“Do something nice for yourself today. Find some quiet, sit in stillness, breathe. Put your problems on pause.

You deserve a break.”

―Akiroq Brost 

Work - office - school - tiffin - maids - stress - housework - grocery shopping - extra classes - getting late - rushing - no time = most used phrases now.

Solitude - peace - stillness- breathing - enjoying tea time - I have time for myself = phrases getting extinct.

Every time we do something good for ourselves, even if it is one percent, our life improves by one percent every day! Isn’t it amazing? Watch the sunrise or the sunset - whatever that suits you. Watch the sky, stars, and birds, and practice deep breathing. Spend time in solitude every day and see the difference. 

This issue is very special for us. We not only have inspiring mom stories, but we also have some tips for GurgaonMoms from a renowned pediatrician, Sameera Satija’s mindful practices for sustainable living, Avni’s make-up recommendation for all of us…. and so much more!!

DCP Astha Modi talks about crime, career and so much more
