Mother's Day Gift from IGP.Com

We spend a considerable time online and tend to get immersed in digital trends surrounding us. So when I saw everyone getting excited about Mother's Day, I too decided, why not send mom something on the occasion. 

But gifting something to Mom is a tough decision for she has all that she needs. Right? Or not?
A friend suggested IGP.Com a gifting portal which has a host of gifting options for various occasions.

Launched in 2001, IGP is India's leading gifts website.Indian Gifts Portal (IGP.com) specializes in flowers, cakes, chocolates, personalized products, festival merchandise, kids, home & living and fashion categories

It also ships to multiple locations across the globe including the United States.



I went through the website, unable to zero in on to the perfect gift and browsed through the various categories for an ideal gifting idea. They have multiple categories based on the usual format and also classifications based on occasions like birthdays, mother's day etc. Basically, all the stuff has been neatly laid out and you can zero in on something without much hassle.

That was when I found a great baking set from Treo. I recalled, how mother had talked about baking pies and the need for a perfect dish to set and bake it.


The set contained a Treo baking bowl with lid, a cute looking baking glove with polka dots and a matching mat. The price seemed reasonable and I decided to go for it.


However, the order was delayed by two days. The good part was, I emailed IGP's team and they were quick to respond. I received a follow up from them, ensuring that they have contacted the courier team and the support person also shared courier details.

The personalized messages are cute additions but they made me a ms. which is sad. But the good news is that Mom loved it and is already researching for the pie recipes. I even suggested using this set to make walnut brownies, which are my favorites. Let's see how things cook up, of course, will keep you all updated.

Does India need communal parties?

I think, it was Tan's post on this blog itself, Republic Day Event, where this question was raised. My answer. YES. we need communal parties even in Independent, Secular India. Now let me take you, back to events before 1947. When India was a colony of the British Empire. The congress party, in its attempt to gain momentum for the independence movement, heavily used Hinduism, an example of which is the famous Ganesh Utsav held in Mumbai every year. Who complains? No one. But at that time, due to various policies of the congress, Muslims started feeling alienated. Jinnah, in these times, got stubborn over the need of Pakistan and he did find a lot of supporters. Congress, up till late 1940's never got bothered by it. And why should we? Who complains? No one. But there were repercussions. The way people were butchered and slaughtered during that brief time when India got partitioned, was even worse than a civil war scenario. All in the name of religion. And there indeed was cr...

Debate : Do the ends justify the means...

Note : Give it all a fair thought before you jot down... Flaming and religion-bashing will not be tolerated. Your participation is gladly appreciated. I dunno if you folks remember this incident; a couple of yrs back, the UPSC exam had a question where the emainee had to assert his views on *revolutionary terrorism* initiated by Bhagat Singh. As is typical of the government, hue and cry was not far behind... Anyway, let us look at some facts -   Bhagat Singh was an atheist, considered to be one of the earliest Marxist in India and in line with hi thinking, he renamed the Hindustan Republican Party and called it the Hindustan Socialist Revolutionary Party. Bhagat Finally, awaiting his own execution for the murder of Saunders, Bhagat Singh at the young age of 24 studied Marxism thoroughly and wrote a profound pamphlet “Why I am an Atheist.” which is an ideological statement in itself. The circumstances of his death and execution are worth recounting. Although, Bhagat Singh had a...

Cutting people off isn’t strength—It is a trauma response

Your ability to cut people off and self-isolate is not a skill you should be proud of—It is a trauma response Summary Cutting people off and self-isolating may feel like a protective shield, but it is often rooted in unresolved or unhealed trauma and an inability to depend on others. While these behaviors seem like self-preservation, they end up reinforcing isolation and blocking meaningful connections. Confronting these patterns, seeking therapy, and nurturing supportive relationships can help break this unhealthy cycle. Plus, a simple act like planting a jasmine plant can symbolise the start of your journey towards emotional healing. Why do we cut people off and isolate? If you’re someone who prides themselves on “cutting people off” or keeping a tight circle, you might believe it’s a skill—a way to protect yourself from betrayal, hurt, or unnecessary drama. I get it. I’ve been there, too. But here’s the thing: this ability to isolate yourself is not as empowering as it may seem. In...
