A beautiful letter from a mother to her son, in which she shares meaningful life-lessons to help him lead a happy life.
Life is amazing,
And then it’s awful,
And then it’s amazing again,
And in between the amazing and awful
It’s ordinary and mundane and routine.
Breathe in the amazing,
hold on through the awful, and relax
and exhale during the ordinary.
That’s just living heart breaking,
soul-healing, amazing, awful,
ordinary life.
And it’s breathtakingly
beautiful– L. R. KNOST
Dear son,
This quote exactly sums up what I want to tell you.
Many a times we feel that life is not how it should have been. Life doesn’t always introduce us to the people we want to meet. Sometimes people come into our life to help you. Sometimes they come to hurt you. Sometimes they come to love you. Each one of them will make you stronger and help you to become the person you are meant to be.
Life always does not happen the way we plan. You may grow up and choose a career which is completely different from what you are studying now. It’s ok, any knowledge is good knowledge. It will help you in some way or the other.
If something is meant for you, it will turn up when the time is right.
Always be open to listen, to understand and to learn. Don’t judge people by their wealth or the lack of it as well as their appearance.
I know your generation believes that you only live once so you should experience everything. Experiencing everything does not mean doing something just for the heck of it.
You only live once, so make your life something worth being remembered for.
It’s not cool, not to care. Effort is cool, caring is cool, respect is cool.
Don’t wait for your exam to get over to enjoy. Plan your day. Work hard, play hard.
Life is breathtakingly beautiful, enjoy every moment because you are worth it.
God bless you and love you.

Neena was the sole caregiver of Amma and though one would think that Amma was dependent on her, Neena felt otherwise.
Neena inhaled the aroma that emanated from the pan and took a deep breath. The aroma of cumin interspersed with butter transported her back to the modest kitchen in her native village. She could picture her father standing in the kitchen wearing his white crisp kurta as he made delectable concoctions for his only daughter.
Neena grew up in a home where both her parents worked together in tandem to keep the house up and running. She had a blissful childhood in her modest two-room house. The house was small but every nook and cranny gave her memories of a lifetime. Neena’s young heart imagined that her life would follow the same cheerful course. But how wrong she was!
When she was sixteen, the catastrophic clutches of destiny snatched away her parents. They passed away in a road accident and Neena was devastated. Relatives thronged her now gloomy house and soon it was decided that she should be married off.
Menopause is a reality in women's lives, so Indian workplaces need to gear up and address women's menopausal needs.
Picture this: A seasoned executive at the peak of her career suddenly grapples with hot flashes and sleep disturbances during important meetings. She also battles mood swings and cognitive changes, affecting her productivity and confidence. Eventually, she resigns from her job.
Fiction? Not really. The scenario above is a reality many women face as they navigate menopause while meeting their work responsibilities.
Menopause is the time when a woman stops menstruating. This natural condition marks the end of a woman’s reproductive years. The transition brings unique physical, emotional, and psychological changes for women.
