My Baby is a Beauty and My Joy Forever!
Life has changed its meaning now after I got my baby as a gift from life. Life has never been so fascinating before my baby came into my life. Now I respond more to every emotion that connects him and me. I have never been so emotional than I am now. He has made me a complete woman, a mother. Thank you so much, my baby, for being everything to me. You are a beauty and my joy forever. You are my angel. God has given me a chance to be caring and responsible for you. Now the bond between you and me, me and your daddy is stronger. And I want to do is give a message to all parents that love your child. And please be conscious of every decision that you make related to your child. God will always be grateful to you if you care for your child. Never leave them alone. It is your mirror of life, what you give will come back to you in the future. Commit yourself and never fight in front of your child. Never raise your anger until it is necessary. Try to compensate with your negativity to help your child to grow positively. It will always support your child to be optimistic every time in life. Respect the feelings of your child because this will create an unbreakable bond and trust for whole life. Life is all about what you do, and that is what comes back to you in future. But a child is a life changer. Always remember that God has given you a chance to be responsible, caring, and powerful in the face of your child. Always remember that instead of your duties, job and other things, the most important is your child that has come out of your own decisions and of course God's grace on you. So respect the feeling behind it. Never compromise between job and child because your child is more important because he has given a meaning to your life. Your post defines you professionally, but child defines your whole life.

People With Sisters Turn Out to be Better People: Science Says
Do you have a sister? Then you’d know that she is sometimes a blessing and sometimes not so much (especially when she “borrows” your favourite dress). Science however, says that people who grow up with sisters turn out to be better people, so you may actually have a lot to thank your sister for.
Growing up, sibling-conflicts may be the most common and the most annoying thing to deal with at home. The fact that we know our siblings since birth gives us the liberty to get really mad at them, more than we would get with friends. But it also means more inside jokes, double the clothes, accessories and make-up, covering up for each other and understanding more things than anyone else would bout each other.
Let’s look at all the scientific benefits of having a sister and you might just want to let her have that jacket of yours she really likes, it looks better on her anyway!
1. Your sister has made you more compassionate!
How? Having a sister means that you have to share things. This makes you a more giving person. Sisters promote positive social behaviours like altruism in the way they show you affection. This is because your sister may not show it but you know she is always looking out for you. This inspires the younger sibling to naturally develop that behaviour towards other people.
2. Your sister can give you a mental health pick-me-up
Feeling crappy? Call your sister! A study showed that sisters can boost self-esteem and mental health. Sisters help protect siblings from feeling guilty, lonely, unloved and afraid. You can also count on your sister to give you real, honest feedback for anything under the sun. She won’t sugar-coat it because she will always want what’s best for you.
3. Have Decent Interpersonal Skills? Go Thank your Sister!
Younger siblings have been found to learn how to handle conflict from growing up with an older sister. They also learn how to diffuse difficult situations better. Older sisters too learn to become nurturing and empathetic as people.
“I was always asked to take care of my younger brother as early as 3 years old. Through the years looking out for him came naturally. I realise now how growing up with a brother gave me the training I need to be a better mum. I’m a lot more aware of what my son is going through. I absolutely love being an older sister!”-Radhika,37.
Brother’s who grew up with sisters are found to be better communicators, especially with women
4. You Learn to be Independent from your Sister
Since women are found to be better communicators, they tend to be more encouraging. This leads to the desire of wanting to do better despite failure. The outcome is a sibling that is ambitious and has the confidence to try things out independently.
"I was a shy person growing up with no excellent skills, just a ton of average ones. I would mimic at home and make my family laugh, I would dance gracefully. Outside of home though, I was known as a bad dancer! This one day, my sister’s friends came over and demanded to see me dance. I thought they were pulling my leg but it turns out that my sister had built up my dancing talent so much, that they actually wanted to see it! I decided to take up dancing at age 26 and I can actually give my sister credit for seeing what I couldn’t”-Namrata, 28.
5. Your Sister Teaches You to Cope Better
People with sisters are found to be happier, less stressed and people that are able to deal with stressful situations better. They are also more optimistic as individuals.
“My sister nearly ran away and got married in her early adolescence and everyone including my parents decided to hide it from me. However, I knew something was up and watched her cope with such grace that it helped me deal with HUGE issues till this date. I guess having a sister that dealt with heartbreak so gracefully gave me that confidence that there’s always a way out of problems and you just have to find it”.-Naomi, 34.
So, why exactly are sisters making you better people and not brothers? It just comes back down to how well women express emotions. Emotional expression is the key to a better psychological health.
And let’s be real, she may be the most annoying person, your parents may pamper her more and she may keep stealing your favourite clothes but she is also the one that will have your back when you can’t speak to anyone else, she will always be your constant cheerleader and also the one who can make you see yourself in a light that no one else can. Let’s not forget the silly inside jokes, imprompty singing and dancing and the make-up and hairstyle trials on each other!
She knows your family secrets, because, they are hers too! Your sister will always be your first friend and your best one!

Do You Want To Become a Freelance Writer? Use These 5 Tips By Actor-Turned-Writer Twinkle Khanna!
Whenever we talk about artistic careers like writing, painting, or music, the first thing that people will tell you is – it doesn't pay the bills. However, Mrs. Funny Bones Twinkle Khanna recently revealed in an interview how it's done, and what you need to do to make it work!
Artists have always been at odd ends with the world. Any kind of art is powerful due to its inherent capacity to move people. One such art is the art of writing. There is a reason after all, why the pen is considered mightier than the sword.
Writing is indeed a very powerful medium in which you can reach people, and if you have the gift of writing, you are indeed in a unique position to effect change and influence people. However, you'd be surprised at how it can also be a very viable career option. Don't believe us? Well, would you believe it if Twinkle Khanna said so?
Twinkle Khanna – Actor Turned Architect Turned Writer!
Everyone knows Twinkle Khanna as the daughter of Bollywood's 'it' couple of the yonder years, Rajesh Khanna and Dimple Kapadia. We also know her as an actress and a successful interior designer. In the recent years, however, Twinkle Khanna has switched careers yet again to create a new identity for herself – a successful (and extremely witty) writer.
It all started after she was approached by a newspaper to write a column for them in 2013. In no time, Khanna had released her first book, Mrs Funnybones, which made everyone sit up and take notice of this new funny lady on the block, who was more than just funny. The book made her India's highest-selling female author for that year. Today she has over 2.3 million followers on Twitter, and from what she said in her latest interview, that could be you!
5 Tips from Twinkle Khanna on Acing The Literary Career
If you have been toying around with the idea of starting your own writing career and been wondering how to be a freelance writer, take some advice from Twinkle Khanna:
1. Read, Read, Read!
“Read everything. All sorts of genres, whether they interest you or not. Read great books to see what you can achieve and terrible books so that you know you can do better than that.”
The importance of reading cannot be underestimated if you want to become a good writer. Books allow you to go to places, meet people, and explore possibilities you would not have been able to do in real life. Books provide food for thought. The more you read, the more you think, and the more (and the better) you have to say!
2. Write Everyday
“Write every day. Write 1,000 words. Then throw out 800 and keep the best 200 words.”
It is very important to show up at your desk at a certain time in the day, every single day of the week, without exception. Most of the initial things you write might be trash, but it is important you write them, and allow them to escape your system so the good stuff starts to flow. Khanna's own routine involves writing for three hours every morning – from 7.30 to 10.30. Luck favours the prepared, so don't ever miss out on showing up!
3. Keep Abreast with Current Affairs
“I read, and try and be aware of what’s happening in the universe. And then present my amalgamation of it to the world in a way that’s informative and entertaining.”
When it comes to writing, it is very important for the content to be relevant to people. Current affairs are a good place to start and look to for topics to write about, an inspiration to write. A story of a dog being rescued from a sewer might prompt you to write something about animal rights; the recent budget might motivate you to write about money management for housewives; a new movie might make you explore relationships... what’s more, people will consume such writing because it is relevant to the times we are living in.
4. Develop Lateral Thinking and a Unique Perspective
“Look at life through the lens of ‘what if’—if you meet somebody or some situation, even if it has nothing to do with you, try and think of the backstory.”
Writers are ordinary people like us. They write about ordinary people like us. What sets them apart, however, is their unique way of looking at things. An ordinary person may look at a girl's eyes and say they were black; a writer will look at the same girl's eyes and say “they were like a bottomless pool I wanted to drown in.” The more creative you get with 'spinning tales', the better you will do as a writer! Next time you are standing in a queue, look at the person in front of you – observe his clothes, mannerisms, hair, nails, shoes... and try to sketch an image in your mind about who he is. Always ask yourself – What's their story?
5. Eat Well
“Eat carbohydrates—it’s food for your brain.”
As important it is to give food to your thoughts, it is also important to give food to your brain! And the brain requires a good amount of carbohydrates to function well, at its optimum capacity. Make sure you eat clean and eat well. Carbohydrates should never be completely eliminated from your diet. So all diets and weight-loss aside, eat carbs!
Other Good-To-Know Tips
Join forums and discussion groups/platforms – they will connect you with other people who are equally motivated about writing, books, and the literary world. They will offer a fresh perspective.
Make friends with different people – do not stick to people you 'feel comfortable' with. Challenge your circumstances. You never know who may have what to offer in terms of inspiration.
Break away from the pattern – do not let anything become a habit. This is especially true with the kind of art you consume – books, movies, music, etc.
One last parting piece of advice we want to share is: do not be too hard on yourself. Khanna said in the interview,
“Some days it’s easy. So much has been happening around that it is easy to get ideas and write. (...) Other days I struggle.” Read more

A. I think it’s better that you have a sonography with your doctor because this way even I cannot suggest you because you’ve got both the test so how can we sure about what the result is going to be going to be for you to check with your doctor regarding this as sonography can actually clear the picture for you

A. Saint Line usually means positive only but for further more if you want to go ahead with a clarity on that then you can get a beta HCG on an ultrasound with your doctor because one line is usually visible and second is faint right so it is positive
