So it starts with a question which we keep as forbidden side of our existance. Demons are they real or they are just the myths, or are only in our minds? I do not have any solid answer to these questions, neither does any one else has, but it actually changes with the frame of reference we talk with. Scientifically hard to prove, but incidentally bound to believe about such existances! I have not had any personal experiences with them, but as per few of my friends they have encountered it. Demons will not target only the weak mindset to speak of, infact they have even targetted some strong willed people and innocents in the incidents I have heard. Each and every religion is equipped with some or the other remedy to counter them. I do not know about many cults and practices but as far as I have read in the literature I can see that people can and do volunteer to become their targets, sometimes for good reasons, sometimes for bad reasons or just to get answers to some of questions they have, but these practices have left many things and lives turbulant and disturbed. So I would rather recommend that beware of such tries. Dream demons are visions of future or past or somethings which are completely psychic.

I am not able to understand the complete context in which you have put this post, but from the catagory of thread I figure it as pain in broken relationships. So as far as my view is concerned, I feel every relation or affair starts with some or the other interesting points, eventually we feel ourselves trapped in the web of events which leave us in quite a new and beautiful world where everything is centered around a person who is so much focus of our attention that we tend to forget about ourselves. But in bad turns when things turn out to be ugly and we have to break the relation- there is pain which can not be forgotten easily. It leaves a scar in our minds. It leaves us helpless. It really is, but life is the name of moving over such things....

Relationship is the second name of commitment, and I do not see any relation going further without any commitment in between!Well wherever you see you will find that any kind of relation be it born one or the one you made with your own hands has an inherited aspect of dedication, understanding and commitment. A son has a bond of some specified duties and behavioral obligations towards his parents, in the similar way parents have it for their son or daughter, a wife for husband and vice versa. No relation is complete without this inherited factor known as commitment. In love affairs or friendship as well the degree of involvement is proportional to the commitment you have with your mates. Unless you are not commited or feel it by heart the bond between you two is not mature enough to face the ups and downs of growth. The basic reason of failures of relationships is lack of trust which inevitably comes from the dedication, truthfulness and commmitment.

Hi Leeindia, yes really! I agree with you on working towards the improvement of the basic conditions of a prosperous world, but the thing that makes me sick is the attitude of people themselves. They are not having their own opinion rather they are trying to see from the lenses of their leaders- the vary same leaders who have been exploiting them for ages and using them as the vote bank only. They will not send their children to study even when it is free, and more over their birth right. So infact it creates a loop in the system which is self replicating and its impacts are far more bigger than quite a simple family. I hope that the mindset of the people starts changing and they are better able to recognize the need of the hour- it is not merely food shelter and clothing, rather it is education and more than that.

So Gmail? Ask me and I will say, it is the pretty devil you can't ignore. I have been using gmail from the days it was not owned by google. And the day- it restarted with google touch I am a big fan of it! Lots of things to do, do not worry, it will give you what you want. From absolute email to "everything packed" style gmail is an integrated part of my professional and personal life. And though I accept it is too vulnerable to my cyber existance- I know how to deal with all those negative points so it is not a big deal.It does everything for me, works as a scheduler, file manager, calander and lots of many other things. Innovation at one of its best points is gmail.

Suggestion, Move on! Not a point to stick to it and make rest of the things being affected by this affair. And as far as question of liking him, like no other is there, believe me- as the time passes by memories will fed away.I liked the spirit you have, no big deal. Just get involved in some other things, some of your hobbies and all will be fine again. Hope well for you.

The theory of Darwin is a possibility, and theory of God is belief. We can not be sure of origin of life with these two theories..we will have to consider many other options as well. The origin must have been a complex reaction which created the first primitive microscopic forms of life and after that it was a process of evolution, which brought the present life forms into existance after a gradual development.

Eyes speak the language of silence. In fact while communicating eyes play an important role in giving the clues of non verbal communication. The level of confidence, truthfulness and many other traits about your personality come clear with your eye movements. So even if you are speaking a lie and talking to some one who is good at catching these cues, believe me there are chances you will get caught. We have always been hearing about the importance of eyes in love relationships, how can you feel beauty? More over while looking at the children it is the appeal of their eyes which gets your hold.

Being the Change Agent- Path to a Better India We are shining, we will be the 2nd largest economy by 2020, we are the largest pool of skilled man power on the earth, we are the emerging global IT superpower, we are the outsourcing hub of the world, we offer one of the largest consumer market across the world for MNC?s, we boast of rich and varied heritage, we are growing at the GDP rate of impressive 8-9% per annum and aiming for a glittering double digit growth rate soon, we are India! It seems that the above facts are in our favor; we are shining, but are we really? Or our mindset of estimating standard of living of the population just by the glittering GDP growth rates is a sign of our biased mentality? The other side of the story - 25% population still living below poverty line, most of the cities and villages without even suitable condition for a healthy living, proper health care centers, electricity, UNESCO is concerned about the child mortality rate in India, we are in the top countries from below in the Human Development Index and still we ignoring the reality or over shadowing the face of our country?s ugly face. We are definitely showing improvement in our condition from the standpoint of economic growth, we are doing fairly well in terms of various developmental indices; economy is at boom despite the global melt down affecting various markets. Our strength is our own untapped rural and urban markets, people with increased disposable income, higher literacy rates. Take example of Mumbai the Indian dream city, we have one of the costliest office spaces of the world and in the same city we have largest slum of Asian continent; Dharavi and many others like Gowandi. We have industry barons; at the same time we have the people who die of hunger, mal-nourished children who we claim to be the future of our country. How we can claim of an all round development of the economy when those children do not have proper nourishment and health care in place, let alone the educational facilities? We are too much obsessed with our momentary success and we have forgotten the real India, which lies in rural areas, which lies in the ignored areas of our great cities and we are actually trying to isolate them from our comfortable standpoint on the development. Our administration system though working hard to eliminate illiteracy, providing proper nourishment and health care facilities to every Indian, trying to provide the employment to everyone who needs it. We never forget to blame our government for all the failures; we try to put the responsibility on others shoulders, we keep on complaining about poor facilities, we only forget to act! We complain about the crook politicians, but again we select the same lot of them in every upcoming election. We do not go to fight on the political front ourselves, those who think they are intellectuals and politics is a dirty game, need to rethink, need to make a choice of always complaining or making things better- then only the change will come. If we can think towards a rational plan of development we should always try our hands in implementing it for the benefit of our country. It is soothing to know; that the real awareness is increasing among the youth of India, and they have challenged themselves to take different path. Path different from the traditional one, it is evident from the fact that more and more of the young turks are coming to promote the cause. After graduating from the best educational institutes; they leave handsome and high profile job offers just to cherish their dreams, just to act as a change agent for the society, for the country. The ever increasing number of the non government organizations which are working towards improving social conditions, helping people empower themselves, making themselves self dependent, fighting for social equality, abolishing child labor and many similar causes raise the hope towards a better future. There has been a paradigm shift in the mentality of young Indians, more and more of them are breaking the traditional shackles which were being followed till now. The young India represents new rays of hope, with emergence of the organizations and ventures lead by them, they are the new definition of India, India believes in them and they believe in themselves, which is what going to create a difference in the future. I am hopeful of a new India, where we will not be merely judging the growth by the growth rate of the GDP, we will not be complaining about the poor system taking care of us, we will not be thinking much before marching ahead and making a mark, helping follow citizens, helping those who need our hand to grow and see a better tomorrow in India of future!

Yes Windows is better than any other OS and I bet, you might go to other OS just for sake of testing it or having a feel of it, but when it will come to other features of OS and more things you would like to do with your PC, you will come to know, Windows is the best. I have installed Ubuntu quite a few times, looks soothe too, but easiness and expandability of operations makes me come back to Windows.

The way we have been brought up about using computers, I do not feel comfortable when it comes to using any other operating system other than Windows. Linux might be fast, but if you are a geek and keep on using other stuff such as softwares, various codec media you will have to depend on Windows. Actually any developments being brough forward are basically made keeping windows in mind and here you have to be loyal to windows. For the ease of operation, windows again have edge over any other xyz OS. Maintaing and keeping your files and making most of the use of your computer is what other OS might not come up to your expectations, but Windows will surely help you.I also kept on using various beta and working OS while testing them, but ultimately returned to windows for ease of operation. I have faith in XP and that too perticularly SP2. Vista I consider to be a fool OS which irritates you for almost everything.

Yes I agree, there must be life beyond our earth as well. Actually looking at all the data where distances go across limits such as billions of light years, we humans with all our scientific advancements have not reached to a limit of single light years....we have not even gone to pluto as of now...so we are no where at all! We are infinitesimal small when it comes to cosmic knowledge and we can assume two things:1. Either other forms of lives are constantly monitoring us. They might be on the same planet living with us and spying us!2. We are situated in the backyard of universe that no more developed civilization has yet contacted us....we are living life of a ignored planet.The day we can think of time travel, or travel into other dimensions and this light years become approachable I am sure we will discover yet unknown and unthinkable form of universe. All our developments will seem to be nothing!I am eagerly waiting for that day to come.

It is just a matter of compatibility, till the ages where there was not much of scientific and economical development we were asthetics, we believed in God, we had faith in the concept of religion. But now as there is more of monetary affairs in every span of life, scientific advances have made our lives already easier, we have become more logical, we challenge the things the way they are. This is where our minds sets to the path of being more and more rational.. This rationality differs from rationality of 20 years ago, when it implied the concept of ethicality, morality and being righteous. Now it is all about being in a state of gain, gain which comes in our lives and makes it comfortable.As far as the debate of science and beliefs, there are people who have faith in God, values and at the same time we have people who are completely so called "rationals". They have a different system of beliefs, a more logical approach to the life in this age of money mindedness. They both exist together.

So you think we human just living to serve the purpose of living only, doing just the initial things necessary. I take a counter stand on this statement of yours. I feel, we are in a state of continuous improvement going towards a higher end of existance. When you talk about the cycle of humanity....I feel it is going towards a phase of social and scientific advances where we will end up our own existance. Something unexpected will change the direction of our developments.We are having certain very astonishing features in our societies. Can you even think of beauty of digital innovations? Simple 1 and 0 can do wonders, you can inscribe virtually each and everything into numbers, on the surface of digital storage devices. You can communicate seamlessly, you can send rovers to mars can any other species on the earth would have done that ever? No it is only we humans who are exploring our reference system. We are far better than animals, we have seen new horizons of existance and have an affinity for exploration and scientific developments.

For the advanced and open cultures it is a no problem, but for developing cultures it is still a taboo to talk of such things. They are still not in a position where they can accept an interracial marriages. We youngsters do not see any harms, we are open for such things, but the matter is that we have to still follow our old traditions. Our society wants us to grow, follow american dreams, but they are not ok with american idology, and that is the pity in our social systems.But for the trends, we are making our own lives..we are our own decision makers. I do not see that day far away when we all will be in a really free society where we will be able to take the decisions ourselves completely.

What is the reason behind this dislike? If you think that you can not hang out any more with someone, it is always better to let them know and talk about the things directly. You can always workout the problems. If there is something that is irritating you, or you dislike about your partner then try to sort them out. Remember it is never wise to leave a relationship on a bad node. You both can always be good friends and when you have shared a relation to this extent, let the memories be pretty beautiful one for the sake of time you passed with each other. Don't feel a relation like a burden ever, and if this time comes in your life it is better to break up and move over..Bad feelings or bad relations are not easy to forget so give them vent to blurt out and be turned into atleast neutral things.

If that is the case, talk her directly; the best way I can think of. And don't guess anything merely by her actions. You might be wrong or there may be some other reason why she yells at her friend with your name. More important is what do you think about her? If you are positive then better you both work out together, what is the matter and if both have a go ahead, congratulations!But in case you do not think about her, better tell her this thing so as not to hurt her feelings. You always be good friends.

Say it directly, don't wait for months, years and lifetime! If you think and have found that you are really in a state of feeling too deeply for someone go ahead and talk it directly. This might look strange, but I think is the best way to save your time, energy, and possible friendship. Being honest is the first thing in the relation and you must respect it. Don't fear and express your feelings. You should not just go and say "I love you", rather save these words; say you have developed feelings for her, and she is always there in your thoughts. It might work out. Be ready to have both sort of reactions from the person you are saying it...you might have hurt her feelings unknowingly, but don't let it be a sore experience for both of you and remain good friends forever.

Yes, proposed someone! And believe me, now as I look back, it seems exciting. It took me 4 months at longest, and 1.30 hours at shortest to me. I am lucky, got many lovely and caring relations till now. Yes it feels too bad when you want to tell some one that you love her, but you can not. The fear of ruining a friendship always rules and when you live with the feeling of just having it to you, it is worse...I do not know how can people wait for years just to propose a girl, and still fail. My sympathies with them. But personally I feel that if you are in love, it is always better to tell at the earlier stage, otherwise you will just be wasting your time and energy. Further you might have to go through a lot of pain when your proposal is denied... Always try to be honest and quick in letting other person know about your feelings. Believe me it is one of the finest feelings you will have in your life. To have a soft spot and love for someone.

Chating according to me is a phase where you need to rethink about continuing the relationship you have with any person. Being together looks beautiful but getting cheated is lack of trust, destruction of the mutual understanding and more over it is definitely a stage- where things have changed drastically. Don't get emotionalloy fooled or carried away just because your heart says so! Apply your mind and try to work out either by having a all round conversation with your partner, or step towards a break up. *BLEEP* for tat is definitely not a advisable workout here, but we can always talk. And believe me, you will learn to live without your partner in some time, but if you carry on- it will do a greater damage to your personality.

Try to understand and accept the reality dear. If someone insults you, it is only and always with your permission. I see in case of this guy you are just being mistreated with your own consent. Move over, if he is not good to you and does not understand your caring nature- he definitely does not deserve you. It is not about emotional attachment or sort of force which is having you attached with him so deeply, but it is about your own space. You should not let anyone hurt you like that.Appriciate the fact that you are so worthy that you will find a match just like you soon. This guy seems to be a complete mess, with no respect for your identity. Better you draw lines in your relationship and start to learn living without him. I hope you will find a good and caring person soon.

Time changes, so do the values, the system we live in and hence definition of every phenomina around us keeps on changing.Moral values are relative of the environment you are referring to. Integrity you talk about will also change according to the contexts. Today integrity stands for combination of values; including righteousness, honesty, sticking to the norms;and rules and eventually following and setting up standards for new comers. Business environment has core values, which mostly include integrity but the fact remains; there are always two sides of story one evident and second hidden one and at the core. Ultimately we try to remain under our frame of reference. Given a choice our intended behaviour will definitely deviate from the standard one!

You are from India, so am I. Quite related to your query, I myself am persuing MBA at one of the top 10 B-Schools in India and to answer your query, I have a simple answer; "Go by your own priorities, not the flow of environment." Do not think about any perceived trend, any already set path rather think what you want from your life, what is that you would like to see yourself within next 2-3 years, then within next 5 years and decide accordingly. I worked in the Industry for 3 years, then enjoyed life for 1 full year and now am here, doing what I thought wayback during my graduation!So it depends person to person, your conditions, your priorities and opportunities you encounter. Follow your heart- because as a decision maker for yourself it should be your own take always!As far as the outer environment is concerned, do not worry about the global recession phenomenon, India has its own consumer market for coming years, and if you have a fire you will be able to cherish your dreams very well.Hope this will help you make a good decision. All the best.

Seclusion starts with a choice and becomes the lifestyle lateron if you do not turn back to these worldly affairs. In many civilizations it has been a system to go into seclusion in the later years of life. The inheritance philosophy being, introduction with the truth of life comes in that environment. People have mended their lives and got wisdom during it. It helps organize yourself, explore the inherited powers, bring your mind towards a situation where, you can judge whether or not the things are significant as you think- you start differentiating between truth and imposed truth.It is a good way to self realization. Seclusion is the first step towards salvation.

As many things exist in our imaginations, rather than in reality, so are ghosts. They are definitely into our imaginations, somewhere in our minds! When it goes to the extent of hallucinations, we happen to see them. We can not deny their existance, neither can we confirm it. There have been various incidents in which they have been seen. Whatever be the reality, they are a good topic for us to discuss. Pray to God some day you see one and start believing in them!
