With school vacations on, kids have all the time to themselves and are beaming with energy. It is the time when usually parents prefer to engage them in different activity classes and workshops to ensure their day is spent well with some significant benefits.</span></div>

Kids often refuse to eat when the body is exhausted. We mothers ought to make sure that after an hour of physical activity, be it any sports or play, kids must be fed healthy food or drinks to ensure their body gets all the required nutrients that they burn during their play.

As a mother, I have had the toughest time seeing my child fall sick now and then due to low immunity. Children with weaker immune systems are often prone to seasonal infections that effects their overall growth and development. </span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 22.08px; margin-bottom: 13.33px; margin-top: 0px; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">

So every time I am cooking, I try and get him involved in small stuff like picking veggies from the fridge, washing, peeling and chopping. He enjoys doing all of it by himself. While we are busy preparing the vegetables, we discuss the various features and benefits it gives to our body. Now that he is learning all of it in science, it’s fun when he can relate to all that he has studied. Cutting salads is his favorite thing to do, and we don't mind popping in a few bites while chopping carrots, </span><span style="font-family: calibri; font-size: 14.66px; white-space: pre-wrap;">cucumber, tomato, beetroot, etc.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 22.08px; margin-bottom: 13.33px; margin-top: 0px; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">

Having a color theme helps us introduce different colors each day. So we make sure we have variety in our food, and he gets to try new food and vegetables too.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 22.08px; margin-bottom: 13.33px; margin-top: 0px; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">

As much he likes to pull the trolley and shop things from the list, he enjoys picking vegetables and fruits. Allowing them the freedom to choose what they want gives them a sense of pride, and they enjoy the whole experience. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 22.08px; margin-bottom: 13.33px; margin-top: 0px; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">

Having food items with varying shapes allows them to experiment with various forms, be it sandwiches, salad, fruits or cookies.</span></div>
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Make your own infused water</span><br />

Drinking just plain water isn't enough as they are active nonstop. Drinking infused water or letting them make their own infused water with their choice of fruits like watermelon, orange slices, mint leaves, cucumber, etc., is a great idea. My son loves to sip from the colorful bottle he carries with him to play. </span></div>

With the great variety of seasonal juicy fruits available, it's not just comfortable but also a healthy option to try with kids.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 22.08px; margin-bottom: 13.33px; margin-top: 0px; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">

<div dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 22.08px; margin-bottom: 13.33px; margin-top: 0px; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">

Camouflaging the food items in something of their choice helps increase their affinity towards the food item. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 22.08px; margin-bottom: 13.33px; margin-top: 0px; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">

Kids try and look for ways to find something to play with even while eating food. Playing fun games like a quiz or puzzles relating to the food item can keep their interest in eating and trying different food items. </span><br />

<div style="color: #454545; font-family: '.SF UI Text'; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: '.SF UI Text'; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext-bold"; font-size: 17pt; font-weight: bold;">M</span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">otherhood can be tricky and exhausting especially for new moms who are yet to learn the tricks of the trade. Yes, raising a baby constantly puts you in a place where you are questioning yourself if you are doing it right. </span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: '.SF UI Text'; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: '.SF UI Text'; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">Lack of information on the right product for babies can worsen your experience of raising a new born. One such instance I can talk of from my motherhood experience is when I saw my baby suffer of the diaper rash. I still remember the first time when I spotted a red swollen rash on my baby's bum. And it gets even worse when you treat it with a wrong product. I remember using a baby talc all over his bottoms and thighs thinking it will keep the area dry and the rash with disappear.</span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: '.SF UI Text'; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: '.SF UI Text'; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">To my surprise, the rash spread all over the diaper area and became worse by the day. And as a mother it's the most heart-breaking thing to see your little baby cry of pain. I couldn't but blame myself for not being able to treat it well before time. </span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: '.SF UI Text'; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: '.SF UI Text'; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">I am sure many of us mums out there struggle to find the best baby diaper rash cream for their babies that can protect their babies skin from rashes and also heals the </span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">faster.</span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: '.SF UI Text'; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: '.SF UI Text'; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">Before we get to the solution of a problem, let's understand the root cause.</span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: '.SF UI Text'; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: '.SF UI Text'; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext-bold"; font-size: 17pt; font-weight: bold;">What is diaper rash?</span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: '.SF UI Text'; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: '.SF UI Text'; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">A skin irritation caused at the bottoms usually anywhere in the diaper area, that might appear as a small rash or red patch on the skin at the beginning but worsens and takes form of blisters if not treated well in time. You can look out </span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">for these rashes on the buttocks, under thighs and around the torso.</span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: '.SF UI Text'; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: '.SF UI Text'; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext-bold"; font-size: 17pt; font-weight: bold;">What causes diaper rash?</span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: '.SF UI Text'; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: '.SF UI Text'; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">There could be several reasons other than the fact that baby’s skin is super sensitive and is prone to any kind of skin infections. The fact that it's referred to as diaper rash itself states its main cause. Newborn babies live in diapers be it disposable or cloth diapers. Inspite of all the care taken by diaper companies, the baby's skin is never 100 percent dry. The moisture and wetness of urine and potty are good enough reasons for a baby's irritated skin. </span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: '.SF UI Text'; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: '.SF UI Text'; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">Chemicals used in the diapers could also be a major cause of skin infection causing rashes. Some disposable diapers use dyes and perfumes other than chemicals which is again harmful to baby skin.</span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: '.SF UI Text'; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: '.SF UI Text'; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">Cloth diaper is a better option to avoid such chemical reactions with the baby skin, however sometimes negligence on the cleaning part of cloth diapers can cause skin reaction too. Also an extra care is required to be taken while using the detergent as it can harm the baby's skin as much.</span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: '.SF UI Text'; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: '.SF UI Text'; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext-bold"; font-size: 17pt; font-weight: bold;">How to treat diaper rash?</span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: '.SF UI Text'; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: '.SF UI Text'; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">The first thing after identifying the diaper rash is to treat it correctly. People often make a mistake of buying creams over the counters and applying. This may worsen the </span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">condition and a simple rash might turn into a painful infection that would require even more care and time to </span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">heal. </span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: '.SF UI Text'; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: '.SF UI Text'; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">There are several products doing the rounds in the market. With the availability of so many different creams it's tough </span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">to pick the right one for your baby. </span></div>

Caladryl is the market leader in the anti-allergy and anti-itch topical application segment. It is India’s most trusted and prescribed lotion for any kind of skin allergies and works wonders not just for kids but adults too. </span></div>

<div style="font-family: '.SF UI Text'; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">The newly launched Caladryl diaper cream for diaper rashes comes with the same expertise as the mother brand. Caladryl</span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext-bold"; font-size: 17pt; font-weight: bold;"> </span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">Diaper Cream is here to bust the myth that "diaper rash creams need to get absorbed by the skin". As per the experts "Unlike a moisturising cream which gets absorbed, a diaper rash cream needs to form a protective layer on the skin to work effectively".</span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext-bold"; font-size: 17pt; font-weight: bold;">Why Caladryl diaper cream ? </span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: '.SF UI Text'; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: '.SF UI Text'; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">1) Unlike conventional diaper creams, </span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext-bold"; font-size: 17pt; font-weight: bold;">Caladryl </span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">diaper </span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">cream acts 2 times faster to protect and soothe baby’s skin from diaper rash.</span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: '.SF UI Text'; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">2) It is dermatologically tested for sensitive skin and is gentle on baby's skin.</span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: '.SF UI Text'; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">3) It contains zinc oxide, an ingredient which is approved by the US FDA as a skin protectant and is an ideal component for diaper cream. </span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: '.SF UI Text'; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">4) Ingredients like olive oil and glycerin are mild on baby's skin and helps sooth the skin faster while keeping it soft and supple.</span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: '.SF UI Text'; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">5) Unlike a moisturising cream,</span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext-bold"; font-size: 17pt; font-weight: bold;"> Caladryl</span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"> diaper cream is specifically formulated to be a thicker cream that forms a protective layer on the skin and blocks out the wetness from urine that helps heal the rash faster.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: '.SF UI Text'; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">I completely rely on</span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext-bold"; font-size: 17pt; font-weight: bold;"> Caladryl </span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">for any sort of </span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">skin allergies be it for my child or myself. The years of experience with the mother brand has my trust and I would not think even twice before I recommend this outstanding formula to my </span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">well wishers for baby skin. The fact that it comes from a reputed brand that's been tried and tested for ages gives this product a big thumbs up.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">We are always trying to strike a right balance in life. However with increasing demands of work, home and family, one thing that we tend to neglect the most is our health, especially women. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">Thyroid disorder is a very common disorder and more women are found to be suffering from this hormonal imbalance than men worldwide. If the studies are to be believed, 1 in 10 Indian adults suffer from Thyroid disorders.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">It was a great pleasure to be a part of an event to generate</span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">awareness among people about this commonly known </span><span style="font-family: '.sfuitext'; font-size: 17pt;">disorder and bust several myths around it.</span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: '.SF UI Text'; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">The cause has been supported by a Bollywood Celebrity herself, the gorgeous Juhi Chawla. She shared a great insight on Thyroid disorder as she has seen the repercussions very closely, with her husband being one of the Thyroid patients. Dr.Shehla Shaikh gave us detailed information about the disorder, it's causes, symptoms, treatment and medication. It was commendable to see her answer all our questions patiently and clearing minutest doubts pertaining to the disorder. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">It's important to understand, Thyroid gland plays a vital role in producing Thyroid hormones that essentially effects our metabolic rate. This gland when disrupts the hormone secretion, leads to</span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">Hypothyroidism is more common than the latter one and more commonly gets ignored for its generic symptom – <a href="http://thyroidindia.com/thyroweight/" target="_blank">THYROWEIGHT</a> .</span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">Weight gain and tiredness together combines Thyroweight. It's important not to confuse </span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext-bold"; font-size: 17pt; font-weight: bold;">Thyroweight</span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"> with common weight gain problems and medical attention must be seeked to when a symptom shows up. An early detection of Thyroid disorder can </span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext-bold"; font-size: 17pt; font-weight: bold;">#ruleoutThyroweight</span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"> . It's also advisable to monitor the Thyroid level and keep a regular check as it might affect our mood, energy levels and overall health.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: '.SF UI Text'; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">Dr.Shaikh very rightly said, that we tend to ignore the </span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">signals our body gives us and find some or the other </span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">excuses to neglect the weight gain. Recognising the initial </span><span style="font-family: '.sfuitext'; font-size: 17pt;">signs and regulating the weight gain can go a long way in treating the most common health concerns women face today. Let's not ignore the fact that neglecting the same can also lead to serious cardiovascular and neurological complications if left untreated.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">The constant feeling of lethargy, fatigue, tiredness, and small weight gain are some of the visible symptoms of Thyroid disorder. The sooner we detect them, the easier life gets.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">Symptoms such as thyroweight (weight gain and toredness), change in voice, swelling on face/legs, hair loss, and constipation need to be attended to immediately with a </span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">test.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">A common test referred to as TSH (Thyroid Function Test) can help you clear your doubts of the disorder if at all you </span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">notice the above signs.

<div style="color: #454545; font-family: '.SF UI Text'; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">Studies indicate that pregnancy related hormones lead to a decrease in Thyroid hormone levels. Dr.Shaikh suggested that a Thyroid test must be done soon at the time of conception without any delay to avoid any complications to the foetus and the baby.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">Though it's a very common disorder, it comes with a stigma attached to it and there are many myths surrounding this disorder that can have a bad influence on the person suffering with it. I am glad for an interactive session with </span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">the Doctor and Juhi Chawla brought about the facts and busted several myths that are doing rounds about the disorder and especially related to </span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext-bold"; font-size: 17pt; font-weight: bold;">Thyroweight</span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">It's a complete myth that Thyroid patients with obesity cannot lose weight. Adopting a healthy lifestyle, exercising, regular walking, monitoring the timely dose of medicine can bring thyroweight under control.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">Another myth that can be traumatic for the patient is "Once you get Thyroid dysfunction, it is forever." Dr.Shehla </span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">brought out the fact that Hypothyroidism cannot be cured </span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">but it can be treated and can be completely controlled in most people. Starting your day with a pill can keep you on your feet for the rest of the day and you can live your life to the fullest.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">To own a car someday is like every child's dream. But when it comes to practically buying, it can be a tough decision for the family to settle for that one particular that suits their requirements the best. Moreover, the decision requires financial commitment over a period of time and hence needs planning and guidance. Most people buy cars on loans from banks or financial institutions, it's vital that we do enough research before we zero in on the final car of our dreams. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">Here are few factors that can be considered while making your car purchase -</span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">The Family requirement of a car might differ depending on </span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">the family size and their travel plans. A diesel car might be </span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">an expensive buy as compared to the petrol car, however, if the </span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">family requires traveling long distances, spending few extra bucks at the time of purchase might pay them in the long run.</span></div>

<div style="color: #454545; font-family: '.SF UI Text'; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">Affordability is another important factor that needs consideration. A car budget might differ for people depending on their income and expenses. Narrowing down on a list of cars that one is </span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">interested in as per the use and budget will make the purchase less tasking. A </span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">well-calculated installment plan can </span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">help choose the right car without going overboard.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">Buying an old car isn't a bad idea either provided it's done with proper testing and research to ensure the car is in a good </span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">state. Even while going for a brand new car, it's advisable to </span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">focus on the security features, engine capacity and other </span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">essential details instead of getting lured by the </span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">fancy features. Some of the adequate features to look for in your family car would be the electronic stability control, anti-lock brakes that prevent the wheels from locking and the safety controls such as motion detectors. These will </span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">ensure</span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">security for your family while on the wheels.</span><br />

<div style="color: #454545; font-family: '.SF UI Text'; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">Never consider buying a car unless you have taken it out </span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">on </span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">the roads for a test drive. Many things can only be experienced while you are at the steering wheels. Once you have checked the interior for proper leg room, seat adjustments, storage space, mirror visibility, etc. It's </span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">time to test the other controls that will help you gauge how well the car handles the bumps and the brakes and your comfort level with the features installed.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">Checking on the car insurance policies and the warranties offered by the dealer is another crucial factor that will ensure you to protect your asset in the long run. A well-negotiated deal can get you a suitable replacement for your essential parts within good five </span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">long years and some extended warranties and initial services that can go a long way in smooth functioning of your newly bought car.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">As a mother, keeping my family hale and hearty is the priority that I choose over everything else. Falling sick and succumbing to illnesses can take away all the fun and laughter that a family looks forward to enjoying together. </span></div>

<div style="color: #454545; font-family: '.SF UI Text'; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">Another thing that can be highly annoying and spoil the moment is mosquito bites. For some, these might be just a little insect with wings but for us it has always been a topic of concern. A single mosquito in the room can be quite frightening especially for my husband and son who are more prone to insect bites. From the time I have had my baby, even a sight of a mosquito around him would get me worried. Inspite of trying everything possible I would feel helpless when I would find red, sore and swollen bumps of mosquito bites over his body.</span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: '.SF UI Text'; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;">

<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">Protecting him against other illnesses like seasonal flu, cold & cough was still manageable but protecting him from mosquito bites came as the biggest challenge to me.</span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: '.SF UI Text'; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;">

<div style="color: #454545; font-family: '.SF UI Text'; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">Moreover, with the mosquito borne deseases on the rise, its although more important to escape ourselves from getting bitten by mosquitoes that can cause much more harm than expected by transferring various viruses in our blood stream. Earlier we would fear mosquito bites only during</span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">the</span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">evenings, however with the deadly diseases like Dengue and Chikungunya, any amount of mosquito prevention isn't enough.</span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"> </span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: '.SF UI Text'; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;">

<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">Staying indoors is never an option when they grow up a little and are on the move constantly. Moreover, children need to step outdoors into the fresh air for their physical growth and development. I would fear sending him outdoors as each time he would return with a big swollen itchy spot on his forehead, cheeks, hands and legs that would worsen the very next day and turn into painful blisters.</span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: '.SF UI Text'; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;">

<div style="color: #454545; font-family: '.SF UI Text'; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">Over the years of experience I realised awareness is the key. There are many ppl who aren't even aware of the facts that lead to mosquito breeding sites. For some it's not even a cause of concern but at the same time there are many who dread the mosquito bites and its effects that can lead to life threatening diseases.</span></div>

<div style="color: #454545; font-family: '.SF UI Text'; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">Taking the right preventive measures can go a long way when it comes to reducing the existence of this flying bug that can lead to most dreadful diseases than just itchy bites. The most effective way of dealing with mosquito problems is by preventing </span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">it from breeding. Here's the to do list that will help reduce mosquitoes.</span></div>

<div style="color: #454545; font-family: '.SF UI Text'; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">My childhood memories are full of beautiful moments spend with my grandparents. I still remember how we would wait for our summer vacations to begin so that we could be them. </span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: '.SF UI Text'; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;">

<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">The only place where my mom wouldn't be like a mom but more relaxed as my Nani would handle everything with lot more ease. We would love spending time with her and tell her things that even my mom wouldn't know. </span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: '.SF UI Text'; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;">

<div style="color: #454545; font-family: '.SF UI Text'; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">Today I miss my grandparents so much especially my Nani who I was very close to. Her stories were way too inspiring. She would crack us up into bits of laughter and we would laugh like friends. The only person I was comfortable being around even at very young age were my grandparents. When I had them around I wouldn't look even for my mom. Such was their love and compassion. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"><i>Today I aim for the same kind of bonding for my child too. Infact today we can do so much more than visiting them just once or twice a year which wasn't possible at our times. </i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">Today kids can be connected through phones, Skype and even give a frequent visit to surprise them which wasn't an option in those days. </span></div>

<div style="color: #454545; font-family: '.SF UI Text'; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">Kids should be taught to love and have that respect for their grandparents no matter what. It's so fulfilling to see my child bond with them and laugh with them. The immense love they get from their grandparents is incomparable and means so much more than I ever thought. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">It feels so good when you see your child's love for them even more.. I like it when my son says he loves his </span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">grandparents the most in this world. </span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">Trust me it's </span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">overwhelming to see that love and respect coming from our kids for our own parents who have been the centre of our world all our life.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">Isn't it amazing that a small gesture by my son brought such a big smile on their faces and brightened up their day. In</span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"> return he got so many blessings and happiness that is going to stay with him forever</span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">.</span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"> </span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">These little moments of happiness are to be treasured. Being the eldest in the family their word of advice and support matters a lot and we must seek their blessings at every step of life. </span></div>

<br />
<br />
In all these years of trying to empower women, we have been successful to some extent but still have a long journey to cover.<br />
<br />
Education and employment has given women a lot of freedom in terms of being independent. However I would like to take up a scenario and discuss how helpless a women can feel inspite of a good education and work experience.<br />
<br />
The concept of marriage arise from the fact that a girl, a women so called a weaker gender needs security and someone to protect her all her life.<br />
<br />
She is parents responsibility until she is married but the whole pressure of getting her married is because parents are worried about her well being once they aren't there to look after her. That security doesn't come with a job, well earned money, independence but it comes full proof with a man who is willing to hold a daughters hand and be by her side all along as her parents were.<br />
<br />
There are instances where women are doing great in their career, are self independent but parents are<br />
still worried and unhappy because she isn't married. The sense of security that comes with the word marriage cannot match up with anything else as per our society.<br />
<br />
<i><u>But rarely we realise marriage is a beginning of a new chapter in a women's life. It's not the continuation of who she is and what has she achieved. Ideally speaking a women who is educated, self independent, matured should progress in life after marriage. She is a grown individual who knows the basics of life. If the family she goes in welcomes her with open arms and accepts her for who she is and her freedom like any other adult, </u></i><i><u>she should be equally free to talk, discuss and act as anyone else. That's when it's considered a secure place and a progress to a girls life.</u></i><br />
<br />
But in reality when a girl gets married and goes in a new household, she is treated as if she knows nothing and whatever she has learnt all these years of her life is not how they wanted. It's different in their house (boys house) and that's the right way.<br />
<br />
Now, everyone looks up to the new women in the house for every single thing that needs to be done. apart from adapting to their ways, she should forget that she has any individuality. Forget what you like, learned, did and just be good at taking instructions from the mom in law especially and do exactly how she likes and you are the best daughter in law.<br />
<br />
<u><i>In simple words, just do how they say, eat what they like, wear what they want and live life their way and </i><i>believe me they aren't asking for much yet. This is expected out of every marriage and you should be ready to surrender your freedom as the first rule of marriage.</i></u><br />
<br />
Dare not complain or even say anything that might hurt their feelings. Not even jokingly. Jokes are to be taken seriously when targeted at in laws.<br />
<br />
Women if lucky gets to continue her work but that isn't counted anyway. She must ensure the<br />
household stuff, food, cooking, cleaning and other stuff is well taken care of. She must make time for all of it within her working schedule.<br />
<br />
Once she becomes a mother, she has no choice but to leave her work and look after the baby and the other responsibilities that were a part of her profile.<br />
<br />
Now, she actually becomes a super woman and within those same number of hours does double the work she did earlier. She adjusts to the increasing demand of life by cutting down on her sleep, her personal space and life.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Is that every girl grow up to become or Is this the kind of security every parent look for their daughters ??</u></b><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b>
The worst is one fine day if she decides to be bold and make life better for herself and her children, she has no where to go.<br />
<br />
<i>For instance, a woman who sacrifices everything to make the family happy. She looks after the house, the family, children and is also working hard to earn some extra bucks for the family is treated badly, not respected by the spouse and the family members she gave everything for. What choice is she left with ?</i><br />
<br />
<b><i>Either stay in a marriage that is nothing less than a hell. Suffer all her life and see kids suffering too.</i></b><br />
OR<br />
<br />
<b><i>Take a stand now to move out of this hell if not for herself, at least for the sake of her children, what choices are she left with ?? </i></b><br />
<br />
If she decides to walk out of the house,she has no place to go to. The only option she has is to go back to parents house which add to the misery of parents and the daughter herself because no daughter wants to hurt their parents and bring bad name to them.<br />
<br />
<b><u>What about the financial security? What ensures her an instant job that allows her to take care </u></b><b><u>of her children's needs of education and other expenses ?</u></b><br />
<br />
There are so many women living in hell and are dying everyday by being trapped in a bad marriage. If given a choice they would not think even twice before walking out of their disturbing marriages but do they have a choice?<br />
<br />
These women needs to be empowered and our society must have arrangements or support for these women who are stuck and depressed in their lives.<br />
<br />
It's a big decision to call for a divorce but to walk away with children without any help or support is just a big threat to the women as well as the kids.<br />
<br />
<i>A financial security along with the place to live is the least that is required for women to be able to live independently, freely, securely and continue life her way. If we really need to bring a difference in women's life this is what our government, women sanstha and society needs to provide. Else women will be left to their destiny and life would never be better.</i><br />

"It's not easy being a Mother. If it were easy, Fathers would do it"! Well the quote says it all and hence it's ok to dedicate one day to Father's Day but Mother's Day needs to be celebrated everyday !<br />
<br />
This Mother's Day, the little man in the house had already planned a surprise with the help of his dad to make his muma feel special. I was already beeming up with the gesture and love of my little one when a beautiful gift hamper from <a href="http://www.himalayawellness.com/products/himalayaformoms/index.html" target="_blank">Himalaya For Moms </a>arrived and it was like an icing on the cake.<br />
<br />
<i>I am a great fan of Ayurvedic products and It gives me immense satisfaction that these products come from a very source that has been in the market for many decades now. The trust and reliability has never been an issue with the name that's made a place for itself in almost every household. They were already ruling the hearts of mothers who rely on Himalaya products for their babies and now with their range of Himalaya for Moms, they are on the list of every mom who deserves the best.</i><br />
<br />
Here's my review of Himalaya for Moms "<b>Mother's Day Gift Hamper</b>" that had the best of products essentially designed keeping in mind the needs of a mother who needs to care for herself as much she does for others.<br />

The beautifully designed hamper was surprisingly wonderful with a collection of all things mommy. Himalaya for Moms made sure Mommies get the best when it came to pampering their ownself and what better day than Mother's Day to delight her with such goodies.<br />

With it's long lasting deep moisturising property, it nourishes and smoothens the extra dry skin and keeps the skin hydrated for long. It's non greasy creamy texture makes it perfect for a day today use. The body butter gets absorbed in the skin and leaves the skin moisturised and non oily. Mild fragrances of Jasmine, Lavender and Rose have calming effects on the body along with keeping the skin soft and supple.</span></div>

Massage on my legs after a long<br />
day felt really good and relaxing. Ingredients like 'winter cherry' and 'country mellow' works like magic and have soothing and calming effect on the mind while nourishing the body.<br />

<span style="text-align: left;">After you are done taking care of your beautiful hands it's time for a nail paint. As much I loved </span><span style="text-align: left;">painting my nails before motherhood, now I hardly even think of doing so. Not because I have any </span><span style="text-align: left;">less interest now but the fact that I usually end up having a chipped nail paint </span><span style="text-align: left;">which looks even </span>worst. More so, finding a colour that goes well with everything is another task at hand.</div>
<br />
But my search for the perfect shade just got over when I found this <a href="http://www.amazon.in/Maybelline-Color-Show-Nail-Enamel/dp/B00F94NWZW" target="_blank">Maybelline New York Color </a><a href="http://www.amazon.in/Maybelline-Color-Show-Nail-Enamel/dp/B00F94NWZW" target="_blank">Show nude skin</a><a href="http://www.amazon.in/Maybelline-Color-Show-Nail-Enamel/dp/B00F94NWZW" target="_blank"> </a> nail paint in the hamper. Nude skin shade in the color shaw range of Meybelline was just the right match for my skin. It added the salon like sheen to my nails after two coats and I just loved the glam look that every mommy deserves once in a while.<br />

Well, no celebration is complete until you are offered a sweet and therefore this pack of yummy chocolates were a very thoughtful addition to the hamper.<br />
<br />
<span id="goog_1647226777"></span><a href="https://www.facebook.com/pg/HimalayaBabyCare/" target="_blank">Himalaya for Moms</a> is<span id="goog_1647226778"></span> a range of safe, effective and gentle products specially formulated for women. The products are a result of years of scientific research and Ayurveda which effectively restores natural health and vitality of the skin.<br />
<br />
Post pregnancy women's body goes through lots of changes which needs a lot of extra care and the use of natural products away from chemicals to keep the body and skin in good condition. Himalaya's range for Moms definitely gives a boost to the mothers skin if used regularly. I have used Himalaya for Moms products before and I see a world of difference in my skin. I have also been using the soothing body butter regularly and it immidiately adds a little glow on the face if applied overnight. Though I have used all the three fragrances, Jasmine soothing body butter is my favourite with a lovely aroma.<br />
<br />
<i>Recently Himalaya for Moms also launched their digital campaign <span id="goog_104980144"></span><span id="goog_1152128009"></span><a href="http://www.himalayawellness.com/products/himalayaformoms/momsunplugged/index.html" target="_blank">#momsunplugged</a><span id="goog_1152128010"></span><span id="goog_104980145"></span> that puts the spotlight on real Moms who share heartfelt conversation about their experiences of joy, fear, guilt, apprehension, and finding a new sense of identity. These candid moments are captured by Himalaya for Moms in a series of videos that will give you a glimpse of world of motherhood with <a href="https://youtu.be/jCf_HgJpxOY" target="_blank">#momsunplugged</a></i><br />
<br />
A big thank you to Himalaya for Moms for making Mother's Day even more special for me. After all the pampering that I got during this time ... it turned out to be my best Mother's Day ever.<br />

<br />
Mothers always gets their due when it comes to giving birth to the child and nurturing them... We often end up talking about the bond that a child shares with a mother.. But today I am gonna give some credit to fathers too :))<br />
<br />
We can't deny that mothers love is the strongest and the ultimate guiding force for the child... Of course mothers gets the credit of carrying the babies, feeding and nurturing during the initial days of birth. Simply because a father dosent have much role to play he takes a backseat... still ensures the well being of the child and the mother and builds a complete support system for mother and the newborn.<br />
<br />
I sometimes wonder... There is more than a reason for a child to be attached to a mother but what is it that binds a father to a child... Isn't it miraculous that a child shares the same bond, love and comfort with the father that he shares with the mother. Of course its got to do with science and genes but certainly there is more to it.<br />
<br />
Just the way a woman is a woman until she becomes a mother... A man is a man until he becomes a father... That feeling of fatherly love, care, emotions flows in once they become a father and feels pride that the newborn is a part of him. The most loving and assuring thing is the fact 'Its my baby' makes parents just spill their heart out as kids give us identity of being parents...<br />
<br />
When I was younger and I heard someone had a baby ... I always thought ok .. cool but what's a great deal about it. Everyone has babies.... I never understood what calls for such a big celebration ... How would I ?<br />
<br />
Not just me .. No one can understand that feeling of becoming parents until they experience it themselves. Same goes with fathers.. Mothers are more expressive when it comes to cuddling and loving the baby.. Fathers have a different way of expressing their love through talks, fun and games.<br />
<br />
Child gets a sense of security from his father, his presence makes them feel strong and secure. How much ever we talk of a gender bias but one thing is true that a presence of a man beside you makes you feel stronger be it your father, your husband or your son.<br />
<br />
But fathers mere presence is not enough for the child.. Father has to work towards building that bond with the child for simple reason that child is surrounded by his mother for most of his daily needs and gets enough time and ways to bond along. Where as fathers working away from home have to take out time and spend few quality hours for the child to cherish those moments and look forward to more of it.<br />
<br />
I still remember how my world came to a still in that moment of joy when I delivered my baby... All my views, thoughts, doubts came to an end when I first held him in my arms.<br />
<br />
I couldn't believe how those beautiful twinkling eyes spoke so much with his gaze .. I just couldn't take my eyes off him. He was simply adorable to see as a newborn... I had never seen something as beautiful as this ever before.<br />
<br />
My husband held him so cautiously and his face lit up like never before. No wonder it's a different feeling to carry your own baby in your arms. Its a miraculous feeling, one can only experience it cannot express enough in words.<br />
<br />
It's such an amazing experience to see a just born baby express so much simply through his eyes, hands and leg movements... Just one simple smile can make you feel so much loved and happy..that you yearn for that one little smile all day long.<br />
<br />
It's incredible to see how a newly born knows when they are hungry, how they express their uncomfort by crying and desire to be lifted...As if God has been training them all these months..<br />
<br />
The way child expresses his desire to go in someone's arm and refuses to stay in some is again unexplainable. How they recognise the touch and warmth of their parents is amusing .. As if they already share a bond with them. Wow ! I just find these little things so amazing.<br />
<br />
How his face lights up to see his dad around and his eagerness to go in his arms speaks volumes about how much he long to be with his father. I can clearly see when he misses him while he is away and jumps with joy mere at the mention of his name.<br />
<br />
fathers have a heart to heart connection with the child, They unknowingly teach a responsibility, ethics, how to live life and be tough like a man and lot more to a child that they aspire to become just like their fathers.<br />
<br />
They are the biggest role models for their children as they might not teach them the way to live life but set an example for them by leading a life they might desire.<br />
<br />
I feel blessed to have a husband who turned out to be an even better father. He has always been there and been equally involved as a parent as much as I do. Yeah! There have been times when he couldn't be by my side due to time constraints and work responsibilities but he has always taken care of our needs and desires even while away. And only we know how much he wants to be around us and miss his family as much we miss him while he is away.<br />
<br />
Fathers need to be appreciated as much as mothers do and hence this post is dedicated to all the dads in the world, who are heroes in the eyes of their sons and daughters and even their wives.<br />

As a kid did you ever wish to explore the world? If yes how many of us would have got lucky to be able to do so.<br />
<br />
Travelling is fun, it's indeed the best form of learning however it isn't practically possible to travel every existing country. But when it comes to kids and their global exposure we don't want our kids to lag behind either. So what's the easiest possible way out?<br />
<br />
How about if I say you have a choice of exploring the world sitting within the comforts of your beautiful home and keeping your kids engaged at the same time with some fun learning and play. Sounds interesting isn't it!<br />
<br />
Yes I am about to share something that will not only satisfy your desires of travelling the world but will also provide you a hands on experience of living those moments as a traveler.<br />
<br />
I have tried many activity boxes for my child but believe me the concept of exposing kids to different countries caught my eye. This is definitely a brilliant way for kids to explore the world and get them to learn as they play. ..<br />
<br />
So when I decided to collaborate with the <a href="http://www.globetrottersbox.com/" target="_blank">Globe Trotters Box</a> to review their product, They send us a box of our choice that we picked from the rest. Though my boy had a tough time picking one, he was too excited to see them all but we decided to go with Australia for now.<br />
<br />
<br />
"<a href="http://www.globetrottersbox.com/" target="_blank">Globe Trotters</a>" as the name suggests takes your child on a journey around the world through their uniquely designed activity box.. which is a great way to introduce children to different countries in the world.<br />
<br />
<br />
So here we go on an adventurous journey through the <a href="http://www.globetrottersbox.com/monthly-subscription.html" target="_blank">Australia Box</a> that arrived at our doorstep.<br />

This time he jumped even higher to see the very well placed postcard, welcome letter and a passport right beneath. Well I wasn't surprised as I myself was equally thrilled to see a old styled vintage letter welcoming us to Australia. Addressed by the Globe Trotters mascot<a href="http://www.globetrottersbox.com/moozoos" target="_blank"> Moozoos</a> Oyo,Wak and Zu the letter shared information about the country and also a brief of activities that we can look forward to doing in the box.<br />

<i>Looking at the contents of the box I can clearly feel the amount of time and thinking that must have gone in designing the box.

To begin with we learned the natives of Australia are called '<i>Aboriginal</i>' who have been living there for thousands of years. Boomerang is the weapon used by these native people to hunt animals, whereas it's also used to decorate using colourful dots and patterns that specifically referred to as '<i>Aboriginal art'</i>.<br />

<b><u>Aboriginal Symbol Sudoku Puzzle</u></b><br />
<br />
These symbols are used by natives of Australia to tell a story of their culture. Each symbol has a meaning and can easily convey a message if used correctly.<br />
<br />

The activity needed us to stick the symbol stickers on each wooden piece and than solve the different patterns of sudoku puzzles given in the book.<br />

<b> <u>My Review</u></b><br />
<u></u><br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>I personally loved the box and more so the concept behind to expose kids to different cultures and countries in the world</li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>A very well planned and designed keeping in mind the basics like a welcome letter, a passport makes a great impression on the child who feels important and it gives a real feel to the whole idea.</li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>The premium sized world map along with the country map is the perfect way to get kids interested in geography and map reading that eventually helps them learn and locate various countries and continents on the map.</li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Activities are designed keeping in mind the different aspects of the child's imagination and learning, focusing on areas like art, craft, DIY and number puzzles that enhances creativity, fine motor skills, imagination, memory building and most importantly learning about the world.</li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Activities are child friendly and age specific that can be done independently except at some places where parents might want to join in the journey and encourage the child in their creative ways.</li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>The box provides all the material that's required for the activities included along with easy instructions followed by pictures stepwise for child's understanding.</li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>As far as the learning goes, the country specific details helps the child to visualise the country, its culture and people. It gets the child interested in learning more about the country and surrounding places.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<i>I definitely recommend this activity box to parents who are looking for something different from the regular activity boxes. It's a complete new idea that promises loads of fun and learning.</i><br />
<i></i><br />
In fact, I myself would like to explore the other countries along with my child cause we had super fun while touring Australia.<br />

<b><u>Review</u></b><br />
<br />
"<a href="http://www.amazon.in/UNNS-Captivation-Sapan-Saxena/dp/9385783874" target="_blank">Unns- the Captivation</a>" is a beautifully written tale of love and betrayal. Being just the second book of the author, I felt the book is a perfect combination of romance, drama, suspense that offers its readers a thrilling experience. The cover of the book is very well designed by Ajitabha Bose. I personally felt the cover is very captivating and catches readers attention immediately. The name of the chapters got me confused initially, However after reading the book it made complete sense and felt appropriate. The seven stages of love got me thinking too.. I had never heard of those stages but after reading the book, I liked the writers approach towards the in depth emotions of love and its way of expression.<br />
<br />
The only thing that confused me about this story was the vague endings and the beginnings of the scenes. Few grammatical glitches could have been avoided looking at the good language of the book. Author has tried to bring an effect of a cinema through his narration however it fails to express the desired result especially while narrating the Raw mission.<br />
<br />
Overall, it's a great story for anyone who likes romantic thrillers and contemporary fiction. It will definitely make for a great read for youngsters, couples or anyone who believes in love.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><u>Quotes </u></b><b><u>from the book </u></b><br />
<br />
“If the intent is right, why waste time thinking about the consequences.”<br />
<br />
“You have been the summary of my entire existence; my biggest weakness, my greatest strength. The weathers of my life start and end with you. You complete me.”<br />
<br />
“Sometimes, it’s worth living the dreams, tasks, hopes or ambitions of the people you love, however unjustifiable or stupid they may sound. Sometimes, it’s worth completing what they stood up for. That is the best gift you can give to the people you love."<br />
<br />
“That girl who doesn’t even understand my language properly, understands my heart, but the one who should, doesn’t even try”<br />
<br />
“I never thought of a future without you. That was the reason I always lived in the present, hoping I would find you someday.”<br />
<br />
<br />

" <i><u><b>I am gonna pick up the pieces & build a LEGO HOUSE if things go wrong we can knock it down.</b></u></i>"</div>
<br />
Well this is the best part about <a href="https://www.lego.com/" target="_blank">LEGOs</a>. It provides unlimited ways of exploring child's imagination. With a huge variety of plastic bricks available in myriad of colours, it can be assembled to create almost anything that one can imagine. From cars, planes, castles, buildings, superheroes, police to anything possibly one can imagine.<br />
<br />
Since the time my little one has explored the world of <a href="https://www.lego.com/" target="_blank">LEGOs</a>... all he wants is to create bigger and better. The more challenging it gets the better he enjoys.<br />
<br />
<i><b>Legos not only allow kids to bring their imaginations into play but also has many educational benefits. Kids learn to work with instructions in a constructive manner. Assembling the pieces through stacking and interlocking helps improve their critical thinking, attention to detail, organisation skills and motor skills enhancing their creativity.</b></i><br />
<br />
Legos worldwide acceptance and favouritism is due to its high product quality. The way every Lego piece (brick, gear, figures) is designed speaks of nothing but perfection. The smooth finish and the final look of the product makes it worth all the hard work that goes in putting the pieces together. Hence it's appropriate to say that #LegoBuildAmazing build creative kids with Lego bricks.<br />

It's another exciting day at work for <a href="https://www.lego.com/en-us/city" target="_blank">LEGO City</a> police while they take on their bikes and speed after a tow truck to track down the crooks and recover the safe. The journey of daring police officers while they chase the robber to arrest and put behind bars can be lived through this <a href="https://www.lego.com/en-us/city" target="_blank">LEGO City</a> construction play.<br />
<br />
<br />
In fact the vehicles like tow truck and bikes are favourites among children especially boys. This goes as an advantage with this product as it contains some of the kids favourite vehicles and figures too.<br />

<br />
I personally loved the theme of this product. Kids love to play real life games and being a police is like every child's dream. My child is a big fan of such role plays where his imagination and dreams come to become reality through games. My child has always been very fond of police and after seeing this LEGO City set, he was totally thrilled and couldn't wait to explore the fun and the excitement.<br />
<br />
Priced at 1749/- this <a href="http://www.amazon.in/Lego-Truck-Trouble-Multi-Color/dp/B01J41G4E6" target="_blank">Police Tow Truck Trouble</a> is a good buy for a 5 -7 yr old but isn't the best choice for children aged 7 -12 yrs as mentioned on the box.<br />
<br />
I felt the level was a bit too easy for even a seven year old. However my view of the difficulty level is based on the skill sets of my son. Since he has successfully assembled the much difficult and bigger Lego city sets prior to this one, I felt this was a bit too easy for him and it took him hardly an hour assembling all the parts.<br />
<br />
I recommend this for kids who have just started out with Lego making and wants to explore a little bigger and better product with an interesting theme.<br />
<br />
The above Lego City set "Police Tow Truck Trouble" can be bought online from <a href="http://www.amazon.in/b?node=5745673031" target="_blank">Amazon India</a>.</div>

<br />
<b><u>Theme</u></b><br />
<br />
The book is a sincere effort by the author to surface the harsh realities of our country. Through his book "<a href="http://www.saharasribooks.in/book2/home.html" target="_blank">Think with Me</a>" he makes an honest attempt to reach the roots of the issues that are bigger than it seems and provides a solution that can help our nation become an ideal one.<br />
<br />
The book has been categorically written to emphasise on the major fundamental issues that our country is facing today. Author believes these fundamental problems, if not taken seriously will lead to a national crisis of unimaginable proportion.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Plot</u></b><br />
<br />
Author has presented five fundamental issues that we are facing in India today. The book is divided into 5 portions focusing on each issue at length. Electoral and Leadership being the first and foremost issue that needs amendments. Likewise the other issues that are eating up our country are population, education system, media and religion.<br />
<br />
<i>Author tries to give an explanatory view on some of the questions that's been haunting us as citizens for many generations. <b>Where did we go wrong? What happened to the honest Leaders with ethical values we had before independence, whose struggle for freedom was selfless and not a personal motive? Why is our education system so hollow inspite of our rich knowledge resource from ancient India?</b></i><br />
<br />
The concept of morality and immorality is very well explained by dividing human emotional sphere into I, My, We, We All and Us. According to him there is a need to widen our emotional sphere in order to serve the mankind and bring an overall change in the society.<br />
<br />
Author's willingness to bring the change isn't over with the writing of the book, he is open to feedback and suggestions from the people of India and also agrees to provide elaborate plan on each issue to the government if needed. His humble appeal to share views, questions or even disagreements speaks volumes about his genuine efforts towards making India an ideal country.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><u>Review</u></b><br />
<br />
The book has an appealing title and a decent cover page without making it look too loud. The book is truly inspiring and it invokes a desire in a reader to be able to bring the change for a better life and a better country. Author's writing style is very simple and uncluttered. It's thought provoking and I related to every issue and the agenda that has been brought about by the author. I completely agree that with the loopholes in the system and weak authorities we will reach no where inspite of our rich knowledge resource from the old days.<br />
<br />
I would recommend politicians and people in power to read this book and reinforce the ideas discussed in the book. Much can be achieved by strengthening our education and political system. The book definitely is a complete food for thought.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Some references from the book that keeps you thinking!</u></b><br />
<br />
"Why couldn't we teach people occupying places of responsibility that rights are given to perform genuine duties, not to serve your personal whims, false ego and greed?"<br />
<br />
"Our population is flourishing on poor qualifications and low merits. It means we are being defeated in terms of qualitative workforce. This is the biggest reason for our downfall."<br />
<br />
"Another worrisome aspect of education or literacy is the lack of good quality teachers. India is short of 12 lac teachers to provide quality education at primary level."<br />
<br />
<br />

<i><b>When was the last time you really felt "It's a matter of pride to be called as an Indian"?</b></i><br />
<br />
We always like to ape western culture, their style thinking they are superior than us. A thought of lagging behind that has creeped in for generations needs a new outlook today.<br />
<br />
Times have changed, India has made its mark on the global calendar in terms of technology, world politics, art and cinema, infrastructure and sports.<br />

<i><b><u>The above TVC by <a href="https://www.facebook.com/LufthansaIndia/" target="_blank">Lufthansa</a> with a tagline "<a href="http://bit.ly/2oQTj8q" target="_blank">More Indian Than You Think</a>" speaks volumes about Indians and expresses how a heartfelt connection is the only way to win over an Indian. The world is celebrating India, our culture, the values and are being threatened by our centuries old legacy that we carry with us wherever we go as an Indian.</u></b></i><br />
<br />
The Indian heritage has so much to offer to the world through its enriching knowledge, The epics from Indian Mythology like Mahabharata and Ramayana teaches us the life lessons of kindness, morality, love and sacrifice.<br />
<br />
Indians have these values imbibed in them from the very beginning. However modern we might turn but we would never part ourselves from our identity of being an Indian and that's what makes us unique. India has always been a place of inspiration for foreign countries too. Be it our spiritual belief, our heritage, Ayurveda (the ancient medical science) our diverse music and dance, everything has inspired the western countries so much so that they want to adapt our ways of living to experience the fulfilling life.<br />
<br />
<u>Today India's global presence can be felt worldwide. People are well aware of the richness and the goodness our country has to offer. They appreciate the warmth, the ready to help nature, the welcoming approach that comes from our belief "<b>Atithi Devo Bhav"</b>. </u><br />

<br />
<br />
Success doesn't come with money, it comes with the satisfaction of being able to help others. Today I feel so grateful to my parents who instilled those values in me that not only teach us how to be happy but teaches us a bigger lesson of life where we can deal with any amount of pressure, negativity, failure and still come as a winner.<br />
<br />
Indians have the ability to fight the worst... they can accommodate themselves in any given situation, have faith in the supreme power that keeps them going.<br />
<br />
We have seen the best and the worst too. We aren't blind to the realities of life and that's what makes us strong, giving, compassionate and loving towards others.<br />
<br />
<i><b>"</b>There have been many instances where I have felt being an Indian has helped me deal with situations like non other. West live with rules. They cannot tolerate if a rule is broken even for the smallest of things like breaking a queue... how ever I feel our flexibility to be able to adapt to situations come in handy and we don't get bothered to break simple rules for someone's benefit.<b>"</b></i><br />
<br />
They are stringent with their laws, we are more understanding and forgiving when it comes to a question of someone's life and death.<br />
<br />
They go by the book, whereas we weigh the situation emotionally too.<br />
<br />
We have reached the skies and made a mark with our scientific achievements but Indian soil keeps us grounded.<br />
<br />
<i><b>We might have traveled the world and lived in the best of places but nothing gives us the pleasure of being among the people we love. We crave to be with our parents and family on the festivals like, Eid, Holi and Diwali. Even the best of holiday destinations can not give the excitement of being with the family.</b></i><br />
<br />
<i><b>We might have eaten the best of dishes in the best of hotels but nothing can beat "Maa ke hath ka Khana" (Home cooked food).</b></i><br />
<br />
That's the kind of love, care, respect and values we grow with. Parents mean the world to us and their blessings are what we pray for.<br />

"<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Finding-Juliet-Toffee/dp/9382665854" target="_blank">Finding Juliet</a>" is a realistic fiction that identifies with the lives of youngsters in modern times. The genre of the book is a mix of romance and erotica. The story looks inspired by the no strings attached kind of relationships that doesn't carry any emotional baggage and is merely a series of sex encounters.<br />

<br />
Anjali is another very important character in the story who is Arjun's childhood friend and always stands by him no matter what.<br />
<b><br /></b>

<b> <u>Review</u></b><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b>I must admit "Don't judge the book by its cover" doesn't hold true for "<a href="http://www.amazon.in/Finding-Juliet-Toffee/dp/9382665854" target="_blank">Finding Juliet"</a> . The book has a nice colourful and catchy cover that sends a happy and positive vibe about the story. In fact I decided to read it at the very first instant I saw the cover.<br />
<br />
The story line is good and pretty much justifies the characters that comes along as it progresses. Author writes through a perspective of young and vulnerable who gets in the journey of love and lust at a age when love is difficult to find and lust is purely enticing, however he ends the book with a message for youngsters to realise the secret to happiness lies in fulfilling the soul not ego.<br />
<br />
The narration of the scenes and the pace of the story is good to keep the readers engaged.... However I felt the author goes a little over board with the sex escapades and the repetitive description of girls in stereotypical manner got me bored after a while.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.amazon.in/Finding-Juliet-Toffee/dp/9382665854" target="_blank">Finding Juliet</a> is an entertaining book for young readers looking for romance. For someone like me who likes romance with substance, the book didn't really had much to offer. I failed to connect with the characters personally. The authors pre conceived notions of girls and and few statements like " women, if dealt with deftly can be your greatest source of pleasure" were a put off. The writing style is simple and will make for a good read for youngsters looking for a mix of soft romance, friendship and lust that is very much relatable at their age.<br />

<u><b>Quotes & One liners from the book</b></u><br />
<br />
* Problems in your life are like the weights in the gym. You can either get weighed down by them or turn them to your advantage and become stronger.<br />
<br />
* I am fine is the most popular lie ever told.<br />
<br />
* Of all the lies she told me, "I love you was the sweetest".<br />

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
We might have conquered the world when it comes to technology but we are surely failures when it comes to humanity..<br />
<br />
The number of lives that we have lost in the last few months due to scarcity of water, the basic need of a human life can't be justified whatsoever .. It's devastating to read farmers and villagers dying of thirst but not some incurable disease .. I don't think it can ever become worst than this.<br />
<br />

<br />
It's been centuries mankind has come into existence and surprisingly we have come a long way with our science and knowledge. World has developed nuclear weapons, found cures to diseases like cancers but when it comes to fulfilling the very basic need of a human life, We are speechless and tongue tied.<br />
<br />
Isn't it hypocracy to celebrate 66yrs of independence when most parts of the nation are struggling for a drop of water. Farmers are suiciding because our government has failed to provide them with the right of drinking water for their basic needs. How ridiculous and shameful can it get beyond this.<br />
<br />
The times have gone when we prayed to God of Rain and completely depended on nature for our basic needs. We have ways to preserve our natural resources and produce water through artificial rain .. However the power hungry haven't learnt their lessons when it comes to saving it at the time of crisis.<br />
<br />
There are countries who yearn for water all year long and struggle to survive. The years of living for people in dry lands is not dependent on anything else but how long their need of water is satisfied. They don't strive to stay healthy .. They strive to get enough water to survive. They don't have a choice of a bisleri or a better brand of filtered water.. They try and filter a few drops of water from a mud ...<br />

<b>By 2025, there will be 1 billion more mouths to feed .. Are we ready for it yet ?</b><br />
<br />
It's unfortunate that water is considered an infinitely available resource and is wasted more than its used.<br />
<br />
It's sad to see people at different lands have completely different needs and dreams. We have scientists trying to reach out to the moon and the Mars in search of life and water... Wish they cared a little of those lives who die everyday in search of few drops to satisfy their thirst and live a few more nights.<br />
<br />
Wish science had an answer to these poor people's needs of survival. We have been successful in fulfilling our big dreams of launching rockets to the moon and beyond .. But has anyone looked closely in the eyes of these poor whose dreams are nothing but to get a handful of water without a struggle.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>What is the basis of human success? </b>It's totally unacceptable to see humans need to survive has become more than a struggle while there are few living lavishly under the rich and famous.<br />

When it comes to keeping our kids engaged, we oflten fall short of ideas. TV and gadgets are the easy way outs to keep them quite and busy for long and we often give in to their demands until we have something really interesting to keep their attention away from digital entertainment. These days when kids seem to lose touch with creativity, brands have gone wiser and they aren't designing products for brands but for people interacting with them. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
Like Scott Bedburry said, "<b><i>A brand is a story that is always being told</i></b>" stands so true for <a href="http://www.colgate.co.in/en/in/oc" target="_blank">Colgate</a>, check it out for yourself through this video -<br />

Few days back when I received this colgate pack of three from <a href="http://www.blogadda.com/" target="_blank">BlogAdda</a> for an activity called #ColgateMagicalStories I found the concept interesting and surely engaging for kids. Children usually find such stuff intriguing as it offers some kind of surprise along with the product. My little one was thrilled at the sight of the pack and started to unveil the pack curiously. No not because he is fond of brushing but because every pack came up with some kind of adventurous space characters that needed to be told in a form of a story. No doubts children are best at telling stories and using their imaginations in the most unique fashion.<br />

As he opened the packs one after the other, I could see the excitement! His imaginations had already begun to explore the space adventure with Astronauts,UFO, Aliens, Spacecraft and much more.<br />
<br />

He immidiately related this space adventure to his favourite TV show "Miles From Tomorrowland" that he catches on Disney Junior. Soon he began to collect all the pieces and started to weave his magical story. Here is goes ....<br />

There were these two friends named 'Juno' and 'Mike' who were astronauts. One evening while Juno was returning home from Mike's house, a sudden noise and lightening💥in the sky caught his attention and he soon realised it was a spaceship. Without wasting any time he turned back and quickly got back to Mike's house and shared a cause of his worry. With in minutes they realised that this is an aliens 👽 spaceship and they are definitely here for a mission. They quickly informed the Spacecenter about this suspicious spaceship 🚀 and put everyone on Alert 🚨.</div>

Within an hour they started to leave for the spacecenter to prepare themselves against any unforeseen incident that could cause damage to them and people around. But by now the spaceship was taking a turn to go back to the space. This appeared as though aliens 👽 have something on their mind and they only wanted to test the waters from far before they could do any damage to people on earth.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Since Juno and Mike were all determined to leave no stones unturned. They called for an urgent meeting with their fellow astronauts and began to plan an urgent travel to space 🚀 tonight and figure out the suspicious 😒 activity by aliens.</div>

<span style="text-align: left;">It was 8'O clock in the evening. Juno and Mike were all set to leave,</span><span style="text-align: left;"> dressed in their space suits. They soon launched a space shuttle🚀</span><span style="text-align: left;">that could spy on any menacing </span><span style="text-align: left;">activity </span><span style="text-align: left;">in the space and signal the space</span><span style="text-align: left;">station about it. While Juno left seperatly in his spacecraft. Mike accompanied another colleague of his named Shelby in the space-</span><span style="text-align: left;">shuttle. As they were nearing the space they saw a bright flash⚡️and a huge smoke🌪erupt at a distance from them, it was nothing else but a meteor that could have caused huge devastation to their space-craft. They soon began to move in a different direction trying to escape from the effects of the meteor. However a huge piece strikes the window pan of the spacecraft like a bullet causing </span><span style="text-align: left;">fear and discomfort. Juno immidiately pulls </span><span style="text-align: left;">the window shield up to escape an </span>further damage to the craft 🚀as well as him.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mike took a different trajectory and was nearing landing on space 🚀 keeping his cameras 🎥 monitoring from all directions. After they had a safe landing they were just relaxed and started to chat </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
among themselves.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: left;">It was almost midnight and they began to feel tired and </span><span style="text-align: left;">drowsy. Mike was fast asleep 😴 when Shelby woke up with a sudden noise on her screen 📺. She looked around and felt some movement around their spaceship. She went closer </span><span style="text-align: left;">to the computer screen trying to look </span><span style="text-align: left;">through the cameras and caught a sight of a creature that was moving towards them. She quickly alarmed Mike and coordinated </span><span style="text-align: left;">with Juno to inform him of the strange movement. They watched for a while and then they began to shoot as they saw it nearing the spaceship. They were weaponed </span><span style="text-align: left;">too. Within no time there appeared a large no. of those creatures and all </span><span style="text-align: left;">of them firing towards the spaceship. Juno was in constant touch with the situation and he arrived from behind and started to attack them too.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
They successfully destroyed them all but it wasn't over yet. They were sure these aliens 👽 are hiding somewhere in the space and they need to be dealt with. While they were still trying to gauge their exact location, they saw a small spaceship going away far in the space 🚀 they began to move in that direction and soon they were very close to them. They tried to initiate a conversation with them but Aliens straightaway refused and said "Humans are our biggest enimies on Earth 🌏 " Only if we destroy them we will be able to have peace in space 🌕</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Shelby was listening to all the tension that was brewing up among Aliens 👽 and them. She barged in and said human beings 👱🏼would do no harm to you if you help us find an other planet that has life on it. We assure you if you help us in our mission, we will be committed to keep our promise of not doing any harm and in fact we can both have life together on the new planet. We can all stay happily. You can help us make the new planet even better than earth 🌏with your powers and our knowledge.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Something clicked to one of the heads in their group, who overheard the idea. He ordered all the Aliens 👽to step back and agreed to help.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The whole team of aliens were taken a back with their masters decision but they had no choice but to abide by his words. Shelby, Mike and Juno were more than happy to see their mission of years coming true with the help of Aliens.</div>

They began to travel as one team this time and after a travel of hundreds of miles they landed on a planet that was similar to earth and had small patches of water 💦 and sunlight ☀️on it. They jumped with joy. Juno quickly took out the flag 🇮🇳 from his spacecraft and ran towards a huge rock to hoist the flag ⛳️ expressing the achievement and completion of their mission. Aliens looked surprised to see a piece of clothing hanging in air but didn't take long to realise its a celebration 🎉 of their win together.</div>

<span style="text-align: left;"><u>A tale of love and redemption "A walk in the rain" takes its readers through a journey of romance and action packed thriller which is no less than a film experience. Though the title and the book cover gives a very pleasant and romantic feel, it would actually surprise you as the story unfolds.</u></span></div>
<br />
<br />
Surya alias 'Sunny' was a lonely, timid boy who lives a reclusive life. Fear of rejection and low self esteem restricted him to solitude. His world of imagination and memories from past was the only doorway to his happiness where he seek peace and pleasure.<br />
<br />
On the other hand Sandhya alias 'Sandy' is a bubbly girl, full of life who befriends Sunny but leaves him unannounced.<br />
<br />
Saloni is bold and an intelligent girl. Circumstances force her into the trade of flesh but she still tries to hold on to her values, dignity and self respect regardless of her profession of prostitution.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Sunny was a loner due to his deserted childhood. Sandy came as a ray of sunshine in his life but soon he was left heartbroken as she leaves unannounced. Sunny's 14 yr old heart had endured lot of grief, but the departure of Sandy was unbearable for him and the shock pulled him back to emotional hibernation.<br />
<br />
<br />
While Sunny was still trying to come to terms with the depart of the only person he ever loved. Imran, his friend makes a surprise visit on his birthday and promises to change his life for good but least did he know that his spoken words "tonight's going to be the life changing night for you" will soon turn into an ugly reality. Imran gets killed that night and vengeance becomes the only mission of Sunny' life. Misogynist Sunny hated even the sight of the prostitute Saloni who he thought was the reason for his bad fate but she agrees to help him in exchange of money.<br />
<br />
This sets the two on the journey of life and death. Will they survive or perish in the pursuit of vengeance? Both are bound to a common goal with different motives, but destiny has its own motive.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
A walk in the rain is an intricate tale of intense emotions which keeps you guessing with each twist and turn. I felt the elaborate narration of the action sequences and characters involved bored me a bit.<br />
The book makes a good read for young readers who enjoy reading relationship drama, romantic adventures or action thrillers.<br />
<br />
Being a debut author Udai Yadla has done a great work with his simple way of writing. He keeps the story moving with engaging characters and beautifully brings out the intense emotions of love, pain and hatred. My reading experience would have been more enjoyable if the story didn't move back and forth (in past and future) every now and than as I felt it interrupted the flow a few times leaving me confused as a reader.<br />
<br />
My overall experience of reading and reviewing '<a href="http://www.amazon.in/Walk-Rain-Udai-Yadla/dp/9381841543" target="_blank">A walk in the rain'</a> was good and I am glad I chose a book by a debut author for my debut book review from watermelon.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Quotes from the book</u></b><br />
<br />
"<i>People may not be strong enough to resist the fate, but it is the test of character to retain the quintessential purity of soul. Don't be hasty to judge people with their appearance, profession, association or for that matter any incidents that convict them.... For, first look can be deceiving"</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>"Separation is the most painful test to measure the sustainability of love"</i><br />
<div>
<br /></div>
I found the above quotes very inspiring and meaningful as it very much relates to our real life situations.<br />
<br />
<b><u>About the Author</u></b><br />
<br />
Udai Yadla is a writer by Passion, Mechanical engineer by education and Software engineer by Proffession. He has been associated with TCS (Tata Consultancy Services) for over 10 years and has been nominated for Forbes India Celebrity 100 list for year 2015.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLj9kGibWqIMxIWUVkY4HcozUFt3BuewEVky9iFRhwZlUkxeCBJ_w6D2Drkkbj_xQ6ZCpd4TYhTU2oO05M3r8wKgAbsJgSrJhSYw_rV75CBOHB-bLbldY38mJV3zF6ZmA0xrJutYQh-yw/s1600/IMG_1535.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="text-align: left;"><br />Painting a house can be a tedious, dirty and a massive task with a big investment of ones time and money. However a feeling of giving your house a face lift can be equally exciting as the end result is always refreshing and rewarding minus the nuisance that one has to go through during the process of house getting painted.</span></a></div>
<br />
People put in whole lot of time, money and energy to buy their dream homes, But when it comes to repainting the house the whole idea of time consumption and the mess during the process puts them off.<br />
<br />
With changing mindsets and lifestyles, people want everything instant and hassle free. Painting a house should not get into a way of life.<br />
<br />
Gone are the days when people painted their houses once in 5 years or even longer and that too just a touch up from the exteriors would suffice the need during Diwali.<br />
<br />
I still remember how every Diwali my parents would barely touch up on the outside walls to give it a clean look but postpone the idea of doing the entire house to the following year... of course trying to avoid all the hassle that comes along with the dirty job of painting a house.<br />
<br />
Painting the walls can go a long way in breaking the monotony of look and feel of the house other than adding longevity to the house. <b><i>But is it all worth the time and money with the house looking like a site for almost until it's completely done?</i></b><br />
<b><i><br /></i></b>

<br />
Couple of days back I attended an event by <a href="http://indiblogger.in/" target="_blank">Indiblogger</a> where I got introduced to <a href="https://www.bergerpaints.com/express-painting/?utm_source=mommysdelight2blog&utm_campaign=mumbai-blogger-meet&utm_medium=referral" target="_blank">Berger Express Painting</a> system. It's a revolutionary concept of painting homes with the help of automatic machines changed the way I looked at painting. <b>Mr. Chandranath Banerjee, from Berger Paint India, said " <a href="https://www.bergerpaints.com/express-painting/?utm_source=mommysdelight2blog&utm_campaign=mumbai-blogger-meet&utm_medium=referral" target="_blank">Express Painting</a> gives faster, cleaner and better results as compared to the traditional manual process of painting".</b> According to him people invest lakhs and crores of money to buy their dream homes and it doesn't take more than a percent of that money to get the house repainted, which isn't much on the budget however whole concept of dust, stains, mess leaves the residents with no choice but to avoid it.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
With a service like <a href="https://www.bergerpaints.com/express-painting/?utm_source=mommysdelight2blog&utm_campaign=mumbai-blogger-meet&utm_medium=referral" target="_blank">Berger Express Painting</a> one can sit back and relax while the professionally trained painters and high speed tools does the job of painting the entire house in almost half the time in a dust free manner while taking care of the household stuff, furnitures and everything else ensuring nothing gets stained, dusty or dirty thus ensuring comfort and convinnience to the customer.<br />
<br />
<br />
Now a days when it comes to painting, people don't go the traditional way and pick the most basic colors for the walls. They like to experiment with colors and give a nice bright appeal to the house that reflects their personality and matches the decor of the room. The concept of painting is no longer just a cleaning regime it's about who you are and with the help of <a href="https://www.bergerpaints.com/?utm_source=mommysdelight2blog&utm_campaign=mumbai-blogger-meet&utm_medium=referral" target="_blank">Berger Paint</a>s one can have a naturally beautiful homes.<br />

As always IndiBlogger's meets have something nice and unique to offer its bloggers. Loads of fun madness and interaction is what keeps the spirits high and this #BergerXP meet was no exception to it.<br />

We were soon introduced to <b>Mr. Chandranath </b>who<b> </b>took us through an interesting presentation and brought about some great facts of how the company came into existence and within no time made a mark in the industry by reaching among the top ten painting companies in India. According to him it took almost a research of three years before they launched this idea of express painting that serves the purpose of faster, cleaner and better.<br />
<br />
<b><i>During their research, they came to an understanding that people fear the mess and time consumtion that goes into painting. In today's fast paced life when time is the biggest constraint people needed a solution that's quick and hasslefree. BergerXP works on this mantra Faster, </i></b><b><i>Cleaner and better that says it all.</i></b><br />

We had a hands on experience of sanding and painting through the activities that were organised keeping in mind the relevance to brand <a href="https://twitter.com/mann_ronnie/status/830340044737146880" target="_blank">#BergerXP</a>.<br />
<br />
<br />
We actually realised how much of dust and allergy sanding can cause in a span of few seconds. We were also made to experiment with the colors of BergerXP which was easy to pour and mix in order to get the desired shade. The paint had no odour as its usually felt while using regular paints.<br />
<br />
We made the most of these colors and our imagination and came out with nothing less than a masterpiece. Take a look at these paintings that speaks volumes about our experience with<br />

With an ongoing holiday season and the debut of 2017... there is ample of cheer, laughter, positivity, fun and hope in the air with everyone looking forward to a new beginning and a year full of hopes and surprises...<br />
<div>
<br />
While we look ahead to the new beginning there has been some great moments of joy and excitement in the past year that can't be left unshared.<br />
<br />
Holidays are the perfect time to create moments with the family and loved ones. With Christmas began all the fun and what better time for kids to wish for their greatest possession and see them getting fulfilled through Santa. Decorating trees with Christmas decorations, wearing santa caps and writing letters to Santa are some amazing ways for kids to get involved in the festival. The glittering site of beautifully decorated streets, malls, houses with the Christmas theme is just impossible to resist.<br />
<br />
I so look forward to taking my child to various places where he can enjoy the festivity of Christmas and keep up with his excitement ...<br />

<span style="font-family: "uictfonttextstyletallbody"; font-size: 17px;">The whole concept behind the Kiddie club is designed for our little children aged between 3-12 </span><span style="font-family: "uictfonttextstyletallbody"; font-size: 17px;">to make the most of it by showcasing their hidden talents and pursue their hobbies through various activities conducted at stores.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "uictfonttextstyletallbody";"><span style="font-size: 17px;">Going shopping would never feel boring as it sounds to kids. I know how difficult it gets when mothers want to go shopping and kids turn up that bore face which is a straight no for them. </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "uictfonttextstyletallbody";"><span style="font-size: 17px;">With an awesome idea like a kiddie club can turn shopping into a fun time for kids and offer them a fabulous quality time while one has a choice to indulge in shopping and exploring the new stuff at the store. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "uictfonttextstyletallbody";"><span style="font-size: 17px;">I had a fabulous time along with my son who indulged in various games and got a chance to play with some of the newly introduced toys that he aspires to add to his collection. To be able to pick and play with what ever they desired from a huge range of toys was truly exciting and fun for kids.</span></span><br />

The whole idea behind this campaign "IT TAKES 2" again lies in the interest of babies at the core. The thought that 'involvement of both the mother and the father in baby chores is essential for the cognitive, social as well as emotional development of the baby' is primarily the purpose of the campaign.</div>
<br style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 24px;" />
<div style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 24px; line-height: 30pt; padding-bottom: 6px;">
The survey held with 432 parents during the campaign "It Takes 2" brought out some startling facts on parental behaviour.<br />

The most shocking facts of all that says "<b>88% dads believe that baby chores primarily need only the moms </b><b>involvement" </b>needed an instant action to break away the social stigma attached with men taking up baby care duties.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 24px; line-height: 30pt; padding-bottom: 6px;">
In order to bring in the change in our society and break the stereotype, Pampers held a bloggers meet along with the panel of experts that lead to an insightful discussion on the significance of inclusive Parenting, scientific facts and their personal experiences of baby care.<br />

<b>Miss Banu Ismail, </b>Psychologist, Child Psychotherapist and Psychoanalyst emphasised '<i>the </i><i>role of a father helps to </i><i>separate the symbiotically bonded </i><i>mother infant pair and provide emotional support to the mother who can in turn emotionally support the baby</i>'. She also said there are evidences that suggests that fathers are biologically no less sensitive to infant signals than mothers.<br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 24px;">Research suggests that on an average "the presence of an </span><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 24px;">active, nurturing father is likely to be beneficial to many aspects of a child's development".</span><br />

<b>Dr. Avinash De Sousa, </b>Consultant Psychiatrist and psychotherapist said, "<i>Both parents play a vital role in the growth and development of a child. It is their 'presence' which is far more important than their 'presents'. The touch and warmth of both the parents develops a strong bond between parents and toddler in early years of growing up and stays forever".</i><br />

<div style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 24px; line-height: 30pt; padding-bottom: 6px;">
He also emphasised, In this era of globalisation and digital lifestyle, TIME is an important investment that parents need to make for an over all development of a child.<br />

<i>The prime focus of the event was to change the perception </i><i>among men and women in our society when it comes to parenting. It takes 2 to make a baby and therefore it takes 2 </i><i>to raise a baby. It was a great interactive meet where mommy bloggers came up with different perspectives and shared their personal experiences and how their husbands </i><i>involvement made life so much easier and took the pressure off them.</i></div>
<br style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 24px;" />
<div style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 24px; line-height: 30pt; padding-bottom: 6px;">
We have come a long way when it comes to fathers involvement in parenting. More and more fathers are coming forward and willing to share the baby chores. Though it comes naturally to mothers, fathers need to go an extra mile to learn to do few things that they hesitate to do out of fear for the baby.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 24px; line-height: 30pt; padding-bottom: 6px;">
Moreover it's the Indian society that needs to change the way we bring up babies. Many a times it's looked down upon men who want to help their wives in baby chores. The social stigma that our society carries about men doing the dirty job of cleaning up the mess and being engaged in child care duties need a new perspective.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 24px; line-height: 30pt; padding-bottom: 6px;">
The mindset has to change and the owners lies on all the moms who are raising boys to ensure they are taught to do anything and everything that a girl child can do. When it comes to taking responsibility they shouldn't step back rather take it up with pride.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 24px; line-height: 30pt; padding-bottom: 6px;">
I am sure this great campaign rather a movement #ItTakes2 by <a href="https://www.blogger.com/"><span id="goog_485580570"></span>Pampers<span id="goog_485580571"></span></a> in association with <a href="http://www.mycity4kids.com/" target="_blank">mycity4kids</a> will bring a very positive change in our society and the way men look at parenting.<br />
