Dowry ...we wont leave our old tradition

We are Indians .. culturally rich heritage, inventor of yoga, Buddhist philosophy, gita philosophy, teaching and propogating the world lessons of peace and pardon. Scientifically also we have medical tourism, satellites, nuclear weapons etc. Come see our Incredible India and our mehmannawazi..hey the world u r listening ...

No matter how advance India become, we never leave our roots .. Right, and thats why we Indians have the right to ask for dowry in open or privately, before marriage and after marriage when we get our boys married. After all he is a boy ... God has given supernatural powers to a boy. An IIT scholar did suicide recently cos she couldn't handle the pressure of marriage and dowry demand. Is there in a world any other place other than India where such practice exist? Not in western world for sure. we take everything from west be it clothing, food, lifestyle but nah, we dont change deep rooted cultural values u know. She is not the only victim. When we read newspaper, we will get the hell lot of incidents and mind it, these are reported ones. Small little events happening with many ladies at home and the mental pressure they might be living are not even counted. Girl families do sell their land or exhaust their lifetime savings for marriage and then if such happens to a girl .. think what might be the condition of parents.

Ashtavarka gita philosophy emphasise on looking towards others as soul and not the body. We teacch the whole world and forget to apply on ourselves. Even after a generation or many generations, there is no hope for better... if we don't change now. How many more girls have to be a sacrifice for this ugly practice? Don't know... but be vigilant and never give girls in homes where such practice prevails or they talk about it.

Being a fairer sex

Life has been too fairer for us. Isn't it? or not. I tell you what fair it has done to us.

From childhood, you are taken care of, saved from world, given the best of the food and all the luxuries at home and then a single day, you are not the part of that family. There will be a person somewhere in this world to whom the parents rely upon on a single visit or may be two, and then the whole life the sweet girl child will have to rely on that other person . Is it funny or not, your dad who never let any boy say you anything will not hesitate in believing in that boy more than you. The family with whom you have stayed so far will get you married and send you away from that home where you have your memories. Is it so easy to remove the attachment you have for all the things you possess and then you will have your family and the past 20-25 years will be just a small part of your life. The future is a new family, new members, pets, neighbourhood etc etc. All the toys, habits, needs, behaviour will change a hell lot.

Is it fair for us to get us detached from old stuff and get new responsibility for a event called wedding. It is true that it is a major event of life and is essential too. But the question is Is it fairer ?? It is sort of compulsion to be lived in this society and infact a need too, but not fairer. It is not fine to get attached and then forced to detach from your personal belongings, relations and everything. Lets make it truly fairer by equalising the decision for girl and boy both.

Imagination is the power of the brain to do whatever think.....

I was just thinking yesterday about the working of the universal powers... Is there anyone in the universe fixing our lives. Is there a team appointed by God to do match making for each individual. Now this man is born ...we have to create a perfect match for him, that do all the checks to decide the journey of each individual. How come i get that room mate and not anyone else. Is it true that everything is fixed or this is just and mere coincidence of life. Universal powers do help in getting us meet that person only and not someone else. Life is continuous events and changing circumstances. Lets enjoy all thats happening..
