When a couple becomes the parents of their first child, it is their first experience of becoming the parents. Hence, parents also need some training for the proper upbringing of a child. But what mostly do is seek advice from their parents who themselves were never an expert, who also learnt from their parents. This is where the entire process goes wrong. Parents should be availed with some sort of training in not just carrying a baby but also for the upbringing of the child.

Narendra Modi is not just the Prime Minister of our country. But he has turned out to be a role model for the youth. So, today I would like to share 8 different lessons that I could fetch from Mr. Modi during the Corona Crisis. Narendra Modi never forgets to appreciate his people, his team, and the people of his country. He always expresses his gratitude for all the support that he receives from the people of India. This teaches us to be appreciative in all our relations say it be personal or professional. Being into the field of HR, I have often observed people being deprived of motivation due to a lack of encouragement. Besides HR is the most discouraged department in any company. Hence, appreciation should be first and foremost expression towards anyone because, without them, things would not have been possible.

In many families, especially in India, since I belong to India, it is believed that Household Chores are only meant for women. Earlier the environment was so patriarchy that women were not allowed to leave their houses to earn. It was like a privilege held by the men. However, gradually things are changing and the women are availed with the 'Permission' to work and be independent. But there is one thing that doesn't really seem to be changing that is the Household work. Even today, when women have started taking up jobs, they are supposed to take care of the household work all alone. Men after finishing their jobs take rest and do nothing whereas women help the children finish their homework apart from the household chores. So here I give 10 reasons why everyone should learn Household Chores. It is not a gender-based activity but a necessity. Today's women are working just like men, they are no more mere housemakers.
