I am Born In chaos & I am not meant for Peace !

The First Rain or The First Kiss

Did I just smell The first rain or felt the first kiss,

Just when the city gave up on the heat,

Like the furious girlfriend, refusing to look at you,

The sky turns off the light & the city skips a beat,

The intimacy has now begun,

Just when it gets darker,

They both know the moment shall be here soon,

And just as it goes pouring,

You wish to go out there,

Falling in for the slippery emotions,

Much before they realize,

They are now done kissing,

The sky is clear but not so much the mood,

And hence the breeze chose to stay

Just as the inertia of this foreplay

PRE VACATION TIME IS MUCH MORE THAN GET SET GO !

There are lot of things that connects people and vacations are one of them. And it all begins with a random unexpected word that someone from within us will pop up and say “Let’s go “It might come to you as a delightful surprise or as a weird ignorable thought. But if the idea is lucky enough to become a plan then all can think about is leaving yourself behind, holding the maps & getting wonderfully lost.

And I have a lot to say about pre vacation time, something that is almost a sneak preview into how consuming, euphoric and connecting the coming vacation can be. It like a human gestation period, that helps you grow bit by bit, you start adapting yourself for the new world that seems like just a womb away.

I see my friends, like creatures who are slowly peeling off their skins and trying to be ready to wear the new one. Have you ever been in so much love with your routine, had it not been for a time like this when you know it is going to break soon. A new imagination, a new perspective, a new agenda, a new shopping list, a new loophole and sometimes new members coming your away all through this pre time.

Traveling makes you, breaks you and it totally takes you into itself. But does this not make the pre traveling time more like an achievement, because this is when you are unaided, you do not really have much more than imaginations & hopes but you still do manage to get your hormones high. You might just lose yourself as a solo traveler once there on the ground, but would you really miss those conversations that might connect you with your friends more, the preparations which help you want it even more & the days that pass by leaving behind in you, a million butterflies.

Such is a pre vacation time, a time that is a journey in itself. Its memories are the instant thoughts that will be there in your mind, when you finally get to take the first step or when you are retracing the last.

Such is its grand impact unless you live it king size!

CATCH UP ON THE GROWTH. What is missed is not really lost!

As Horlicks has introduced its very new product, we are looking forward to all it has, to catch up on the market.  A bright interactive evening hosted by Indigblogger, was an overwhelming platform for Horlicks to reach the bunch of enthusiast bloggers from widespread areas of interests.

Mr. Amaan Khan, Marketing Lead of Horlicks for India Sub continent, unveiled the product launch followed with a promising introduction. Mr. Khan along with an expert on nutritional health, helped categorizing Nutrient Deficiencies into two broad segments. Type 1 cover Deficiency of Functional Nutrients/Micro Nutrients whereas Type 2 talks about Macro/ Growth Nutrients. The product, Horlicks Growth+ was an initiative to focus on catching up the lost growth for children within the age bracket of 3-9 years (i.e. Typ2 Deficiency), who have not been able to attain a normal growth in terms of height & weight during their initial years. These kids fall under 10 percentiles of the growth chart and Growth+ is a complimentary benefit with a nutrient composition of six major ones (Proteins, Fat, Vitamin, Minerals & Fiber) mixed with water. 

“Anxious Mother” was not only a phrase used for the promotion but evidently as the discussion grew up, it turned out to be a major parenting concern.

So, here’s a sneak view to a panel discussion over “Dietetic Nutrition for Children & Importance of Right Growth”. This panel was chaired by the esteemed guests of honor – Dr. Rajiv Chhabra (Pediatrician), Ms Satinder Kaur Walia (Child Psychologist) , Dr. Jyoti Arora (Dietician) ,Natasha Badhwar (a seasoned media professional and columnist). This discussion helped the audience to relate to the benefits & the necessity of introducing a supplementary diet like Growth+ into a child’s life.

The discussion was intended to through the inevitable light on estimating that how much of it is a child’s physical / mental need & how much of it is what the parents have really missed. We reached to the point where Dr. Rajiv quoted that over-reliance to milk is not good for a child’s growth as it can cause deficiency of several other nutrients causing harmful symptoms like Anemia.  Much sooner than this was quoted, Dr. Jyoti & Ms. Walia both shared their individual maternal instincts towards “Child Based Parenting” which focus more towards Parenting based on instincts. Accordingly, parents should prefer the kind of a diet for their children that help them stand strong over their psychological needs.

After an interactive session with the audience, the panel was further laying emphasis to answer some queries related to the factors that influence a child’s eating & picking habits. Social media, peer pressure & the embedded family culture were being picked as the most impactful tools, which eventually reflect a child’s eating & picking habits. 

This & many more will help reduce the risk of having your child being affected by lost growth, malnutrition, obesity & many such silent epidemic health traits. But a smart decision can eventually help reduce a lot more of the concerns & caution. Horlicks Growth+ definitely sounded promising towards its objective and not to forget the taste was affirmative, by all good means.
