Four Clover Life- By Namrata Shailendra Singh

The water runs rough and deep here... Adolescence is a transitional stage of physical and psychological development that generally occurs during the period from puberty to legal adulthood. Is puberty inevitable a period of storm and stress? NO. It's not biologically determined. Social and cultural forces determine how well children adjust to this phase and how well the parent-child relationship change. The onus doesn't lie on the child alone. Parenting has to grow out of the 'baby-toddler-kiddo' mode to cater to the adolescent who is experiencing significant change biologically and psychologically. Do strong roots ensure your child will not SINK? COMMUNICATING AND COMMUNICATING ALL THAT WE CAN DO. ALL THAT CAN possibly make A DIFFERENCE. ENGAGE IN OPEN AND TWO-SIDED CONVERSATION You have heard this many times, but the fact remains that this is still the key. And this is still elusive in parent's behavior due to cultural forces and socie

Dil Chahta Hai and Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara are cult films that ensured we bought that bucket that houses our dreams and escapades. To the not so knowledgeable, The Bucket List is a 2007 American comedy-drama film directed by Bob Reiner. It's about two terminally ill men on a road trip to fulfill their wish list. You knew about this? Maybe yes, maybe no. But everybody seems to have it, either original or copied from someone. It makes one look all too KOOL and the ones who don't have it to look like FOOLS. If I get it right, it’s all copied. The idea, the trend, and the list. ;) It's a trend that started a decade ago; I do not really remember if it was around DDLJ and KKHH times. To the non-Bollywood types - it's the movie Dilwale Dulhaniya le Jayegein and Kuch Kuch Hota hai. Yes, we sometimes refer to that era by these names. And post then, everyone has acquired a bucket list, and there are two things pretty much everyone wants to do- adventure and travel

THE BATTLE BETWEEN STAY-AT-HOME MUMS AND WORKING MUMS... WHO HAS THE EDGE? A woman posted a momentary self-doubt today on Facebook-I wonder why people don't respect SAHM? What ensued was a raging debate and fierce battle only to leave some with hurt feelings, scratched self-respect, and bruised ego. Working mums defended their stand, and Stay at home mums tried to save theirs. Did they forget that they are one and the same? I was a part of it, and I watched what transpired amongst 250 women when their status quo was challenged. This, I guess, is the new debate considering many women have primarily been SAHM(Stay-at-Home-Mums). However, it’s now for the past two decades that the ‘working mums’ are also constituting a big part of the woman population, and hence comes the divide, each mum being territorial in holding her front ensuring 'NOBODY CROSSES THE FENCE.' But fences did get crossed and what was said is not as important as what was not said. Respond vs.

Scene 1 A warm cozy lazy evening, a wife wrapped around the arms of her husband and sipping wine Some thoughts strike her, and she turns around, caresses his brows, and asks- Do you ever remember 'her'?

Scene 2 A warm cozy lazy evening, a wife wrapped around the arms of her husband and sipping wine Some thoughts strike her, and she turns around, caresses his brows, and asks- Do you ever remember 'her'?

Scene 3 A warm cozy lazy evening, a wife wrapped around the arms of her husband and sipping wine Some thoughts strike her, and she turns around, caresses his brows, and asks- Do you ever remember 'her'?

What I didn’t know? Glucose is a type of sugar and not sugar itself. Insulin- a hormone that gets secreted when glucose level rises in the body. High blood glucose levels over an extended period of time have damaging effects on the eyes, kidneys, blood vessels, and nerves. Sweet food is high in carbohydrates. All carbohydrates are sugar, whether it is fruit, table sugar, bread, or vegetables. The total carbohydrate content includes all three types of carbohydrates: sugars, starches , and fiber . STARCH A grain contains three parts: · bran · germ · endosperm The bran is the outer hard shell of the grain that provides the most fiber. This makes the grain so beneficial because it is hard to digest, takes longer to digest, and therefore affects blood glucose more slowly (i.e., whole wheat bread, wheat flour, brown rice, red rice oats, vegetables, etc. It also contains the maximum part of Vitamin B and minerals.) The germ is the next layer and is packed with nutrients
