Hi Tejas, sometimes there is very little choice left with us, and that too while making the most important decisions in our life, you know its difficult, lets say impossible to opt for bifurcated ways,in your case it really seems a task as both the families are resisting.it is not a bad idea to wait for two years, but it would be fruitful only if you manage to convince your parents so that they themselves do not find you a match, the girl would be absolutely ruined. Can wish you a lot of luck.

As I come across so many topics discussing relationships, I really feel tempted to share a bit of my observation. I have always been categorised as a jolly smiling face,right from the stage of infancy(when I was plumpy ),My mother recalls that I was the one who was responsible for causing fights among older children as to who would pick me up first. As I grew up, the plumpy baby was mocked at , and then was better known as fatty! Don't you find that amusing? these same people who fought for me, were now fighting with me. Being super thankful to God, I was gifted with a rock solid mother. She didnt give a second thought standing up for me, and encouraged me to opt for extensive exercise.As obedient as I am, I readily agreed and put my best in, slimming down in just three months,what a makeover that was! It was then when I realised that she was my first support pillar. Ah! I really love to have her. After a long gap of nine and a half years, I had a sister born to me. Honestly, I wasn't that happy, probably sibling insecurity had come to effect. Eventually, with passing time, I could gladly see that my little sister was able to understand me quite well, at times better than my mother. I still have the privilege of communicating with her effortlessly. You got it correct, she is the next support pillar in my life. Now that I have become matured enough as a married and working woman, I cant help missing them and the comfort I shared with them. So I have mentioned that I am married and miles away from mom and sis, guess whom I rely upon now, easy one...... my husband. Its nice to have him support me as the latest pillar,( though we still need to face the tests of time). Before you start thinking that its a very enviable kind of life that I am blessed with, its blasphemy to put a stop without mentioning about my father, in the worldly terms, he has passed away, but I can feel that he is right up there directly connected, functioning as my base support, being a part of my soul.

Well what I feel about this is that anyone who believes in the GIVE or TAKE or whatever combination, is not in love at all. The mechanism within the body which is responsible for such behaviour has got nothing to do with emotions. It is a calculated venture. Though I do not rule out the fact that it is almost superhuman to nurture love in the absolute form,still, at least some extent of purity should be present. Any love affair cant run on commands,lets consider it to be a process with very little giving or taking yet keeping each other happy.

How cute and plumpy are they! None can take eyes away from them and these videos are real fun. Would love to spend the whole day watching these videos.

I guess you have really been made to sweat by some female while shopping......... can't deny that its true.

It isn't right to say that I would prefer movies of a particular genre, may be any well made film would be loved. Romantic comedies, action thrillers, realistic sci-fi flicks cannot be categorised under a single genre but are equally entertaining.I would say classics show us some great examples of cinematic excellence. Whatever the genre is, movies just rock!

Absolutely! she just not only is the Queen of Bollywood, but has also managed to conquer millions of hearts, which still remain dedicated without fail. Her everlasting charm is unmatchable and I proudly admit that I am a huge Madhuri Dixit fan.

Probably half the population of the world has been through troubles caused by such rogues, I can pretty understand how you might feel when you face them.I guess the real cause that they behave this way (to think and depict themselves as God), is to hide their own flaws. They become too conscious when they find that someone has got something good about themselves, a complex gets risen and in order to conceal that they start blowing up their( putting everyone down) own trumpet.Turn a deaf ear to them and be your normalself as proudly as you should.

You can try that, it would introduce a touch of reconcilition. Good luck again!

I do remember the times, when my grandmother would come over to our place and stay with us, I can't help cherishing those moments.The tales that she would tell us were mostly pieces of fiction but had very realistic lessons to be learnt from. The culinary delights she would produce were to die for, how i miss those! It is right to term them as natural resources, they channelise their potential through their succeeding generations, justifiably can be called our foundation.

You are right in saying that a smile can mean the world to someone, the spell that a smile can cast has an irresistible healing effect. You know should be proud that you were the sole trusted fellow of that girl,didn't her smile imply that?? Get over this guilt, you made the efforts you could. Besides that, agreeing with Sheepdog,there can't be a better idea to stay away from your unsparing friends, it would prove to be a savior.

More or less,art is a subjective matter to discuss about. A piece of art in any form needs insightful viewing(if it appears to be complicated), to be understood. Personally, I would try and evaluate a piece of painting taking into consideration the painter's thought process or the set of experience that lead him create the piece. Not to rule out the fact that it is .difficult to find and analyse what the actual thoughts would be. Mostly the creation carries symbolism that needs to be decoced with patience. Having said so, it would probably take away the pleasure derived from the appreciation of art simply by having a look at it. So, any art form carries a message that is from the creator, but its interpretation is very individual and unique

Oh!yes, thankfully all the schools and offices work that day, the day is extremely satisfying for people who are great with pranks, the history part is pretty likeable.Nevertheless celebration in any form is gladly awaited for. Just as a matter of curiosity, why did the people who knew about the king's declaration not inform the people who were unaware, really mean! but we shoudn't complain, it gave us the special day for lightheartedness.

If the article and the pictuers have been fabricated by The Sun, I must say, they have done their homework really well, the effect that it is likely to create would attract interest and arouse curiosity. The kid in the picture is really cute and none would like to see him crying ,(though the last picture gives out an eerie feeling),cant say about the luck thing, but anyone would love to see the picture of a chubby child with a broad smile.Won't that turn you on?

Among the various other malpractices, practised in India, honor killings needs some concrete steps to be eradicated from the society. Theoritical education is not going to help either. The law and order machinery should be more vigilant and they can be so when such incidents are reported to them. The instruments of media should show some vigour as well,(though a lot has already been delivered),not to forget, that we, as responsible Indian citizens should stand united against this social curse.I hope that would make the brutal killers sweat!

You have reminded me of stories, i have come across all my life. Being an Indian, I have been lucky enough to get to breed among diverse cultural backgrounds,and a certain part of the Indian community, mostly dwelling in the remote areas, have been known to practise such kind of witchcraft. Just as you have witnessed the misfortune of your neighbour, I also have a similar experience, thankfully I wasnt the victim, but have seen an acquaitance facing traumatic phase. You are right in saying that you believe in God, as the belief itself can resist such a spell.

I think you should spend some more time with your kid and try to understand what your baby's interests are. Sending toddlers to school is definitely a good idea as it helps inculcate within them favourable traits like sharing and playfulness, nevertheless, teaching the basics of academics at home would always be fruitful. Good luck for your kid's future.

Undoubtedly a good student would learn from anywhere, but the earliest stages require intensive care which a family member or more specifically a mother can provide best. She is well aware of the child's slightest developments, his shyness, if it is that way, or his social behavioural approach, he can be introduced to the other forms, whichever is suitable depending on the traits of the chid besides the monetary issue.

Agreed that kids can be imparted character education, both at home and at school, but we cannot rule out the influence of environment that the child goes through in his course of life, informal education or the collection of experiences gathered by him play a significant role in shaping his character.Only setting the ideals is not sufficient, keeping constant vigilance over the child's environmental change or development and then correlating those with the ideals set by means of discussion and role play would be helpful to shape a realistic, morally sound human being.

You can certainly let your parents speak or even yell ( as it sometimes sounds to be), all they want, after they calm down, try talking to them and convince them that you are there to listen to them.Then just observe the magic! they start talking, listening and eventually discussing things with you. Trust me that works.......

Yes! u are very right that the children nowadays need to be reminded to go out n play,they are not aware of what instinct they lack,but the 'the war is on' type of phase is not going to help either. The parents have to understand the worth and maturity of their child, and then give them anything that is not so expensive, that even if it needs to be destroyed, it doesnt feel like your pocket has been drilled. Composed and patient behaviour on the parent's part is inevitable.One thing that i really wonder about is that why do the kids cant just trust their parents and talk to them about their problems, probably the parents have to try a little harder to grab their child's confidence and this would help bridge the most talked about generation gap.

Gr81! buddy, to start with m a movie buff, cudnt hold back from appreciating your attempt, i wud love to watch the actual product, also as u r open to suggestions, how about inclusion of a few scenes displaying some warm moments of Kristine with her parents, like the vivid description of the hearty relation she shared with her dependable friend, the part that makes u feel the intensity of being in love for the first time after prolonged loneliness, is truly awesome! Go for the competition, m sure u will make a mark , gud luck!
