Take a couple of days off and drive (yes, drive) up the hills. Go slow
and enjoy the scenery around you The misty greens, the
rejuvenating cool, low clouds sailing in through open windows, the
rush of pregnant streams hurtling down a fall. Enjoy the journey; let
the destination follow. Buy gumboots and sturdy umbrellas and make
sure you go for rain walks. If youre the sporty kind, arrange for a
weekend football game with friends in the rain-drenched field or go
swimming in a drizzle. Cosy up post dinner with your little ones on
nights of thunder and lightning and tell them ghost stories, or pick
from Roald Dahl and Ruskin Bonds repertoire and read aloud

Your May 2012 Issue was a sheer

delight. Suhasini Mulay on the cover
was truly classy. Indeed, after years
of hard work, she has achieved the
recognition and fame she deserves.
Not content with fame alone, she has
been an inspiration to women who
are single and seek companionship.
This issue of Good Housekeeping was
the perfect vehicle of positive
thinking, and it reminded me that
one can find love at anytime. Never

lose hope. Way to go GH!

Recently, I attended the amazing

two-day Good Housekeeping Show at
The Lalit in Delhi. It was a wonderful
experience, and it armed me with
lots of tips to lead a healthy and
beautiful life. The event was like a
goodie-bag, where every workshop
had something to offer. I enjoyed
several workshops (Kelloggs,
Herbalife, MTR...) so much that I
would have definitely attended more
had the show been extended for
another two days. Thanks for a
wonderful event!
Truly Yours...

I usually read your magazine from the first page to the last, so I dont miss out
on anything in between. Its the best stress-buster. This time however, I couldnt
stop myself from going straight to the article on Suhasini Mulay (May12).
Firstly, she looked remarkable on the cover. Secondly, I was curious how can
one start a new chapter in life (read get married) at 60? Besides, the headline
Its never too late in life for anything hits you hard. I am 32. And I often
wonder if I have done enough so far. I ask myself, is time running out? Will I be
able to do and get what I truly want? What if its too late? And all the answers
really lie in that one line: Its never too late in life for anything. Thanks for
such encouraging articles. I hope to imbibe this spirit in my daily life, and to age
gracefully, like Suhasini has.

I always love to read about your cover

personalities but was a little disappointed to
see no celeb on the June cover. But the Good
Housekeeping show booklet more than made
up for it. The information on sunscreens and
skin care in the booklet was extremely useful
and an eye-opener! Coming to the main issue,
I love baking so the basics list came in handy
and I have already started stocking up on the
necessary equipment. The paneer patties
recipe from Tiffin Nibbles feature in the
Good Food section was thoroughly enjoyed by
my daughter Palak and her friends. A great
issue, just like always!

I had an arranged marriage a few years back

and after initial teething problems, settled in
quite well in my new household. My husband
has always been very supportive and has no
qualms about working around the house. Your
article, Get Your Man To Do more is indeed
very useful for those wives who are struggling
to balance things. I have always believed that
a marriage is all about equals and if can go out
and work, then your husband can surely pitch
in for some household chores. Thanks Good
Housekeeping for such an interesting and
well-researched article!

;=@3B=1/@>3BAThis is for the homemaker who

is keen on wall-to-wall carpeting. You will need to work with a
manufacturer to get this particular look. Extend the carpeting with
a slight variation in motif, up the stairs. This homemaker has chosen
to keep the wall-to-wall carpeting nearly plain, while the stair carpet
is made up entirely of the pattern. The colour railing on the side wall
reflects the carpet hues, and could be turned out in the same material.
This works as a dcor element and saves the wall from getting dirty
from hand imprints.

You will need a clever carpenter to fashion this
sturdy multi-purpose table. The notches across
the legs with pegs allow the table top to be lowered
or taken up as per requirement. So, when there is
need for extra seating at an informal party, the
tabletop is lowered and acts as a perch-on. In the
early years of this familys life, the table, fixed at a
low, acted as the childrens table where they sat at
for meals and to study.

Exercise reduces feelings of tension,

even for women who have been
diagnosed with generalised anxiety
disorder. In a recent British study, six
we ek s of r e si st a nc e workout s
significantly calmed participants 60
percent were no longer diagnosed with
the condition.
A;;FM7J;H>7D:O
Mild dehydration reducing fluid

levels just 1 percent can cause moods
to darken and tension to increase, a
multi-university US study has found.
But dont replenish your body with
extra cups of coffee: About 15-20
44
percent of people are genetically more

susceptible to getting a jangle of
anxiety from caffeine, reported a
British study.

If anxiety is interfering with your job

or home life, its time to seek help.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
is a proven treatment for anxiety
disorders, a new US review confirms.
Youll learn to confront distorted
thoughts, calm your reactions, and
gradually expose yourself to things you
fear. Talk to your doctor about therapy.
She may also suggest medication. Not
to worry these days, antidepressants,
not habit-forming medicines, are

typically the first-line choices.
JHOC;:?J7J?ED
When youre anxious and imagining

that something bad might happen, you
suffer a snowballing of thoughts,
emotions, and physical reactions
even if nothing has actually occurred,
explains Elizabeth Hoge, MD, of
Ha r va rd Med ic a l School. In
mindfulness meditation, you learn to
watch your thoughts without acting on
them. Creating some distance from
emotions and thoughts allows you
to decide the next step without
overreacting or avoiding, she says.

For Back Pain, Say Ahh

7TbVSVc`be]\b_cWbQ]\aWRSÒ\OZbS`\ObWdSbVSÒ^g]`be]
Recent studies from the Group Health Research Institute in Seattle
found that both Swedish massage and yoga significantly relieve
chronic back pain. After 10 treatments, of the 401 patients in the
massage study, over 35 percent reported their pain was gone or
much better, compared with only 4 percent of those who
continued with usual care. Want a hands-off fix? In another study,
12 yoga classes also brought relief, with 60 percent of patients
reporting significant improvement. Seek out a skilled practitioner
or instructor, says US-based senior investigator Daniel Cherkin,
PhD. With yoga, find a teacher who will make adjustments to help
prevent injuries.

Allergy usually occurs due to hypersensitivity to
allergens (in your case pollen and dust).
Homeopathic remedies can help reduce your
hypersensitivity, which in turn will make you less
susceptible to symptoms of allergy. But a lot depends
on the homeopathic physician you consult. A good
doctor will do a detailed study of your constitution
and condition before prescribing medicines. Your
past health history is also important.
Make sure you visit your homeopath every 15-20
days with an update on your condition instead of
waiting for months to tell him your progress/or the
lack of it. The doctor can then change your
dosage accordingly. Usually, it takes about six
months for homeopathic medication to
work optimally, and for you to see a
marked change. But since in your case,
its been over six months, without any
improvement, you should visit your
doctor immediately, for him to review
your case and alter your prescription. Or,
you may want to take a second opinion.

It is generally known as conjunctivitis because its an

infection in the conjunctiva a thin mucous membrane
covering the inside of the eyelids and the eye ball. When
you have an infection, the eyes become red, itchy, watery
and painful, and one finds it hard to face the light. The
infection can be bacterial, viral or fungal, and it affects
one eye at a time. Conjunctivitis lasts for about 3-4 days.
But if you delay the treatment, the infection could take
time to heal. Remember, the symptoms of an allergy and
an eye infection are similar, so consult your doctor and
follow the treatment thoroughly. If the infection is severe,
the eye specialist may prescribe oral antibiotics along
with a tonic.

About 20 percent of women around the world have

pain before or during their periods. In medical
terms this is called dysmenorrhoea, and can be
classified into two types: spasmodic or congestive.
IfWiceZ_Y:oic[dehhê[W
This means pain that comes in spasms. At times,
the pain starts in the back and radiates towards
the front and onto the thighs. It happens when
there are fibroids or polyps in the uterus which
the body is trying to expel. Get an ultrasound
done and follow through with the treatment.
EVObO`STWP`]WRaFibroids are muscular tissues that can either be
found in the uterine cavity, uterine wall, or
outside the uterine wall. Research shows that 30
percent of women have fibroids. They may either
be asymptomatic or may cause pain, heavy
bleeding, pressure on the kidney and bladder, or
in some cases, even lead to infertility. The
treatment is based on your symptoms, body
type and age and condition.
EVObO`S^]ZgâThey are tissues hanging from the inner
lining of the uterus, which is known as the

endometrium. They can be harmless or may
cause pain, heavy bleeding or infertility.
B`SOb[S\b
It is best to get polyps and fibroids removed
surgically through hysteroscopy, which is a
surgical procedure in which a small telescope
with a camera is used to inspect the inside of the
uterus. Surgery is carried out while looking at
the monitor.
9ed][ij_l[:oic[dehhê[W
This is a heavy dull pain in the
lower abdomen, associated with
the congestion of the uterus.
There may be extra blood flow
than usual due to hormonal
changes. It is best to take antispasmodic medicines for this.

As the rains set in, so do diseases such

as diarrhoea. Here are some
precautions for the season will
boost your immunity as well:
n Drink clean, filtered water (boiled is
the best).
n Cover food properly to avoid flies
and insects falling in.
n Avoid eating raw vegetables. Try to
always eat hot, thoroughly cooked
food to prevent waterborne diseases.
7K=KIJ
n If your child has diarrhoea, give him
thoroughly, (with VegFru wash),

especially leafy ones, as they contain
mud and micro-organisms.
n Use more ginger, garlic, asafoetida
(hing) and turmeric (haldi) in your
food to boost your familys immunity.
n Avoid eating from roadside vendors,
as very few people have high
immunity to handle the bacterial
overload at such places.
oral rehydration solution (ORS) at

regular intervals to replace the lost
water and electrolytes. Mix a spoonfull in a glass of water and keep giving
it at regular intervals.

n Be aware of your body. Dont ignore its warning signals
such as pain, fever, changes in bowel and bladder habits,

blood from anywhere in any quantity, sudden weight
fluctuation and changes in appetite, appearance of
swellings or lumps, tingling/numbness anywhere,
blurring of vision, persistent fatigue and tiredness,
excessive sleepiness, breathlessness, skin changes
including itching, appearance of moles or warts, and
changes in skin colour anywhere on the body. Reacting
early could save you a lifetime of pain and discomfort.
n For your parents (55 years and above), look out for
changes in their mental status to ensure timely treatment
for diseases such as senile dementia, Parkinsonism,
Alzheimers; while these are dangerous, they can be
controlled with timely intervention. Take them to a
doctor immediately if you notice any behavioural
changes. Dont wait for disaster to strike.

Get flu vaccination: Children,

parents (60 years and above),
diabetics, asthmatics or
anybody in your family who is
immuno-compromised,
should get a shot,
recommends
Dr Thacker, consultant
physician, Jaslok

around the time new
vaccines are released.
Asthmatics may need to
up their dosage till

respiratory capacity for
the winter, Dr Thacker
recommends a
30-minute walk, yoga and

deep breathing exercises.

It is the time of any month, when one single egg
is released in a woman's body. This process is
called ovulation. This egg stays in her system
for only 1-2 days. Intercourse in these 2 days
can significantly increase a woman's chances of
getting pregnant.
How does i-sure help?
i-sure is an ovulation test kit that can tell 12-24
hours in advance when ovulation will occur
with 99 percent accuracy.

all spell doom for the skin during the
rainy season. What makes it worse is that
most women tend to skip the basic
skincare routine of cleansing, toning,
moisturising, and applying a sunscreen,
thinking that its of no use since
humiditys bound to wash away
the efforts, literally. In fact,
the humid weather may call
for special care to keep up
your skins health and glow.
So, before you set about
adopting any routine, make
sure you know your skin type.
Also, did you know that your
skin type/condition changes
with several factors, including
the changing season? Dr Aparnaa
Santhanam, Good Housekeepiing
beauty columnist, who is also a
consulting dermatologist at Hindustan
Unilever Limited, says, There are two
factors that affect ones skin: genetic and
external. Due to the weather change you
may have oily skin during the summer;
but this may drastically alter in the
external factors that affect skin

include diet, stress levels, medication
and skincare routine that may alter
the oil production in skin.

You need to keep up your regular

skin routine but the sticky weather
may lead you to go on an over-drive
with the cleaning and toning. This
confuses the skin. It strips off the
natural oils from the skin, and
therefore, the glands start producing
extra oil, quite defeating your
purpose! explains Dr Santhanam.
The monsoons may also lead to
dull and pasty skin, because high
humidity tends to plump up dead
cells. So exfoliate regularly. Using
scrubsmarket-boughtorhomemade
ones can leave you with soft and
silky skin. For a homemade scrub,
mix ground almonds with milk and
honey. Leave it on for a while, then
scrub your face gently in a circular
motion, rinse and moisturise. Do this
twice a week.
Does one need sunscreen even
when the suns playing hide-andseek amid the clouds? The experts
are clear on this: Never shun it. It
protects you against UV, UVB and

Ponds Beauty Council, Dr Rashmi

Shetty, who runs RA Skin and
Aesthetics in Mumbai, says, This
weather is a problem, especially if
your skins oily, because the outside
humidity accelerates the oil
production in ones skin, she says. Dr
Santhanams tips on monsoon
skincare: As the humidity is high and
you perspire more, change your
products to suit the season, if need be,
p
or else your skin will suffer. For
insstance, if you have an oily or
combination skin, and continue
using creamy formulations, you
will experience

ultraviolet rays (which you may not

see as sunshine). An SPF 30 with
PA protection works well for average
Indian skin types, but if you are
mostly outdoors, try a SPF 50 or
above. Dont forget to check the tan
protection index (TPI). Look for 3-4
stars, advises Dr Shetty. (You can ask
an expert to check what SPF your
skin needs at the Lakm Beauty
Salon or the Kaya Skin Clinic). She
also cautions against getting wet in
the first few rains of the monsoon.
The water brings with it pollutants
that can spell bad news for your skin.
But if you do get wet, dry yourself
thoroughly, quickly. Water trapped
in the skins folds can lead to fungal
infections, she adds.* Dr Shetty says:
Finally, remember, a day at the salon
or at the dermatologists cant make
up for the everyday neglect. Your
home skincare routine is
important so make
sure you have a
healthy diet, drink
at least 8-10 glasses
of water every day,
and protect your
skin properly.

n Use a soap-free cleanser. Also,
once in three days, scrub your skin

with a gentle scrub to get rid of the
dead cells.
n This season, follow up with an
alcohol-free toner as the increased
humidity opens up the pores.
n Make time for a face pack and body
scrub, once a week (see next page).
n Use a light lotion or serum. Look for
lactic acid among the ingredients it
brightens up the skin.
n Dont miss the sunscreen even if the
day is cloudy. UV rays can penetrate
the clouds.
n Shun heavy makeup you dont want
raccoon eyes if caught in the rain. Use
water-proof makeup, if you must.
n Opt for a light mousse, a matte
compact or just a
f ew d r o p s o f
calamine lotion
mixed with your
moisturiser as a
makeup base.
n Drink lots of
fluids Ensure
your skin is wellhydrated.

Want to look younger instantly? Then smile! UK researchers found
that when men and women were shown photos and asked to guess
the persons age, happy faces were voted the youngest looking.
Sadly, though, dentists say theyre seeing more signs of premature
tooth wear due to diet (increased consumption of fizzy drinks, for
example) and stress, which can cause tooth-grinding. Your dentist
may advise a fluoride mouth rinse or a mouth guard to help restore
that perfect smile.

DSouza, marketing manager, Esprit.
Those who survive the monsoons
with nice, dry feet fall into one of the
following personality types. Find yours,
and then Happy Feet!
>[h>_]^d[ii
To start with, monsoon footwear can

really be fashionable. Unless you have
a lot of chasing buses to do, a smart
high-heeled shoe will work for you
anything that raises you a good
2-inches off the soaked street.
Platforms keep you high and mighty,
and stilettos stand tall, as long as
theyre not made of suede.

>V]b]UÒ^V(B67<9AB=19>6=B=A
The market is flooded with all types of

footwear promising to be water-proof.
Beware! Many of these will start peeling
or growing mould and turning green.
Heels and soles will fall off, insoles will
strip. So keep your really fancy shoes in
for a non-rainy day. Dry them out, use a
soft brush to clean them, and tuck them
away with mothballs. Then, go out and
splash through the monsoons with
these good shoes and better advice.
The trend this monsoon is colourblocking (wearing two or more solid
blocks of colours in a single outfit).
Time to go big and bold and brighten up
drab rainwear as well, with some fun
footwear. Ballerinas or even Mary Janes
(closed, low-cut flat shoes) in vivid
colours... theres really no reason to give
style a miss this monsoon, says Mario
8eejb[]][h
Slightly less formal, but as much in

vogue, is the boot. Remember that
getting your feet wet is only part of the
problem. Often, flooded bits of road or
bad-mannered motorists ensure half
your leg is wet too. A straight dress or
even a Gurjari wrap-around, teamed
with a knee-length pair of boots now,
thats a traffic stopper!
J^[:ka[
Which brings us to the wellingtons,

wellies or gum boots. Thick, rubber and
solid and they remind you of a farmer
shovelling hay. No! Check out
Burberrys wellies and flamboyance
comes to mind, but only if youre
willing to pay a whopping `7,000 for
less than three months of monsoons.
However, local markets in Delhi such
as Sarojini Nagar, GKII M-block
market and Mumbais Fashion Street
have the affordable versions. Red,
yellow, green or blue take your pick!

Unbeatable in this weather is the allterrain shoe available at Woodland or

Timberland. Drive it through rubble or
cascading mud or rivers of debris. The
shoe acts as armour, keeping all the evil
away, especially wet evil. It also looks
smart on a nice slim ankle.
=eIeYab[ii
Most shoes will dry out, but socks are

the traitors. Theyre the ones that get
sodden through the tiniest gap in your
shoe, and keep your feet feeling and
A[[fWfh[jjo\ehcWb

Y^Wd][m^[doek
h[WYê\\_Y[
smelling like fish all day. So invest in a

pair of pumps, or even a smart pair of
laced-up shoes. Its about carrying it
off with aplomb. Many a sari has sailed
in on a pair of ballerinas. Bata has an
interesting range of pretty rubber
pumps, so pick a pair that you can
team with any outfit.
IjhWff[h
And now what of the large population

of ladies who hate closed shoes? Many
seem to walk, live even sleep in the
omnipresent sandal in any season.
Easy to pull on, pull off, wash, dry, and
easy to coordinate with anything at
all... Trendy like the colourful Crocs,
sturdy dailies from Bata, sporty
Reeboks or those ankle-strapped
Roman sandals that have made a comeback centuries later. But how do you
keep the citys squelch from getting
into your toes? Not recommended for
the squeamish!
J^[9^[[h\kb9^Wf
Chappals! Rubber slippers! We end

with the endearing, affordable flipflops. If youre not doing the formal
thing, go to the nearest footpath mart
and choose from an array of frogs and
strawberries and bumble bees
splashed over chappals. There are more
formal slippers too with criss-cross
straps or even store slippers such as
Ipanema from Metro Shoes or the
casual range from Clarks. I have a fun
red pair of street chappals with lady
birds grinning in glee the only time
Id allow an insect to crawl over my
feet. Adorable, and so much better
than staid sandals! Paint your toe
nails in vivid scarlet to complete the
look. But do give your feet a scented,
disinfectant bath after, please.
So go get your feet dressed right.
The trick is to look chic! Even if
youre just jumping over a puddle.

shoes. Even during the monsoons,

when others trooped in, lugging
water-logged boats on their feet,
Shireen tottered around in dainty
strappy satin heels, her feet always
looking freshly pedicured. Her secret
was out, when someone else noticed
her walking in the earliest, in a pair of
old boots. Shed get into office, push
them into a bag at her feet, and pull
out her dainties for the day. Not a bad
idea, at all!

n Spa therapies aid the body release stress and tension by
increasing the flow of oxygen and blood circulation.

n Therapies are also known to help the muscular, skeletal,
digestive, circulatory, respiratory, endocrine, lymphatic,

emotional, mental and nervous systems perform better,
eliminating feelings of fatigue, heaviness, tightness of
muscles and stiffness.
n A quality spa body massage reduces blood pressure,
boosts immunity, decreases the harmful stress hormones
and raises the mood-elevating brain chemicals such
as serotonin.
n Some spas offer Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD), a
gentle Swedish or remedial massage with rhythmic pumping
techniques to move the skin in the direction of the lymph
flow. This stimulates the lymphatic vessels, which
play a key role in delivering nutrients,
antibodies and other immune constituents
to the tissue cells of the body.

Other popular treatments in a spa are

body wraps and mud baths. They too help
improve the texture and appearance
of your skin. The benefits of body
wraps may include body contouring,
detoxification, temporary inch loss, skin
tightening and softening, and is also
known to boost the lymphatic system
and metabolism. Mud-related therapies
help in body tightening, clarifying and
exfoliating the skin, and aids in
brightening the skin, giving it an even
tone. The latest trend is an explosion of
medi spas, a combination of spa therapies
with cosmetic dermatology procedures
such as botox and fillers. Some of these
are run by doctors/naturopaths
themselves, while some employ experts
to deliver these services.

I Would Rather
Be A Good Mother
Than Best Friend
he f irst thing that I

notice when I enter
Sharmila Tagores house
in Pataudi, Haryana (the
royal seat of her husband,
the late Nawab Mansoor Ali Khan), is
the air of quiet and order. No loud
voices, no banging doors, no asinine
chatter. Clearly, the household reflects
the Begums dignity and poise. Her
penchant for perfection is evident as
she sits at her dressing table, styling
her hair for the shoot exactly as she
likes it (she doesnt let our stylist come
within a foot of her).
As I begin asking her questions, I
find Sharmila is as focussed on our
conversation as she is on her hair.
Thats the kind of multitasking she has
mastered down the years as she
balanced her career, motherhood and
being wife to Nawab Pataudi, one of
Indias finest cricketers and a celebrity
in his own right.
000
Managing Time
Being a mother, according to Sharmila,

is all about setting your priorities and
dividing your time carefully. Once Saif
was born, I started doing fewer films.
I think its important to be a hands-on
mother. It is worth putting your work
on hold for a few months. To keep
awake and change their nappies.
Heres what she has to say to young
mothers: Youll get to know your child
well and begin to understand his or her
temperament in those very first few
months of their lives.
A s a you ng work i ng mot her,
Sharmila began to edit out all that was
not strictly necessary from her life. If
you sincerely want to do something
you find the time for it, she says.
Though she continued to act in films
Amar Prem after Saif was born; Griha
Pravesh after Sabas birth; and New
Delhi Times after Soha came along it
was on her own terms. She stopped
attending premiers and after-shoot

parties, gave no interviews, and
became even more fastidious about
the films she signed. I realised a few
films less, a few lakhs less, simply
didnt matter. Sharmilas second-born,
daughter Saba who lives in Delhi with
her, asserts that she never felt deprived
of her mothers presence. In the years
Soha and I were growing up, Amma
had more or less retired. She spent a lot
of time with us, though with Bhai, she
was still working.
Extended Bonding
Sharmila puts little faith in the nuclear

family module that we see around us
today. Though she lived in Mumbai
with her husband for a few years after
their marriage, they soon relocated to
Delhi to be with his mother. With
visitors pouring in, Saif, Saba and Soha
absorbed inf luences from their
extended family. We celebrated Eid,

Actor and mother, Sharmila Tagore, believes motherhood

defines only one aspect of who she is. Through her and
daughter Saba, we discover how this family of strong and
successful individuals has honed the art of staying connected
while being fiercely independent 0gDO\RO\O;OZV]bÒ

Diwali and Christmas together and

the children interacted with the entire
family. Some people were nice and
others not so nice, so they began to
understand that everyone even in a
family is not the same.
The children also learnt to share
and bond with cousins, aunts and
uncles. This is lacking in todays
insular families people go on about
my room, my bed, my towel. I dont
mind if anyone sleeps in my bedroom
or uses my bathroom. Even though
we were fortunate to have a biggish
house, there were times people slept
on the floor. Nobody questioned the
sharing, and thats what we continue
to do.
she would need to be when she decided

to become a jewellery designer. Her
parents quietly explained to her that
they didnt have a clue about the
business; that they couldnt possibly
set up a shop for her; and that she was
expected to make a go of her career on
her own. My parents were very
supportive but on the whole, its been
my own journey, says Saba. Her other
two more famous siblings, have also
had to make it on their own in the cutthroat world of Hindi cinema. Being
the son of the legenda r y actor,
Sharmila Tagore, gave Saif an initial
edge, but it was his own blood, sweat
and toil, that placed him in the A-list of
Bollywood, after a spate of flops.
Middle-class Values
To The Manner Born
Despite being heirs to the Nawab of

Pataudi and Sharmila Tagore, who
hails from the illustrious family of
Nobel laureate, Rabindranath Tagore,
Saif, Saba and Soha, were brought up to
be as normal as possible. Their
upbringing wasnt about designer
clothes and cars and high-maintenance
lifestyles. We have tried to instill an
appreciation of value in them value
for education, hard work and honesty.
We wanted them to be independent,
realistic, and to be able to earn their
own way through life. Self-worth
comes from ones own dignity, not from
your parents money. Saba found out
exactly how realistic and independent
BVSaWabSàAOPOA]VO
000
According to Saba, tameez, tehzeeb

and discipline, have been the building
blocks of their childhood years. Rules
and regulations were always there for
everything: Obser ving bedtime;
sweets and Campa Cola only on a
Sunday; greeting our grandparents
politely. We werent spoilt. We were
taught to respect our elders as well as
each other. Soha calls me Aapa... Even
if we were in the middle of a fight, she
would call me Aapa and it would be
very funny. Saif might be a party
animal, but he is always seen doing
his Salaam Ammi even in public.
Also, violent fights and abusing were
simply not tolerated.
AVO`[WZOeWbVA]VOObOTc\QbW]\
Grateful for the strict upbringing

that has helped the three siblings
become accomplished and successful
individuals, Saba laments the fact that
several parents today dont even know
what discipline is. To be friends with
your children, you cant lose out on
the discipline. Become their friend,
but first get the parenting right!
Sharmila too, agrees that shed rather
be a mother to her children than their
best friend. Im there for my children
if they need support or advice. But if a
child of mine is going through a bad
time and confides in me, I will only
feel concern. A friend on the other
hand can coax them out of their
worries with a Forget it, lets go out
to a party! A parent can never really
be their childs best friend.
Sharmila does not believe in doling
out too much advice either. When I ask
her if she gives her daughters dating or
relationship advice, she asks me in
shocked tones if I mean she should be
teaching her girls how to woo a man!
I quickly regroup and inquire if shes
talked to them about the possible
pitfalls and how to avoid them. She
swiftly rebuts that she has faith in her
daug hters com mon sense a nd
intelligence to work such things out for
themselves. Dating is such a Western
concept. You usually have friends and
friendship is not gender-specific. I let
my daughters grow up without putting
any suspicions regarding men into

their minds. Sharmila shares a warm

and loving relationship with her sons
children, Sara, 17 and Ibrahim, 11,
who live in Mumba i w ith their
mother, actor Amrita Singh, Saifs
former wife. We see them as much as
we can and regularly talk over the
phone. Saif is all set to tie the knot
with actor Kareena Kapoor later this
year, and to all accounts, she is happily
adjusted with the Pataudi family.
Sibling Revelry
Even though they now live in separate

cities and lead busy lives of their own,
Saif, Saba and Soha, manage to stay in
touch. Sharmila attributes their ability
to bond despite being so individualistic,
to their upbringing. How they interact
and relate to each other is the sum total

of that. Childhood memories, such as
dressing up in lehengas and makeshift
saris for Rakhi, dodging Saifs gubbaras
on Holi, and summer vacations in
London where he was studying, are
still fresh in Sabas mind.
As the more grounded and sensitive
sibling, it often falls upon Saba to keep
the communication going. If I havent
heard from them in a while, Ill send
them a message saying, You mad
siblings, where the hell are you? Soha
will reply quickly but Bhai will not.
Then, a month later, Ill get a text from
him saying Saw your picture looking
very pretty! He reaches out when he
is free. They are both mad, happy-golucky people, and often tease me
saying, So has Aapa given you a mushy

card as well? Though all three of them
dont like to be crowded and guard
their private space zealously, they try
to be there for each other. When Ive
had a jewellery show, my brothers been
there. Soha has even walked the ramp
for me. Its a rare blessing we connect
well and we give each other space.
Saba, in particular, makes an effort
to reach out to keep in touch with their
extended family and old friends. As
the one who is the repository of all the
important family information, such as
birthdays and anniversaries, it is to
her that the other two turn. Recently
Bhai was travelling to Bangalore. He
calls me and says, So the names of our
cousins are? And Im like, you have
WorldMags.net

to be knowing this! When the family

is together, they relax, catch up with
whats happening in each others lives,
and watch films.
Amma And I
As I watch Sharmila and Saba pose

together for the cover, I notice the
similarities between them an inbred
elegance, a formidable instinct for
styling, and an ability to make their
clothes look better on wearing them.
As they gaze into the camera, I realise
that those are two very similar pair of
eyes. Saba candidly confesses that she
grew up admiring her mother she
had her hair styled exactly like her
mums the day she was old enough to
make that decision; she began wearing
sarees at 16, because her mother looked
gorgeous in them, and has by now
pinched her mums prettiest sarees.
She has consciously and subconsciously
imbibed a lot from her mother her
sense of ethics and aesthetics, her
punctuality and her professionalism.
Amma is a very intuitive person; I get
a lot of my intuitiveness from her.
Combined with my spirituality, it is
definitely a lot sharper, and I tend to
get premonitions.
Like most mothers and daughters
they have their area of shared interests
as well as disagreements. A trailblazing
fashion and style icon in her time,
Sharmila has lauded as well as critiqued
her daughters jewellery designs. Shes
a good critic and sometimes shes not,
Saba laughs, but shes always been very
encouraging. Shes always pushing me
to work on better designs.
Since both of them have a highly
developed sense of aesthetics, they
inevitably lock horns when it comes to
home dcor. (Sharmila and Saba share
a home in Delhi.) Weve stayed
together most of the time, and as
individuals weve had our ups and
downs. When it comes to interiors,
sometimes Amma would want it her
way and sometimes Id want it mine.
But when we combine our efforts, it

works superbly, Saba smiles. Sharmila

wryly acknowledges that Saba is quite
fastidious in her taste. She likes doing
things in a certain way. Soha is more
easygoing shes not a very house
dcor person. Saif has excellent taste
and a very high aesthetic sense.
Some of Sabas happiest moments
have been spent shopping, travelling
and watching films with her mother.
We enjoy shopping together, concurs
Sharmila, though our tastes can be
very different. Saba has a bag fetish
and I have a shoe fetish, but now I have
to confine myself to wedges I just
look at all those heels! she laughs. The
mother-daughter duo has travelled to
Singapore, Rome, South Africa, and
more recent ly Toronto, where
Sharmila was honoured with the IIFA
Lifetime Achievement Award. I am
happy to sit in a hotel room, says
Sharmila but Saba wants to do
everything. She can actually do five
museums a day and enjoy it. Saba
agrees that she drags Sharmila out of

her comfort zone. I was like we cant
come to Toronto and not do the
Niagara Falls. I even made her do the
Maid of the Mist (a short cruise that
takes you right up to the falls). She was
like you go do it, Ill stand outside, and
I was like no, youre coming with me.
Taking Up Responsibility
Reluctant to talk about her husbands

demise last September, Sharmila
merely says that it was a time that
brought the entire family together like
never before. Saba is a little more
forthcoming. I always admired Abbas
quiet and straight-forward simplicity.
He was a gentleman, always a true
Nawab. Sometimes, I go through the
day and then a sudden intense moment
will strike and I feel his loss all over
again. People say that time heals but it
doesnt. One never comes to terms
with the passing away of ones father.
Saba feels more responsible for her
mother, almost as if she has become
the mother. Amma is independent,
shes still working, keeps herself busy
and is in no way dependent on me, but
whether she realises it or not, Im
equally a parent to her in the subtlest
sense. I know Im looking out for her.
But she may not admit to that; she may
not even be conscious of it. This is
something Saba has promised herself
that she will continue to do regardless
of where her life takes her.
S a bas r e sp on sibi l it ie s h ave
increased with taking on the role of
muttawali (the custodian of religious
a nd cha ritable proper ties w ith
endowments from the Nawabs of
Bhopal Nawab Pataudis mother
was the Begum of Bhopal), as desired
by her father. Besides, marriage is
very much on the cards when she
meets the right person. Ive been
thinking about moving into a small
place of my own, she muses. But at
the end of the day, Im there for
Amma, and she too, knows that Im
not going anywhere.

If you think you have an allergy or
intolerance, try and get a clear diagnosis
so that you can protect yourself. Heres
how the two differ
7bb[h]_[i
A food allergy is generally an

immediate, abnormal reaction to a
food or a food ingredient (called an
allergen), that is triggered by the
immune system, and has severe
(sometimes even fatal) symptoms. The
food that causes the allergy (commonly
any type of nut, mushroom or shellfish)
must be avoided at all costs. Antiallergens should be carried by the
allergic person at all times.
Symptoms of food allergy are not
uniform and may vary from individual
to individual, and can range from mild
(such as an itchy mouth/tongue,
swelling or itchy rash/hives) to severe
(shock or cardiac arrest). Other
complaints sometimes attributed to

food allergy include a headache, aches
and pains, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea,
sneezing, cramps, coughing, shortness
of breath or wheezing. The most severe
allergic reaction is called anaphylaxis.
Although rare, anaphylactic reactions
involve several body systems and result
in a collection of symptoms instead of
the usual one or two associated with a
typical food allergy. Such reactions are
likely to be fatal. Difficulty in breathing,
unconsciousness and decreased blood
pressure may occur simultaneously.
Immediate medical attention is vital.
A food allergy may appear at any age,
but true allergic reactions are most
common in infants and young children.
Common food allergens include cows
milk, eggs, peanuts, treenuts (almonds,
walnuts, hazelnut and so on), soyabean
or wheat. In some people, bee stings
and bee products could also cause

reactions. A person, who is allergic to a

particular food, may also be allergic to
other foods in related food families.
?djeb[hWdY[i
These are more widespread than food

allergies. Symptoms are caused by a
particular substance in foods every
time theyre eaten. Intolerances to
foods such as dairy or wheat, are rarely
life threatening but can cause serious
symptoms to the person.
Food intolerance or sensitivity, a
non-immunological food reaction to
food or food additives, originates in the
gastro-intestinal system and involves
an inability to digest or absorb certain
substances. Lactose intolerance and
sulphite-induced asthma are common
examples of food intolerance.
The signs of food intolerance vary
and may be mistaken for those of food
allergy. This can be confusing and is
probably why people are quick to say
they have an allergy when in fact they
may just have a sensitivity of some sort.
Symptoms come on gradually and dont
involve an immune system reaction. If
you have an intolerance, you may be
able to eat small amounts of the
offending food without trouble. You
may also be able to take steps that help
prevent a reaction. So for example, if
you have a lactose intolerance, you may
be able to drink lactose-free milk or
take lactase enzyme pills that aid
digestion (such as Lactaid).

Ask Karen
M?J>EKJ;==7D:IEJ7IJO
In the West, most people eat everything. This is

largely true of China, East Asia and Africa. Nonvegetarians tend to forget the large and growing
number of vegetarians, not only in India but all
over the world. Vegetarians are adventurous
people too, contrary to what meat-eaters tend to
think. In India, we are used to coping with veggie
diets since it is a part of our culture. In Europe,
especially, the awareness has still not quite set in.
European vegetarians almost always eat egg in
any form, and sometimes fish and seafood as well.
In India, most vegetarians do not eat egg. Often,
it is the smell or the consistency that puts people
off. So lets look at two things: Recipes made
inherently with egg and how to make eggless
versions of the same thing; and how you can have
a fulfilling vegetarian menu without pulling your
hair out over substitutes.
So what are these dishes which are usually
made with egg but for which there are
alternate recipes? In most cases, they are
desserts or cakes. Also, there is egg wash on
breads and ptisserie; egg as a binder; in a
savoury tart or quiche filling and in
mayonnaise. If we look at this list, we are
really talking about Western food
European and American to be precise.
You wont find any egg issues with Indian
and Asian food most recipes can be
made without using egg.
Lets start with desserts. In almost all
cakes, you can replace the eggs with a mix
of baking powder and soda bicarbonate. To
lighten the batter you could use buttermilk
or curd. Many people also use condensed milk to

replace eggs as a binder; this works surprisingly
well. In cold desserts, the best substitute for eggs
is gelatin. It may not give you the lightness of an
egg white whisked to soft peaks, but it will help
set your dish. You must remember though to use
the right amount of gelatin or you are likely to end
up with a very hard cheesecake/terrine.
When making breads and pastries, the French
almost always use an egg wash to brush on top of
the product before it goes in the oven; this gives
it a nice glaze. You can either do without this or
brush it with milk instead.
Another popular egg dish is quiche a French
tart with a savoury custard filling. An egg yolk is
often used in the pastry to add richness, but you
can make perfectly good pastry with just flour
and butter (and a little water to bind). Instead of
using egg and cream or milk for the filling , simply
make a thick white sauce, add other ingredients
for the filling, top with cheese and bake.

Then theres mayonnaise. While the

ingredients to make this are basic, the
process takes a while to master. You
can always use a commercial brand of
eggless mayo mixed with cream and
whisked curd to make those delicious
creamy salad dressings. When I dont
have eggless mayo on hand, I often
whisk up some homemade curd with a
little milk and seasoning and herbs
(olives, mustard, parsley or coriander,

salt, pepper and so on). And most
people cant tell the difference! You can
also use hung curd or cream cheese
(try Philadelphia and Britannia) as a
substitute to mayonnaise and as a base
for a dip or creamy dressing.
When travelling, ask for a vegetable
or pasta gratin which is anything
baked with cheese and cream. Gratins
dont need eg g i n a ny cou nt r y

(macaroni cheese must be the most
famous one). Most Lebanese mezze,
Spanish tapas and Italian antipasti
dont contain egg. Store-bought pasta
is usually eggless. However, be careful
of homemade pastas and hand-filled
pastas such as ravioli and tortellini
which often contain egg in the dough.
Pizzas are a sure shot safe bet too.

Enjoy! Its
Pouring
No, getting wet in the rain will not harm her,
so let her out onto the terrace, the garden, to
play about in the downpour. Just put in a few
ground rules: Make sure shes wearing proper
footwear for her rain romp. Gumboots are the
best; let her leave them out (to be cleaned and
put away later) when she steps into the house.
Limit the time she spends in the rain, not more
than half an hour, for sure. Once she is back in
the house, make sure she goes in for a hot
shower right away, dries off properly and
dresses warmly, maybe with light socks as
well, if her feet are cold. She can take them off
after a while. A hot drink and a snack are
always welcome.

Some children dont like getting wet, yet
fret about being cooped up during the rains.
Then there are others who are susceptible
to catching a bug this season so the doctor
may advise you to keep them indoors. Make
sure theres enough to do on the rainy day
at home. Buy interesting games, stationery,
glitter, glue and fabric which you can store
in a rainy-day fun kit. Encourage him to
let his creativity flow If he likes to read or
being read to, get him a selection of books
such as Monsoon by Uma Krishnaswami ,
Monsoon Diary by Shoba Naarayan and
Rain by Robert Kalan. If he does not have a
room of his own, for the season create a
rainy day corner for him to play in. Join
him at board games or read to him when
you can.
;/9367;/5/@23<
When theres a break in the rain, plan a trip
to the nearby nursery with your child to see
whats growing this season. Get him to start
a little gardening with his own little pots,
soil mixes and quick-growing plants. Hell
love to see his saplings grow and flower
(See the 1936 US Archival cover in the
Looking back, looking ahead feature.) Also,
read him small texts on how the monsoon
is unique to this part of the world.

If he fusses about wearing raincoats and
gumboots in the rain even when walking to
playschool get him involved in the
selecting and buying of rain wear. Hes
likely to be less reluctant to wear the stuff.
And its a good idea to let him carry an extra
set of clothes and a towel in his satchel.

High-handedness is hard to tackle at all levels, be it from
your colleagues or family members. However, know that
sometimes it is your own manner of communicating that
provokes or triggers a reaction.
Try a subtle approach when talking to people who seem
high-handed. If you are restrained and calm, you have a
better chance of avoiding unpleasantness.
If people are incessantly saying no to you at your
workplace, get to the job yourself once and do it more
efficiently and diligently; you may shame them into
realising their folly and improving their ways.
If its your boss who is high-handed, consider
switching off or blanking him out when he acts like
that. If all fails, consider changing jobs and give
HR your feedback!
If the culprit is your mother-in-law, limit
interaction to whats absolutely necessary, or try to
deal with her only when you are with your spouse.

Ritu has been divorced for six

years and has two young boys.
A couple of years back she got
into a relationship with Sahil, a
divorcee, and now they are
planning to get married. But
she is apprehensive of the
growing resentment in the boys
towards him. Sahil on the other
hand, is openly critical of her
parenting style as he feels she is
spoiling them. And every time
she tries talking to him he feels
he is being type-casted as the
wicked stepdad.
Like Ritu and Sahil, more
and more, single, divorced, or
widowed parents are coming
together to form blended
families. Naturally, there are
feelings of trepidation before
taking such a big step. As Ritu
puts it, I do want to spend my
life with Sahil but I dont
want to mess up the life of my
children again. There is no
denying the fact that the
challenges are tough but
definitely not impossible.
Heres what to do to make it less

of a trauma.
@34:31B(At the outset, it is

important for you to sit back
and discuss with your children
the kind of difficulties that
might arise.
03>/B73<B( Children might
take relatively longer than you
expect to accept the changes as
they might feel that decisions
are being made without their
consent. Talk to your children
and make sure you listen to
them. There might be teething
problems initially. But you
just hear them out without
being defensive. Be patient.
Once they begin to feel that
you empathise and understand
their point of view , they might
be more open to accepting this
new arrangement.
@32347<3@=:3( Dont
rush in with playing Ma or Pa
to your partners child. Reach
out slowly and let him get to
know you. Your partner needs
to remember that just by
having a relationship with you
does not automatically make
him a parent. There will be
times when he might disagree
with your parenting style but
it is best not to make a ripple at
the early stage.
@34@/;3( Both of you might
need to give up your dream of a
typical newly -married couple
spending exclusive romantic
times with each other. You will
have to delicately balance
t i me where nobody feels
excluded or rejected. If you are
caught in the middle, then it
could turn out to be extremely
draining for all of you.

Take care not to give your elderly pet a diet rich in too
much protein and carbohydrates excess protein slows
down kidney activity, and carbohydrates can cause weight
gain. Choose from special dog foods; at home you can give
him foods such as lamb, chicken (remove bones), rice,
barley, vegetables and potatoes.
With growing age, your pets teeth will need extra care.
Untreated oral problems can spread to other organs such
as the kidneys and heart and can affect joints. Brush
your pets teeth daily using a vet-approved
toothpaste, or get it done at the vet clinic. You can
opt for scaling of his teeth, but make sure to
discuss this thoroughly with your vet, since it
involves the use of local anaesthesia.
Your pet should be groomed (cleaned and
brushed) daily. This will help you detect any
lumps under the skin or the presence of
external parasites such as ticks and fleas.
Exercise is important he must not be
allowed to become obese. But make sure not
to exercise him for more than 30 minutes at a
stretch and do so in the shade.
Or, write in your questions, along with a photograph of you and your
pe t, to ghindia@intoday.com, or GOOD HOUSEKEEPING, 3rd Floor,

into an autorickshaw.
Now for the uninitiated, which we
were at that point, Goa has two distinct
p a r t s . Nor t h G o a i s t he mor e
happening part. South Goa is for
the family type. The autorickshaw
driver deposited us at a hig hly
affordable hotel just `500 a night
but in South Goa! Our smiles turned
into scowls when we realised that we
were strategically located a good 60km
away from where all the action was!

Then once again, inspiration struck.
We hired a scooter from Peter, who
lived just around the corner, and
vroomed off toward the North. The
rain came down hard, blinding at
times. But instead of dampening our
spirits, it ignited an incredible sense of
romance in us. The ingredients had all
come together magically: Open road,
peppered with forests and glimpses of
local life; soaked-to-the-bone bodies,
and above all, a priceless sense of
liberation and happiness!
For three days, we took this road
trip back and forth, stopping by at local
stalls no guide-book ever tells you
about; tucking voraciously into a fish
fry here, a prawn curry there, and a hot

cuppa almost anywhere! My husband
and I had some of our best conversations
screaming over the din of pelting rain,
riding across the green Goan landscape.
We saw Goa at its beautiful and
vulnerable best.
Once our three days in South Goa
ended, we moved across to the North,
plunging into party pleasures but
missing our daily rides. More than
anything else, the trip taught us the art
of making the best of a potentially
unhappy situation. It brought us home
to the truth of Lao Tzus oft-quoted
words A good traveller has no fixed
plans, and is not intent upon arriving.
Couldnt agree more.

O\RU]b[O``WSR In the lattice work
of my memories, rainy moments are
studded like filigree. Those days of
coming back from school drenched in
the downpour... Lying down in the
118
lawn, lulled by the rain-kissed breeze.

On the downside side, the season
brought with it a clutch of miseries,
from power failure to mosquito bites.
But looking back now, those little
hardships taught us to see beauty
juxtaposed against discomfort.
With each passing year, I fell a little

more in love with the rains. So when
the time came to plan our wedding,
setting the date was a no-brainer: it
would be June, when Varanasi is at its
rain-splashed best! There were
murmurs of protest from the family,
WorldMags.net
but I thoroughly enjoyed my daily shopping

sprees, picking out saris and jewellery while the
showers poured on. The month of June rolled
around. The air grew plump with moisture and
yes, germs! Haareet came down with stomach
flu, a few days before the big night!
On our wedding night, things were as
inconvenient as they could possibly get. My
infection-weakened spouse-to-be struggled to
sit through the lengthy rituals. The power went
off, shutting down the air-conditioners. The
inverter soldiered on for a few hours, then died
out, leaving us to battle it out with the hot, humid
weather. Heavy Kanjeevarams and georgettes
added to my woes. Amidst a hundred makeup
touch-ups and countless gulps of water, I
graduated to being married!
Now, flipping through the albums of that
evening, I know that I wouldnt have wanted it
any other way far from perfect, yet so special!

My husband and I had planned a
simple, stay-at-home day. I would dish
up a lovely dinner, followed by hot
molten chocolate cake for dessert.
Afterwards, we would cosy up to watch
a movie. All of it was going fine, until
we realised that the movie we had
chosen was a terrific bore!
Never at a loss for ideas, Sahil
suggested we drive out to Haveli, a
village-themed resort about two hours
away. Before I could register my protest
at leav ing behind my gorgeous
chocolate cake, he had locked the door
and revved up the car. It was only when
we set off that I realised I was still
wearing my bathroom slippers!
Unexpectedly, it began to rain. By
then, we had reached the resort, and
for the next hour or so, we tucked into
the hea r t y R aja stha ni khaana,
oblivious of the downpour outside.
When we stepped out again, sipping
post-dinner chai, the weather had
changed. The sultry air was gone. A
delicious, rain-cooled breeze blew. I
glanced at my watch 2am; high time
we headed home. And yet, we hovered
in the parking lot, somehow reluctant
to leave. This might sound straight out
of a romantic Bollywood movie, but
both of us had this sense that the night
held the promise of something more..
Thats when Sahil surprised me a
second time. Lets go to Kasauli, he
said. I, being a planned kind of person,
did a double-take. Kasauli was a good
three hours from where we were. We
were more than half-way into the
night. I tried every tone from firm to
pleading, but my husbands mind was
made up. All my doubts dissolved once

we hit the highway again. Driving

down the highway in the intermittent
rain, we chatted all night long like the
best of friends. Thankfully, Sahil is a
very safe driver, and the divine weather
kept us feeling fresh and awake.
We reached Kasauli at the crack of
dawn, and stopped at a small but
beautiful resort. The owner mistook
us to be runaway college lovers. Sahils
cellphone pictures came to our rescue.
After the owner had established our
marital status and admired our ability
to keep the sparks alive, he ushered us
into the breakfast room, overlooking
magical hill views. Soft sunlight slid
up, warming our bodies and our hearts
as we munched on hot toast and dug
into sunny-side-ups.
We drove back to Delhi later in the
day, carrying memories that would last
a lifetime.

Mom Vs Morality
8O\S5]ÔZOY`WaV\O\ tries to sort out the battle
Today es
Challenogm
For M
EVgPSU]]RObOZZ- The biggest

chicken-n-egg debate of todays times! Is
there a God who makes you want to be
good? If not, why be good? If thats not
enough of a brain frazzler heres the worst
one: How do you explain all this to a curious
6-year-old, or a confused 9-year-old, or a
15-year-old who (thinks he) knows it all?
A generation back, children were hauled
off to temples or mosques or churches by
parents. It was a given that they should
blindly follow what their parents say. Now,
they question. And parents are questioning
themselves, and are from dif ferent
religions or no religions at all! Liberals,
born-again believers, atheists, agnostics,
fundamentalists... Whos right? And are
the others wrong?
The one unarguable truth here is that

children still need to know Good from Bad.
They still need guidelines; and they need
their consciences to be shaped. They also
need to know that its bad to hurt someone
else, and that its good to help. And every
religion in the world agrees on that.
Now comes the difference. Should they
be good because they will go to heaven? Or
good because they will have a better
rebirth? Or good because their laws tell
them to? Or good because karma will catch
up with them? Or good because they want
to avoid a screaming session? Or good
because they want to impress their
teachers? The questions never end.

As long as you teach your children
to accept what everyone else believes
in, and yet think on their own two feet,
you have done what is needed.
A rpan, an unhappy young 1st
grader, complains, Chris calls his
father during every test, Why cant I
do it?
Arpans mom is aghast. Thats
cheating! Is he on the cell phone?
I dont know, he just starts every

And if youre religious yourself, dont

stonewall them into learning their
prayers by rote, confident youve done
your job. Youve got to sit them down
and tell them why you believe in your
own God. Why you go to worship Him
or Her, if you do. And why religion is
not just a crutch for bad times, or a
magic spell, or even Just because I
do. Make them understand why its
your choice, and how strong that
makes you feel. And dont tell them
that everyone elses religion is just a
made-up set of stories!
A[[fWkd_j[Z\hedj
And what if one of you believes in God

and the other in the laws of the
universe? Science vs faith? Dont let
your children see you fight over it.
Defeats the purpose of inner peace,
doesnt it? Its probably wise to let
your children know when theyre
little that Mum and Dad might think

differently, and explain why. But Mom
and Dad both agree on whats Good
and whats Bad for you. And thats the
most important thing.
I[jWd[nWcfb[
You may of course, like A nayas

mother, lament, when the school told
her Anaya was caught abusing the
cleaning woman, But I tell her a moral
story every day.
Its as plain as white bread. Your
children will adopt more of your nonverbal behaviour than your verbal
lectures. If a son sees his role-model
father bribe a cop, hes going to think
cheating is that smart, macho thing to
do. If he sees his father give his seat to
an old lady, hes going to do the same.
And be hugely proud of his dad! He
didnt tell me how to live; he lived, and
let me watch him do it. - Clarence
Budington, on his father.
not me? The Why Not Me syndrome

is one of the modern moms most
aggressive stalkers. And soon, the
mom starts asking, Why not me? When all the other children go to
religious shrines, why does mine
throw a fit? or When Ushas daughter
is perfectly willing to have an arranged
marriage, why does mine want to run
off with a hippie twice her age? The
questions will keep on piling, you need
to take a call on the answers. Whatever
that is, make your children understand
the concept of right and wrong.
:edjX[W\ebbem[h
Its tough, isnt it, bringing up a child

in todays times when temptations
seem to be pouring out from every
corner, every Internet friend, every
shady uncle. Sometimes, we draw the
lines so black and white, that a childs
afraid to even tell us she did something
wrong. Will go completely defensive.
Everyone else was cheating, why not
me? Everyone else goes to pubs, why
not me? Everyone else drives their
dads car, why not me? And shudder!
Everyone else has a boyfriend, why

Refresh Your Bathroom

/Ô`\O5c^bO speaks to experts and brings you some ideas to get
started in upping your style quotient in this private space

A minimalist bathroom with clean lines is

contemporary-looking and is easy to clean
and maintain. Wall-mounted WC and
basins maximise space and create a feeling
of expansiveness, but this calls for structural
changes, so seek expert advice. Do not
compromise on top-quality plumbing.
Punam Kalra*, a Delhi-based furniture
designer, suggests units in a stainless steel,
or gloss finish.
Most experts also recommend a clear,
large mirror which may be difficult to
maintain but is worth the effort, especially
in a small space. Play with fancy vinyl (easy
to peel off) motifs around the edges of the
mirror. Another focus area is the lighting.
Choose a mix of spot and general lighting,
but dont overdo it, says Pooja Kaul*, a
Delhi-based architect. Keep the walls in
neutral hues, and infuse life through solid
colour accessories in sleek, stylish designs.
Consider adding a stencil border to liven up
the space.
>V]b]UÒ^VabVWaÔUS(A6CBB3@AB=197<27/>71BC@3
<EHOEKH=K;IJI
If you dont have the luxury of a separate

powder room, get your regular bathroom to
double up as one. Partition off the bath area
with a stand-up wooden partition, or a sleek
shower curtain. Put away daily use items,
such as your toothbrush and paste from the
counter. Lay out floor mats, handwash, hand
towels, an attractive tissue box, and other
sanitary-ware in a compact basket colour
coordinated makes a pretty picture. Put out
a cane basket on the floor, where your guests
can dispose of used hand towels. A full-size
mirror is a must for your guest to tidy up her
look. Make sure the main cupboard stocks
up on ample quantities of toilet paper, hand
towels and so on, which you can replenish
through the evening as required. Check that
the faucets are rust-and stain-free and
functioning optimally. Let a pleasant scent
permeate through the bathroom. A sprig of
bright flowers nothing too much to crowd
would be a dainty touch.

The most common mistake homemakers make

while shifting is that they pack every possible
household item thinking they will sort stuff out
after moving into the new house. This, of course,
never happens and you just pile up old items
even as you continue to buy new ones. So, the
first step is to declutter. This saves you time and
money as you will not have to pay extra to carry
the baggage with you. Begin decluttering at
least a month ahead of the shift.
I[b\#Y^[Ya
nDo I need this item at all?

nDo I have more of it than I need?
nDoes it need to be repaired?
nDoes it save me money?
nDo I have a place for it in the new house?
nHas the expiration date on this item passed? (Yes,
a lot of homemakers even end up carrying expired
jam bottles!)
After youve considered these
questions, start opening
you r cupboa rds a nd
kery
drawers and empty out:
C roc
'
Things that dont

fit either in size,
taste or style. They
could be anything from
furniture to clothing if
s
Book bles
a
k
Brea tries
Toile ing
Bedd
they no longer suit your taste, you have an excuse

to let them go.
Gifts youve never used. You arent really
obligated to keep everything your relatives
or friends have given you. Pass it on to someone
who will use it. Just be discreet.
Discard and throw away expired foods and
medicines. If you buy in bulk, finish off your
stash of food, toiletries and other household items
in the countdown to the shift. Paring down will
make moving quicker and easier.
Papers/documents that are more than seven
years old and arent needed for legal reasons,
need to be burnt or shredded. Donate magazines
and books that youve read and wont read again
(or havent gotten around to reading and never
will) to friends and relatives. Are you still
holding on to those old college text books and
notes? Its time you let go of them as well.
Distribute them to your domestic help or to
an NGO. (You can even give them to the
helpers during shifting.)
Sell articles you think you may get
good value for: Your old music
system, your sons nursery study
table, a wrought iron mirror, or that
(

Get in professional packers and movers

dont listen to advice that you can do
it better and cheaper yourself. You
really cant.
n A month before D -day, sta r t
scanning the yellow pages, classified
advertisements, ask friends or surf the
Internet. Get recommendations for
companies; and take at least three
written quotes from the ones which
you short list.
nDont assume the cheapest is best.
You might see it as an unskilled job,
but moving y involves a lot of risk. Find
out as much as you can about your
movers before handing over the task
how long have they been in business?
Can they provide references? Also,

Make sure that you have arranged to

have the phone, power, Internet, and
gas connection disconnected at least
2-3 days before you move out. Alert the
postman to have your mails redirected.
Give a weeks notice and settle the
payments of service providers such as
newspaper delivery man, milkman,

These days, packers and movers come

with cartons of various sizes, so
packing valuables wont be a problem.
If you have any breakable items, it is
best to carry them with you in your
car instead of the movers truck.
Prepare a master list of all the items
with numbers. Keep all important
documents, jewellery and cash safe in
a bank locker. Dont forget to share
your mobile number along with your
friends contact number with the
movers in case of any emergency.

Knowing (instead of guessing) where
each item is located will help you cook

the pantry, your cleaning supplies and
toxic substances under the sink.
@31G1:3(Dont let anything go to

battling germs, moisture is your

mount a soap rack or a wire basket.

cleaning tools ensures that you never

sleep off, however tired, without
cleaning up the kitchen.

o[Wh and the perfect time for
assessing how you did on your
New Year resolutions. With six
more months to go before 2012
draws to a close, this is also the
right time to take stock of your

that work for you. Your looking

l Rope them into family projects

w that you have the list of all
ollutions you made in January,
its time to assess and grade yourself.

Be honest and rate yourself on a scale
of 1 to 10 1 indicating poor and 10
outstanding. If you tot up 2s and 3s,
you need to really pull up your socks!
An average of 5s and 6s indicates that

them. For those who scored a n

your focus. You may or may not have
achieved what you set out to do when
the New Year rolled in, but the six
months you still have is not a short
span you can build your goals and
set targets to ensure that you end the
year with most of your missions
successfully accomplished.

When it comes to New Year resolutions, I was as good as the
next person I would make them to break them. Since my
teenage years, I have been ritually opening up my diary on
January 1 and ceremoniously listed my resolutions. I diligently
kept track of my resolutions through January, marking the ones
Id completed, adding side notes and patting myself on the back
for sticking to things. By mid-February, the determination
would start wearing off. By mid-year, the diary and the
resolutions would be gathering dust! A few events some years
back forced me to take a hard look at life and I realised that
people with plans (that they stick to) generally fare better than
those who are clueless. I became more strict with myself and saw
changes. Good changes. Positive changes. Small ones in the
beginning; big ones with time. Today, I have reached a point
where resolutions are as integral to New Year as the New Year
bash. Its July now and Im revisiting my resolutions for the year.
I start with a reality check on the parameters Id set at the start
of this year, and as suggested by GH.

I^[mWico\Wlekh_j[Yeki_d$ I met
her recently after 11 long years, when
she was visiting the country. In this
period, she had suffered devastating
loss, with everything that was hers
falling apart body, mind, career,
family, home, love, confidence. Things
were very different in 1980 when,
driven from Imphal by the insurgency
in the north-east, her family moved to
Lucknow . And the tall, tomboyish girl
became my best friend at a time I came
of age. She was 16 then, charismatic,
incisive, with genuine warmth that
paid no heed to dogma or ritual. If you
were pompous, shed deflate you; if
you were easy to scandalise, shed
scandalise you. We were all her fans.

After topping her masters in psychology

from Lucknow University, Pallavi went
on to do her PhD in counselling
psychology from Washington State
University. After her post-doctoral
stint in 1994, she joined the department
of psychology, University of MissouriSaint Louis, as an assistant professor.
Over the next decade, she went on to
do significant work in the area of posttraumatic stress disorder. It was also
during this time that she became an
American citizen.
Pallavi met her to-be husband at the
Washington State University in 1991.
Younger to her by a few years, he was a
Roman Catholic by belief and an
electrical engineer by profession. They
got married in 1994. It was his sense of
adventure and initiative that attracted
WorldMags.net
Pallavi. A serial entrepreneur, he was

involved in a variety of tech ventures.
Between raising funds and seeking
buyers, he was often travelling. In 1998,
their son was born, and the escalating
pressure of parenting, running a house
by herself, besides managing a career,
chipped away the roots of their
marriage. Somewhere, it was eroding
something else as well: Pallavi, the
mind-fixer was losing her mind.
They divorced in 2004, and oddly
enough, she stopped going to work.
J^[C[bjZemd8[]_di
Pallavi was always the doting and

possessive mother, more so because
her husband was often travelling. With
the breakdown of her marriage and loss
of her job, she became more attached
to her son. But her mental state was not
getting any better Allegations were
made that she had reprimanded her
6-year-old by hitting him. The Division
of Family Services immediately got into
the act, restricting access to only a
couple of hours on weekdays. When the
childs father was travelling, he would
be taken by the school care-giver to the
home of a third-party parent. One
day, she refused to hand him over to the
school and took him home. The police
landed up, and her access to her son
was further restricted to an hourly visit
once a week.
In 2006, she threatened to slap a
policeman unless he ensured she got
her the court-ordered phone access to
her child. Retribution was swift she
was forced to make an involuntary
commitment to a psychiatric hospital.
In 2007, on her ex-husbands allegations
of telephone harassment, she lost the
right to call her son.
Going to India wasnt an option
because my son was in America. This
did make me feel trapped because I had
wanted to move to India. But suicide?
No! That thought never crossed my
>OZZOdWeWbVVSà]\
W\VO^^WS`bW[Sa
Always the
rationalist, Pallavi
didnt need a God to
blame, or spirituality
to lean on, even in
the worst of times
mind, says Pallavi. In retrospect, there
is not a trace of self-pity in her, nor any
attempts to garner sympathy. Always
the rationalist, Pallavi didnt need a
God to blame, or spirituality to lean on,
even in the worst of situations.
Back in India, her ageing parents
could only suffer helplessly. A small
group of us did keep in touch, but could
offer little except well-meaning words
of advice. She called us, sounding
incoherent as she ranted about how
biased the American judicial system
was. She asked for monetary help, but
we got to know she spent the money
couriering petitions to US SC judges.
Some of us helped once, and then
dodged. Some, like me, dodged to begin
with. We did dole out free advice about
getting on to Facebook and Skype. We
called each other up, agonising over
how to rescue her from herself.
When hysterical, angry calls came
twice or thrice a week, often at 4am. I
had little option but to mute them. It
made me feel guilty and sad, and I had

visions of her sitting on the floor in a
cold, bare room, hunched over her
petitions and pictures of her son. I told
my wife that I saw this going the Parveen
Babi way. Incidentally, Babi was an
actress Pallavi was fond of she had
died alone sick, locked up in her flat.
<_]^j_d]J^[EZZi
Between 2003 and 2009, Pallavis life

had turned into a nightmare. She began
to hear voices. I was dealing with the
system all by myself, deeply paranoid
that my ex was snatching my son from
me. I didnt take my medicines, so my
condition was worsening, she recalls.
It was only in 2009, that she was
diagnosed with schizophrenia, and
treatment was started. Being jobless
further complicated things. I had lived
off my savings for around three years.
I borrowed money from various people
to meet my expenses. My car, too, broke
down. I was unable to pay my rent and
was evicted from my apartment, losing
most of my belongings in the process.
Between 2008 and 2010, Pallavi
moved across five homeless shelters. It
was her emergency case worker, Teka,
WorldMags.net
137
goodreads
who helped her move to Karen House
shelter, where she stabilised and started
to focus on her treatment. She also met
her criminal lawyer, Ellen there, who
got prosecutors to drop the criminal
charges of telephone harassment and
disturbance of peace, which would have
impacted her career. And also family
lawyer, Marie, who helped her obtain
increasing visitation rights to her son,
now 14. (Currently, she gets day access
for 3-4 hours twice a week, and one
overnight stay on weekends.)
Ed[8bem7\j[h7dej^[h
Pallavi carried little baggage except

the single-minded determination to
get custody of her only child. She felt
low and unstable, but it also opened
up a new world to her, where she found
new friends and empathy. While at
Karen House, I got to know that my ex
had remarried and had a child on the
way, and that made me very sad as it
marked an end of a chapter in my life.
Today, we relate on a very professional
basis, specific to child care.
By 2010, Pallavis mental health was
getting better, she had a roof over her
head, and was getting more access to
her child. Criminal charges had been
dropped, and tax issues sorted out. And
thats when cancer struck. Diagnosed
with stage 2 breast cancer, she
underwent chemotherapy, followed by
an oophorectomy (removal of ovaries,
that is a possible trigger for recurrence
of breast cancer). Then, there was a
double mastectomy (removal of both
breasts), radiation therapy, and finally,
reconstructive surgery where she was
given silicone implants. I was worried
about my son when I got to know about

!2c`W\UVS`dWaWbb]:cQY\]eW\''
my illness, because initially, I didnt

know if I was terminal.
For all the talk about family
providing a support system, in India,
Pallavi couldnt have received the
kind of professional care she got in
her adopted country. But it is also true
that in the US, she was part of clinical
trials for certain drugs as they came
free. There are guinea pigs even in the
most advanced societies. You just
have to be in a desperate situation and
badly off.
Beea_d]7^[WZ
Pallavis plans for the future are fairly

basic self-preservation and keeping
in close touch with her son. I count my
blessings, and the biggest one is that I
have my son. If they had sent me to a
mental hospital, I might not have had
I count my blessings, and the biggest is that

I have my son. Had I lost rights to visit him,
it would have been a fate worse than death
138
any visitation rights. That would have

been a fate worse than death. On
whether she is hoping to meet someone
special, she says, Just my son, hes very
special! He has been a constant source
of strength throughout my troubled
period, and even till now.
She is on disability funding, and now
does part-time research work in a
community mental health centre. Her
disability benefits will be reviewed in
September this year; if they are stopped
and she doesnt become financially
independent, she could be in trouble.
Pallavi has faced her fate with no
trace of bitterness or fatigue. Not
surprising that her Facebook page
quotes Robert Frosts famous lines:
The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep. And miles
to go before I sleep. And miles to go
before I sleep. I only hope my cousin
manages to keep all the promises she
has made to herself. And when she
sleeps, may she dream of nothing but
the sweetest of dreams.

Looking back, looking ahead... Gardening is a great way to bond with your little one.
Also, when she sees the saplings burst out of the seeds she planted, and grow, she will
experience a sense of wonder and achievement, as can be seen in this 1936 US cover.

4]`gSOà7WU\]`SR;]bVSà2Og Its a
hard day to celebrate when you dont have a
mom. Mine died in 1985 from cancer, threeand-a-half years after my dad was killed in a
car crash.
I was 16, and moved in with neighbours, a
family with two children Id babysat for a couple
of years. Cathy, the mother, was 30 more the
cool aunt than mom material, which was why I
chose her. Other families came forward a real
aunt in Boston, my best friends parents but I
wasnt looking for a replacement. I just needed
a place to stay until I was 18.
Looking back, I see how hard Cathy tried: She
talked openly about sex, insisting I get birth
control when I turned 17, even though I didnt
have a boyfriend. She took me senior promdress shopping at Bergdorf Goodman, and
insisted that the $300 Guy Laroche tulle-and
taffeta confection I coveted was a worthy
investment; my own mother had only purchased
items off the sale rack.
Still, the enormity of my loss hit me in the

weeks before I graduated from high school.
My mother didnt know Id been accepted to
Georgetown University, would never see me fall
in love or get married the list was devastating.
A geyser had begun to brew in my gut when
Cathy walked in. Whats wrong? she innocently
asked me.
I miss my mom, I erupted, sobbing.
Cathys eyes brimmed, and she said with
ferocity, Ill always be here for you.
I left my hometown for good that summer, but
called every few months from college. Cathy came
to my Georgetown graduation nine months
pregnant, despite the 100-degree heat, and never
once forgot my birthday. By the time I settled in
Manhattan with my first job, she was divorced
and dating the man shed eventually marry. When
I met her fianc, he smiled wide and said, So
youre Cathys daughter! I let it slide. One of
Cathys party tricks was to introduce me as her
daughter before traipsing away, leaving me with
confused strangers doing fast math. She has a
really good plastic surgeon, I would quip before
telling the real story: That Cathy had taken me in
when my mom died; that she had always been
there for me. Even when I did not want her to be.
That changed in the spring of 2009. I was
engaged, and Cathy took me wedding-dress
shopping. She hosted my bridal shower, and
suggested peonies with white linen and limegreen napkins for the dinner. The morning of the
ceremony, she spent an hour picking brown petals
off the peonies shed arranged the night before. It
had rained every day that week; Cathy kept
assuring me we could always move the outdoor
ceremony indoors. But then the gray skies pulled
apart like theatre curtains, revealing blue sky and
a sun so radiant it dried out the soggy lawn. I
think your mom arranged that, Cathy said as she
clasped the diamond necklace shed brought for
me to wear (something borrowed) with my white
eyelet dress (something new).
The following Mothers Day, I sent Cathy
peonies with a handwritten card: Thank you
for being the best mother a motherless girl could
ever hope for. I knew my real mother would
have approved.
