It certainly is the wonderful time of the year when relatives reunite, celebrations brighten homes, and the most valuable time is taken to reconnect not only with loved ones but also with ourselves. However, as the year is about to end and the holiday season is at its highest, the requirements of life—which include the consumption of luxurious feasts, travel, and social engagements—can affect the health of the elderly, in particular, those who have a continuous need for care. Holy Family Hospital’s at-home services are a way to ensure that healthcare is not interrupted and the service is delivered with love and clinical precision; therefore, the happiness of the holidays is not disturbed.

Some of the main attributes of the Holy Family Hospital Holiday Home Healthcare are:

• Availability 24/7: The personal visits of trained nurses, physiotherapists, and specialized staff provide you with the care you need at home, and thus, amidst holiday traffic and the crowd, there is no need to go to the hospital.
• Senior individualized care: Management of medicines, monitoring of the recovery process after the operation, support of the chronic condition, and soft rehabilitation are some of the ways by which the elderly will be comfortable and safe.
• Comprehensive proposals: IV infusions, wound care, diagnostics, and telemedicine consultations are some of the ways by which routines can be kept even if the clinics are closed or are overwhelmed.
• Scheduling without constraints: Personalized strategies are in line with family celebrations, thus giving the assurance of peace during the holidays, which are free from guilt.

“Holy Family Hospital is committed to delivering compassionate, patient -centred rehabilitation directly to your doorsteps. Our Home Care Physiotherapy Services bring skilled physiotherapists, evidence – based treatment & personalised care plans to patients who require therapy for mobility,” stated by Dr Deepali Pawar, HOD, Physiotherapy Department at Holy Family Hospital.

A father’s health is the cornerstone of a family’s strength and happiness. When a father is healthy, he has the energy, presence, and resilience to support his loved ones through life’s challenges and joys. But when stress, work pressure, and lifestyle habits take a toll on his heart, the entire family feels the impact. Fathers often put their family’s needs before their own, yet neglecting their own heart health can lead to serious consequences—not just for themselves, but for those who depend on them most.

How Stress Takes a Toll on a Father’s Heart

Stress is an invisible burden many fathers carry silently. The constant juggling of work deadlines, financial responsibilities, and family demands can create chronic stress that silently damages the heart. Scientific research shows that prolonged stress triggers the release of hormones like adrenaline and cortisol, which raise blood pressure, increase heart rate, and cause arteries to narrow. Over time, this can accelerate the build-up of plaque in arteries, increasing the risk of heart attacks and strokes.

For fathers, this means that the emotional weight of everyday pressures isn’t just mental—it’s physical. Ignoring stress or pushing through the daily grind without adequate care can lead to serious cardiovascular problems, robbing fathers of the vitality and longevity needed to be present for their children and partners.

What to Watch For: Subtle Signs of Heart Trouble

Heart attacks don’t always come with dramatic chest pain, or pain in the arm, neck or jaw; often, the signs are subtle and easy to dismiss. Recurrent chest discomfort—especially if it lasts days and feels like pressure on the chest or breastbone—should not be ignored.

Feeling unusually full after a light meal, persistent acidity, unexplained nausea, or even fatigue during simple activities like walking short distances may all signal reduced blood flow to the heart. If you feel faint, especially to the point of having to sit down or feeling disoriented, it could be a red flag.

Men usually brush these signs off as gas, poor sleep, indigestion, or age-related fatigue. But recognising these symptoms early could mean the difference between life and death. Don’t wait—talk to your family and get checked by a doctor.

Tips for Fathers to Protect Their Heart Health

The good news is that fathers can take simple, effective steps to safeguard their heart health and, by extension, their family’s future:

1. Move Your Body Daily

Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise each week. Activities like brisk walking, cycling, swimming, or even playing with your kids can strengthen your heart, lower blood pressure, and reduce stress. Remember, even short bursts of activity throughout the day add up.

2. Choose Heart-Healthy Foods

Opt for a diet rich in whole grains, fresh fruits and vegetables, nuts, legumes, and healthy fats like olive oil and fatty fish. Limit processed foods, excess salt, and sugary treats. Small changes, like swapping fried snacks for nuts or adding more greens to meals, can make a big difference.

3. Manage Stress Mindfully

Incorporate stress-relief practices into your routine—try meditation, deep breathing exercises, yoga, or simply taking quiet moments to unwind. Physical activity helps reduce stress hormones naturally. Don’t hesitate to seek support from loved ones or professionals when life feels overwhelming.

4. Prioritise Sleep and Rest

Quality sleep is essential for heart health. Aim for at least seven hours of restful sleep each night to allow your body and mind to recover.

5. Regular Health Check-Ups

Keep track of your blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar levels through regular medical check-ups. Early detection and management of risk factors can prevent serious heart problems.

The Heartbeat of the Family

A father’s heart is more than a vital organ—it’s the pulse that keeps the family moving forward. By prioritising his heart health, a father not only protects himself but also sets a powerful example for his children about the importance of self-care and resilience. Taking these steps today ensures that more tomorrows are filled with love, laughter, and shared memories.

Remember, your family needs you to be strong and healthy—because a father’s heart is truly the heart of the family.

In India, the very word ‘caregiving’ is largely synonymous with motherhood. Historically and culturally, Indian fathers have been predominantly viewed through the lens of financial providers and disciplinarians – expected to be pillars of strength, but often emotionally distant and functionally removed from day-to-day child-rearing.

This dynamic becomes even more pronounced in families raising neurodivergent children. Conditions such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), Down syndrome, or cerebral palsy come with unique caregiving demands – often intensive, round-the-clock, and emotionally complex. In such homes, mothers are expected to sacrifice their careers and social lives to meet the child’s needs, while fathers are typically expected to “provide”.

But this narrative is changing.

A Quiet Shift in Indian Homes

Across cities and smaller towns, fathers are slowly – and often quietly – stepping into roles they were never groomed for. They are attending therapy sessions, sitting through speech assessments, managing meltdowns, negotiating with schools, and learning the vocabulary of developmental delays and sensory regulation. In some households, fathers have even taken the dramatic step of quitting their jobs to care for their children full-time – a reversal of traditional gender roles that was virtually unheard of a generation ago.

This shift is not always voluntary. Sometimes, it is born out of necessity – such as when the mother is unwell or also working full-time. But often, it is a choice – an act of conscious parenting. It reflects a deeper understanding that their child’s progress depends not only on therapies and medication, but also on consistent emotional presence.

The Emotional Labour of Fatherhood

For many of these men, the journey is a deeply personal one. They must wrestle not just with the complexities of their child’s condition, but also with the expectations placed on them by society, family, and even themselves. There are few role models. Few spaces where they can talk openly. And almost no representation in mainstream media or parenting conversations.

The emotional labour involved is immense – watching your child struggle with basic tasks other children perform with ease, dealing with schools that are ill-equipped or unsympathetic, and enduring the pain of isolation when neighbours, relatives, or peers offer well-meaning but ignorant advice.

And yet, these fathers show up. They adapt. They learn. And in doing so, they redefine masculinity in powerful ways – not through stoicism or success, but through sensitivity, advocacy, and presence.

Battling Stigma, Redefining Roles

In many parts of India, societal norms still discourage men from active parenting. Fathers who exhibit tenderness or take time off for caregiving are often met with disbelief or ridicule. Remarks like “He’s doing the mother’s job” or “Why can’t his wife handle it?” are not uncommon. These responses stem from deeply entrenched patriarchy – the idea that caregiving is incompatible with masculinity.

But the growing tribe of caregiving fathers is challenging these assumptions. They are normalising tears in therapy rooms, sharing parenting tips on online forums, and even starting support groups for other dads. In doing so, they are creating safer, more inclusive spaces for their children – and for themselves.

Healthcare Needs to Catch Up

This shift in caregiving roles also has implications for the healthcare system. Most hospitals, therapy centres, and schools still treat the mother as the default point of contact – often assuming she will understand the technicalities and shoulder the responsibility. It’s time for institutions to recognise and include fathers more actively in care plans, family counselling sessions, and early intervention programmes. Doing so not only supports the father but also improves outcomes for the child.

A Broader Vision for Fatherhood

This Father’s Day, let’s expand our definition of what fatherhood can look like – especially in the context of raising neurodivergent children. Let us honour not just the breadwinners or disciplinarians, but also the bath-time experts, the speech therapy companions, the sleepless-night watchers, and the homework tutors.

These men are not stepping in to “help”. They are parenting – fully and fiercely.

And by celebrating their stories, we are doing more than applauding individual courage. We are nudging society towards a model of shared caregiving. We are showing that care is not a mother’s duty – it is a parent’s instinct.

Let’s move one step closer to a future where the term “primary caregiver” could just as easily refer to the father.

Why is this happening? The reasons range from irreconcilable differences to changing societal norms, refusal of empowered women to stick on with abusive relationships as they traditionally did, and sometimes even the misuse of legal mechanisms such as Section 498A of the IPC by different parties.

As relationships head south, including marriages of several decades, they show up for the final reckoning in the Family Court— an institution that bears mute testimony to an unparalleled range of cases. From the heartrending to the cruel and bizarre, these stories spotlight a society’s hidden crevices and contradictions in rapid transition.

Through candid, first-person narratives combined with legal insight, When Love is Lost: Cases from the Family Courts of a Changing India by journalist-writer Kalyani Sardesai sheds light on the emotional and psychological toll of separation and divorce, as experienced by men, women, and lawyers in the eye of the storm. 

Additionally, counselors, lawyers, and mediators weigh in with valuable inputs on conflict resolution within marriage. “Thus, the book offers an unflinching view of today’s domestic battles and the socio-legal landscape that shapes them. It not only examines different cases of divorce ranging from adultery and bigamy to domestic violence, abandonment, fraud, but also provides information on the legal aspects of splitting marriages, and knowledge of an estranged spouse’s rights as enshrined in the law,” says Sardesai.

Sardesai’s interest in the Family Courts has its genesis in her stint as a journalist covering the Family Court for various national dailies. “As a reporter and writer, one is always interested in stories that reflect changing trends and shifts in priorities. The institution of marriage is a leading example of the same,” she says. “No longer is it a case of ‘till death do us part’. Women are increasingly vocal about their rights, refusing to put with abuse as they traditionally did. Add to that the stresses of modern-day living and the increased emphasis on individuality as opposed to prioritizing the family unit above all. On the other hand, some abuse the provisions meant to protect them. When children are involved, battle lines are drawn even more tightly,” she says.

A well-rounded, comprehensive take covering different communities and socio-economic strata of society, each narration is different, but what runs like a common thread through them all, is the emotional cost of the courtroom battle and subsequent outcome.

Section I has 24 first-person accounts of the narrators along with the relevant legal information. The cases in the book cut across various communities and socio-economic strata and include instances of LGBTQ as well as live-in relationships.

Meanwhile, Section II of the book has mediators, lawyers, counselors, and married and estranged couples sharing valuable perspectives on the battles worth fighting—for not every divorce is a bad thing, and some issues indeed deserve a firm stand.

“When Love is Lost is thus a unique relationship guide for navigating marital relationships with the law as a cornerstone,” rounds off Sardesai.

When Love is Lost: Cases from the Family Courts of a Changing India is available on Amazon at Rs 275.

TALEGAON: In the past few decades with urbanization and changes in living culture or traditions we have witnessed a shift from a joint family culture to a nuclear family. As the joint family culture offers many benefits, the time has come to return to this age-old family system in India. Moreover, we must attempt to create awareness amongst the youngsters about the importance and benefits of the joint family culture, opined Madhuri Misal, Minister of State for Urban Development, Government of Maharashtra. She was talking at a function organized to mark the inauguration of Nav Taz Dham, an old age home with good facilities at Ambi Village Near Talegaon MIDC.

Maval MP Shrirang Barne, Fatechand Ranka, Chairman of the Lions Club of Poona Sarasbaug Charitable Trust, Rukhsshana and Meher Anklesaria, the couple who donated Rs.4.5 Cr (Four Crore Fifty Lakhs) for building the Nav Taz Dham, Sudhir Naik who donated his land for the project, Ambadas Chavan from Caring Hands Organization were present on the occasion along with Prashant Kothadiya, Yogesh Shah, Asha Oswal, Chaitali Patni, Aniiket Aaghaaw and Chetak Gugale from the Lions Club of Poona Sarasbaug.

“It’s not that all children run away from their responsibility of taking care of their aging parents. In many cases, they are away due to jobs or education. In such a case, children find it appropriate to keep their parents at old age homes which are safe and caregiving. So, old age homes are becoming the need of the hour“, Misal added.

Maval MP Shrirang Barne said, “I am against the Old Age Home culture. I always feel that parents make a lot of effort to raise their children to the best of their abilities. So, it is the responsibility of children to take care of their parents in their old age. However, now the situation is changing and many times children have to live away from their parents for various reasons. So, the need for good old age homes is increasing day by day. The central and the state government are extending a helping hand to the senior citizens through various welfare schemes in terms of addressing issues related to their health and well-being and pension.”

While sharing the information about the Nav Taz Dham project Fatechand Ranka said that this Nav Taz Dham has been created with the objective that senior citizens can joyfully lead their lives with best-in-class facilities and care being offered to them. ‘Nav Taz Dham’ addresses the growing need for quality senior care as many elderly individuals face loneliness due to their children relocating to the city of their job or business. The center ensures a holistic environment with modern medical tie-ups, 24/7 hot water, wellness programs, yoga, cultural celebrations, and social activities. Residents can engage in gardening, music, art, and community service while receiving professional healthcare support. A portion of the fees collected will support underprivileged children’s education and welfare, reinforcing the trust’s commitment to social responsibility.

F N Ranka made the introductory speech while Tushar Mehta and Julie Patwa played the anchors for the event.

Providing a Loving Home

One of the greatest joys of fostering is being able to give a vulnerable child a place to call home. For children who have experienced abuse or neglect, entering care can help them to heal. As a foster carer, it is your role to provide a nurturing, supportive environment where they feel safe, valued, and able to trust again. Getting to know your foster child, understanding their needs, establishing a routine, and making your house feel like a home is central to helping them settle in. With time, patience, and compassion, you can help them heal.

Becoming a Family

While reunification with birth families is the goal for most foster children, the reality is that some will remain in long-term care. For these children especially, being embraced into a foster family can mean the world. They get to experience the care, security, and sense of belonging they deeply need. Simple things like celebrating birthdays, going on trips, and laughing at meals become treasured moments. Though challenging at times, living as a family creates treasured memories. And the reward of seeing your foster child thrive is truly priceless.

Making a Difference

As a foster carer, you have the power to profoundly shape a child’s life for the better. For children dealing with issues, your care and guidance can put them on a path to healing and growth. Your patience, empathy, and support can build their self-esteem, resilience,e and hope. You may be the stable, loving adult figure they never had. The difference you make by opening up your home and heart is immeasurable. Fostering provides the privilege of seeing a vulnerable child transform under your wing.

Different Types of Foster Care

Foster agencies offer different types of foster care to meet the needs of vulnerable children. These include short-term care for temporary placement, long-term care for several years, respite care to give foster carers a break, and emergency fostering when an immediate placement is needed. Other types include parent and child fostering to help parents develop skills and therapeutic fostering for children who have experienced trauma and abuse. Each type serves an important purpose in providing a supportive environment for foster children.

Of course, welcoming a foster child is not without complexities. There may be behavioral, emotional, and educational needs to manage. Saying goodbye when placements end can be painful. But many rewards make the challenges worthwhile. Offering your home to a child in need is opening up a world of possibilities for them. It is embracing the messiness of life. And it is one of the most meaningful ways to give back.

PUNE: In Pune, Maharashtra, significant advancements have been noted in the field of In-Vitro Fertilization, leading to success rates that currently range between 60%-65%. This improvement marks a notable increase from the success rates of 30%-35% observed two decades ago. This progress is largely due to advanced techniques such as embryo vitrification and the strategic transfer of blastocysts, which have substantially increased the likelihood of implantation.

Dr. Vaishali Chaudhary, Director- IVF & Fertility at Sahyadri Hospitals MomStory, Nagar Road, Pune, has shared valuable insights highlighting the key trends in the IVF landscape of Pune. According to her observations, approximately 50% of IVF patients in Pune are over the age of 35, indicating a trend towards later-stage family planning. Moreover, about 20% of IVF treatments in the area involve the use of donor eggs or sperm, underscoring the critical role of donor programs in overcoming genetic and age-related fertility issues.

Dr. Chaudhary also points out the various challenges faced by couples seeking IVF treatments, including the scarcity of specialized medical facilities in smaller towns, and the psychological aspect of treatment. To address these issues, strategies such as deep counseling, offering flexible payment options, and establishing virtual support groups have been implemented to assist couples throughout their fertility journey.

Dr. Chaudhary also stated, “The remarkable advancements in IVF technology and techniques over the past few years have significantly enhanced our ability to help families achieve their dreams of parenthood in MomStory. Our focus remains on improving both the technology and the approach to care, ensuring that every couple has the best possible support on their fertility journey.” This proactive approach also includes debunking common myths about IVF, such as the risks of abnormal children and exaggerated side effects of treatments, through extensive patient education and transparency.

As Pune continues to lead in IVF advancements, the ongoing enhancements in technologies and methodologies are expected to further improve success rates and patient experiences, making the dream of parenthood more accessible for more couples in the region.
