Remember when I told you how stalking your kids on Facebook could be worth your while? Well apparently, there’s a mum who did just that and might have saved son’s life in doing so. The woman—who has her very own media name now; Utah Mom—is one of few parents who realize that a child’s digital […]
Talking about the generation gap between parents and children seems unnecessary doesn’t it, especially in this age. But honestly it is and will always will be a fact, a reality that you can’t get rid of no matter how technologically evolved we become. Because us grownups, we forget what it was like to be a […]

At one point or the other, some parents will find their children in an unhealthy relationship with food. Because as awful as it sounds for someone as young as 12 to be worried about having the right waistline or being a size 2, it’s a harsh reality that parents need to prepare for. And it’s […]
I loved Richard Linklator’s 12 year project for many reasons, but don’t worry; this isn’t a movie review. But the reason I’m bringing it up here on this blog is because the film wasn’t just about Boyhood—it was also just as much about parenthood.

The year has seen some unbelievable technology breakthroughs but can these high-growth rollercoaster IT techs survive within the spectrum of those old, conventional and lethargic business practices? Adaptation is the recipe. How would you manage employees for crowdsourced projects? What are the tweaks for ensuring that your employees are not working on atypical management techniques? […]
Do you think there’ll be 1.75 billion smartphone users, nearly 40% of which are teenagers and nothing would ever go wrong? Not a chance.
