The Power of Smart Love
Dr. Gayatri Bezboruah
As parents, we want to raise happy, successful children who will enjoy life and give us a lot of joy too. However, there is little agreement about how best to reach this goal. Is there a miracle recipe or a specific schedule that helps? Is too much love bad, is it necessary to be a strict disciplinarian? Contrasting parenting strategies arise from quite different views of the nature of children and childhood and the roles of parents.

Panbazar-through the lenses of time
Reetamoni Das with inputs from Stuti Goswami
We pass through that place almost every day…we want to get hold of the latest bestseller…no other place but Panbazar will have it in its stores…Yes, right from the school goers to the intellectual brigade there is none in Guwahati who does not take a route to the place at least once every week. We walk through the crowded footpath trying not to knock off a fellow pedestrian. The heavy traffic, honking of horns says only one thing, ‘get your work done and rush back home’. There is no time to stop and throw a glance at your surroundings, lest someone give a shrill cry of ‘excuse me’…Ah! let time hold on for a second and let me try to sneak a peek to this ever pulsating part of Guwahati through the lenses of time.
