60 Popular Lord Hanuman Names for Baby Boy
‘What’s in a name?’said Shakespeare. But then Shakespeare wasn’t a devout Hindu who would like to give his or her son a meaningful name with the hope that he would live up to that name. The name is the first identity of a person. A person’s name tells a lot about the kind of person he or she may be. And choosing the right name is by no means an easy task. You certainly don’t want to give your child a name that will embarrass him when he grows up and even make him a laughing stock or make him want to change his name when he comes of age.
In Hinduism, naming a baby is based on the baby’s sun sign or Raashi and the name beginning with the alphabet associated with that sun sign. But generally, the parents choose not to use these names suggested by the Pundit Ji carrying out the Naamkaran or the naming ceremony and, give their children names that they want to. These days, the parents are on the lookout for unusual and yet meaningful names that find an extension to their culture, tradition and, religion as well.
And what would be better than a name associated with one of the gods? Almost all Hindu gods have more than one name and, each name with a different deep meaning. One of the most loved Gods is Hanuman, a central character in the Ramayana, and there are various names of Hanuman with respect to his many extraordinary qualities, feats, and deeds. Some of these names, he shares with the other gods also.
Hanuman, the Monkey God, son of Kesari and Anjana Devi, born with the blessings of Vayu, the Wind God, is an epitome of many virtues. His dedication, devotion, and loyalty to Lord Rama are well known. The many other virtues he represents are power, courage, hope, knowledge, intellect, compassion, wisdom, bravery, fearlessness, perseverance, selflessness, humility, humour and many more. Every name of this loved deity symbolises one of the virtues possessed by him. It is believed that chanting his name will keep away all forms of evil.
You will be surprised to know that Lord Hanuman has more than a thousand names. Many of these are long, difficult to spell and pronounce. We have selected for you names that are short and easy, have a nice sound and are easy to call out.

Feed Your Baby These 8 Foods, Or Risk His Brain Development - Doctors Warn Indian Parents!
This recent news report could be the one-stop solution to improved brain development in Indian babies. Are you ready to make your baby even smarter?
One of our most favourite quotes on women is:
(Fe)male:
noun
A person with extra iron, added for extra strength, ductility, and malleability.
While that quote is awesome on many levels, it points to an important lesson in nutrition: iron is an important nutrient that should be a part of every person's daily diet.
The benefits of iron are many and manifold, we all know that. Iron deficiency – known as anaemia – is a common disorder that has been discussed over the years. But do we as parents realize just how big a concern it is and if our little ones could also be at risk? According to a recent report of a study conducted by the Community Institute of Management Studies (CIMS), Bangalore, it has been indicated that up to 90% of children could be NUTRIENT-DEFICIENT, because their diet lacks many essential nutrients, primarily iron.
Why This Should Concern You
According to the report, iron deficiency is one of the leading risk factors that hinders proper brain development in your baby, and this cannot be reversed. Up to 90 % of your child's brain development happens during pregnancy and in the first 3 years of life. A deficiency in iron at this time can lead to irreversible damage to a child’s brain development that nothing may be able to correct later in life! What's worse: this deficiency is seen to be highest (49.5 %) in 6-23 months old children!
Micronutrient deficiency, also known as hidden hunger, is a serious cause of concern, especially in a developing country like India. Just imagine: the study mentioned above was conducted in a metro city. If 90% of the kids there are deficient in micronutrients, can you imagine what the state might be in smaller towns and villages? Scale that up to the country-level, and we are basically becoming a nation of poorly developed individuals.
Micronutrients – like vitamins, and the micro- and macro-minerals – are essential for proper growth and development of children. While these nutrients are required in minute quantities – in the range of 50 to 100 milligrams per day – the role they play in the body is irreplaceable.
Iron and Your Baby's Cognitive Development
In spite of iron being the most important and common micronutrient required by humans, iron deficiency is the biggest and most common nutrient deficiency in the world. The primary effects of iron deficiency on brain development are
Abnormal auditory recognition memory – this means the baby is not able to recognise of remember familiar sounds, especially voices (like that of his mother, father, etc.), and distinguish them from unfamiliar sounds (like the voice of a stranger)
Abnormal reflexes – reflex actions and responses of the baby may not develop normally
Abnormal development of neurotransmitters – chemicals like dopamine act as neurotransmitters in the body; they transmit signals to and from the brain and help the body to function
Diminished social engagement.
8 Super Foods To Fight Iron Deficiency
The report also highlighted why Indian diet for children has become deficient in iron. Indian diets are majorly grain and plant based, which means our intake of iron rich pulses, green leafy vegetables and meat is less than required. While our children consume macronutrients like carbohydrates, fats and proteins, they do not get enough of micronutrients like iron and zinc.
Doctors have recommended the following foods to fight this risk in children. Please make it a point to mandatorily include these foods in your baby's diet so his brain can develop at its best!
1. Green Leafys “For My Growing Son-Daughter”
Confused about the latter part? It is a mnemonic to help you remember the 5 best green leafy vegetables that are excellent sources of iron!
Fenugreek, Mint, Green Amaranth, Spinach and Dill “For My Growing Son and Daughter”
You can try our delicious recipe of spinach soup for starters. You can turn the other veggies into a soup in a similar fashion too.
2. Sweet Potato
Sweet potato is a good 'first solid' for most babies. What’s more, it also is a rich source of iron. Cultivate a taste for sweet potato early on in your child, and continue giving him sweet potato through the years. Try our yummy sweet potato kheer.
3. Amaranth Seeds – Raajgira
While the actual vegetable is good too, many kids may refuse to have amaranth because of its taste. If that is the case with your child too, you can go for amaranth seeds instead. Raajgira ladoos can be added to milk, ground in the mixer, and turned into a palatable thick kheer that your child will gulp down in minutes!
4. Green Peas
Green peas is another favourite finger food among many babies and toddlers. Green peas too are an iron-rich food that will help in proper cognitive development of your baby. You can serve them boiled, or you can make a nice warm soup – depending on what food texture your child likes more. Our recipe of green peas soup combines two iron super-foods – peas and dill!
5. Soya Bean
Roasted soyabeans can make for a great mid-meal snack for growing kids. In addition you can grind them, and add them to your child's meals. Add ground soyabeans to the chapatti flour, and you have multigrain chapatti. You can even add soya chunks to rice and sabzi.
6. Peanuts
Peanuts not only make a great finger food, they are very versatile too. You can grind them and add them to kheers, or your child's lunch and other meals. You can add jaggery and make peanut ladoos, which your child will love to eat, especially after play time when energies are dipping. Jaggery is a great substitute for sugar in your child's diet. It is recommended to keep children away from the regular 'table' sugar we use till they turn at least 5 years of age. So why not use jaggery instead? In fact, everybody in the house can switch from sugar to jaggery for increased health benefits.
Note: Make sure you don't overdo it – too many peanuts can be bad for health too! Moderation is the key here.
7. Chickpea
The best and easiest way to serve chickpea to your baby or toddler is in the form of dal rice. If you choose unpolished rice, then the rice can also serve as a source of dietary iron. If not, you can try something different and whip up a bowl of hummus for your toddler.
8. Beetroot
Beetroot is recommended even to adults who have iron deficiency or suffer from low energy levels. Cultivate the habit of eating beetroot early on in your child by giving him boiled beetroot as a mid-meal snack. Beetroot can be diced into small cubes and served as finger food. Mix it with a bowl of boiled green peas, and your child is bound to love his colourful iron-bowl!

Career and Love: How to Have the Best of Both Worlds
The impact of your relationship on your career can be phenomenal. You're blessed if in a relationship with a mature and supportive partner but be wary of someone who's envious and discouraging! Understanding the interplay of career and your relationship can do both a world of good.
Your relationship influences your career right under your nose. If you're ambitious and have set professional goals you want to accomplish, being with someone who pulls you back can be terrible. Make sure you pay heed to the following must-discuss aspects of your career to keep your relationship with hubby in top notch order!
Impact of Relationships on Career: What You Need to Know
Understand your husband's career goals
If you don't know your husband's career goals, you could be in for a rude shock. For instance, what if your hubby is very ambitious and ready to shift location with every career move, but you're more of a homebody who loves a familiar place? Talk about your short-term and long-term goals so you know just how your relationship will influence your job.
Take stock of your achievements
It's important to consider what you both have achieved so far and what you plan going forward. This will help ascertain your seriousness about your career. Do you have big aims to climb the corporate ladder while he's happy where he is? If your ambitions are in sync, or you have at least discussed them, you will be able to support each other's career graph better.
Exchange plans to achieve your goals
The next time you and hubby have a heart-to-heart, ask him if he has a plan in place to achieve his goals. If he does have a plan and is already working towards it, you are sorted. If he doesn't have a plan, maybe you could give him a gentle nudge by helping him make one. This will ensure you are both happier in your professional and personal lives.
Tell him about your ambitions
Let your man know your goals and ambitions and see how he reacts. If he's glad that you have aspirations and is eager to help you fulfil them, he'll definitely be a good influence on your career. But if he isn't really interested or discourages you from thinking big, maybe he's having trouble meeting his own goals and needs a hand.
Spruce up your daily routine
A routine in sync with your career is among the biggest factors that influence career. Do you have a set plan to start off the day and do you stick to it? If your husband is the go-getter and you're more laid-back, ask for his support to talk you into taking your career more seriously. Likewise, you could help him learn to de-stress after a long day.
No matter how ambitious you are, your spouse influences your job success. If he takes your professional dreams lightly or doesn't support them, you could be headed towards ruining your career or suffering in a strained relationship. Make sure you're on the same wavelength by discussing things and letting him see how happy having a career makes you. The simple act of talking can improve your relationship like you had never thought! Read more

Signs that You need Couples Therapy
Every marriage goes through a rough patch now and then. But there are times when minor tiffs could turn into something serious. If you feel something isn't right with your marriage, look for signs that suggest you might need marriage counselling. It could very well save your marriage!
It’s a longstanding joke that being happily married is a myth. The fact is that you do need to put in extra effort to keep your married life happy and fulfilled. In spite of being in love and caring for each other, there are times when you drive one another crazy. If things get too heated and threaten your relationship, consider couples counselling through which you can learn the cause of your problems and find a solution.
How Do You Know if You Need Marriage Counselling or Not?
Every married couple has their share of problems and disagreements. But sometimes, they could blow out of proportion and create differences in a relationship. This is when your marriage could do with some help, not just from friends but from professional counsellors.
What is Couples Therapy?
Couples therapy consists of counselling sessions that help married couples identify the conflicts in their relationship and resolve them. Many a marriage has been saved, thanks to couples therapy, which is why you should consider it if yours has hit a wall.
Signs You Need Marriage Counselling
1. You Have The Same Arguments
Do you and your husband argue over the same thing again and again? Does a normal conversation turn into a shouting match? Your conversations are not fruitful enough and you both can’t come up with a proper solution to problems - it’s a clear sign that you should consider couples therapy.
2. You Give Each Other The Silent Treatment
If you and your partner hardly speak to each other, it could mean that you both don't address your problems. This isn’t healthy since the more you stay silent, problems remain unresolved and resentment fester. If you’re wondering when you need couples therapy, it’s now!
3. You’re Too Tired for Sex
While it’s quite natural to be tired sometimes, being tired for sex all the time indicates the lack of emotional intimacy. It’s time to see a marriage counsellor and get help to rebuild your emotional bond.
4. You Engage in A Fault-Finding Match
Pointing out each other’s faults and passing sarcastic comments instead of speaking with respect and working things out is a sign that you need couples relationship counselling. The lack of understanding and anger issues need sorting before it’s too late.
5. You Seek Out External Support
The emotional support that you get from each other is incomparable. But, if you both find yourselves seeking it from other people frequently, it’s a sign of trouble. Maybe your partner misunderstands you and maybe you don’t feel he can lend you enough support. Whatever it is, a marriage counsellor can help you learn to listen and understand each other.
Marriage and couples therapy go hand-in-hand. If you feel that your marriage is headed towards a wall, sound advice and support from an experienced marriage therapist can work wonders for your relationship. You can learn to trust each other again and work through your problems. Read more
