Comedy Hunt



Complicated lifestyles, office work, busy schedules and daily chores take up most of our time.  In the midst of all this we are never left of with enough time to sit back and relax. Sometimes we even end up spending days without a good laugh.  Life would be completely monotonous without sharing a lighter moment, opening up our heart and laughing out loud.


Laughter soothes our nerves, improves our circulation and gives us the glow. It frees us of all bondages. Personally I am a great fan of standup comedy shows. I find it very engaging and hilarious. It keeps me completely hooked up. 

 I am completely thankful for liveinstyle.com for their wonderful segment on stand - up comedy. It features my entire favorite ones like –Kanan Gill, GursimranKhamba, AshishShakya, Aditi Mittal, Vir Das, VipulGoyal, TanmayBhat, Rohan Joshi, Praveen Kumar and Abish Mathew. It’s so much fun watching these people. They all have their own unique style. Conducting workshop, taking out challenges on different topic, guidelines for you tube channel, this site has all the information one needs to know about stand up comedy.

It’s a one of unique initiative, with a different perspective; you won’t find it anywhere else.It is inspiring as well as encouraging for aspiring comedians. Along with the videos you can also find articles like “The evolution of Indian comedy”, “5 Questions Stand up Comics are Asked Every Day”, “World’s 10 Best Stand-Up Comedians”, the site has many more of such topics to read from. This has given a new dimension to the whole concept of comedy.  Everyone wants to laugh, keep up the good mood and feel calm, all this can be achieved with a good open laughter and  stand up comedy is the best to achieve these desired things.

It features stand up comedy videos which are a must watch for all. I had been watching then daily with my husband after a grueling day at work. It helps us forget the stress and suffices for a good night sleep. Another feature of this useful site is you can better your nightlife and scope out great parties, happy hours, epicurean delights and the best of clubs, bars and pubs that match your mood.

Safe Child birth






Motherhood is a feeling beyond description. It is divine to be able to produce, sustain and survive a living being inside your womb. Females so are blessed by God to carry on this beautiful task. Those wonderful nine months in the life of a lady bring in some equally wonderful changes and memories.

But the picture is not so glossy for every female, some undergo miscarriage, still births (death of a baby after 24 weeks of pregnancy), some eventually die due to various preventable reasons. A few days back sister of my maid found out on examination that her baby died inside womb, her pregnancy was 28 week old. She had terrible pain in lower abdomen which prompted her to visit the doctor. Problem with her - she was anemic, never went for proper antenatal checkups, and didn’t take proper diet, rest. She was extremely week. These are the preventable deaths, just needed some counseling and education.

More than 50 percent of Indian population lives in rural areas, with least facilities of primary health services. Some health centers are badly equipped and some lack the presence of skilled personnel to carry on antenatal checkups and delivery, taking a toll in women’s life. Some believing it to be routine task or activity skips the required mandate of precautions necessary for save childbirth. 

Lack of awareness, education, and apathy towards women is the primary cause of this menace. A weak lady will eventually deliver weaker baby, born with some or other deformity. And if a mother dies giving birth, her children will left  abandoned to basic necessities like proper food, education, love and care.


With divine blessings, she blossomed a life
With shine of love, she carried the dove
She strife and toiled the miseries of life
Her dreams were short lived and pain was longer
Looking from the fragments of her broken life
She gathered all strength her blood could hold,
Leaving the unborn with harsh realities
Embraced her baby one last time….



Latest statistics give a very disturbing data, India has the highest number of maternal mortality rate, though figures have gone down since past few years but still we are number one in it. If we want a strong nation we need to have a stronger generation, we need to follow better practices, and spread education and awareness as much as we can.
