Actually drinking or smoking when becomes an addiction then only it's harmful. Too much of anything is an intoxication so one needs to learn to be in control
That is my view too...if one likes to have a drink now and then within limits no harm done as long as it remains so and does not become an addiction !
@usha manohar Neither you nor I am promoting the habit of drinking. When habit becomes addiction then it is definitely harmful otherwise it's not a point of concern. Actually, I have noticed that those who do not drink, always try to demean those who drink but they must understand that whoever drinks is not a drunkard. They are drunkards who cannot limit their consumption of alcohol. Every office party arranges drinks so how can one name it as army culture. Such statements are full of prejudice.
I am guessing that, it is called army culture because they could buy it in their canteens even when there was restriction for others..However, I know scores of elderly people well into their late seventies , in my own town who take one or two drinks every evening and live a very fit,active life . So, it has to do with the individual, lifestyle choices and general health of the person.

usha manohar replied to the topic Minority ( Islam Christian) do not wish to be ruled by Hindus. They still have grandiose dreams of Muslim rule and British rule when chirtiisns had a free run.
Ideally Religion should be a personal choice and it should have no bearing on ones social and political atmosphere.But in our country Religion has become the most favorite and powerful tool used by politicians, social thinkers so called intellectuals and even common men when it suits them to use against the system and each other. No doubt it was the political class which ignited the flame in the early days , but now it has engulfed all spheres of our life ..

I repeat my question that Rambabu and M G Singh should provide proof that Muslim leaders have said they do not want to be ruled by Hindus in India. If not then say so or withdraw. What are you going to gain by making allegations like indigestion, biased views, cock and bull, trash can, terms. These only expose you. Also a globe trotter need not have broad views as is apparent. Answer and do not resort to cheap allegations.
It is interesting to read your comment. Firstly about my being a globe trotter is true and secondly it gives me a greater horizon as I see how other Muslim nations are progressing and here in India the Muslim law board is not even ready to do away with the obnoxious triple Talaq.
The demand of Muslims for a seperate home land is rooted in History and was articulated by Iqbal. Jinnah took it up and stated that Hindus and Muslims cannot live together. He coined two nation theory. Remember Jinnah represented ALL MUSLIMS of the Sub- continent. In fact the Muslims in Punjab, NWFP and Sind were not too keen on Pakistan and Indian Muslims were more keen( Last days of the British Raj by L Mosley).
After independence it is actions that speak more than words. The Muslim community is into a shell and isolationist and not wanting to join the national stream. Now they want the Sharia and special status. Emotionally they are with Pakistan and that is the reason many Muslism are joining the ISI. Very soon it will be a flood.
Muslims in India want their own world and the Congress pampered them. They can't talk of Hindu rule, because India is not a Hindu rashtra. The day it is declared a Hindu rashtra the Muslims will revolt. I spent a lot of time in the Air Force and in any discussion about Pakistan the Muslim officers left the table. There are somethings that are percieved and not stated, but despite people like you, the Intelligence directorate and Army are there to see that dreams of a Muslim homeland do not come up again.

Kalyani Nandurkar said thank you to chinmoymukherjee for his/her reply to the topic An Interesting Read For everyone....
Now you say that I have not betrayed you,good! In fact if anyone cares to go through archives you and I fought many a violent debates bloodlessly without a trace of acrimony or rancour. Then what did you thank him for?You talk of speaking the truth and the path of truth is always straight and narrow.I have always criticized Modi whenever I felt I should. I strictly believe that development is the only plank that Modi can make some real change to the average lot of Indians.But what do we see now? Both opposition and some madcaps in his own party are out to thwart him flooding the country with all kinds of non-issues. Some people including a few members of this site have developed visceral hatred for Modi. Do note that he came to power on a popular mandate.If you are a true democrat don't insult the majority of people who plumped for BJP or Modi for that matter by constantly and persistently questioning their intelligence or wisdom.I challenge you to produce comparable figures of communal violence perpetrated during any regime and this NDA government under Modi and see for yourself!

Friendship is a very sweet relationship which can develop among two beings when they nurture it with honour and honesty. Pen friendship was also very popular and maybe many such friendships developed quite strong though I have no example to name. I hope that web friendship can also grow very strongly.
So true Shampa, once upon a time there used to be many pen friendships but now virtual friendships has taken its place. Forms change but relationships remain the same sort and can grow into long and deep friendships, provided all concerned parties are honest and willing to take it further.
Kalyani, the fact is every relationship be it a blood one or a friendship require one trait very strongly and that is honesty. If there is honesty in maintaining any kind of relationship then in no way it can crumble down. Maybe time or distance become a constraint but the feeling within hearts remain intact.

My dear Kalyani
I am pleasantly surprised you would start a forum thread to thank me for the gift; but in reality, it should be me who would thank you for being such a lovely friend. I am glad you liked the gift!
My dear Boddunan family,
Thank you very much for your lovely comments and praises for my small gesture. In fact I would like to share how I met Kalyani. I joined boddunan.com in July 2009 with the aim of earning few bucks; but never could i have ever thought I would earn few friends. I donot maintain many friends virtually, but a select few I keep and one among them is Kalyani. I met her through Atul Barapatre somewhere around December 2009 and what clicked among us was the love for the Language English! I would share antidotes with kalyani and we would be giggling our way out online! This year marks 7 years of Knowing her and since it is a leap year, I wanted to do something memorable. As a co-incidence, Kalyani sent me some details of art along with her postal address which then I thought would surprise her and thanks to online portal paytm.com; i could be able to send a small gift to her for her birthday!!! I wanted to send something very worthy like a diamond set, but I could manage to send something under my budget!!! (Sorry for the disappointment Kalyani!!!)
Even though I have not met Kalyani, she has been with me through thick and thin and her words of encouragement to me has always been like sweet water on a parched land. Thanks Kalyani for being a wonderful woman!
I wanted you all to know, I tried to be friends with Gulshan ji (the simplistic taxman I would call him) and also Chinmoy ji (the charming poet) and Ram Babu gaaru (The artist). Chinmoyji has been cheering me every time I am down and Ram Babu gaaru would greet me now and then on boddunan.
I have also to thank Sandhya Rani from kerala, who would have fun trying to analyze if Chinmoy ji was married or not (remember the old threads) and Sandhya would team up with Kalyani to help me lose my weight by gifting me an electric mosquito bat (where is it by the way??!!)
I know I am getting way too emotional, but due to my time constraints I am not able to spend much time with my boddunan family. If i am not present in Boddunan, boddunan is not taken away from me!!!(This is my line which I had shared with Atul). I still remember the first boddunan get together and second boddunan get together where I was prevailed to Meet Maverick!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you all , once again for the lovely words!
P.S- I can still be friends with those who donot know me....
Your emotional words reflect how much you value your friendships which is a wonderful trait. Loved to read your post.

rambabu replied to the topic How Rude and Shameless the Big Shots son's became.
Susheel is now in police custody for two days. The court did not denied bail, but, his plea for Bail will be considered only after the completion of the police custody. During the custody, Police will interrogate Susheel. Basing on the police report, the court will decide whether to grant bail or not to Susheel. Anyhow, I'm of the firm opinion People like Susheel should be punished.

Wel, thats great Rambabu sir, we are against dowry. I am happy by listening to this. But all people in the world are not like you. Most of the bridegroom parents demand like anything. for them marriage is a kind of investment and business.

From starting of match fix till the end of marriage they keep on grabbing money from the girls parents. they even grab money silly things also. At such situations bridegroom could not do anything and he just nod his head like buffallo in front of his parents.
But there are few bridegroom, though they obey their parents, at least they deposit the whole amount of dowry on both bride and bridegroom name or bride name.
Sarala, Dowry system has deeply rooted in this country. It is not that easy to eradicate this evil totally. This evil even today is still alive. We are aware how even educated women too are becoming the victims of Dowry harassment, What I feel is women should revolt. They should come out and take the help of Law. Only then this social evil can be eliminated.

The incident at JNU is a shame on all Indians. People are digressing about doctored videos. Are they denying that this slogan shouting didnt take place? The fact is it took place and needs the severest punishment.
In any other country ( including pakistan where even flying an Indian flag got the boy 10 years RI) the road is jail. Here we are making a hero of Kanhaiya. I think he is a shallow person and wont go far. If he were in Singapore ( an advanced society) he would have got 10 lashes with a whip and he would be sobered up.
Kanhaiya kumar is a menace to the Country's integrity. He has no right to live in this country. All those who supported him should not be lashed, but driven away from this country. It is the responsibility of the country to keep the country's sanctity.
