An intimate affair: Hayyan's 28 days
Photos by Arif Mahmood | Lifebuoy Publishing Partner
"When you are photographing in the open, or in the street situations are not real. You don’t get intimacy.
In a house the close environment is already there… you relive certain moments because of it. I have three kids of my own. I am reliving how I photographed them when they were born."
Arif Mahmood
"Being a parent is not easy. It's a very tough time. The kid dictates everything... there are a lot of sleepless nights. You have to follow his daily routine. Your life revolves around the kid."
Arif Mahmood

The first 28 days can help a child reach 5
Lifebuoy has adopted 31 neo-natal clinics across Sindh and educated thousands of mothers about the importance of hygiene in the neo-natal period. The visual portrayal of baby Sara, Hayyan and Abdul Jabbar's first 28 days of life is another initiative to create awareness about the cause.
With each book sold, Lifebuoy doubles the proceeds and donates to NICH, for neo-natal care. You can support the cause by purchasing the book on Kitabein.com.

How about allowing a kid to not just live until five, but to live as a human being for an average lifespan?
Say no to births if you or your society are/is not worthy of having them.
Don't commit mass murder in the name of personal satisfaction or divine duty.
You think it all works out, but it really doesn't.

I have 3 grand kids, age 11, 5, and 4 and I exactly know, how our lives revolves arould their daily routine and in turn, we also realize, what efforts and hard work our parents had put in when we were born with less facilities in those years in 40's, 50's and 60's....
But, it's a great genuine pleasure to be with them and we enjoy their comments...
God Bless all the parents and Grand parents.

Along with some hard time in the beginning to look after new born brings lot of excitement and cheerfulness. Within joint family grand parents could help in this regard. My first born were twins, a boy and a girl. They kept us busy full time. Time passes quickly when you are busy. Children are blessings and best hope we get in our life. When child come into your life it also awaken your dormant capacities that you never thought you have. I think it is very enjoyable time.
