We all open for business tomorrow – but, are we ready yet? The last few days of any year pass by very fast – 2025 was no exception and before you know it, we are four days into the new year already. A lot of what I thought I would get done, well, just didn’t. …
The weekend descended and so did the quest for the ideal venue for the (not so) little one’s birthday party. Gone are the days when kids were satisfied with the “Baar Baar yeh din aye” kind of celebrations with party hats and cakes and adults having most of the samosas and the fun. No sir …
Jealousy is a common human trait. We would have to admit that we have been jealous or envious of someone at some stage of our lives. It may be as silly as a car, to bigger things such as someone having your dream job, or a much better pay package, a bigger house, a better …
A good first day. Began with yoga, then a nice breakfast, reading, walks with family in the community, digging dinosaur fossils, child not sleeping, visited a friend’s house, child threw tantrums on the way back, and now onto the first blog of 2026. Managed to read a lot as well. Started this new book – …

We visited the recently renovated Dino Park and Glow Garden yesterday. The traffic was horrendous, but the visit was worth it. They have now added more ‘active’ Dinos that the kids absolutely love – they shout and scream and finally get around to touch the monsters, realizing that well, they are not the real deal. …
Humanist psychologist Carl Rogers believed that self-concept is made up of three distinct parts: ideal self, self-image, and self-esteem. His theory explains what it means when these parts are congruent or incongruent with reality, which impacts your self-concept. Rogers described the self-concept as being composed of three parts: Ideal self: The ideal self is the person you want …
