I am a mathematics teacher running Gyaan Ghar right now. It was only during the lockdown that I decide to share my knowledge. And now I make videos of maths lectures for class 10 students and upload them on my YouTube channel.

During the lockdown, all I really wanted to do was something for the student struggling with mathematics. And since this is what I am best at, I thought it would be the perfect time to spread the knowledge about mathematics.
Students fear maths, because they don’t practice. With Gyaan Ghar, I am to remove the fear from their minds by starting with. the basics. My work is very homely and I am available for any of their queries.

Calling a vaginal birth a 'normal' or 'natural' birth was probably appropriate years ago when Caesarian births were rare, in an emergency.
When I recently read a post on Facebook written by a woman who had a vaginal birth casually refer to her delivery as a natural one, it rankled.
For too long, we have internalized calling vaginal deliveries ‘normal’ or ‘natural’ deliveries as if any other way of childbirth is abnormal. What about only a vaginal birth is natural? Conversely, what about a Caesarian Section is not normal?
When we check on the health of the mother and baby post delivery, why do we enquire intrusively, what kind of delivery they had? “Was it a ‘normal’ delivery?” we ask.
Many women have lost their lives to this darkness. It's high time we raise awareness, and make maternal mental health screening a part of the routine check ups.
Trigger Warning: This deals with severe postpartum depression, and may be triggering for survivors.
Motherhood is considered a beautiful blessing. Being able to create a new life is indeed beautiful and divine. We have seen in movies, advertisements, stories, everywhere… where motherhood is glorified and a mother is considered an epitome of tolerance and sacrifice.
But no one talks about the downside of it. No one talks about the emotional changes a woman experiences while giving birth and after it.
