A few months ago, I attended an Influenza Awareness Meet held at St. Regis here in Mumbai. I also hosted the event and moderated the panel discussions held during it. Ask any mother what she wants most in life, the answer will be the same across board – A healthy, happy child. And in order […]

It’s simple to implement, looks very grand and the timings are suitable for kids (afternoon or early evening). […]
