently from how they used to. Education is evolving. Science is advancing. The human race is witnessing a transition so varied and fast-paced.
It is scary to reckon such vast change in how the world advances with each passing year. From when I was a kid, the world is so different today – it is as if I am suddenly outdated and nearing expiration from this extremely modern world!
This so-called “modern world” is quite a strange word or, instead, a phrase. We are in a time and place where sex is free, but love is expensive. Losing our phones is much more painful than losing our virginity. People have started to live off the internet – earning handsome money through social media doing almost anything random! No one has a genuine connection anymore – maybe millions of virtual admirers, which is not even close to as worthy as one true friend. The importance of quality education is honestly being eradicated, and people are beginning to believe that you do not need education and degrees to make money. Money and sex are the driving forces of life today. Drugs are sold and consumed by more youngsters than before. Selfies and photographs have more relevance and importance than actual people and experiences. Modernity, sadly, is related to nudity and profanity today, may I dare to say! Drinking and smoking are considered dope, and the ones who stay clear are bullied (most often). Boys stay boys and never want to be men, while girls become men to control themselves and the world – so they feel. As they do so, they wonder why they can’t find suitable men! There is immense pressure on everything and everyone today!
Scientists are looking for a new planet to continue life! The world is trying to move the world to someplace else! Men and women compete like rats in a race, and no one knows why! While God sits there silently witnessing all that man is doing to this world, He smiles and says, “What have you made this world to be” …
A strange world indeed we have made it to be – from withering concepts of love, happiness, satisfaction, contentment, creativity, and life at large, the world is heading towards something we are unprepared for! People have started losing that bond with one another, paving the way for AI partners! What a scary world it would be when men and women decide to get married to Artificial Intelligence so that they don’t have to deal with anything human. It has become a scary world where kids are silenced with mobile phones and are not given basic life lessons that we once understood. Imagine this advancing world in another fifty years – the fact that it looks scary and unreal proves that we need to start being more mindful of how we live in this changing world. We are responsible for imparting the good in us to society and teaching our kids the importance of staying HUMAN!
This might be a scary place to live, but it is worth the effort for a future that will remember us for what we did for the – end of the day, little efforts matter! So maybe it’s time to stop complaining and start living – the best way we can and be morally accountable for what we contribute to making this world better for us and our future generations.

Relationships are beautiful – when you share a bond with someone that knows every part of who you are, and you know someone for who they are and what they do, relationships are mutual effort and commitment from two individuals to make life better together! Relationships are partnerships – where two adults who know each other’s flaws, likes, and dislikes come together to build something worth their time and effort.
The partnership comes when two people recognize that life is hard work and intelligent work combined with understanding and acknowledging each other’s perspectives and visions. Only if you partner with your spouse will you move towards success together – hand-in-hand. Yes, fallouts and breakdowns are shared between two people – how it is handled at the end of the day is what matters.
Falling in love with someone is easy – may I dare to say? However, staying rooted in that love and building on that love is what is difficult in this fast-moving world full of people who believe true love no longer exists. Today, people are more selfish in love than in giving. People have forgotten that staying committed to that relationship takes effort and continued work. They forget that relationships are all about sharing and caring. Taking care of each other and trying to stay connected to each other’s inner selves has much to do with how successful the commitment will be. Mutual respect, appreciation, intimacy deeper than sex, absolute faith, loyalty, and good communication are all keys to healthy relationships.
The success of a relationship is not in the number of years two people have stayed together – two people can very well stay together without an iota of love left between them; well, bitter truth alert! Instead, the success of a relationship depends on how the couple talks to each other, how they resolve conflicts, how they handle finances, how they handle arguments, and how they depict themselves and each other to the outer world – outside of the relationship.
Partnering for progress is hearty in a relationship because it helps both partners work together towards achieving common goals and growing together as a couple. When both partners are committed to supporting each other’s personal growth and the growth of the relationship, they are more likely to have a successful and fulfilling relationship.
5 reasons why Partnering for Progress is essential
1. Increases Communication
Partnering for Progress encourages open and honest communication between partners. It helps to build trust, deepen understanding, and foster intimacy in the relationship.
2. Promotes Mutual Support
By working together towards shared goals, partners can provide each other with the support they need to achieve their individual and collective aspirations. In addition, it can lead to tremendous mutual respect, trust, and appreciation.
3. Strengthens the Relationship
Partnering for Progress helps partners develop a shared vision for their future, which can improve their connection and deepen their commitment to each other. When both partners are invested in each other’s success, they are more likely to weather the ups and downs of life together.
4. Encourages Growth
Partnering for Progress can also promote personal growth for each partner. By working towards goals together, partners can learn from each other’s strengths and weaknesses and develop new skills and perspectives to benefit themselves and the relationship.
5. Navigate challenges & overcome obstacles
Partnering for progress can help partners navigate and overcome obstacles. When both partners are committed to working together towards a shared goal, they are more likely to find creative solutions to problems and support each other during difficult times. This can build resilience and deepen the sense of connection and trust between partners, which can be crucial for maintaining a healthy and happy relationship over the long term.
A healthy relationship is a wholesome partnership to build a future foolproof of dilemma and confusion. It is healthy competition, hearty and wholesome thoughts for each other, healthy disagreements, and everything worldly that, at times, is confusing, but looking at each other’s eyes gives so much clarity. A healthy relationship with your partner is like holding a torchlight in the darkness – it shows you the path even when you cannot see it. It is like looking for water underground- you must keep the faith and dig deeper. It is all there lying in front of you with arms wide open – your soul knows if something is incorrect, and when things are just how they ought to be – you know!
Partnering for Progress is essential because it helps partners build a strong foundation for their relationship and work towards a shared vision for their future together. Therefore, validating one another and ensuring you relate, acknowledge, and communicate wholly is imperative. Freedom from disputes is a myth – life is an amalgam of tragedies and comedies – you have to choose how you want to respond and react to them all. Remember, it is a partnership and not a one-person army. It is teamwork and not “which is the boss here.” It is a mutual effort and not a one-sided trial-and-error method. Life is too short to experiment. Live life to the fullest – together!

Oh, don't wear that skirt.
It is provocative.
It's glittery and above your knee.
Don't buy that shirt. It's deep.
It's provocative, and 'he' will Rape you.
Oh no! It's your fault 'he' raped you.
Oh no! It's your fault 'he' continues to rape you.
Don't drape that saree. It's transparent.
Don't fold the jeans, your ankle - it's provocative.
Don't show your back, your shoulder, your arm,
Your lips, your legs, your nails, your hair:
Your charm, your ears, your eyes, your face,
Your hips, your thighs, your stinking armpits!
Your boobs and behind are not just...
Oh that's provocative.
YOU are provocative.
Don't smile. Don't laugh. Don't go out.
Don't be single. Don't party. Don't drink.
Don't smoke. Don't have friends.
Don't forget to wear a jacket,
Don't forget the dupatta,
Don't forget the leggings under the kurta.
Don't show your bra strap but
Don't look at the bright Jockey band he's wearing.
Don't walk. Don't talk. Don't bother.
You are a girl. That's provocative enough.
Don't be you. You are provocative enough.
You are provocative.
Run. You are provocative.
'They' will rape you.
Run, you are provocative. Don't get raped.

Relationships are tricky. Some find and stay in love easily, while others find it challenging to keep the boat afloat. When two entirely different individuals come together with their flaws, characteristics, personalities, likes, dislikes, and more, it is not as easy as it is shown in romcom movies to sing songs and remains in love forever! However, it is relatively easy if two people are serious about their commitment to each other and are ready to work on the bond’s intricacies.
It is essential to never take yourself or your partner for granted when in a relationship. Both of you are equal parties to whatever goes on in the commitment. Hold yourselves accountable for both the good times and the bad. Take equal responsibility for the tasks you share, finances, decision-making, chores, etc.
You deserve a healthy relationship where you both are happy and content. Communication is one of the essential criteria to remember when looking for a healthy relationship. This cliché technique of knowing and understanding each other over time is perhaps the most misunderstood. Healthy communication is when both of you can share whatever it is that is bothering you or making you happy without any judgments. Healthy conversations where you both talk about the little things like how your day was, what you did, how you feel, and what you’d like for dinner are all introductory talks. Never underestimate the relevance and power of good communication between couples.
Respect is the next factor that all couples must consider to enjoy a healthy relationship. Respecting each other, boundaries, feelings, ideas, and actions, and even prioritizing each other’s time, is crucial. Validating each other’s feelings and emotions is extremely important. Even when you disagree, there should be mutual respect and commitment to understanding what can be done next!
Boundaries often need to be more understood in romantic relationships. You and your partner will have limitations on what makes you feel safe, happy, and comfortable. You must consider each other’s boundaries and be mindful of respecting the same.
All healthy relationships rely on mutual trust and unguarded love. Your partner will love and trust you in a healthy relationship. Trust is something that is built over time. It is, therefore, imperative to validate that trust and never betray your partner. Steadfast love, affection, care, kindness, and compassion strengthen trust in the relationship.
Supporting each other, building each other’s confidence, being there for each other, and being mindful of each other’s needs and desires are critical factors in maintaining a healthy relationship. You must know to dream along with your partner. Dream big of a beautiful life that both of you enjoy being with each other. Do not be so involved and caught up in the monotony of life that you both don’t find time or energy to be nice to each other. Always make an extra effort to keep the romance burning, the marriage spiced up, and the relationship healthy. After all, it’s a combined effort and must not be one-sided.
