Chit-Chat with Bhushan Gaur Tell us about Your Childhood. I grew up in defence environment at different cantonments across India. It was a wholesome learning being raised among kids and others who were coming from diverse backgrounds. Every third year my father was posted to a newer city in a different state and we moved along starting afresh. So the childhood passed very beautifully exploring our beautiful country and its cultures. We were raised up to respect all religions and races. I ended up learning several Indian languages. All of it equipped me in my story telling. What inspired you to become a director? The quest to learn more and share the experiences. Both my parents were very fond of literature and were excellent at narrating their experiences. I was very fortunate to be taught by really great teachers. After my schooling I got change to work abroad. The ten year long journey in advertising and further education in business was just adding u...

A lot of people feel these unconventional career options might not pack in enough moolah but chances are if you hit it off then these could prove to be some really fun, out-of-the-box and offbeat careers for a bright future.  1) Dance Therapists  Dance therapy is the psycho therapeutic use of movement and dance to support intellectual and emotional functions of the body.

Rather than teaching dance, therapists try to assess the individual's needs and issues. Then they initiate and help develop movement pattern...

MALNUTRITION RISING : GLOBAL NUTRITION REPORT Few challenges facing the global community today match the scale of malnutrition, a condition that directly affects one in three people. Malnutrition manifests itself in many different ways: as poor child growth and development, as individuals who are skin and bone or prone to infection, as those who are carrying too much weight or whose blood contains too much sugar,salt,fat,cholesterol or those who are deficient in important vitamins and minerals. Malnutrition or undernourishment is a condition that results from eating a diet in which nutrients are either not enough or are too much that the diet causes health problems. With over 1.45 lakh children under the age of six in Gujarat identified with Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM), the state fails to identify any specific targets in their mission statements to overcome malnutrition, reveals the latest edition of Global Nutrition Report (GNR) . Also, the lack of coordinatio...

Why It's The Best Thing To Be A 90s Kid In India ???? If, like us, you were lucky enough to be a 90s kid in India, then you would identify with each and every one of these little things that made our childhood the best time of our lives ever. 1.Best cartoons ever: Cartoon Network gave us some of the best childhood shows ever, that we crave for till date. Tom and Jerry, Richie Rich, Scooby Doo, Dexter’s Lab, Johnny Bravo, The Flintstones, etc…we can never get over those. And remember how Cartoon Network would wrap up at 9 pm and TNT would come on? We used to wish that CN would go on forever! I really feel sorry for those kids who find bliss in cartoons like CHOTTA BHEEM. :( 2. Best summer holidays ever: Remember the last day of school before the glorious holidays would be upon us to give us respite from sitting in those sweltering classrooms in the middle of May? Remember finishing of your entire holiday homework in the first few days of the month long holiday...

                                                A Simple Issue So everyone is starting to leave, go abroad, chase their dreams... and maybe try to chase that pretty girl/boy they just saw. Point is we're all starting to grow up......as the hermits say: "age". Mainly mentally cause some of us go through puberty at like thirty five. Everyone's like flying off through the sunset with their honeys and later little bunnies while I'm sitting here wondering whether I need another spoon of maple syrup on my pancake. I'm kidding. I am only that jobless on Saturdays because I don't have to wake up early on a Sunday morning. However it's true, everyone around me who has either Lady Luck or Lady Lakshmi in their lives have basically attained their visas. By my own account, those ladies may just be actual women cause even they reject the simple and caring men. It is prove...
