Cruelty exists and leads to terrible acts. But the silence surrounding that cruelty — the refusal to see, question, intervene or even acknowledge distress — is just as culpable. The responsibility of parents towards a daughter does not end with marriage. Not when her safety, dignity or emotional well-being is at stake. Parenthood does not…
We often measure a successful sportsperson by the records they set, and or the trophies they collect, and statistics that they have built, but behind every great athlete lie some powerful traits that set them apart. True champions are not defined only by talent; they become who they are with discipline, determination, and the ability…

It was a providential escape. Five minutes after I and my wife drove out from our house at Chittaranjan Park in the evening last Saturday, a big section of a Gulmohar tree crashed in front of our gate. While leaving, I had stepped out of the car to lock the gate, waved at a neighbour…
A meaningful no is rarely just a refusal. It is usually paired with explanations, consistency, and calm. Children do not need long lectures every time, but they do need to know that the boundary comes from care rather than cruelty. A parent who says no to a dangerous habit, a reckless purchase, or an unfair…
