Every couple wants the best for their baby. But do they know when does the parenting start? Most parents make the best efforts to educate their baby. They select the best schools, tuitions, activity classes and universities. But, they hardly take care during pregnancy. It could be delayed parenting. More than 2,50,000 cells develop in the baby’s brain every minute. The baby’s brain develops very fast in the womb and takes physical, mental, emotional and spiritual clues from his environment through his mother. When a mother becomes aware and changes the way she spends her pregnancy, she ...

From the primordial abyss of Chaos to the rise of Zeus, from the castration of Uranus to the birth of Aphrodite from the foam of the sea, Hesiod's thousand-...
