Of course. I could follow you.As far as my beliefs and attitude are concerned, they are purely personal. No body has the right to talk about them.

The connection is that both have survived for centuries and according to your theory if anything has survived so long there must be truth in it.

The most amusing comment came from Jyotiradya Scinda who went overboard with his speech and called Sonia Gandhi Sherni...But as far as I remember there are no lions in Italy since 15th century..LOL, the length to which these sycophants go is laughable. Another comment was about foreigners colluding with them and he is talking about the Italian Madame who is their leader ! Laughable ... shows their desperation !

If I remember correctly the UCC in Goa was done during Portugese rule and is continued after its liberation. So it was not done by any Indian party like BJP or Congress etc. And there can always be another view point. Why you get so worked up to call him almost a anti national. By your yardstick there are only three nationalists in the whole country.

In the year 1985, the Supreme Court ordered Shah Bano's husband to pay maintenance allowance to Shah Bano after divorce. The Islamic patriarchal minds did not like women winning a case over men. There were demonstrations and protests.The SC gave a chance to the government (under Rajiv Gandhi) to initiate the work towards having a Uniform Civil Code. However, Mr. Gandhi succumbed to the pressure of the Muslim community and instead of abolishing separate laws instead of the ones by the Constitution, his government in fact made necessary amendments to negate the effect of the SC judgement.
If Goa can implement UCC successfully , with a dominant Catholic population I don't see any problem in implementing UCC by different states.In fact BJP should start doing this in their own states for a start. Once they consolidate their position in almost all the states , there will be no problem in implementing it at the center as well..
I completely agree with you. The BJP had an agenda, they must implement it, starting with the states they rule.But so far nothing has happend and 24 months have gone like the wind. 36 months is not far off and its about time Modi pulled up his socks.
You cannot do anything forcefully, two years while compared to what has been so far is a very short period of time..They need t know the ground realities and also get out of the many tangles that Congress has put forth,one can see what an eventful scam filled period this has been...I am sure they will do so because it is in the interest of all concerned to do so but some people will want to criticise the move simply because Congress dint do it so BJP if managed t do so will be one up on them, so bring in Hindu law and all sorts of half truths just to confuse the minority and fuel them towards a confrontation, that is the main idea of all these claims about Hindu law, nothing else..

Who has given you and your likes the authority and mandate to condemn any one without proof and evidence. Why are you in a perennial mode of a judge passing judgements left and right based on your bias. How can you do so when agencies are still gathering evidence. It is tis aspect that I write against. A jaundiced eye sees it as singing Bhajans and as usual again you have passed a judgement. Old habits die hard.

Following someone is not a crime. But while following ignoring, the biggest of the scams happening under one's nose, is a grave crime.

Neither an effort nor tons of luck is required to to nail the Corrupt Congress. Long ago, it dug its own grave. Difference is, it took a bit more time. Now, one can definitely say, Congress will live there forever.

Honestly speaking I am not a great novel reader. I love to read articles, short stories and poems. My 14 year old son is a voracious reader and I have noticed that he is fond of Amish Tripathy whose genre is mythology. As we all know, presently, Chetan Bhagat is a very popular novelist who writes in a very casual English. Those who love the English language, they are not fond of Bhagat's English.
I want to read Amish Tripathy's Shiva trilogy books, I have heard that they are quite good. I am very much surprised and pleased to know that your 14-year-old son has reached the stage where he is reading those books, as some of the adults have found it a little hard to understand them. I personally too am not really fond of Chetan Bhagat's style of writing, although his ideas behind each of his books are good.
Kalyani, His school and being parents we encouraged him to read books and now, he is a bookworm. He has finished series after series of many authors. He is extremely fond of Greek and Roman mythologies. Amish Tripathy's Scion of Ikshivaku is another favourite of his other than the Shiva Triology. Well, books of Chetan Bhagat, I personally feel is not of his age and even he shows no interest in reading his books. He loves to read detective books also such as Sherlock Homes, Agatha Christie and translated works of Satyajit Ray.
THat is really great Shampa! Nowadays most parents complain their children don't read books but they themselves don't take much efforts to inculcate reading habits in the children. LIke you, I too have encouraged and motivated my son a great deal and at 8, he is already reading more books than a 10-year-old kid. Just yesterday, we got his report card and teh teacher's remark says it all, "Adroit Arnav is a voracious reader and an ocean of knowledge at such a young age" My day was made simply reading that!
Right now, he is reading more of Asterix and Obelix and has become a great fan of Julius Caesar and reads up on everything he can find out about him. Do recommend me some good books on Roman and Greek mythology since your son is reading those books. I am sure its a good sign yor son is refusing to read Chetan Bhagat books, no offense intended to Chetan Bhagat fans of course, it is my personal opinion. You should now introduce him to classics such as Jules Vernes adventures, he will love them!
Thanks a lot for your suggestion. He reads classics too but he has not read the one you suggested. My son is popular in school because of his reading habit and his librarians too try to give him books even on the days when it's not his turn. Now, he is in school so later I will let you know the names of the books you wanted to know.
Though reading habit is good, it becomes a problem when the child fails to restrain himself for his regular studies. I have to always restrict him because he fails to control his temptation of reading storybooks.
True Shampa, restraint from reading books when they should be playing or doing some other thing does become a problem at times, but can be dealt with by remaining firm and insisting on some proper play time and study time etc.
I am sure he will love Jules Verne adventures, you may have heard of them such as Around the World in Eighty Days, Journey to the Centre of the Earth etc. which have also been adapted rather nicely into films.
Kalyani, I conveyed your suggestion to my son and the response I received from him is that he is in search of those books but they are not available in his school library. So, I have to arrange them for him. He loves to read Shakespeare as well as Roald Dahl. Well, he has read the abridged version of Homer's Iliad and Odyssey in prose form. As you wanted to know the names of some books, my son told me about the Percy Jackson books based on Greek mythology written by Rick Riordan.
Ah yes, Percy Jackson series, my son has been asking me for those books but I was not sure until now whether he would be able to understand them at his age. A couple of his older friends have read them and so my son is asking for them. I suggest you buy Jules Verne books, they are worth collecting for ever. If he is interested in animals, you could also get him a few of Gerald Durrell books such as 'My Family and Animals', "The Corfu Trilogy" etc. They are extremely delightful and funny, a chronicle of his days of growing up with his large family and the ever-expanding collection of animals in his family he and others kept bringing home. Really humorous and funny, you would enjoy those books too.
Yes, I will definitely by Jules Verne books during this summer vacation. I will ask my son to check the books of Gerald Durrell if he is interested or not. Thanks for all the suggestion. Though I am not at all into reading storybooks, I have started reading The Complete Adventures of Feluda by Satyajit Ray. I am enjoying it. If your son loves detective stories then he will like it too. You can check it on the web to have its feel.

BJP, will definitely do, what it's supposed to do. Modi, is not a novice. As you said, it's certainly having an agenda. BJP must be having a pre decided order to implement the points in its agenda. He will follow that order. A Statesman like modi knows all about the ruling of a Country

Generally, YES
If foretelling or prediction by the Astrologers, or Palmists are not true, these would not have survived for Centuries. There are believers of Astrology. There are non - believers too. Both believers and non - believers must be having their own reasons for believing or not believing. Leaving the issue is the wise way without making an issue.
