My small efforts for giving pets a park they need – An initiative to give pets an enjoyable place they deserve In India there are very few places where we can take our pets and they can have unrestricted access and a place to play and enjoy themselves. We wanted to create a space which would provide a good space, proper facilities and which was also properly maintained. Challenge 1: Finding an open space where no one gets disturbed by the barking of the dogs Unfortunately despite many repeated attempts it took us ages to finalise a spot. We reviewed party plots, roadside eateries and even dance plots out of desperation, but finally we stumbled upon something interesting. One of my contacts sent me the location; it was a big party plot. I went there but I felt that it was in desperate need of a makeover. Challenge 2: Need of money and revamping the place to make it pet friendly We got together and started working on revamping the place. We required a bridge, an A-frame tunnel, a close tunnel and ride, but none of the industrial manufacturers we contacted were ready to help us out. All my finances were locked into this place and I had borrowed money from many of my contacts, so we all decided to work on building up the place by ourselves and somehow at the end of four days completed it. Challenge 3: Spreading the word I began with organising dog meets at the place, but they were unsuccessful as in the beginning only 1 or 2 people attended the events. Over a period of time through word of mouth publicity, we finally managed to hold successful events with a high attendance rate. Success!!!! Today we run a successful dog lovers club in Ahmedabad and also have an awareness program that focuses basically on young children. We feed many strays given the current situation and have an active adoption centre where abandoned dogs find loving homes. I am extremely happy with the decision I took back then because of which today I am able to help our furry friends all over the place.

Provide your child with a holistic childhood. As a parent it is very difficult to monitor what your child is doing constantly, especially in this day and age. Parents are busy with their jobs and children go unmonitored eventually developing unhealthy lifestyle choices. How do we avoid this? At Social Coffee we will show you exactly how. 1. Healthy Eating: All rounded nutrition is of utmost importance for growing up kids. You should keep them away from processed food, carbonated drinks, sugary food and junk. This will help develop their taste buds. 2. Personal Hygiene: Kids need to be inculcated with the need for cleanliness, having bath regularly and also oral hygiene. They should be taught how to groom themselves and keep themselves neat and tidy. 3. Adequate sleep: Children require longer sleeping hours than adults. It helps replenish their energy levels and rejuvenate them. Irregular sleep patterns will make them irritable and moody. 4. Limited Screen Time: Parents rely on technology too much these days to parent their kids. 5. Outdoor Activities/Play Time: Children need to have plenty of outdoor activities planned for them. 6. Mental Health: Talk to your children, connect with them, discuss important issues with them. Do not at any point in time judge, criticize or make them feel abandoned. 7. Teach them to be mindful: Explain to them the importance of money, their privilege, the value of things, the need to be organized, helping others, sharing, caring for everyone, respecting others, etc. 8. Social connect: Make your child develop social skills by introducing him to your family and friends. 9. Love them unconditionally. We hope that we have helped transformed your outlook towards parenting skills just a bit.

Experts say there are five stages of grief – denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance, especially when we’re coping with the loss of someone we love. When we lose someone we are advised to move on quickly. But how is that possible? Should we be satisfied with the manner that they died in? Should we be relieved that they finally have found release from their pain? How can a normal human who feels ever be able to deal with all these things with regards to the loss of someone they love? It just doesn’t make sense at all. Here at Social Coffee we have some ways which you can incorporate to deal efficiently with your grief. 1. Take some time off: You cannot go on in a normal manner immediately after your loved one’s death. So it is important that you take some time off for yourself to heal from the trauma. 2. Get support: It is really important that you do not let yourself fall into the abyss of depression, instead get professional help to deal with your emotional traumas. 3. Maintain your health: Sometimes in such situations we turn a blind eye to our health and fall ill soon after. We should make our health a priority and not take it lightly. 4. Don’t develop bad habits: You have to be very careful to not develop the habit of smoking, drinking or doing drugs, using it as an emotional crutch in these times. In the long run these habits will only cause harm. 5. Let out your feelings: These could be any kind of feelings – be it grief, anger, happiness, etc. find a suitable outlet for them. Cry, run, shout for joy, make something interesting, but do not let your emotions restrict your movement. 6. Don’t compare: Your life is never going to be the same after you lose someone. Comparing it to others is just going to stop you from moving on. 7. Be yourself: There are many people who will leave you during this time. But you have to be true to yourself and not compromise in which direction you want your life to take. The ones who love you will stick by you through this metamorphosis. We hope you can find solace in the approaches mentioned and they can provide some respite in your chaos.

Lately we’ve been swamped with numerous incidents about animal cruelty, the elephant from Kerela, the cow from Himachal Pradesh, and the dog from Delhi or the Leopard from Assam. It literally makes us wonder, that what in the world is wrong with us humans?

Isn’t it up to as intelligent & sensitive beings to take care of those who do not have a voice? But look at us today!

How can we as sensible and educated members of our society bring about change for the animals around us?

Here are a few things you can do:

1. Create awareness

2. Raise your voice

3. Boycott animal entertainment

4. Feed the strays and wild

5. Adopt animals

And adopt only if you can keep them for a lifetime, because it is a lifetime commitment. You will have to invest your time, money, care and love just like you would do to raise a child.

We hope that you will keep these in mind and become responsible citizens.

KEEP THEM ALIVE , DO THE BEST THAT YOU CAN

A father's love contributes as much -- and sometimes more -- to a child's development as does a mother's love. ... The studies are based on surveys of children and adults about their parents' degree of acceptance or rejection during their childhood, coupled with questions about their personality dispositions. Never is a man more of a man than when he is the father of a newborn. No one in this world can love a girl more than her father. A father is a man who expects his children to be as good as he meant to be. My father didn't tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it.

Millions of people go through various kinds of trials and tribulations throughout their lives. Some make it out stronger and succeed while others succumb to the pressure and fail. But those who despite disappointment decide not to stay down but rise again like a phoenix are the ones who need to have their stories told. We give these untold stories a voice that not only motivate but also create a yearning to work harder, to fight, to better ourselves and to move forward. The conception In this fast paced world where the focus is on the number of followers, on how much is your net worth and on what you earn, it is vital to draw attention to all the sacrifices, the pain, the struggle it takes to get to that juncture in life. Not everyone has their lives served on a golden platter to them – some have to put in sweat, blood and tears to have even some semblance of success. Whom do we like to share our personal feelings with? Whom do we like to speak to during tough times? Whom do we reach out to when we are overwhelmed in a sea of despair? – Our friends (Society). And what is our go to drink during this time – Coffee. Combining these two concepts we came up with our pet project – Social Coffee wherein each individual who has impacted our lives in a unique manner gets to have representation. These heart-rending and poignant conversations are ones which not only help us relate to these people but also give us immense contentment and a glimmer of hope!
