Parenting is a bliss, perhaps the most exciting experience. Nevertheless, it is fairly tough to build a bond that lasts lifetime. Baby care is challenging — encompassing breastfeeding, nursing and nurturing the newborn, sleep, diapering and monitoring the child’s growth and development, and keeping an overall track of his/her well being. It can be certainly a difficult thing to do, especially for busy parents where both work outside home, and childcare duties might need to be outsourced.
There is a glut of apps, baby gadgets, and smart devices for the young toddlers —tracking down their needs, moods, diaper changes and feeding. Smart bottle feeding. Tender tots under camera and sensors with logs of feeds, naps, and moods. Bluetooth, onesies, smart diapers, i-potties, and baby screens in lieu of cradles and constant attention.

Who are these people who decide how a married woman should pose? Women do have a life and career outside their marriages!

It was when I accidentally saw a derogatory term about the woman as the title of a post, that I read.
The woman in the pic was Dhanashree Verma, a Youtuber, choreographer, Jhalak Dikhla Ja participant and wife of cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal. The man was another choreographer, Pratik Utekar.
A nature lover, Usha Rajagopalan set up a trust called the Puttenahalli Neighbourhood Lake Improvement Trust (PNLIT) in June 2010.
