COVER STORY

Parul Kakad is an inspiration to many as a mother, an entrepreneur, and a woman with big dreams.

he began her journey as an event curator for Bollywood shows in Africa and worked with prominent personalities like Adnan Sami and Sonu Nigam. As her roots started to make a strong foundation, she also set forth a diamond trading business. Soon after her career started to flourish, she moved to Australia and opened a restaurant with her brother - under the name ‘Two Fat Indians’. For her, the journey to become a mother of four has been truly overwhelming and life-changing. She openly talks about the challenges of attaining motherhood and the obstacles she faced throughout in this interview. Q. Can you tell us about your journey?

Photography by Shruti Tejwani Designer - Rocky Make up by Anisha Chhabria Hair by Pratiksha Location - Sea Princess Hotel

Well, I think my life has been full of undulations. I left home when I was only thirteen years old to go to a boarding school in Pune. I wanted to study medicine as I wanted to develop a career in Pharmacy. Later, I moved to Bombay - the city of dreams - to pursue my interests in designing. Soon enough, I began taking designing courses to polish my skill and improve as much as possible. As suggested by my mentor in college, I tried my hand as an event curator and began working as one. I was only nineteen when I married the love of my life. During the initial stage of our marriage, I suffered from a miscarriage and it left me quite disturbed and upset.

We conceived our first baby six years later. Ever since then, I have had nine pregnancies, out of which, five turned to miscarriages and four to precious parts of my heart. 7

Q. What were your challenges for work? The biggest challenge was the distance between my husband and me. When I started working, I had to travel for over three months for an event and I would be living away from my husband. Other times, I would be travelling to my restaurant or trading. We spent most of our time living away from each other, but every time we would meet, it would be like a honeymoon. The obstacle of not being together was quite a task as we were also newly married. But I’m very proud that we went through it together and stuck together. When I got pregnant, I moved back to Bombay as I wanted to raise my children in Bombay. The decade following the year 2008 was quite difficult for me as I went through nine pregnancies. It had an immense emotional impact on me, but also steered me in the direction of self-exploration. I discovered who I was as an individual, what I wanted to do, and what I wanted from my life. I developed a sense of identity in motherhood and tried to become the best mother I could be for my children. I became more patient and understanding with each child of my own.

Q. You are widely known as the ‘Mommy Influencer’, could you tell our audience about your job? Mumbai Mummy is a platform where I celebrate motherhood. It’s taken me four kids to write about the journey of motherhood. I’ve had nine pregnancies and five miscarriages. All this while, I made a decision to provide a safe space for women to come out and talk about their pain of experiencing miscarriages. Because as of today, many women go through miscarriages and battle with emtoional turmoil but cannot express their grief or share their emotional trauma - which to me is not right. I encourage women to talk about the challenges to overcome such a staggering experience of their lives. I also want mothers to know that motherhood is not just about glamour, but about reality and the challenges that come with it. I firmly believe that motherhood is not just about glamor, but very much a reality.

Q. What are your strengths and weaknesses? My kids. Personally, my strength would be patience and understanding another person’s anger. I have seen that every time a child throws tantrums, his/her parents would instantly tell them to stop screaming. But as a parent, it is essential to understand why your kid is acting the way they are acting. You require patience to understand your child’s point of view followed by wisdom to make them understand what they are doing wrong. People’s anger is often a result of another person’s actions. It is typically an external force causing you to react angrily, but understanding why another person is acting that way can help you overcome the anger and deal with the situation rationally. Understanding someone’s reasons for being anger is a skill I have developed. I try to be kind and understanding in situations that may make me angry - which I think is my strength today. My weakness is overthinking and oveer-analysing everything. Q. What is one thing you’d like to change in this society? People should look after abandoned kids, because it isn’t their fault for being underprivileged but their parents’. If each individual fed one needy person daily, it would make the world a much better place for the less privileged. It is all about Karmic reaction. Q. One thing you would like to tell us - an incident you hold close to your heart? Opening a restaurant with my brother was definitely a very emotional moment for me. I was only 24 and he was 21. Because ‘Two Fat Indians’ was a baby that we nurtured with care, precision, efforts, and a lot of hopes. January - February ‘22

Q. Many young mothers or new mothers feel overworked looking after their children and managing the household everyday. Do you have any advice you would like to share with them?

COVER STORY

Yes, only if you love yourself, you can love someone else. Learn to love yourself and make time for yourself. Having a balance and routine on a daily basis makes a big difference.. Eat well, feed your child well, have some time on your hands to work on yourself. It is essential to give yourself an hour - could be for anything and any hour of the day. For me, this time is for working out as I love to keep myself healthy. . Q. How do you spend your leisure time? I spend my time with my kids a lot. They have online classes during the day so I make sure they don’t get more screen time than required. They only get an hour to watch TV or be on any gadgets in a day. I spend my time playing, drawing, dancing, and singing with my kids. Other than that, I like to Netflix and chill or read books. Q. Name five things you cannot leave your home without. The five things I cannot leave my home without are my phone, sunglasses, confidence, my wallet, and a smile. Women like Parul Kakad inspire other women to make the best of their lives and be everything they would like to be. As a true diva, she gracefully manages and balances every aspect of life. She also tells us that it is okay to open up about our struggles as it only makes us more of the human that we are. G-Town is delighted to share her story. 11

how to hydrate your skin in winters? By SkinQ - A Skincare line formulated by Celebrity Dermatologist Dr Chytra V Anand

Water is the answer

Skin pampering in winter season is essentially vital. To take care of skin the ‘right way,’ one should know the key steps to a healthy skin. Winters are testing times for our skin and its health. With dry air and colder temperatures, our skin is highly vulnerable and becomes more sensitive. Skin experts such as Dermatologist,, Dr Chytra V Anand recommend, we use hydrators and moisturizers to keep our skin well-fed and nourished. SkinQ is a dermatologist-formulated skincare brand especially made for the ‘Indian Skin.’ SkinQ’s range of Indian Skin Care includes important hydrators such as Hyaluronic Acid and Sodium Hyaluronate. January - February ‘22

Lipids for healthy skin

Ceramides to the rescue!

It is important for skin to have access to lipids. Ceramides are naturally occurring lipids present in skin to form to the skin barrier, which prevent damage and excessive or Transepidermal Water Loss.

Using ‘Ceramides’ helps in restoring the skin barrier by providing natural lipids to the skin. A strong skin barrier prevents drying and dehydration of skin. C eramide-moisturizer, such as Moisture Balm, should be used after applying Hyaluronic Acid and Sodium Hyaluronate, to lock-in the moisture and reinforce the skin barrier.

Hyaluronic Acid Hyaluronic Acid is a known hydrator which can be topically applied for superficial and instant hydration. Along with Hyaluronic Acid, the duo - found in Hydrate Elixir, provides powerful superficial and cellular hydration.

People often tend to feel less thirsty during winters, as there’s less water loss in the body. However, drinking water is a crucial step in keeping skin healthy and hydrated. It is recommended to drink at least 1.5 liters of water per day, and a maximum of upto 3 liters per day for a hydrated body and skin. Drinking enough water provides the moisture required within skin cells, absorbed by Hyaluronic Acid and Sodium Hyaluronate.

a reduced need to exfoliate as the skin barrier gets thinner and more sensitive due to the weather. Dr. Chytra V Anand recommends exfoliating once in 3 to 4 weeks, using mild chemical exfoliants, while completely avoiding scrubs and bead exfoliants. A 5-step approach is the ‘ideal’ way to exfoliate in winters starting with cleansing, exfoliation, massage and wrapping-up with a sheet-mask. Hydrate DIY Active Facial Kit provides made-tomeasure 5-step exfoliation and facial, developed specifically for winter dry and dehydrated skin.

The DHT technique that we pioneered in 2013 is the result of this ethos, and it has since revolutionised hair transplant procedures forever. Our research was published in a highly reputed scientific journal in 2013 and was critically acclaimed for its highly effective results. Today, DHT has been adopted by the worldwide medical community. DHT technique is vastly superior to other procedures. The most significant difference is that it provides a quicker turnaround time which means that hair is transplanted quickly as the hair follicles are simultaneously removed and implanted in the scalp within seconds. This ensures that the removed hair does not spend a long time out of the body, thereby providing nearly a 100% success rate. We discovered the DHT technique and perfected it after immense research efforts. Q2. What are the most common demands/ problems you face from patients regarding hair restoration? Our bodies are changing at all times, a lot of it has to do with the internal and external environment around us. Copious amount of stress, lack of work-life balance, and pollution have led to severe hair loss problems and baldness. The stress with Covid-19 within the last two years due to COVID-19 has played havoc with hair loss.

Q1. Tell us about the new technology DHT that you have pioneered and how different and effective is it from the other technology/ procedures. At Eugenix, our platform is based on science. Hence, we are constantly striving for innovations and techniques besides refining existing ones, and it is our constant endeavour to push the research in hair sciences to new heights.

At Eugenix Hair Sciences, we believe in providing our patients with the best hair transplants, and we ensure that the demands of our patients are met to the best of our abilities. We regularly encounter patients with a variety of hair loss problems and their needs range from the recreation of receding hairlines & temples to achieving a more augmented density for maximum coverage. We aim to provide them with thoroughly researched solutions that will ultimately help bring back their confidence. 35

Q3. It is a general belief that Hair restoration procedures are very painful and are not very effective. Would you like to share some insights on the same? How true is this? Over the years, lots of corner shops and unprofessional hair transplant clinics have sprouted across the country where unqualified and fake doctors have done these procedures. This has not helped with the reputation of our industry, a major chunk of which is still quite unorganized. Hence, we insist that our clients do as much research as possible before choosing us to do their hair restoration procedures. Again, depending on the experience of the Doctors, the pain quotient is minimal. Interestingly in our case, between 10-15% of the procedures we have done are repair jobs that went haywire after visiting a wrong Doctor. The repair restoration jobs are always that much harder. Q4. Is it true that transplanted hair does not grow well and drops off a few months after the procedure? Does it leave scars as well? We transplant hair from the back of the patient’s hair where the roots are the strongest, so it is unlikely to fall off. However, pre-existing hair in the front or at the crown area will continue to fall at a regular rate due to the innate nature of our hair cycle. Also, when we talk about androgenetic alopecia, patients need to be educated about the susceptibility of transplanted hair to the natural progression of baldness, which is best controlled with medication & nutrition support. If that’s taken care of, it is definitely possible to retain both your transplanted and pre-existing hair for a lifetime. Also, our procedure does not leave any significant scars, unlike some of the more conventional procedures like FUT, which leaves a significant linear scar on the donor area.

Q5. A couple of years back, hair restoration/ transplant was a niche treatment and very select people, mostly celebrities, used to go for the treatment. Now we see more people are opting for the same. What change do you see in the mindset of the patients that come for the treatment? We believe this is directly correlated to the socio-economic change in our country. People right across the various strata of our society have got richer and are becoming more aware of their looks and health. This has increased the demand in the cosmetic market of our country and has naturally increased the supply of cosmetic procedures. Affordability and open conversation about hair loss has created a new sense of acceptance in societies. This acceptance has enabled people to come forward and undergo hair transplants while being open about their procedures. As one of the top 3 hair restoration centres in the world, Eugenix Hair Sciences has built a relationship based on trust and credibility. Our ethos stems from treating every individual and procedure with a high degree of personalisation and an absolute commitment to their care. With these value systems, our family has grown beyond 10,000 delighted patients across the globe. Q6. Does transplanted hair not look natural? Is it true that one can easily determine if someone has had one just by looking at hair? A good hair restoration procedure is the culmination of art meeting science. The procedures require high levels of precision and impeccable craftwork. A bad job can look like you have doll hair growing straight out of your head. We can proudly state that the dexterity and finesse in transplanting hair are unparalleled in our patients. Our medical artistry is visible in the different procedures performed across Hairline Design, Repair Hair Transplants, extreme cases of baldness and female hair transplantation. The biggest experts in our industry will not be able to tell if our client has had a transplant or not.

oday’s time it is a passion to have baked food. Being a professional I have seen mostly ladies or kids shows their curiosity in baked food. When we take out freshly baked foods from the oven, the aroma and fragrance increase our appetite. Many of us try to bake food at home also, by seeing the recipes in websites. But in middle of the way face many challenges due to lack of preparedness, due to same repeated recipes, due to lack of equipments, due to lack of awareness about baking. So, if you are so fond of baking at home, this article can help you to gain few knowledge and experience. January - February ‘22

What is baking?

Baking is a method of preparing food that uses dry heat, normally in an oven, but can also be done in hot ashes or on hot stones. The most common baked item is bread but many other types of foods are also baked. In ancient times, people baked cakes in hot ashes (as demonstrated in the photo).

vision

Founded by Priya Singh in 2019, Dogily was born out of love, the kind of silent love you share with your pet. As a pet parent herself, Priya wanted to help every pet parent and their pet meet all their needs. They hope to play a meaningful role in bringing pets and their humans closer to each other for years and years to come, and through that build a kinder world.

‘ In a world where everything is clicked and later posted on social media; aestheticism plays a big role. The brand offers a wide range of Pet Sofa, Pet Bed and Pet House with authentic designs and patterns for their pooches.

B e lief

Inspired by the high-quality craftsmanship of fine furniture, Dogily is dedicated to providing the same level of comfort and style for thepets we love and adore. The aesthetic premium beds are designed and manufactured with the utmost attention to detail, function, and durability - And meant to complement the décor of any home. After all, since all our pets give us their unconditional love; we can bring them something they’ll love, in return. January - February ‘22

We believe that Pets are an integral part of our family. To celebrate the joy of being together with these furry animals, Dogily is all set to create special moments that would always stay by.”

PAWS AND TAILS

They believe that every pet has the right to look extra cute and charming with the minimal strain upon the pet’s comfort. Thus, they ensure that the products stand out at a very reasonable price to make sure all the Pet lovers would be able to afford it.

stru ggle

Ever noticed how a gift could make your pet all hyperactive around the place? But with Happy pooches, sometimes disappointments. The most noticeable of them is the competitive e-commerce market with the strain of ongoing pandemic and higher prices of production because of rising inflation. To ensure that a product is checked several times during the production, their products are often made one at-a-time so that the brand can stand by the high-quality standards of delivering durable products.

When asked about her end goal, Priya said with a smile,

“We care and celebrate with the people ‘N’ your pet. We delightedly aspire to become one big family at Dogily.”
