I don’t think if there is any ready made formula for it. However, for me, respecting and caring each other, playing together with kids, sharing responsibilities, and supporting each other during difficult times can help make a healthy and happy family.

• What is your favourite Idea of Holidaying?

It’s always challenging when it comes to plan for holidays because being a working woman and a dutiful daughter in law, preference is to go to a place where I can rest and get a break from usual work/responsibilities but at the same time being a doting mother,want a place where Kids can enjoy the most. So going to a resort in nature with multiple activities for kids is always a fab idea for Holidaying ?

I would like to spread Environment Awareness and environment friendly methods like use of cloth/paper over plastic, solar power over thermal plants, electric vehicle over fuel motors and planting more trees that can help tackling climate change. Planting more trees is one of the biggest and cheapest ways of taking CO2 out of the atmosphere.
