The Mumbai High court is ready to sanctify live-in relationships and the Maharashtra cabinet approved a proposal which seeks to give the status of a wife to a woman involved in a live-in relationship.

With the Indian mindset changing/evolving, do you think the concept of "Live In Relation" be accepted in our culture?
Well there will be lots of oppose r ..any supporters?
(Blood relations are out of the scope of this post)
We have many friends whom we care for and are concerned about. We sometimes go beyond our way to help them out.
But how many times do we show the same behavior for our team mates or rather our comrades. If we see; throughout our life, more than friends, our comrades play an important part in our life.
Many a times they take a place of a friend in our life; but can't be the case always.
If taken an example of a workplace; we often find ourselves a part of a team with known/unknown people and a completion of some task depends on our performance.
We help each other to get it done. But sometimes there are situations where you need to sacrifice something for your comrade in order to get a task done. For ex, on a battlefront we have to make the ultimate sacrifice of our life to save our comrades to ensure our victory.
I ponder, if we ask ourselves, what would be the answer to this question "How far would we go for our comrades?"
One of the basic rules of communication states that "The First Impression is the Last Impression". In most cases; it is the moment of truth. But how many times does this actually hold true?
When we try to create an impression, we are trying to project some aspects/attributes of ourselves; which are then left for the other person to perceive. Most often there can be a difference in the projection and perception. Humans are not perfect and not all are at the same skilled level; hence the same projection creates different perceptions in the minds of other people.
How many times it must have happened that we ourselves create a profile of a person in our minds based on his first impression upon us and then later on have to change it because then we get to know the varied aspect of that person.
I intend to ask; when should we actually form a firm opinion about another person. Should be on the first impression or after some later encounters?
Which Impression should be the Lasting ONE???
We start cherishing a bond the day we are born in this world. The bonds of blood are the first ones we share.
But those are gifted to us. As our journey continues, we start earning some of these; in the form of friends, followers, students, teachers and loved ones.
But not all bonds share the same strength. We always find a person who acknowledges us...acknowledges our being....acknowledges our presence.
That's when friends bond. Sharing, caring, loving, all these attributes follow further strengthening the bond.
But the first thread is tied when you start acknowledging the other person. A person can go far enough to nurture this thread.
People who share such bonds are admired by the world around them.
I am lucky enough to have a few of these in my life. I hope each one of you has one such to cherish.
How many times in life; the feeling of taking revenge might have dwelt in our mind.
When we were kids, growing up, small small incidents did occur which made us hold a grudge on someone. It's with the growing maturity that we start realizing that revenge won't bring us any good. The only thing it can bring about is repentance. Inculcating the feeling of revenge stops our growth; we seize to bloom further.
But having said this, even the level of maturity we might have may not avoid us falling into the clutches of the demon (revenge).
I think it can't be avoided..I mean not inculcating the feeling of revenge within us can never be the ideal situation. But if we could strengthen our inner self and bring about a certain level of clarity in our thoughts, then falling for this emotion of revenge can be avoided to a good extent.
"Revenge is a sinful blade that leaves a fatal cut on the hand of the one who wields it"
This post is to describe my day which started for me at 7 am.
You will say what's a big deal in it? Well if any of my office mates reads it..he will know. I had come to office at 10 'o clock after 6 long months. I normally go to office after 2 pm. Well it is 6 months because 6 months back I had been to a session which was at 9.30 am. Excluding that it has been nearly 13 months that I had come to office so early.
Well the world seemed very different to me that day. To start with, it was damn hot with no breeze at all. In the afternoon time though it is hot at least a slight breeze is blowing. I reached the bus stop. Um hmm..2 pretty girls were standing at the stop ;) Well thats one advantage to leave home early you get to see a lot of pretty faces in the day time (come on now don't think that I am acting pervy). So moving on, I reached the depot at andheri station......what's this...the bus stop there had a line stretching like an anaconda. Mann so many people in Mumbai. I moved on, reached the platform. Nothing to describe about the crowd here, thetrains are always packed to same capacity at all times. But waht was different is that I saw a new set of beggars on the platform. Normally during the afternoon there's an old blind guy who sits near the vridge on platform# 4 and plays his flute. I missed that sound that day. Well its ok, I then reached office. Checked my mails , did some work, colleagues were surprised to see me at my desk. A few thought that I must have doen a night shift and that is why I am still in the office ..heehee
But what was a bit overwhelming was the lunch time. I had the chance to be present at lunch with my friends (not colleagues) after 6 long months. After lunch time , it was like a normal day for me, which ended at 10pm as always. So nothing much to describe about it.
But that made me do a concious effort to reach office early everyday form now on in spite of the day in office ending pretty late for me!!!!!!!!
You show me a ray, I'll sparkle like a sun.
To show you a smile, will be so much fun.
You can be a friend, you can be a foe.
I'll be the way, that you show.
You wanna break me, may it be.
But you will reflect in each one of me.
This is the nature of a plane mirror- constant.
Always true, always clear, always ready to reflect onto you.
Ok so we also have a nature. what should it be like. Many will say it should be different, nice, unique......ummmm..it should be, as it is the aura that allows us to make a place in people's heart.
But I was just thinking that our nature is somewhat similar to a mixture or mirrors..i mean the funny mirrors ..you must have seen in a fun-n-fare place. Each of those mirror exhibit a different reflective property. Similarly our nature is different towards different people. We exhibit different reflective behavior towards different people we meet or encounter.
But what if we exhibit a nature more similar to a normal mirror, reflecting things as they appear. Disadvantage will be that, since people do not like the truth being shown to them, it will create rifts, they will avoid interacting with us. But at least we will be true to our conscience.
But all this said, we have to twist the image so as to do something good for others. Because sometimes acting differently can make some people happy. So the best thing will be we exhibit all the mirrors. But somewhere we should use the plain mirror more often, at least with our friends
