This is for all those conservative men...

It was a normal day at work when I happened to speak with one of my lady colleague about other colleague. We had heard that this colleague of ours was divorced . Moreover, our friends had seen this guy going here and there with another lady, definitely not his wife. Now I suggested that maybe his wife doubted him unnecessarily, maybe it was just a friend and there was nothing more to it. At that my lady colleague looked at me and very calmly asked me, "It might be a friend, but if a wife goes out alone with a man other than her husband, will the husband be ready to accept him as her friend?". We were discussing on Indian families, because we are seen as the most conservative of all people. But it is not limited to Indians. Its to all men! Will you accept it! Sure an EYE OPENER.

This dated back in India way back from Lord Rama's epic Ramayana, Sita who was captured by Ravana was suspected of purity. Why does it be the fairer sex? Why are men not looked upon with the same view? I think the explanation lies somewhere that "GOD created MAN in his own form, and from MAN came WOMAN." Well let me here your say....

Is it 'MONEY' that all counts?

Many a times it is observed that man does a lot of things for the term 'PROFIT'. And profit in todays term is 'MONEY' for our use. I used to think during my teenage days that I will ensure that I will acquire a great job one day and earn lots of money for my family, and make each and every member of my family happy. Believe me I was wrong...through my life I found out that it is difficult to achieve money, but even more I realised was to get LOVE, AFFECTION and CARE.

Just take the following hints to know where you stand:
1. When you get up in the morning do you look at your family?
2. When you leave for office do you think whether everything is safe at home or what tasks you have to finish of at office?
3. Do you try to remember the precious days in your family or the appointments?
4. Do you like to see the face of your colleague than the face of your child?
5. Who gives the soft touch of concern: your wife or your colleague?
6. When you fall, be it in anyway, are you confident that your family will stand by you?

Well I am sure you know the right answers, you can yourself make up more questions and answer them yourself. Because if you donot try to settle this task now, it may be late. Late forever.

You don't choose your family.  They are God's gift to you, as you are to them.  ~Desmond Tutu

Is the new friend maintenance tech healthy or not??

Just thought of this topic over a long time and then thought..why not? Why dont have your opinion in this? It is worth a discussion. Is maintainng a friend relation through a click or physical doing more honest?

During my younger days I do remember that my elders used to maintain contact with friends either by going to their homes (tht's if they stay close) or by writing them a TWO page letter of what happened around them and what's happening there..hah! Believe it or not even I have done all this.

Nowadays, everything has changed. In this digitalized world everything is available in a click. Just see, we have communities or search engines like Orkut, Facebook, hi5 etc.. to find a friend, to keep in touch, and even to share whats happening in each other's life. We can share every second of our life with a whole group of friends in an instant. But I have observed that after a long run many of them feel bored to update a photograph or even sent in a scrap or even search for a long lost contact. I am not saying that it is same with all of you, but I am sure many of you feel the same.

What is this? When its made simpler, cheaper and quicker still we fail to make the touch, why? Is it because that the relations have dwindled or is it because we dont have 'TIME'...how long will logging in and keeping in touch take from your precious TIME?

I accept the fact that I myself dont keep in touch with my friends on a day to day basis, so why dont I or you do that? Let me here what you have to say.
