Top 5 Surprises That Come With New Parenthood

Thought Pieces

After nine months of nausea, vomiting, a bloated feeling, and uneasiness, and countless doctor visits, and finally the grand finale -- the excruciating pain of childbirth, you become a different person. You and your partner will start to view the world differently. Nothing in this world feels exclusively yours like this little stranger who switched the poles of your world. Welcome to parenthood. They say a woman is complete only when she becomes a mother, but in reality, a child will make the family complete. Gear up for these top 5 surprises that parenthood will throw at you.

You understand the miracle of life: You will be wondering how a small seedling like a baby evolves into a full-grown one and how on earth did it come out of you? As you grow with your baby, you feel connected to its soul, and you realize at every step -- the miracle of life. It will make you an evolved human being. It will make you reflect on every decision you've made in life and conclude that all of it has led you to this moment -- when you hold your baby in your arms for the first time and feel like a proud parent.

You excel at time management and multitasking: Even before you come out of the trance of this new member's entry will begin his demands. All the feeding and pooping will make you exhausted, but when your baby is asleep, which is most of the time, you look at his face and thank God for such an amazing gift. You get used to waking up at odd times and doing odd jobs, and slowly it will become a part of your life, and soon you will excel at it.

You appreciate your parents, especially your mother, better: Your parents will be your saviors. They will take care of your baby while you're away at work and will mind the least when you call them a hundred times throughout the day to check on your baby. You don't even have to worry because you know for a fact that they've done a pretty great job of bringing you up. You will finally understand your mother and her fears for you. All the times she tried to protect you, all the times she cooked for you, took care of you. You will fall in love with your mom all over again.

You will voluntarily want to quit your bad habits: New parents will contemplate their life choices. They will cut down on cigarettes and alcohol. Even try to quit altogether. They'll become hygiene-oriented just to save their baby from the wrath of germs. They'll come back home on time or even earlier just to spend some quality time with their baby. You will fight less, understand more. You will appreciate each other better.

You finally realize it's not that hard: Soon you'll cherish every moment and every memory of your child. Imprint it in your brains to recollect and tell your kid about it in the years to come. You'll soon get the hang of parenting and always make sure you don't repeat the same mistakes. This is the only time when you hate to take risks, and you will learn from the mistakes of others. You will be extra cautious and attentive. Soon, you will become a pro at it. All the best!

The journey of love through the ages

The Journey of Love Through Ages Every one of us at any point in our lives must have wondered, what is love? The real definition may be a mystery or not because science actually doesn't approve or have proof of love, yet people say they have fallen in love. Maybe love is like water. It molds itself to the changing situations. Let us have a look at the journey of love through ages.. Earlier (man) stages: There was nothing called love. Even if there was, it made no sense. People just lived to eat and they satisfied their physical needs with maybe anyone or anything. Later the same time: There may be...was love, but people didn't pay much attention to it. People lived with each other for the sake of living or maybe lived with the person who fetched them food. Last stages of this stage: People had multiple partners so that they had their options open! Especially m

Tech-No-Logic

Dependency on Technology There have been numerous short films, debates, discussions, and videos in the past few days on our increasing dependency on technology. Whether it's the addiction to selfies, social networking sites, games, or even general news, we are breathing and thriving on technology. The raging debate of the hour is, can we survive otherwise? If not for all this technology, can we call ourselves developed or developing? Probably not. There was a time when man discovered fire, and there was a time it burnt his entire habitat. It is now that time of the hour when the match is ignited with absolute precision, and it will have the elastic or boomerang effect on all of us. We are increasingly seeing school-going kids handling smartphones and iPhones like experts on a space mission. In the name of se

Baby We're Addicted!

In the past few days, there have been numerous short films, debates, discussions, and videos highlighting our increasing dependency on technology. Whether it's the addiction to selfies, social networking sites, games, or news in general, technology has become an inseparable part of our lives. The ongoing debate questions whether we can survive without this technology and still consider ourselves developed or developing. EFLUites, the students and lecturers of EFL University, share their perspectives on the matter. Spandana, an EFLU student, observes people walking into her on campus, engrossed in their phones, and even her classmates browse their mobiles during class. She believes that we are becoming slaves to technology, which will have consequences in the near future. However, she acknowledges that technology is a boon for handling assignments and research, but emphasizes the importance of setting  limits. EFLU lecturers also share similar concerns, as technology has led to an
