Ans: Oh, my time management skills are excellent. That is the reason I can do so much… I have understood my body cycle well, I know that mornings are the time when I am fresh. This is the time when I do my dance practice or cooking & my meal plans, meetings. eg—I like to relax & unwind after dinner- that is the time I will just sit around the kids and chat with them.

Q7: What coping mechanisms have you found to be helpful with regard to lack of sleep and fatigue? 

Ans: I don’t compromise on my sleep. because if I do, my work gets compromised too! I would prefer to sleep early at night if I’m tired, get up & my work gets done in half the time I would with a fatigued body & sleepy mind.

Q8: Which song /movie best describes you ?

Ans: I love ‘yeh hosla kaise juke’ from the movie ‘dor’

Ans: I see myself teaching nutrition to kids & housewives- coz they are the ones who manage the family’s nutritional needs I see myself still dancing & teaching more students this beautiful artform.

Q10: What advice do you want to give to other moms?

Ans: Believe in yourself ! Your kids will be more proud of you when you are standing for yourself; when you take out time for yourself.As it comes to styles of parenting…. love your kids before anything else….no matter what they do in life, make them good human beings & things will fall in place.
