Today’s middle class parents are facing a severe problem of plenty when it comes to extracurricular activities for their children aged 3 to 13. There are all kinds of classes on offer.

As a response to my last blog-post on parenting, someone asked me, ”How do we explain the difference between needs and wants to children?” Tough question. Most of us are grappling with this problem ourselves. But it is a legitimate one. If you start giving in to the indiscriminate demands of a child, there is […]

As my wife and I were coming to terms with our own socialization process and frequency, we were faced with the same question for our kids. I must admit, we didn’t put in too much thought about strategizing this bit for our children. Things evolved and may rules were made as well as broken over […]

Even though I am an MBA in Finance and Marketing, I must admit that I became financially literate long after completing my education. It was a process of trial and error. It involved making some mistakes and then learning from them. Few decisions turned out to be good for me. Recently, CNBC TV18 requested us […]
