How to Make Baby Sleep at Night
Infants are known to have a sleep pattern that very often wakes them up at odd hours in the night. If you’re a new mother, this erratic sleep pattern may be causing you to lose out on a lot of sleep. Once your baby is a few months older, you will see a pattern to your baby’s sleep and you may be able to help him sleep longer in the night and keep yourself from sleep deprivation.
Why Is Your Newborn Baby Not Sleeping At Night?
Your baby’s sleepless nights may be caused due to many reasons. Some of the common reasons why babies wake up in the night are,
Your baby needs to be fed.
Your baby may face some discomfort and requires your physical comfort.
Teething may cause a lot of pain and prevent the baby from sleeping
Is It Normal for Babies to Not Sleep Through the Night?
A baby will sleep for around 16 hours each day, and most of this sleep is fragmented and disorganised. Since your baby will be getting a significant portion of his sleep during the day, his night time sleeping pattern may be erratic. Hence, it is fairly common for a baby to not sleep through the night. Typically, babies also need regular feeds in the night as their stomach doesn’t keep them full for an extended period of time, which contributes to the irregular sleep pattern.
Does Night Waking Last for a Longer Time?
Many parents are keen to know when do babies begin to sleep through the night in hopes of catching some coveted sleep. Most babies tend to develop a sleep pattern that can be recognised around their fourth month. However, some babies may begin sleeping through the night even at six weeks of age. While others take longer to do this, your baby should be able to sleep for long hours in the night around the age of four to six months.
Some Effective Methods For Sound Sleep
Here are some methods that can help your baby sleep through the night.
1. Ferberizing
A popular method used is the Ferber method named after Richard Ferber, the director of the Centre for Paediatric Sleep Disorders at Children’s Hospital, this technique relies on teaching the baby how to fall asleep on his own.
The idea behind this method is that babies tend to associate certain actions or events with sleep and will seek for the same to fall asleep when they wake up in the night. If you allow your baby to fall asleep while you breastfeed or rock your baby to sleep every day your baby will wait for the same act to sleep. This method uses a simple trick to teach your baby to fall asleep on his own.
Place your baby in his crib and leave the room after saying goodnight.
Wait outside for about five minutes, even if your baby begins to cry.
Walk in after five minutes and comfort him without picking him up and leave the room again. If he starts to cry again, wait for 10 minutes and walk inside and calm him.
Repeat this until your baby falls asleep on his own.
You can repeat this every time he wakes up in the night. You may even increase the duration of the interval before you walk back in.
Pros
If followed consistently, the method takes about three to seven days to work and has no lasting adverse effect on the baby, even if he cries himself to sleep the first few days.
Since the baby begins to associate the crib with sleep, he will fall asleep when placed in his crib.
He will begin to understand that crying does not make his parents pick him up.
Cons
It isn’t for parents with a faint heart. If hearing your baby cry for long periods is difficult for you, you may have trouble with the method. However, in this method, you do comfort the baby at regular intervals and not just let him cry himself to sleep.
Lack of consistency on the parent’s part will render the method ineffective.
Some children will not respond to the method. If your baby hasn’t responded to it for over two weeks, you can consult your paediatrician about a different method.
You may have to repeat it when your baby is older as a relapse may be possible.
2. Scheduled Awakenings
This method alters the sleep habits of your baby as you wake him up at prescribed times.
Notice your baby’s sleep pattern for a week. Note the time that your baby wakes up.
Wake him up about 15 minutes before his usual time. If he wakes up at 1 am, and 5 am, wake him up at 12.45 am, and 4.45 am instead.
Gradually, extend the time. Add 15 minutes to his sleeping time and start waking him up at 1 am, and 5 am again. Then wake him up at 1.15 am, and 5.15 am and continue this till your baby sleeps through the night.
Adding 15 minutes and waking your baby helps your baby sleep for longer as well as wait for you to wake him up.
Pros
It is a gentler approach than Ferberizing for infants who have predictable timings of waking up.
There is minimal crying, and parents have control of the pattern, and the time their baby wakes up.
Cons
The hesitation of the parents to wake their baby up. Most parents don’t find it in their heart to wake up a peacefully sleeping infant.
There are sleep experts who are against this method as they find it ineffective. The argument is that a baby’s waking schedule is varied and can render the technique inefficient.
It takes longer than three to four weeks for this method to work.
3. Reinforcing Sleep Rhythms
This method uses the baby’s natural sleep pattern to put him to sleep. The key is not to get your baby overtired and allow your baby to nap when you catch him drowsy. The method involves the following steps to help your baby sleep through the night.
Keeping the interval where your baby is awake very short. Around four months old the baby needs to be put down for a nap every one to two hours. Older babies can nap two to three times a day. You may use any sleep technique but refrain from letting your baby nap in the car or in the stroller.
Be watchful and anticipate when your baby shows signs of sleep.
Mark Weissbluth, the advocate of the method, believes that a sleeping baby should never be woken up. Even when older babies between five and twelve months take two to three naps lasting one or two hours each day, it does not affect their night sleep.
An early bedtime needs to be set to facilitate your baby’s sleep in the night. As per Dr Weissbluth, babies who go to sleep late can have trouble sleeping in the night and taking naps. Babies need to sleep by 6 pm to 8 pm by their schedule.
Pros
It uses your baby’s natural sleeping cycle to promote sleep in the night.
As per the argument by Dr Weissbluth, you will not need to start Ferberizing or try other methods and that your baby will not develop any sleep problems.
Cons
Not allowing the baby get overtired is not easy.
While it doesn’t make the baby cry, it takes a lot of time to work. If your baby begins to wake up in the night, then the effect of the process will be very slow.
4. The Family Bed
This is a co-sleeping arrangement that is very common in most countries. Also called as attachment parenting, this method allows the baby to sleep with the parents each night.
Pros
The baby has a sense of security.
He will go right back to sleep if he wakes up and feels comfortable knowing his parents are around.
It may be convenient for a breastfeeding mom as she can breastfeed right there.
Cons
There is a possibility that the baby will get suffocated by a parent or get rolled over.
The bed needs to be spacious enough to allow everyone to fit in comfortably and also have soft pillows, mattresses, comforters, etc.
No medications or alcohol that can make you drowsy should be consumed to avoid any mishaps.
As your child gets older, you will need to teach him to sleep alone, and you may then need to use a different technique.
10 Tips for Getting Your Infant to Sleep Through the Night
A good night’s sleep through the night for your baby translates into a well-rested night for you as well. Here are a few tips to help your baby sleep for long hours in the night.
1. Establish a Routine
Put your baby to sleep at the same time each day no matter what he is doing. Fix a sleep pattern. Be consistent; this will help him get accustomed to the routine gradually.
2. Keep your Baby Active and Engaged
Involving your baby in physically and mentally challenging activities, especially in the evening can help shift her sleep time towards the night.
3. Consistent Sleep Place
Associate your baby’s bedroom or her crib with sleep by putting her to sleep in the same place each day. Take out any distractions or toys and keep the light and the sounds consistent.
4. Don’t Pick your Baby Up in the Middle of the Night
If your baby wakes up in the middle of the night, do not pick him up or play with him; rather gently pat him back to sleep by comforting him.
5. Enjoy his Favourite Activities with Him Right before Bedtime
Playing his favourite songs, massaging, etc. every day before sleep can help him calm down and help him sleep better.
6. The Last Meal before Sleep should be Filling
Most babies wake up in the night to feed. If you ensure that your baby’s meal before sleep was filling, then he may not wake up in the night for feeds.
7. Bath before Bedtime
Warm baths before bedtime can relax your baby and send him to sleep. Ensure not to have any toys in the bathtub to avoid any distraction. Put him to sleep immediately after a bath so that he begins to associate bathing to sleep time.
8. Turn Off All Distractions
Everyone in the family needs to snooze off for the day to avoid confusing the baby. This can be done for a few weeks until the baby develops a routine.
9. Pay Attention to Comfort
Comfortable sleep clothes and bedding is essential for your baby. Ensure that the baby does not feel too hot or too cold in these clothes. Use cotton clothes and keep a separate set for sleep time.
10. Sleep Toy
A soft, small sleep toy that he can associate with sleep time will help him stay calm and also feel secure.
If your baby’s night waking is not interrupting your routine, you can allow your baby to ease into sleeping at night for long hours gradually. However, if you find that you could use some extra sleep to beat sleep deprivation, you can try these methods to help your baby get a sound sleep.

How to Help a Baby Sit Up on His Own
As a parent, you feel proud when you watch your baby achieving development milestones. And why should you not? These little achievements make him independent in the long run. Your baby must have started cooing and gurgling, he must have also started rolling and enjoying the tummy time. But do you know when a baby starts sitting on his own? It is also a development milestone that you as a parent, may be looking forward to. So, read on to know when a baby starts to sit up and how you can help your baby to sit.
At What Age Do Babies Learn to Sit
Babies learn to sit around six months of age. However, some babies may start sitting early, i.e between 4 and 5 months of age. On the other hand, there are many who may start sitting between 7 and 8 months of age. Therefore, parents need not worry themselves. You must remember that every child grows at his own pace. So, give him time and do not force your child to do something.
What Skills Do Babies Acquire Before They Start Sitting up
Here are some of the skills that your baby may have acquired before he starts sitting on his own:
Around Two Months of Age
By 2 months of age, your baby will be able to lift and hold up his head at 45 degrees while lying on his tummy for a few minutes.
Around Three Months of Age
By 3 months of age, your baby will lift his head and chest both at 45 degrees while lying on his stomach. His head will be steady and firm than before.
Around Four Months of Age
When a baby turns 4 months, he may hold his head up to 90 degrees while lying on his stomach. He may also try to sit using some support.
Around Five Months of Age
When your baby turns 5 months, he is most likely to raise his entire upper body while lying on his tummy. He will also be able to roll over. He may even keep his head steady while sitting (with support).
Around Six Months of Age
By 6 months of age, your little one will be able to sit with support and may roll on both sides.
Around Seven Months of Age
At 7 months, your baby will start sitting up without any support and may even shift his upper body.
Around Eight Months of Age
By 8 months of age, he will be able to sit upright without any support. By this time, he may even move his upper body comfortably and may even stand with support.
How to Teach Your Baby to Sit Up
If you want to help your child to sit up, here are some ways that you can try:
1. Tummy Time
It is very important to give ample amount of tummy time to your baby every day. Lay your baby on him tummy time as soon as he is able to take some control of his head, which generally happens around one month of age. Initially, make him lie on your lap or stomach, but as your baby grows and gets stronger, make him lie on a safe surface for some tummy time.
2. Back Time
Just the way tummy time is important for strengthening your baby’s neck and upper body muscles, back-time too is necessary for strengthening your baby’s abdominal muscles, chest and trunk. Make him lie on his back and give him a toy to play. Soon, you will see that he will start rolling over.
3. Hold Your Baby in Upright Postures (Using Support)
Before your baby actually begins to sit up, make him practice. Your baby not only gets the hang of being in a sitting position, but it also helps his neck and head to gain strength. However, make sure you support your baby’s body while doing so.
4. Use Props and Toys
You may use various props and toys to help your baby sit up. Make your baby sit on your lap by using some pillows and cushions, place a toy in front of him and help him reach those toys. You can even make your baby sit in his crib. However, do not leave your baby unattended.
Positions to Help a Baby Learn to Sit
Here are some positions that may help your baby to learn to sit:
1. Sitting on the Lap
Make your baby sit on your lap and keep shifting the support from his upper body to lower body. Move your hand from his chest to low on hipsThis position is ideal for babies who are between 3 and 6 months of age.
2. Sitting in a Chair
You can use a chair to help your baby sit up. This works well for babies who have started sitting with support but need to work on their upper body strength. A baby should be made to sit on a chair between 4 and 5 months of age.
3. Sitting on the Floor Between Your Legs
This position is also recommended for 4-5-month-old babies. Your baby has the support of your legs and chest, and in case your baby trips sideways or at the back, he can use his hands for support.
4. Sitting on the Floor with a Pillow
Surround your baby with pillows and place a toy in front of them. Let your baby reach out to grab the toy. Also, adjust the pillow to help him sit up.
5. Tripod Position
Make your baby sit with his legs apart on the floor. Place toys at a reachable distance and let your baby use his trunk to reach to the toy. This position is suggested for babies between the ages of 4 and 6 months.
6. Sitting in a Laundry Basket or a Box
Make your baby sit in a laundry basket or a box and support him from both the sides. Also, help your baby balance his body while sitting.
7. Ring Position
Make your baby sit in this position when he is between 6 and 8 months of age. Make your baby sit on the floor with his legs apart but feet joined. This position provides good support and even if your baby trips; he is able to support himself with his arms.
Things to Avoid While Teaching Your Child to Sit Up
Do not make your baby sit on swings or baby seats for longer durations. Your baby should be able to move his body to learn new skills; by making him sit in confined areas for a long time may prove to be a hindrance to his growth and development.
You can try some easy exercises to help your baby sit up but don't go overboard with it. Every baby is different and he may reach development milestones at his own pace. So, don't force him into something he is not ready for. If you notice any developmental delays, get in touch with your doctor and seek assistance for the same.

Ideas to Plan Your Child's 1st Birthday Party on Budget
Parents are always on the hunt for budget-friendly birthday party ideas for their one-year-old. No matter how hard they look, they rarely come across ideas that don’t make them look average. Understanding that the budget can be kept in control by making some out of the box decisions can help frame a low-cost birthday party as a unique and interesting one, for everybody that joins in to wish your child.
Budget-Friendly First Birthday Party Ideas
When organising a budget-friendly birthday party for your child’s first birthday, there are numerous areas that you can make adjustments in to keep the costs low, and the element of fun just as high as before.
Party Themes
When starting off on a series of less expensive 1-year-old birthday party ideas, the theme of the party itself can be quite a big saver. If your set up a cartoon themed party where everyone dresses up to match the theme, you will end up setting up a party that is heavy on your wallet. Instead, choose a simple theme like “colours” or “all blues” without a specific context, so that you need not set up numerous activities to back up a complex theme.
Decoration Ideas
One of the major ways to save up on costs is to choose the theme of the party carefully. This is because the cost of decorations will majorly depend on it. Avoid investing in items that can be used just once. Opt for generic items for birthdays that don’t mention any particular year or date as such. You can always customise them at home. Balloons and ribbons are classic items that never go out of style. If you have any decorative material from your previous festivities, now is the time to get them out. Any lights you use for Diwali or other items can be used for a birthday as well. If you do need to purchase any decorative items, choose them such that they can be used for any other occasion, too. Borrow some from your friends, too.
Invitation Ideas
Party invitations can easily creep up on your list of expenses without realisation. With digital communication being prevalent, make the best of it and forge some cute digital invitation cards for your guests. You could email these or even use chats to send them personally to each of those. If you are keeping a highly intimate party, invest in normal quality paper cards and get some cute ideas off the Internet to decorate them. Use your child’s palm as the welcome print and scribble a nice invitation over it. You could post these cards, give them to people in person, or simply use them as a memoir when your guests come to the party.
Venue Ideas
Putting together your child’s first birthday on a budget comes across a major obstacle in the form of a venue choice. Every parent wants to make the first birthday a massive celebration of every kind. The size of the venue depends heavily on the number of guests that would be coming over, as well as any activities that might have been planned for the kids to keep them engaged throughout the party. Knowing this, make sure your guest list is restricted only to the near and dear ones and keep track of how many kids might show up to the party. If you have a large home, you can demarcate areas of the terrace or the backyard for dining and games. Check if your friends can rent their guesthouses or other locations for a low price.
Cake Ideas
The cake is the centrepiece of the birthday party; apart from your child, of course. Having a special cake is where the fun is at, but getting a nice customised cake for your child is not feasible, especially if you plan on distributing the same cake to all the guests coming to the party as well. Thankfully, there are nice alternatives to this. You can opt for a small cake that is specially made for your child. Let the cake be cut during the celebrations and reserve it purely for your little one and for the kids. Get another large cake for the guests that need not be customised or expensive. You can also invest in simple, delicious cupcakes. A better option is to go to the market and purchase the ingredients required to bake the cake. Get an oven or a pan from your friend and make a large cake that can satisfy guests easily. Not only will it be cheap on your wallet but your relatives and friends will have words of praise for your cooking skills as well.
Food Menu On a Budget
Putting together the menu for 1st birthday party food is where all the thinking seems to meet a dead end. Every guest is going to eat food and there cannot be any disregard when it comes to that. Going for an all-out buffet can burn a big hole in your pocket because the billing is usually per plate and kids don’t end up eating as much food as adults. There are multiple ways to control the cost out here. Firstly, you can try and keep the birthday party at a time that doesn’t clash with lunch or dinner. A late afternoon can help you organise a party that includes some beverages and snacks. If at all you do choose to organise a late night one, focus on starters or snack items that are reasonable and can be prepared quickly. These will be devoured immediately by kids and guests. The main course can be kept light, with options like biryani or Chinese food, both of which are tasty and easy on your wallet.
Party Games
Organizing party games and pocket-friendly 1st birthday party ideas may not always go hand in hand for most parents. However, this is the best way to ensure a budget party. Most parents opt for organising party-related shows for adults and children, which may include magic tricks, karaoke night, or card games. These require a host to be present, various props to be purchased and a lot of time to be invested, all of which add to astronomical costs. At the same time, children rarely like to sit in one place for extended durations. Before long, they will be running around and playing games of their own with each other. Let adults mingle around with each other or play antakshari and other games with each other. For kids, it is best to get some mini props on rent or jumping beds that can spread around the venue and have a great time all by themselves.
Party Favours
A party might be temporary but it becomes a permanent fixture in the memory when your guests have party favours to take back home and remember it by. These return gifts are the most challenging of all since these can immediately be looked down as cheap and useless if you don't pay attention to them. Putting these together for all guests and kids can take up a major portion of your party budget and leave barely anything for the things that matter. Come up with creative ideas that can be used in multiple ways to add to the shine of the party. Rent a small Polaroid camera and take photos of guests with the babies. These photos can then be used as a party favour and can be taken home. Put together a tiny bag of items such as crayons, play dough or interesting keychains that can double up like a toy and can be used by kids.
Coming up with affordable first birthday party ideas is not difficult, but it is challenging to choose the ones that can still keep the party special and cherished by everyone. Creativity is your friend here and some great ideas can emerge from a restricted budget.

ई- उपवास...
आजच्या काळात सगळ्यांनीआवर्जून करावा असा नवा उपवास... ई - उपवास..
****************** इ-उपवास ****************
'इ- उपवास' ही संकल्पना खरंतर भरपूर जणांनी ऐकली अथवा वाचली असेल. मला नीटसं असं काही आठवत नाहीये, पण मी, मुलांना tv आणि mobile पासून लांब ठेवण्यासाठी तयार केलेल्या games ची कंपनी आहे, त्यांच्या page वर बहुदा इ-उपवास ही संकल्पना वाचली होती.
जेव्हा वाचलं होतं तेव्हा तेवढ्यापुरते जाम भारी वाटलं होतं,...... पण आज प्रकर्षाने जाणवलं ह्याचं माञ वाईट वाटलं.....
प्रसंग, अगदी बोलायचं झालं तर scene तोच ...रोजचाच ....,
रोजच्याप्रमाणे उगवणारा नॉर्मल routine वाला दिवस....,
सकाळी उठणे, नवऱ्याचा tiffin बनवणे, चहा नाश्ता झाला की त्याला smiling face ने बाय बाय करणे... आसपास मुलगी खेळत असली तर तिला कडेवर घेऊन ' बाबांना bye करा बाळा' असं बोलत जे दार लावायचं ते कामवाल्या भाभी आल्या गेल्या वर च बंद करायचं आणि उघडायचं!
मग काय मुलीची आंघोळ, तिचं जेवण, तिची अंगाई, तिची झोप, तिची शी सुसू आणि बरंच काही, ह्यात संध्याकाळचे ५-६ कधी होतात ते कळतंच नाही. मग आपण सवड काढून कॉल करायचा , केव्हा निघणारेस ऑफिस मधून ? दुपारी नीट व्यवस्थित जेवलास का ? Ok, मग निघालास की एक message कर म्हणजे तू येईपर्यंत मी स्वयंपाक करून ठेवते. (हे खरं आणि रोजचं संभाषण आहे, ह्यात काहीही उगा म्हणून वाढीव लिहिलं नाहीये)
असं म्हणत म्हणत ७-७.३० वाजतात आणि दार वाजते, की लगेचच मी आणि कस्तुरी असेल तिथून , असेल ते काम सोडून दाराकडे पळतो.... त्यावेळी खरंतर माझ्या आणि कस्तुरी च्या वयात फारसा फरक मला जाणवत नाही हे खरं !😊
दारात नवऱ्याला बघून खूप आनंद होतो, वाटतं त्याने एक smile द्यावी, पण job आणि जबाबदारी ह्यात तो इतका busy असतो की फोन मधून डोकं बाहेर काढायला त्याला क्वचितच वेळ मिळतो.
असो हे रोजच घडत असते. आज मात्र कुठेतरी वाटलं की नवऱ्याला सांगावं काय काय केलं दिवसभरात ते ! जेवण झालं होतं, म्हटलं बोलूया पाच मिनिटं.
बोलत गेले बोलत गेले,... बघते तर काय, नवऱ्याला लॅपटॉप मधून मान वर करायला तर जाऊ च द्या पण होकार द्यायला वेळ नव्हता.......
मी हसले तर खरी ,पण मनात भीषण अशी शांतता पसरली... आणि त्या शांततेला वाचा फोडावी म्हणून आजचा हा लेख !!!
जो प्रसंग आज माझ्या बाबतीत घडला, तो खरंतर कित्येक जण रोज अनुभवत असतील. मग ते स्त्री असो वा पुरुष, म्हातारं माणूस असो वा लहान मुलं... आणि ते असं घडणं आपण 'आजचं जग, आजकाल चं धकाधकीचे जीवन, आजकाल मेहनत करायची आणि कमवायचे असले की ही lifestyle accept च करावी लागते', हे आणि असे तत्सम dialouge म्हणून रेटून नेतो. हो की नाही ?....
पण आतल्या मनाला विचारा एकदा, खरंच accept केलंय आपण ????????????
उत्तर 'नाही' असंच येईल...
मान्य आहे की आजकाल IT jobs मध्ये खूप busy schedule असतं, इतर jobs मध्ये ही असतं, नाही असं नाही, पण बघा की एकदा जगून ह्या इलेक्ट्रॉनिक gadgets शिवाय...
काढा की कधीतरी वेळ त्या सगळ्यांकरता जे आपली वाट पहाताये, आपल्या एक एक शब्दांकडे, कानात प्राण आणून वाट बघताहेत तुमच्या बोलण्याची, त्यांच्यासाठी...
करा एक तरी दिवस इ - उपवास, सगळ्या इलेक्ट्रॉनिक gadgets पासून मुक्त असा एक संपूर्ण दिवस जगण्याचा एक उपवास, आगळा वेगळा उपवास.....
बघा एकदा त्या चिमुकल्या हातांकडे जे बाबा/आई मला घ्या ना असं म्हणताहेत.... ,
बघा एकदा त्या नजरेकडे जिने संध्याकाळी दिवे लागण झाल्यापासुन तुमच्या येण्याकडे , 'अगं दार उघड की, मी आलोय' अशा शब्दांकडे लक्षं ठेवलंय..... ,
बघा त्यांच्याकडे, 'जे आपला मुलगा/मुलगी/सुन/जावई
किती मेहनत करतात रोज, किती धावपळ असते त्यांची' असं कौतुकाने बघत आणि चार लोकांत बोलत ही असतात....
जेवण झालं की बोला त्यांच्याशी, जे आपण, ' किती नालायक आणि बेअक्कल आहोत आणि तरीपण तुला आम्ही कसं सहन करतो आमचं आम्हाला च ठाऊक', असं बोलणाऱ्या जिगरी मित्र मैत्रिणी सोबत.....
उठलं सुटलं नुसतं facebook आणि instagram वर feeling happy, feeling sad, feeling हे आणि feeling ते, हे खरडत बसण्यापेक्षा हे प्रत्यक्षात समोरासमोर बोलून बघा तरी....
HAshtag first rain , hashtag hot coffee,हॅशटॅग ह्यांव हॅशटॅग त्यांव हे लिहिण्यापेक्षा पावसाची ती सर आणि तो गरम कॉफी चा mug हातात धरून ती moment जगा की.... , बघा office च्या, घराच्या खिडकीतून पाऊस एकदा.... ,
Whatsapp वर सतरा वेळा स्टेटस update करण्यापेक्षा diary त लिहून बघा, तिच diary काही वर्षांनी मंत्रमुग्ध अशा आठवणी देऊन जाईल....
Whatsapp च्या स्टेटस मध्ये फोटो टाकून, कंमेंट्स वाचण्यापेक्षा(फक्त समोरच्याने आपल्या पण स्टेटस ला comment द्यावी ह्याकरता कंमेंट करणारे पण बरेच असतात बरं का..) आपण काढलेले फोटो develope करून नुसते आडवे तिडवे चिकटवा आणि जे कुणी घरी येतील त्यांच्या प्रतिक्रिया देताना चा आनंद टिपा..... ,
बघा, एकदा तरी आयुष्यात असा प्रयोग करुन,
बघा, एकदा तरी स्वतःसाठी जगून,
बघा, एकदा तरी आनंदी होऊन..... ,
बघा, एकदा तरी 'इ-उपवास' करून ......!!!
आणि हो , कसा होता उपवास हे मला सांगायला विसरू नका...☺️☺️

5 Key Social Skills You Must Sharpen
Social skills are must-haves to take you places, help you meet the right people, and get you the attention you deserve. They help you make deeper inroads in your relationships and career. Are you naturally blessed with these essential traits or do you need to sharpen them?
Smooth communication methods and good social skills make your life active, fun-filled, free from depression, and yes, very successful. With socialising and interacting being some of the most fundamental needs of human beings, modern day women are going an extra mile to adopt the skills for the same. Check out the most important social skills that promise to make your life more meaningful and enjoyable.
5 Ways of Developing Social Skills
1. The Ability to Stay Calm in Social Situations
In spite of having all the key social skills in place, if you're stressed or anxious, your brain stops functioning and you tend to become agitated. You end up saying the wrong things. It's essential to be calm and composed when meeting people or relating to them in any way. Also, any signs of nervousness, irritability or stress on your face will make others cautious, thereby making them behave differently around you.
2. Connect Well with Proper Means of Communication
The best way to enhance your social skills is by working upon the way you communicate with others. Good listening skills are a must, and leave your mark as an attractive and well-groomed person. Talking in turns, showing interest with ‘listening' noises such as 'oh yes’ or 'Uh-huh', asking for feedback about the things said by others, and so forth, are some of the many ways in which you can retain a person’s interest in conversing with you.
3. Be Empathetic with Other’s Interests and Issues
More often than not, self consciousness leads to social anxiety. This can be removed by allowing your focus to rest upon the problems and interests of others in conversation with you. Along with getting your audience more interested in you as a person, your activities, and other interests and your empathetic nature will send out the right signals and earn you many new friends.
4. How Important is it to Talk About Yourself
Talking a lot about yourself and very early in the conversation, may transform you into an instant turn-off. It’s best to stick to general and polite conversation in the beginning, move on to specific topics of mutual interest, and then get personal—only if the situation permits. For instance, talking about your darkest fears or deep desires are topics best avoided, unless you happen to be with a bestie.
5. Make Eye Contact and Smile
While talking, you need to gain the trust and attention of others by making constant eye contact, and yes smiling. It's a fact that the right social skills coupled with a direct and honest smile go a long way in breaking the ice between two people. It helps in nurturing a strong bond—one that promises to last for a long time.
Good social skills give you the confidence of interacting with others freely. So, gear up to develop all the right traits that promise to make you more acceptable and popular as a person and in all social setups. Begin today! Read more
