If you are a parent or going to become one soon, this is a must.

Why?

There are various reasons. The main reason is the book covers various aspects of how a kid should be raised and what are the issues and difficulties they face and how can they be effectively addressed by parents.

While everyone would agree that parenting isn't an easy task, reading this book would break that myth since it covers most of the aspects of raising a kid. Though it may look easy from outside, the real difficulty arises when the issues are not addressed in a rightful way.

This book has 12 chapters. Each chapter has some unique issues faced by the kids/students and how they were effectively handled.

The issues ranges from

1. Non encouragement by the parents.
2. Academic Success alone isn't the indicator to determine the worthiness of a child.
3. Family feud and where kid witnesses domestic assault and how it affects them.
4. Authoritative vs Permissive Parenting.
5. Responsibilities vs Conflicts.
6. Importance of limits and boundaries when it comes to using technology and gadgets.
7. Screen time and addiction to gadgets.
8. Appreciating kids for little things which may be trivial for us.
9. Self-worth and kids being ignored.
10. Success vs Happiness.
11. Importance of Gratitude and Self-Care.
12. Belief in God. 
13. Forgiving.
14. Formative and Summative exams.
15. Board vs Competitive exams.
16. Time Management.
17. Body Shaming.
18. Addiction to bad habits(smoking).
19. Channeling the Emotions.
20. Budgeting and Managing Money.
21. Sibling Rivalry.
22. Importance of Sacrifice, co-operation and sense of Unity.
23. Counselling.

I don't think you would get to see so many aspects covered in a single book. With his practical experience and domain knowledge, author has made the otherwise difficult task of raising kids effectively, a real easy one :-)

This book is available on Amazon

Is studying abroad a boon or a bane?

We have always had a debate when it comes to the topic - "Is studying abroad a boon or a bane?" The ideas differ from person to person. If you ask me, I would surely say that Studying Abroad is certainly a boon. Why is that? India is home to many universities which are known worldwide. Having said that, we must also accept the fact that none of them are in Top 20 at least. While there are many factors that attributes to this, when a person has the means to afford it combined with interest and talent, I do not see the reason as to why one shouldn't be educated abroad? While few study for their status symbol, majority of them predominantly study abroad to enhance their career. There is no doubt in it. Take a look at this brilliant video before we could proceed further. Having said that, the option isn't available to all who wanted to go out of India. The major hindrance for us is clearing the English tests which were being conducted across the glob...
