The itch to write

 "Not Lazy, Just Lost" — A poem for every parent wondering why their brilliant child struggles at school. They say: “My child is clever, sharp, and bright, A spark that glows with inner light. So why do grades not match the flame? Why does school feel more like shame?” It isn’t sloth, it isn’t pride, It’s a quiet storm they hold inside. The world applauds the neat and still— But not the child with thoughts that spill. We breathe relief when school begins, Uniforms on, routine kicks in. Yet many minds feel left behind, Their rhythm different, undefined. School asks for silence, rows, and rules, Suppressing hearts in crowded schools. Where feelings loud and minds that roam, Are told to "focus" or "go home." But look beneath what’s judged as slack, You’ll find a child under attack— By doubts, by noise, by social fear, By never quite belonging here. The day is long, the smiles are few, They mask, they shrink, they push on through. They come back home with wear...

This poem is a small gift for our son who is celebrating his 8th birthday tommorow.  In your eyes, we see the stars, A world of wonder, near and far. Your smile—a spark that lights our day, Your laugh—a song that melts the gray. You walk a path that’s all your own, With quiet strength you’ve always shown. You’re unique in every single way, A shining light that leads the way. Empathy flows from your gentle heart, You feel so deeply, set apart. You care, you love, and always try— A tender soul that lifts us high. And oh, the way you sing so true, Each note you hum, each tune you do— Your voice, like music from above, Fills our hearts with joy and love. We pray you grow as a child of God, Doing what is just and right always Though we sometimes scolded you  We hope you know that it's for your own good Just as you love lights and every wire, Circuits, switches, sparks of fire— Your soul, too, glows electric-bright; You are our ever-glowing light. The world may not see the way you s...

Photo credit:  versionweekly.com Once, the world was wild and free, Laughter echoed through the trees. Scraped-up knees and secret quests, Adventures spun from life's unrest. Evenings filled with cricket’s song, Chasing winds that blew so strong. Hide-and-seek in sunlit lanes, No two days were quite the same. Now, the world is cold and still, Silent screens have bent our will. Eyes are locked in glowing trance, Fingers swipe but do not dance. Once, we played in dirt and sand, Now, they clutch a phone in hand. Lost in pixels, lost in scrolls, Drifting further from their souls. Dopamine, a master’s chain, Tricks the mind, rewires the brain. Children fed on fleeting highs, Trapped beneath the algorithm’s ties. Playgrounds empty, swings don’t creak, Voices fade, no shouts, no shrieks. Imagination bought and sold, Replaced by trends, both fast and cold. Not a question of screen or no, But how to make real life grow. To spark a fire, to light a dream, To break away from the machine. For ...

They say I can’t give my all at work, That motherhood makes my focus shirk. But what they don’t see, what they don’t know, Is how my strength has learned to grow. A part of me is with my child, Soft and tender, free and wild. Yet here I stand, strong and true, Doing more than I used to do. What once dragged on, now gets swiftly done, Efficiency forged in the race I run. My mind is sharp, my heart is steel, Motherhood taught me how to heal. Resilience shaped by sleepless nights, Patience honed through endless heights. Time is not the only scale, Value lies in where we sail. So hire the moms, embrace their power, Watch them rise, hour by hour. For a mother’s strength is something new— Stronger, faster, and wiser too.

  Charge ₹2,000 for a root canal. See 10 patients a day. Work 5 days a week. That’s 4 lakhs a month! If only REALITY worked like that. But here’s what people don’t consider: > Most dentists don’t get 10 root canal patients every single day.  Some cases are consultations, some are cleaning, and some are just recall visits. Not every patient is a high-ticket treatment. > Running a dental clinic isn’t a one-person job—it takes a whole team. Receptionists, dental assistants, MDS specialists, and support staff all contribute to making the practice run smoothly. > Patients don’t magically show up. You have to invest in marketing, build credibility, and earn their trust before they choose you. > Competition is everywhere. At every major junction, you’ll find at least 7 other dental clinics—all trying to attract the same patients. > And let’s be real, Ambani isn’t our regular patient. Now, let’s talk about the hidden costs no one mentions: Instruments & Materials ...

  We gaze at screens, day and night, A world so flat, yet shining bright. Pixels dance, but can’t replace, The warmth of touch, a loved one’s face. No scent of earth, no ocean's breeze, No velvet grass beneath our knees. No taste of rain, no fire’s glow, Just silent echoes, a hollow show. Are we alive, or just a view? A life so crisp, yet missing hue. Step outside, let senses soar, Feel, breathe, taste—be whole once more. # unLearn

 It is not just a celebration, but a reckoning. International Women’s Day, celebrated every year on March 8, has a long and powerful history rooted in the fight for women’s rights.  Here’s how it all began:   - **1908:** Around 15,000 women garment workers marched in New York City, demanding better pay, shorter working hours, and voting rights.   - **1909:** The first National Women’s Day was observed in the U.S. on February 28, organized by the Socialist Party of America.   - **1910:** At the International Socialist Women’s Conference in Copenhagen, German activist Clara Zetkin proposed an annual International Women’s Day to promote women’s rights.   - **1911:** The first International Women’s Day was celebrated on March 19 in Austria, Denmark, Germany, and Switzerland.   - **1917:** Russian women protested for "Bread and Peace" on March 8 during World War I.  Their strike played a key role in the Russian Revolution and l...

  For the longest time, I believed that MDS was the only way to succeed in dentistry—more prestige, better career opportunities. That’s what everyone seemed to say. I even appeared for the NEET exam and secured an exceptionally good rank. But it wasn’t enough for a government seat, and I wasn’t willing to invest a fortune in a private one. That’s when I paused and asked myself: Do I really want this? ❌ Here’s why I chose a different path: ⏳ I don’t want to confine myself to a single specialty when dentistry is constantly evolving. 🚀 I don’t want to chase a title just because society expects me to. ✨ My true passion lies elsewhere—teaching, creating content, writing, and empowering others. Instead of spending three years specializing in MDS, I can invest that time in sharpening skills that truly excite me— public speaking, teaching, video editing, writing, and marketing. I can take courses, gain hands-on experience, and build something unique rather than simply following the crowd....

 Marketing these days is all about making you panic. Every email says "Last chance!", "Hurry before it’s gone!", or "Only a few left!", as if missing a sale is some huge disaster. Brands create fake urgency to make you buy things right away. A new phone comes out, and suddenly, everyone "needs" to pre-order it—even though their old phone works perfectly fine. It’s stressful. It’s making people spend money they don’t need to. Now, look at Instagram influencers. One month, they say a handbag is their absolute favorite. The next month, they’re raving about a new pair of shoes. If you listened to them all year, your closet would be stuffed with trendy things that go out of style in no time. And it’s not just fashion—it’s everywhere. Fitness influencers: One week, they swear by a protein powder. Next week, it’s a totally different brand. Follow them for a year, and your kitchen will be full of half-used supplements. Beauty influencers: One day, they s...

The Question Every Parent Should Ask What if the career I’m preparing my child for… hasn’t been invented yet? Twenty years ago, jobs like AI engineer, app developer, or professional YouTuber sounded like science fiction. Today, they’re cornerstones of the global economy. With AI, automation, and quantum computing reshaping industries at lightning speed, one truth becomes clear: the future isn’t just uncertain—it’s unknowable. We can’t predict which jobs will exist in 2040, but we can spot patterns: 65% of today’s grade-schoolers will work in roles that don’t currently exist (World Economic Forum). Technical skills have a half-life of 2–5 years as technology evolves. “Stable” careers now pivot overnight (e.g., writers adapting to ChatGPT, marketers adjusting to algorithms). The answer isn’t to chase trends. It’s to raise kids who thrive in uncertainty. The Three Pillars of Lifelong Learning Forget memorizing facts. Tomorrow’s problem-solvers need: 1. Curiosity as a Superpower Encourage:...

Starting a dental clinic is exciting but also challenging. You need to plan well, invest wisely, and follow the right strategy.  1️⃣ Legal Setup & Licenses 📜 Before opening your clinic, you need: ✅ DCI Registration – Your official dentist license. ✅ Trade License & GST – Legal permissions to run a business. ✅ Biomedical Waste Disposal Compliance – Rules on safely disposing of medical waste. ✅ Accreditation (NABH, etc.) – Optional but adds credibility to your clinic. 2️⃣ Finding the Right Location 📍 Your clinic should be in a busy area where many people pass by, like near markets, schools, or offices. Make sure: ✅ The clinic is easy to reach (good roads, public transport nearby). ✅ You have enough space (500-1000 sq. ft.) for treatment, waiting area, and sterilization. ✅ Parking space is available for patients’ convenience. 3️⃣ Essential Equipment & Technology 🦷🔬 Start with the basics: ✅ Dental chair – Your main workstation. ✅ X-ray machine – For diagnosing teeth pro...
