Are you also giving that smartphone to your child? Read it before you do it again
As a parent, it can be tempting to give your child a phone. After all, it seems like everyone else is doing it. Look anywhere and you might find 8 in 10 children with their eyes locked endlessly on their phones’ screens. It is done mostly by parents to get some free time for themselves. But before you make that decision, you should know the facts. As someone who has seen the effects of phone usage on children firsthand, I can tell you that it’s not a decision to be taken lightly.

What Does Reading Do to the Brain? The Science of Reading and the Neuroscience Behind It
We pick up that enchanting Tolkien, turn up the first page, and slip off into a world that we had never heard of or seen before. The hobbits come to us and speak about their weird ways; the elves speak and invite us to see their magical land where death is impossible; Sauron pulls us into a dark world where we shiver about the future of Middle-Earth. Such is the beauty of reading that it doesn’t let us think if we are even reading or not.

Confused about Vitamin B-Complex? You’d be no more after reading this article
Earlier, maybe a century ago, if had you asked about what is necessary for a human body, you could’ve heard numerous names of fruits, vegetables, exercise, etc. But as science has advanced, we no more talk in terms of fruits and vegetables, we talk in terms of vitamins and minerals. Suffering from anemia? It could be iron, Vitamin B, copper, or folate deficiency. Today, we know more names of vitamins than we know of fruits. And considering that not all of us hold a medical background, it could be quite confusing. Take Vitamin B-Complex for example. What is it? What are its uses, benefits, risks, and sources? Let’s learn about it in depth.

As I sit down to contemplate the reasons why one should read the works of Virginia Woolf today, I am reminded of a quote from her novel, "To the Lighthouse": "What is the meaning of life? That was all - a simple question; one that tended to close in on one with years, the great revelation had never come. The great revelation perhaps never did come.
