If you are planning to visit Amritsar that also plan for some places of Himachal Pradesh or J&K Yes that definitely makes sense, cover all places of interest in that region at one go...I have not seen Rajasthan nor Himachal Pradesh, only heard , read and seen the pictures. I am waiting to visit all the places in that region since they are so scenic and beautiful . Winter season is best one to visit Rajasthan. Plan it in next month.

China is an example of technology. I read some day ago that when one over bridge damage China engineers make another one is few hours.

With advanced planning one can reserve government tourist accommodation at most tourist places. They are generally good, clean and provide food also' They are reasonably priced but one has to reserve them well before actual date because they are usually in high demand.

For once I agree with @Usha that do not wash your dirty linen in public. Best is to keep away from her as much as possible. Yes there are strange behaved persons with whom one has to learn how to deal by yourselves. BOL

Great and it has been in operation since 1996. At London's Heathrow airport there are horizontal "escalators" which are also very long.

Aamir is where he is because of his talent. It is not because Hindus patronized his movies. We are now breaking audiences into Hindus and Muslims. Talent will attract audiences irrespective of religion. Millions of Indians watch Hollywood movies. Should we start saying that Hindus are partronizing Christian makers and acted movies. Looks and sounds bizarre.

The period from 1975 to mid 1977 was a bad period for media, This is an established fact. however before that and after that the media has been free. The various govts. did indeed empower themselves with Acts which could be used against press. But how many times was it used other than 1975- 78 period. The press and media are and were free. This is something of which we should be proud.

There were always curbs on press freedom, more so during the time of Indira Gandhis rule .. http://www.pucl.org/from-archives/Media/freedom-press.htm   This insistence is necessary because experience all over the world, as well as our own experience since Independence, suggest that the State remains the source of the most potential threat to Press freedom. It cannot be overlooked that, within a short time after passing the Constitution, those in power - who used to swear by Press freedom before Independence-put in provisos to Article 19 (1) of the Constitution so as to clothe Government with powers to curb Press freedom. This was defended on the ground that these powers were likely to be necessary on occasions when the security of the State was threatened; it was emphasised that the powers will not be normally used. But a special legislation called the Press (Prevention of Objectionable Matters) Act was put on the statute book soon thereafter in 1951. No steps were taken to remove the lacunae which gave Government powers to intercept material going to the Press through the Posts and Telegraphs. Some Chief Ministers thought it proper to take steps against newspapers whose policy they did not like, whether it was a Morarji Desai in Bombay or a Charan Singh in U. P. A persistent attempt to curb Press freedom how ever really began only after 1969. Indira Gandhi felt that the Press was too critical of her ways and she sought to change its approach. Various threats were held out by Government and steps proposed to curb that section of the Press which was thought to be the most independent. With the aid of some native leftist organisations, a propaganda barrage was mounted against the Press as well as the judiciary both of which appeared to be not easily amenable to the wishes of Government. apparently the only reason why the idea of spreading the equity ownership of newspaper companies especially among the workers and the journalists employed therein was not pursued was the feeling that such a measure would give more power in the hands of trade unions who were opposed to the ruling party. On the other hand, arm-twisting of capitalist owners, especially of those who had many other industrial interests and were not very much concerned with the freedom of the Press, was thought to be not so difficult. The antipathy to the Press however continued and got further intensified, especially as most of the important papers expressed their dislike of the acts of the ruling establishment, and many of them advised the Prime Minster to resign after the Allahabad High Court Judgement in 1975. The antipathy culminated in the pre-censorship imposed in the country for the first time during the internal Emergency. That the pre censorship was used for partisan ends is sufficiently exemplified by the data published as a result of the various enquiries made in 1977-78.* The misuse of powers like pre-censorship was a adequately envisaged by the fact that these powers were even used to black out some unpleasant news about the criminal convictions of an actress, and of some businessmen.

It is best not to wash dirty linen in public especially since you are newly married and have a long way to go with your marriage and relationships !

Aamir was the darling of the movie goers of this country till yesterday. By making controversial statement on intolerance, he invited trouble for himself.though, he disowned his earlier statements, still he remains in the eye of the storm by his own undoing.

Nobody asks a politician to be a saint or a hooligan . They choose hooliganism as its the best way to exercis power and earn tons of money during his regime.

Of course, I agree a passport can be used as an identity card. As far as its purpose and usespare concerned I don't have any wrong ideas. What I want to say is, passport is not the only document that can be used as an identity card. I use Aadhar card, after stopping the renewal of my passport.

Basically Maharashtra govt's allegation is. Madarsa are notcomplying with the Govt's prescribed curriculum . Other things like giving shelter to extremists , sexual exploitation etc are the allegations levelled by some, who actually suffered extortion and sexual exploitation.

It's fine that politicians are not saints but who asked the politicians to be hooligans. Politicians can be gentleman too then what's the need that Mulayam Singh opted hooliganism.

sarala added the topic to his favorites: Why People behave very strangely?.
 Sorry the post is very lengthy but please read and suggest me a good advise.  Friends, this is the continuation already posted thread. I told you a 5 year old girl has spitted and her mom didnt say anything. So I stopped bother that family and even stopped visiting their house also. I felt it as a insult as her mom didn't even bother my complaint for courtesy. After 2 months I got a call from her mother. she want me to help for her girls science project. As I took shelter in her house for 3 months, with that gratitude, though her child insulted me, I went to her house and completed the science project. While working on the project, she started chitchating with me then she asked me, when her daughter has come to my home with my  lif husband, then why i didn't speak. then I replied to her that, I won't be talking to your daughter, she has insulted me by spitting on my face which i can never forget in my life time and your daughter is very egoistic that she don't even bother to apologize me atleast and you even didn't bother me when I complain you. She told, I don't remember anything. Then I said ok I didn't talk to your daughter but your daughter can talk to me right, then why didn't she talk and I even told, don't think your daughter is so innocent, she clever than you. Finally my co-sister made her daughter say sorry. Here the issued ended and from then I started talking to her daughter also. I hope you understood till now and now let me narrate the strangeness. I just wanna know why people change wickedly. In the upcoming narration can you please tell who is wrong me or she please. Before narrating i wana tell you some more things. I newly married and as i and my husband could not find house we took shelter in his brother house. So both brothers goto office. So i need to spend most of the time with co-sister. and she used to tell negatively about my husband that he also drink and all.  Now I will narrate what I want to narrate. So that 5 year girl issue has been finished right. so no more issues. So my husband asked me to come to his brother house with him. Actually my husband visit his brother house regularly to spend time with kids. So that day I also went with him. Since one hour we are there in their house but co-sister didn't come out. I thought she is not there in the home. Before we go she came out. I just smiled at her. and my husband his brother and co-sister were cracking jokes and I didn't get anything to talk. After so me time I and my husband came back to our home. Next day when my husband went to his brother house then co-sister complained him that I didn't talk to her when I went to her house. So later when my husband came home, he told me that she told that you didn't talk to her. I felt very bad. and I told him, first of all she didn't come out of the room for long time and i thought she is not there in the house and more over she complained you now though mistake is her's. thiis is really rediculous. As my husband is good person and has some sense, so he understood co-sisters nature and attitude whatever it is. So he didn;t scold me. But he left the issue and even told me to leave this issue over there. But my mind could not control, I was completely thinking she dont the mistake and she blamed me, and how much it is correct. So I felt so bad and my blood got boiled . actually i wanna question her direct her directly but some thing stopped me that is samskar. But I wanna give her a jerk indirectly. So I started posting quotes on facebook saying complaining bad and all. but i didnt give her name. I just posted generally. But she got irritated and she also started posting. but she didn't gave my name anywhere. But oneday she has commented under one of my quotes there she got  cought. But if i still fight then the issue still prolongs. So i wanna stop it. So i has messaged her, you has comment under one my quote but why you did like that i don't know. i posted all the quotes for my friends sake and you started imagining. I told there are no more issues between you and me. I told her I thought you are not there in the house on that day and before we go you came and there is no chance for me to talk to you at that time. am answeriing this as you have complained about this to my husband. Then she also answered me that she though only my husband has came so she didn't come out as she dont know that I also came. I even asked clearly are there any more issues are doubts you wanna ask. She told no and she even asked me. I also told no. All this conversation was in Facebook chat. I felt then peace of mind and I sign off. The next the when I login then I was shock. She has kept some message. She said that she felt very bad as  i didn't talk to her daughter for 2 months. she even said she asked her girl everything and her girl replied while playing by mistake it happend.  Then I didnt understand why she still bother the same issue. every thing related to this issue has been finished still she digging. I has informed this to my husband and I asked what to do to this lady now. He told just leave, she like playing such games but you don't because you have some goals to reach. so stop bothering. By listening to his words i didn't reply her. But actually I wanna reply her saying that when you asked her infront of me she told that she don't remember but now suddenly she remembered , so strange. But as i dont want to prolong the issue i didn't reply her. and I just wanna comeout of all these. So I made myself invisible in facebook and I removed my profile picture from watapp and i even removed last visit time in watapp. By seeing that she felt i have blocked her in wat app and she blocked me. then she kept a message in facebook saying you husband many time said many things to my kids and i adjusted my self. So your would have adjusted and she even invited me and my husband to her house to clear all the issues if we feel any issues are there. Actually I want to reply her saying there are many issues. if i really want to make issues i would have said you before that your second kid has sat on my food plate while eating but you husband and wife didn't ask me to take another plate. But as i dont want to prolong anything more so i didnt reply anything such. I just said i ddn't block you and i just removed my profile pic and time in watsapp. But she didn't kept silent. she keep on posting quotes on the facebook which is hurting me. She kept a quote that when people have need they behave one like and when the need over then they behave another like. Another quote is people wont have loyality and all some thing blablabla. Am not understanding what to do. Why she is behaving very strangely by hurting me with out my mistakes. So tell me friends what to do. sorry the post is very lengthy but please read and suggest me a good advise.
