Countdown to Durga Puja: What the Mother Goddess Teaches Us 🌺 | More Than a Festival, a Life Lesson!

What if Durga Puja is not just about welcoming the Goddess—but about discovering the divine strength within ourselves?

The countdown to Durga Puja begins with Mahalaya—a time of devotion, anticipation, ancestral remembrance, and the magical arrival of Maa Durga. But beyond the beautiful pandals, dhak beats, new clothes, and festive celebrations lies a deeper story. One that can change how we face life's battles.

In this special episode, we explore what Maa Durga teaches us about courage, resilience, the triumph of good over evil, and finding our inner Shakti when life gets difficult.

Why does Mahalaya hold such a special place in our hearts? What does the victory of the Goddess over Mahishasura teach us about the demons we face in everyday life? And how can the timeless wisdom of Durga Puja inspire us to become stronger, kinder, and more fearless?

Whether you grew up celebrating Durga Puja in Bengal, miss the magic of home from far away, or simply love discovering the wisdom hidden in Indian festivals, this episode is for you!

Listen, reflect, and rediscover the power of Maa Durga's timeless message.

📚 10 Tips to Raise a Reader | How to Raise a Child Who Loves Books

I have always believed that books are more than something we read. They are places we visit, questions we ask, conversations we start, and sometimes, friends we carry for life.

As a doctor, mother, lifelong reader and author, I have seen how reading can quietly become one of the most valuable habits we give our children.

In this episode of the Healthwealthbridge Podcast, I share 10 practical tips to raise a reader and help children develop a genuine love for books.

How do we encourage children to read in a world of screens and constant distractions?

How do we choose books for different ages?

Should we insist that children finish every book?

And most importantly, how can we make reading a joyful family habit rather than another item on a child's to-do list?

These are some of the questions I explore in this episode, drawing from my own journey as a bookworm mommy, doctor, writer and author.

If you are a parent, teacher, caregiver, or simply someone who believes that raising readers is an investment in curious, independent and thoughtful children, I hope you find something useful here.
