“Emotional intelligence needs to become a part of our conscious mind and self development.” You must have come across this statement whenever we talk about relationships, parenting and communication in any relationship.

Parenting is a bigger challenge for some than the rest
Every parent story is different One of the most important and loved people in my life became a first time parent. I was happy and excited for the new chapter in their life. What we learned, very quickly after the baby was born , were the long lasting challenges the parent and the baby would […]

It is parenting ever after
Weddings make me happy. I am not kidding when I say, that at any wedding, relatives or not, I genuinely feel motherly like for the couple. My heart fills with duas, my eyes with tears and my face is plastered with a continuous smile to the point where it starts aching. I have proof! The […]
