This book talks about all we need to know to rear a healthy, growing child. Beginning right from empathetic parenting to tips to follow in various challenging situations, to the concept of schooling and disabilities, and everything you are looking for as you parent your little one. Summary: To understand a child, we need to wear the child's glasses. In this book, she discusses the old style of parenting by punishment and proposes the concept of empathetic parenting.  She says that the origin of hurtful parenting is an abused parent himself.

"The best way to make children good is to make them happy."                                                                                      Oscar Wilde We live our life in stages.

He felt content in himself and was looking forward to a challenging posting after his commissioning on 28th June, 2023.His batchmates patted him saying, "You will definitely write a new era in the pilot's history."

Nature is my hub to replenish my depleting energy. After a day’s long work or a week of hectic rush, I always love to lay in the arms of mother nature. She has a lot to give and I need a lot to plenish. This is where I communicate with her.   Every day of my life always has one or other problems.  There must never be a day when I do not have one. Hah! Now I feel they are my most loyal co-companions. So, instead of getting troubled and anxious of them, I juxtaposed them and started to understand them in a positive way and guess what? To my surprise they came to me with a purpose- with a purpose to build me, with a purpose to give me the threshold push I needed to mature and climb my new levels of success.  With this understanding, my life had a very different perspective. Now I was not getting depressed or saying words like, "this always happens to me. Why don't I have a peaceful time? What's wrong with me that troubles never leave me?" The answer is I have reprogramme...
