Fresh Ink: Surabhi Varshney on Rethinking Parenting

<p>In this episode of *Fresh Ink Conversations: New Authors, Real Stories, I am joined by Surabhi Varshney, an educator and counsellor from Greater Noida who has spent 18 years working closely with children and families.</p><p>Surabhi’s book, “Rethinking Parenting: Creating an Ever-Lasting Bond with Your Child”, asks a blunt question most parents avoid: *Do we actually know our child, or are we parenting our own expectations? We talk about how comparison, control, and society’s definition of “success” quietly shape daily parenting decisions, and what it looks like to shift toward “conscious parenting”, active listening, emotional presence, repairing ruptures, and supporting a child’s individuality without turning every conversation into a power struggle.</p><p>If you’re a parent who wants less conflict, fewer communication gaps, and a deeper bond that lasts beyond childhood, this conversation will hit home—without preaching or perfect-parent nonsense.</p><p>Book Link: https://amzn.in/d/3Ux3ly8</p>

Fresh Ink: Lt Cdr Nishad A K on The Beautiful Detours

<p> This episode of &quot;Fresh Ink Conversations&quot; features an interview with Lt Cdr Nishad A K (Retd.), a commissioned officer with more than 22 years of experience leading teams, developing programs, managing projects, executing operations, and serving in senior management at global MNCs. His book &quot;The Beautiful Detours&quot; is not your usual polished &quot;success story&quot;; instead, it&#39;s a raw, honest military memoir that depicts the leadership transformation of a soldier. Nishad demonstrates how &quot;Discipline, humility, and Resilience&quot; are derived from life&#39;s challenges when rejection occurs, careers turn suddenly and sharply, and the ideal route is no longer available.</p><p>If you&#39;re a corporate executive, a military officer, or a young officer struggling with uncertainty, obstacles, or setbacks, this is your golden guide to understanding conventional leadership traits. Also, The Beautiful Detours is not only for people with a military background, but for all people, particularly youth, young adults, and children, who will benefit from exposure to inspirational stories.</p><p>The real question is not if plans fail.</p><p>The real question is, &quot;When everything is taken away from you, do you become a victim, or do you adapt and learn how to use a new way of thinking?&quot;</p><p>The Beautiful Detours will tell you that true leaders are created through missed opportunities, doors that are shut in your face and through taking detours to your destination, and never through shortcuts.&quot; </p><p>We invite you to catch Nishad&#39;s insights, so you can learn how to apply them to your own life when the going gets tough.</p><p>Amazon Book Link:</p><p>https://amzn.in/d/e2GlDMu</p>
