Bajirao answered the question Why men become bald in their early 30s?.
I have noticed too that many men are getting bald and look older at younger age (around 30's) which make me wonder what is the reason behind this issue. The problem is not only about getting bald at young age, if you notice many old age diseases are acquired by youngsters like heart diseases, etc.
The reason behind this is technology oriented world has made our life more stressful, there is no time to relieve your stress, no time to socialize. People are running after money as world is becoming more competitive and everyone want t be ahead in this competition. This was not the case 40-50 years back.

Bajirao answered the question Do you find shopping a relaxing activity ?.
I like to go for shopping when I am bored or tensed about something.. Shopping helps to divert the mind and keep it engage with something that is more visual.. Its not necessary I will purchase everytime I shop, but yes just window shopping makes me feel good.

Religion and Politics is different. Making Political Parties on the basis of religion is not good. Each religion has its values and importance. Religion is sacred and should not mix it with Politics. Try to make Political Parties by including all sections of the society. Otherwise, we will lose peace and safety from our life.

Jincy Aby replied to the topic Can anyone tell how dowry has been created at first..
In ancient period, dowry was not an important criteria in Indian society. It was given as a gift to the girl by her family during her marriage. It was given in the presence of all relatives and friends to ensure that everyone were witness to it. Like this way parents secured the life of their daughters in their husbands' house. Girls had freedom to keep this money with them. They also had freedom to use this money for their own needs.
As time passed, the groom's family started to ask more demands and money from girls' family. This was the origin of dowry system. Rich people were able to give more money to their girl children. But it was not possible for the poorest section of the society.

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.

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.

MG Singh replied to the topic Anti India slogan in JNU, Delhi.
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.

When a church was attacked recently you immediately stated that this was done by the communal Congress and the Leftists. Yesterday seven persons have been arrested by BJP govt. of that State and they have accepted that they are from Bajrang Dal & allied parties. Now you must say they are also wrong. Only that which matches with your beliefs is right. Kejriwal is now crazywal. Great
