As National Parents’ Day draws near, it’s time to celebrate our real-life superheroes who taught us to fly even before we knew how to walk! Just like Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham’s famous dialogue “Zindagi mein agar kuch banna ho, kuch haasil karna ho, kuch jeetna ho, toh hamesha dil ki suno, aur agar dil bhi koi jawab na de toh aankhen band karke apni maa aur papa ka naam lo, phir dekhna har manzil paar kar jaoge, har mushkil aasaan ho jayegi, jeet tumhari hogi, sirf tumhari” resonates with our souls, our parents’ love for us echoes through the ages. This July 23, let’s cherish the guiding light of our lives with a curated list of these Audible titles that beautifully capture the essence of parenthood and offer parenting tips for the new ones embarking on the journey, reminding us of the magic woven by their love.
