The one question that always comes with being a parent is, ' Am I doing this right?' . Yet, the love we feel for our child is irrevocable. Parenting is probably the only relationship we'll never walk out of. We are in it forever. But today, somewhere in the rigmarole of life and material achievements, we forget these precious moments and start chasing that first place on the victory stand for our kids. Featuring interviews conducted by Mansi Zaveri, the founder of the award-winning parenting platform Kidsstoppress.com, The Parents I Met is an anthology of her authentic conversations with parents of successful individuals who made it big against all odds. What was it that they did right while raising their kids to create the person their child is today? This is what she set out to find. The challenges faced by each new generation may be unique, but the fundamental principles to overcome them remain the same. We hope that in these stories, you will find answers, advice or simply validation.
You have all loved reading them every morning. You have liked and shared them on Instagram. We have compiled all our (and your) favourite parenting quotes so that you can laugh at the fun and silly side of parenting. We know parenting doesn’t come with the most convenient job description, but it does have its fair share of humour if you look in the right corners. Now parenting is not easy but it has its moments. To make these funny moments come to light is exactly why we have created this book. Read it after a hectic day while relaxing on an easy chair sipping on a cup of warm coffee (may be impossible, because again, you are a parent), or whenever you feel low and need something to laugh about - let this book cheer you up. Pick it up for a shot of inspiration (or comfort!) when you have 30 seconds in between changing nappies and feeding time. As you flip through the pages we guarantee you're going to go “Oh! This is so true!” P.S. It’s the perfect gift for a fellow parent, who needs to smile a little, laugh a lot and enjoy the joys of parenting and the rollercoaster they are on!

I have had my days when I thought I did things wrong, when I doubted myself and felt like I needed that push from the universe to tell me that “it is okay”. Have you had days like this too? This book is an effort to give you that invisible push. That pat on the back. And a shoulder to cry on. It is a compilation of our efforts over a period of time, that you have ‘liked’ and ‘shared’ on Instagram. I have had so many parents reach out in DMs and WhatsApp saying “you read my mood exactly!” or “ I just needed this today!” That’s what this book is about - to show you that we are in this together. To show you a mirror for you to realise what you should focus on more about parenting and what you should let go of.
"Using a Humanistic Cultural Studies approach, this edited volume is the first book-length study of its kind to offer insights on the myriad representations and conceptualizations of women's body image in contemporary India"--

Since its inception in 2009,this movement ha...
