Dental hygiene is the practices and habits that are conducted to maintain and improve the health of the teeth and gums and prevent any diseases.

For healthy tooth and gums, one should:

1. Brush their teeth properly twice a day, and remember to not go to bed without brushing their teeth.

2. Floss their teeth as flossing is as important as brushing.

  Why focusing on menstrual health and hygiene is the need of the hour? "We knew we shouldn’t be ashamed. We weren’t ashamed. We were  grown-ass women—which is obviously why we paraded to the restrooms with tampons secretly stuffed into our cardigan sleeves as though we were spies delivering encrypted information…” - Chandler Baker, Whisper Network In order to address the issue of menstrual hygiene and snub the stigma and taboos that people often attach to it, we need to understand what the process of menstruation really is.  Menstruation begins between the ages of 12-15 and continues till the woman is 45-50 years old.

  "In the age of selfishness, selfless service is the only soap that truly purifies" ~ Mata Amritanandamayi We are often asked about what exactly inspired us to start this beautiful service of an NGO. And we, being the creative minds we are, saw it as an opportunity to let our readers know the sweet story behind this organization!

As a matter of fact, Caste system came into being long after the different races of India had commingled in blood and culture…What racial affinity is there between the Brahmin of Punjab and the Brahmin of Madras?...What racial difference is there between the Brahmin of Madras and the Pariah of Madras?...I am convinced that the real remedy is inter-marriage. Fusion of blood can alone create the feeling of being kith and kin and unless this feeling of kinship, of being kindred, becomes paramount the separatist feeling – the feeling of being aliens – created by Caste will not vanish…” -          B.R. Ambedkar   Let’s begin by considering the definition of marriage. A marriage is a social event and it is also a religious occasion. It is an auspicious ceremony – a ceremony that is believed to legalise the sacred bond that two consenting partners (who m...
