We cannot write off any language as ‘dead’ just because it is not a spoken language of the masses. Sanskrit is alive in the form of many of the valuable ancient literature and scriptures. Having studied till 10th class, I have some fundamental ideas of Sanskrit. It has helped me a lot in many occasions, especially while learning the meaning of the shlokas in Gita, which I believe is one of the most beautiful philosophical poems in the world. Sanskrit language has some kind of enchanting beauty, depending on the concept of beauty of each individual. Instead of killing it, let us allow it to die a natural death in due course.

usha manohar answered the question Which condition is more shameful to a family?.
There is no shame in either love or any marriage however it happens, the so called family honor is actually something that gets importance in an immature mind ! Otherwise they will not go around killing their own child or relative .Even if a marriage goes sour, whether arranged or love marriage , it is not the end of the world ! Things have not worked out so carry on living and hoping for the best ..If a girl is educated and firm in her beliefs besides being financially independent, she will be able to handle her life without bowing to family pressures or bothering about gossip from family and relatives , if things go wrong !

True we have messed up terribly. Also there seems to be no awakening, the ever increasing sale of vehicles is proof that people simply do not wish to slow down for the sake of this earth and for humanity. True, there are efforts being taken to remedy the situation but the magnitude of destruction and damage is too big in proportion!
Yes increasing vehicles on roads is also problem. In these days school students are using bikes. Their parents don't understand that how is using cycle is good for health of their children. There is no shortage of idiots, one of my neighbor blasting bombs, the sound of these are enough to disturb my TV signals. How sound of these bombs are badly affecting enviornment.
Noise pollution is one of the worst problems we have in India along with of course other pollutants. Thankfully I have seen a great awareness among people in my town and we have just 25% of the usual noise that is associated with Deepavali. No doubt you want to light some fireworks but the noisy ones are so disturbing..I see much less noise this year and I am glad about it.

usha manohar replied to the topic celebrating Tipu sultan Birth day .
Tipu fought against the British just to save his empire and not to free India ...But of course facts get twisted and distorted to suit the people in power. He now becomes a patriot to some , and raping, killing and forcibly converting a few hundred Hindus is no big issue definitely nothing compared to dadri killing and Kalburgi Killing ! The problem with the so called (in)secularists and Communal parties is that they dont look beyond their immediate benefit and would go to any extent to distort facts , when it hinders their own agenda . Karnataka state is having the dubious distinction of having Rape a week in the Capital city Bangalore, but does a corrupt Siddaramaiah and his grand old party care ? Tipu's birth anniversary celebration for which a lavish amount has been granted precedes all else - power crisis/shortage, farmers suicide, rape and the worst ever law and order situation !

Nobody denies the richness of Sanskrit. But how can you say that a language no more capable of communication is alive. Being rich and containing valuable knowledge does not amount to status of living language. Language is a means of communication and medium of instruction and administration. Sanskrit is not spoken language. Sanskrit is not used in govt offices even if declared as second or third official language. Sanskrit is not medium of instruction in any school. In this scenario, I wonder how you call this living language. A rich language can also be instinct. This is just as Dhirubhai Ambani is not living though very rich.
You may not be aware but there are hundreds of people who are studying, researching and creating their own works in Sanskrit. It probably might be a very small tribe but that tribe is increasing, not only in India but in European nations, especially in Germany. It might look dead to you. but it is not and is well on its way to another revival. So do not dismiss it so quickly./
One can easily understand why Sanskrit is getting this step motherly treatment by the grand old party and its followers. Sanskrit is the language of Bharat and Hinduism, so it has to be condemned at all costs , right or wrong !

Yoga, physical activity and morning walk helpful in keep away from ailments if we are sincer for our eating habits. A person who like only to eat Pizza Pasta, how can yoga and physical activity keep away from diseases. Ayurveda insist on including 6 tests in our food to be a healthy diet.
There is no disease that cannot be cured by Yoga. This is the reason why United Nations General Assembly declared International Yoga year to be observed on December 11 every year. The best thing about Yoga is, it is inexpensive.

The purpose of cancelling the Gas subsidy is no doubt good. But, the example you quoted, a millionaire using the gas subsidy is misusing the facility aimed to help the people below poverty line.
In this country most of subsidy is using by millioners. Here in my city many wealthy families get BPL Ration cards. Once government decide to paint BPL family on their houses. They also started protest it, and plan of government went in the dustbin.
Very very true. This clearly says that, our acts made for poor are working only for rich and influential. And the Governments too are looking the other way. It's always the poor who suffer.

anil answered the question Which is better? Land or apartment.
Invest in land or flat, it is not depends on in single factor. Our budget, needs, spare time to build house. If we need house to live immediatley, than it is better to buy flat. For investment purpose land is better option. Price of land is appericated but price of construction is always depriciated.

Fire crackers which explode with big noise lead to Noise pollution causes Deafness and permanently damage the inner ear. This further leads to head reeling and and several Ear related problems.
