There are lots of things which are culturally different from country to country and region to region.But I did not know about the specific dental issue which I faced just recently.It was wisdom teeth extraction. When I was in  India for what ever reason, I had just one wisdom tooth removal.I did not pay much attention ,neither did the dentist talk much about the after care.And as far as I remember it got better just like that.It happened back in  year 1994-1995. I came to the U.S.A and got another wisdom tooth removal in around 2013-2014.That time also my dentist did not emphasize too much upon the importance of wisdom teeth extraction ,he just gave me the suggestion and I it extracted.After extraction the dentist just gave me some instruction ,I followed the instructions ,it got better in few days. Last time in 2016, I had another round of wisdom teeth extraction.But this time I had two extracted at the same time.By this time I had developed some awareness about the imp...

Today my elder daughter turns 10 years old.Some times people say age is just a number.I dont believe when they in the context of older people but I do believe when people say the same thing for kids. My Daughter indeed turned 10 years old today but in her heart and action she is still a small 4-5 year old child.Small things makes her happy or sad,she gets excited as easily as a 4 year old kid gets. If you are around her you are never short on topics,she can always come up with something which will cheer you up instantly. The downside is sometimes she forgets that she should be more serious in certain areas like studies,and listening skills. Then again no matter what ,she is the joy of my life.She brings spark to my life .She has stepped in a two digit age number but for me she is still a baby who brought so much joy and happiness in my life 10 years ago on this day. May she always be healthy,successful  and happy in her life.
