Dear daughter, today you’re a teen,

How happy we’re, can not be seen;

It’s a feeling that’s deep and clean,

And this is true, we really mean.


Antithetically, we’re also sad,

As they say, teenage years are bad;

Can this be true or is it just a saga,

If we take it so, it becomes gaga.


You’re a gift, when God was so kind,

Created for us with the best of mind;

So loving, so caring, so intelligent with audacity,

What else was there, to have asked the deity.


Gifts materialistic, remain only for a while,

We gift you a thought, to carry life after life;

A teenager is  a bird, with wings ready to fly,

Impeding them is like, caging them to cry.


We wish you  surpass, and go fly high,

The sky's the limit, with commandments to live by.


Addictions are good with desires to succeed,

Alcohol & Drugs are bereavement weeds;

Dating is fun with norms laid down,

Meticulously, walk through the ground.


If informed, will appreciate,

Likes or dislikes, can negotiate;

Curfews, threats & punishments don’t persist,

Love, care, and respect are what we insist.


A gift of thought, for a daughter so mature,

All our love and trust, is what we assure.

Will always be by your side, like every parents do,

Oh dear daughter, we will always love you!!!

It’s not just about flexing unique tags or flexing cool titles. Names shape our vibes, set the scene, and can even determine our fate. From brands that pop off on social media to movies that slay the box office, or even courses that make you want to hit that ‘enrol’ button ASAP—names are the real MVPs. In a world where a name can literally make or break a brand, let’s dive into why those sweet titles and handles matter so much. Ready to decode the name game? Let’s get into it! Let’s kick it off with my name. If you’re familiar with India, you know how my name is pretty much a classic—like, there are literally countless people with the same name. In every class, whether in school or college, I was just another S1 or S2. Seriously, it was such a mood-killer. Everyone had a story about another S or compared me to yet another S. It felt like I was lo...

Pet lovers adore the bond with their furry friends, while others might see it as dealing with a perpetual fur tornado.
