Murder - Domestic Tragedies: Reading the Red Flags & Finding an Escape

Image
  In India, homicides within the household are rarely unexpected. There's almost always a gradual build up of tension, a sequence of warnings that can be detected from a mile away if people were simply paying attention. Relationships don't unravel over a night; the unraveling is always messy, prolonged and highly visible to people outside. If we are able to identify these warning signals & intervene in time, we can avoid almost 90% of these tragic deaths. There's no monopoly on malice: It can seep into anyone. Modern Indian society increasingly embraces certain worst features of the Western civilization like hollow relationships & extreme toxicity while at the same time, dismissing most of the society's healthy aspects. The Indian society should instead learn from the West to acknowledge its negative traits instead of flaunting them & follow their humane traits & policies instead of its harmful ones. The number of unnatural deaths continues to be...

Why Parents need to Stop Comparing. Are we teaching or driving our kids crazy? As children, all of us would have faltered at mathematics, bumbled over science or just been "off" on exams. As soon as we became parents, however, something strange happened. We suddenly felt it was natural & fitting to expect our children to compete with & perform like the very best. We project our highest aspirations onto our children & picture them as exclusively doctors, engineers or high ranking officers. There is absolutely nothing wrong with wanting our children to excel us & lead fulfilling careers. However in this aspect, we often disregard the basic nature of human beings. No two humans are alike in terms of health, intellect, intelligence or analytical skills. Every child is born with a specific set of talents & a set of frailties; most of these are ingrained within their very DNA. We can either encourage or negate these traits to some extent, but we have to rememb...
