Use this dressing for the chicken breasts. Place the chicken in the fridge after covering them for an hour or so.
Prepare a grill by heating it on medium flame. Place the chicken breasts on it and cook them well.
Take a large bowl and add turnip slices, bell pepper, lettuce, mango in it along with the remaining portion of the dressing. Toss it all together to mix it properly.
Slice the cooked chicken into multiple pieces and mix it with the salad.

AFI(Amniotic Fluid Index) - In My Pregnancy, I Faced a Reduction of Amniotic Fluid
In my pregnancy, I faced a reduction of amniotic fluid. In my fifth month scan only, doctors used to find. AFI is the score (expressed in cm) given to the amount of amniotic fluid seen on ultrasonography of a pregnant uterus. To determine the AFI, doctors may use a four-quadrant technique, when the deepest, unobstructed, vertical length of each pocket of fluid is measured in each quadrant and then added up to the others or the so-called "Single Deepest Pocket" technique. An AFI between 8-18 is considered normal. An AFI < 5-6 is considered as oligohydramnios. An AFI > 24-25 is considered as polyhydramnios. AFI level was very low below 8 so I wanted to increase my AFI. For that, I used to take lots of protein-rich food and then I was admitted in hospital. It was a very difficult situation. For one week, I was admitted in hospital. Doctors suggested some trips like RL, etc, but it did not increase, so they suggested I go to some higher facility hospital. I was admitted in another hospital for six days . Then they solved the problem and then the doctor suggested me to take lots of protein. I used to take lots of protein-rich food like grams, fruits and etc. Then I used to go for regular checkups. When my ninth month came, I took a scan, in that they found again amniotic fluid is low, then they admitted me for two days. After that, again one scan taken in that my fluid level was below 3. So the doctors took a decision to go for C-section and then in the afternoon at 3.20 pm, I gave birth to my princess Ashvedha. This is my difficult story but I was happy when I saw my baby' face so all pregnant woman should take care of their AFI(amniotic fluid index) in every scan and consult with your doctor for that. In their pregnancy, all should take their diet food. Starting itself, you should prepare a food chart.

A question that I get asked often is how we got our little one so interested in gods and goddesses.
A question that I get asked often is how we got our little one so interested in gods and goddesses.
While we always planned to raise our child with our faith, we never knew he would take such an interest.
From the very beginning we have tried to weave in religion and culture on the day to day. When he was an infant we would play a particular Ram Ji ka Bhajan that he grew quite fond of, we’ve exposed him to stories about our faith. It’s been a gradual process,
I think this is due to the fact that we have tried to incorporate religious and cultural stories within our daily routine vs making it a learning lesson only. It’s become so much a part of our everyday that it’s never felt like an extra task.
Read along to see some of the ways we have incorporated religion at home with daily practices and ways you can encourage your little ones curiosity when it comes to your faith.
👉Daily Practice
Whether it’s lighting a diya in the morning, saying a nighttime prayer together, or doing family meditation, find something you can do everyday, together. Daily rituals help us all feel like our efforts are a part of our everyday vs feeling guilty for
forgetting or not doing "enough". Our daily practice at home is to do "jai jai", say good morning and a prayer every morning before we start our day.
👉I personally do not use the word "myth or mythology" when talking about our religion and it’s teachings as I find those terms question the validity. We believe that many of these events have occurred over time and like with anything told or passed over
time, stories may have changed slightly or been exaggerated. We explain that there can be different versions
👉Make it a family effort
Enlist the knowledge of grandparents, aunts & uncles. The relationship between grandchildren and grandparents is simply magical, take advantage of this and have your parents tell them religious stories and lessons.
👉Get children involved in festivals and celebrations
