Indian woman defends strapping toddler to leash in US after video sparks debate
'He's 3.5 and we're not ashamed to say we put him on a leash. In a city like New York, this was hands-down the best decision for our trip. Our little runner always wants his freedom, and this gave him just that—without giving us a heart attack every 5 minutes,' she said in her post.She added, 'The best part? He thought we were on the leash. He called himself the sheriff and us his captives. Honestly, everyone was winning.'Jagota said they used two types of leashes during their trip, a longer one for open spaces and a shorter one in crowded areas.Take a look at the video here: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Shubhangi Jagota (@katchmyparty)The post divided the internet.

'Handling toddlers in crowded places is not easy. This keeps them safe. It's the smartest thing to do,' one user said.Another parent shared their view: 'I've used a leash when travelling alone with a hyper child at an airport. It's about safety, not shame.'A few users added that parenting in today's world is about being practical. 'These little munchkins run faster than you think. Safety comes first,' a user said.As debates continued, Shubhangi Jagota's message stayed clear; for her, it was never about shame but about giving her child the freedom to explore safely in a bustling city.- EndsMust Watch

From Neem Juice To Tangdi Kebabs: A Look At Diljit Dosanjh's Recent Foodie Escapade
It's always a visual feast when Diljit Dosanjh uploads a video of his culinary outings. A big-time foodie, the Punjabi icon brings his signature charm to every epicurean adventure. This time was no exception. In the clip posted on Instagram, Diljit offered fans a glimpse into his vibrant menu, starting from what he has first thing in the morning, to his morning meal and diverse lunch session. The video opens to Diljit Dosanjh speaking in a fun, broken English. "Today we are making green grass juice," he shares before preparing the healthy drink with neem leaves, a little turmeric and some water in a blender. Although the singer gulps down the entire glass and one of his team members follows, their reactions make it clear that the beverage wasn't exactly a crowd-pleaser. Next, Diljit Dosanjh indulges in a scrumptious yet nutrient-packed breakfast. Arranged beautifully on the table was a bowl filled with dahlia, a staple morning dish made from cracked wheat. Diljit adds a generous portion of protein powder into it, followed by some pomegranate and surajmukhi (sunflower) seeds for the perfect blend of flavour, texture, and a wholesome punch. We also spotted crispy and golden omelettes, a delectable fruit salad spread featuring what appeared to be pineapple, watermelon, avocado and kiwi slices, coupled with a few blueberries and some dates. That's not all, there was a plate of grilled avocado toast and two glasses of orange juice as well. Phew!

But before juggling his hectic schedules, Diljit relished some yummy treats. His lunch comprised creamy pasta salad, loaded with veggies, spicy and roasted chicken tangdi kebabs, crispy chapli kebabs and mayo-smeared grilled sandwiches. But that's not all. Diljit Dosanjh wrapped up his full-course meal on a sweet note. He enjoyed chocolate nankhatai topped with cashew nuts - a type of buttery and crumbly Indian shortbread cookie and a glass of refreshing watermelon juice.
