In some cases daily routine can be the cause of discomfort for others , like it happened recently in my neighborhood - One of my neighbor had a huge compound around his house and he sold most of the land to a builder keeping the house and a little land around it.Now an apartment block has come up there which overlooks his house and compound. This neighbor had the habit of wearing a short pair of shorts and doing exercise in his backyard which was ok until now. Now that owners have moved into the apartment, some of them find it awkward. So, he was politely asked to do his exercise inside his house , which he refused saying he has been doing it all his life, so the association lodged a complaint against him for indecent exposure LOL... after which he is now doing his workout inside although at times he wanders out into the garden in his shorts..
Poor fellow, how he must repent selling that land!!! LOL... He should now, in effect, return a fictitious award to the government citing increasing intolerance, after all his freedom to exercise in fresh air has been taken away!

Also, Nayantara's open support to Rahul Gandhi also reflects her own wisdom and maturity fully well!

@ Lopamudra , Kalyani, I too read every night , at least a few pages without which my day/night is night complete..The same with my children !
@ anil, most of our days are filled the same routine , often quite boring ! As far as friend circle is concerned, we at Boddunan are all your friends I have known you for more than 5 years now from the other site !
thanks, yes I miss all of you when for some reason I can't log in. You are all virtual friend but for me you all more than physical friend.
For most people now browsing has become an integral part of their daily routine, so much so that it has replaced some healthy habits they had earlier like exercise and walking. I know of some people , both men and women who cut down on house work just so that they could be online for a longer period of time.

Adding chapter of Hemu Kalani is not saffronizing of education. Hemu Kalani was a freedom fighter. Second thing Urdu is not popular in Rajasthan. No doubt Hindi and Urdu is sisters. Teaching of Sanskrit is not evil.
Yours is a very balanced view , it also goes to show how intolerant some people have become so much so that anything connected to a minority issue is blown out of proportion , twisted around and a different meaning is given..
Here is not reason to oppose Sanskrit, Sanskrit in mother of all languages. Computer language is basically Sanskrit. Foreign languages also have words of Sanskrit.
Sanskrit is the mother of many language. We should be proud of the fact that Sanskrit was born in this country. It's also known as the Divine language.
It is my suggestion that from 6th to 12th class students must be learn one Indian language in each class. In 7 years 7 Indian language, Tamil, Telgu, Bangali, Marthi, Kannad,......
In Karnataka, students learn Kannada the state language as second language when English is the medium of education.They also learn Hindi as third language until 10th standard. I guess this happens in all the southern states..

The saffron brigade could be powerful for the time being but tey can't escape without challenge. May be the merereturning of awards is symbolic andthis may have no affect.
That was a fabricated case in UP which has nothing to do with Center and no one is talking about Kashmiri Pundits or Sikhs which happened under the nose of Congress government directly.

In fact URDU is no language but a dialect of Hindustani written in Persian script which is only promoting Arabian culture in India. Why can't the people write Urdu in their regional languages. People suggest writing Hindi in Roman script, the language having the potential of becoming the best computer language in the world, but when it comes to URDU (which is not even a language) it should be written in Persian. What a joke! Whom are we trying to appease?
I favor writing all languages in Roman script. The Urdu stories in Rajasthan Textbooks were also in Devnagri script and not Persian. I have seen many invitation cards by Muslim in Deva Nagri script though language is Urdu. I may reiterate here that Urdu and Hindi are similar. In our talk, it is not possible to say whether you are speaking in Urdu or Hindi. Personally, I favor writing Urdu in Devnagri script or Roman.
I am sure you know the fact that Muslims always prepare two sets of invitation cards in our area one for their Muslim friends and relatives In Persian and the other one for other communities in English or Hindi. It's the same as they prepare the menu for Muslims for marriage and other communities whom they invite for reception or Walima as the case is. I have been brought up in Lucknow and Allahabad so I can speak Urdu and have a liking for the language too. But when we link it with any religion or politicize it the problem begins.
