Hi Jerome…. How are you and how is life?? Hope everything is fine… Though i dont write anything now, I miss everything in iland. I miss all my friends here… I just hope that someday I start writing…. Keep smiling:):)
Thanks for going through my post and for your discerning views. Yes, one is free to spend one’s money. But we’re all connected with each other. The same life current flows over all living beings. To me, it seems unethical to spend your spare money of Rs.2-1/2 crore on a ring when other persons are dying of hunger and the money can be utilized better in a social cause. However, it all depends on how you look at things ….
Hi Jerome, I’ve not been able to post my comments on your post as they say, the characters are not matching. Indeed, it is a very thought provoking writeup reg. arguments. I agree with you that two people can have absolutely different views, argue amicablly and co-exist. When you have different views than mine on a particular subject, it just means that your inputs are different; you are not looking at the subject from my angle — and that’s all right.

and now the poem, come on never say it was bad, at least to keep my good humour say it is so so, well for last many days i thought i am losing track of human journey, thought for a real man. but tell me whether you liked it or not..

thank you. yes, i would have exactly what you said about the post. i wish i could have dispensed with the wheel mark and be conscious that life could be better than our living. it could be different than we could suggest. i wished to make a few ammendments after your thought and know that was not enough.

Jerome, it is like a relatively big disc behind my head - so a slight peripheral vision ensures we see it. You can try it with a pillow or something. I meant it seriously but of course, I don’t expect anybody to take it seriously. You don’t have to apologize for that I don’t expect people to take me on faith, nor do I take anybody on faith. I may vouch for somebody’s honesty. But the bottomline, for me, is if there is no proof there is no point going too far building theories, and one has all the more reason to be skeptical. I also didn’t have anybody else tell me there was disc behind my head. So that’s that But all the same, I believe, this happened to me.

Don’t be heart broken! wish i was a professinal writer! But if you managed to laugh …then mission accomplished for me….. coz at least my last statement was meant to drag smiles! And this story was a challenge by my department friends..they gave me the heading and i wrote the story based on habits and behaviour of people of my department…. so that way i just stated facts ….love can have humor????

Well written blog….

i had been to a bonda village in koraput of orissa, the abject existence and the meaninglessness of human movement there overpowered the tender emotions. well i just rewrote the diction and tried to make it a little less dark, if possible have a look.

Ok.. As such that was addressed to Sarath He had said that so far no one had criticized the parents, on your blog, so I said I had called the parents psychologically ill and recommended psychiatrist treatment for them, so its not that no one criticized the parents. And then said I didn’t see criticism of parents as the best sign of honesty. I thought self-criticism is the best sign of honesty. So this was my opinion on his opinion….
And I also said that criticizing parents in this case doesn’t serve any purpose, but if we support the victim and try give some suggestions for her to cope up with the hard time, it would help her and many more children like her. This was the reason why I thought many people didn’t criticize parents openly.
For your clear question if what she did was right or not – it was not wrong. She had to stand up for her rights and she did in a way which situation demanded… So its alright..
Think Tank
As such a gentle change may be on her way – its not that the new person who comes in her life would also be negative – there is a great chance that he would be a nice and understanding person and everything would become very all right. This is what I think…

Rahul

Yes, she did very right by standing up against the exploitation. What should she do next is a very difficult question. Since I can only think, I think she should be prepared for what ever comes next. All the tough things that happen to us in our life happen with a reason – difficult times are not to break us but to make us strong and immune to such hurts. She should focus on her career and should be ready to even go solo if the need arises. But at the same time she should not be harsh on her parents and till they are nonviolent she should respect them. We don’t respect others for what they are – but we respect them for what we are. If she remains financially independent, I think she can lead a very righteous and unexploited life. She can even think about joining some extra courses to build her career, she is on her own and she has to be ready for even worse.

Ya Jerome that was a less dramatic and drastic step. A small one too, but the best part is that it worked. Totally agree with you. But though it seemed to be a small step, it wasnt. Slapping your parents is not a small thing. Needs lot of guts and a strong reason for that. The girl\’s threshhold limit had reached to such an extent that she had to take this step. But as I said, it liberated her. That was the best part..

hi, jerome
thanks for your comments.
to answer your question in regard to my post, i guess we fell in love with each other at the wrong time and wrong place. i wasn’t ready when he wanted to marry me, but it was too late when i was ready to marry him. besides i am not indian…everything about me was just too much for him at the end. he was scared to fight the rest of world for me, i think.

Iland is not the only way we can meet, Jerome We will have cross-platform (blogging platform) interactions or by email.
Thanks for asking me not to go it, of course, feels good. But it was not an easy decision to take, and I felt sad too.
Also I don’t post (what I think of as) chaff if it is that, I’d rather not post, than post it here at rediffiland
Will keep in touch.

Yes, Jerome; I meant the agreements are in support of the arrogance of mankind. I do agree with you that science and technology contributed very positively to mankind. I don’t need a proof, and I think neither do you I don’t think the operative word was “every”; even saying “most” problems and defending it in any open forum scares me, from past experiences. As for the scriptures thing, that is one thing I really find tough. Many of those guys who say this, I get along with. I keep pointing out science is about process; you don’t have to take anything on faith. No scientist “says” anything like Krishna or any scripture. He demonstrates, derives, shows etc. Even those guys use scientific proofs to validate an “interpretation” of any scripture. I want to say it is their attitude of taking something on faith that results in us being fooled. But it is usually a waste of time, causes unpleasantness, and is generally difficult for me

Dear jerome, i appreciate whatever you wrote above my attacking comment in nikhats post.lolz, yes, i was agitated, coz that post was not necessary at all, we all write political posts, but never in this manner, we criticize the govt, not the people……….and her “hate lab” theory is all wrong, morever, my friend, she objected in lines like sanghe shakti, which means unity is strength.However, i do feel that, that such hatred must not be spread in the iland!I hope and wish you understand my lines too!

Hey thanks a ton. U said it so well. I hope the others get the point too. Have a nice day!

You can check the reply… Sorry in case you won’t like it, but if you pick up the points from the arguments and try to understand what the other person is trying to say instead of arguing or attempting to counter and nothing but counter, you would get the points… Specially see the second last one in the comment box….
