@Gulshanji I think you have put it very aptly. Things have become crystal clear.

In North India during Makar Sankranti a festival is observed known as Lohri. This relates to Shiva and Parvati too. I am not sure that the couples keep fast or not but at night they lit a fireplace and celebration takes place around it.

If a new member has felt hurt let us assuage it rather than be technical like some political party spokespersons when cornered in TV debates. Humility is a virtue though becoming scarce.

@suni51 I have clearly mentioned in my reply that every senior member or by the way any member has the right to remind if another member makes any mistake. There is always an appropriate way to do so. That's it!
@usha manohar It is applicable to all to do their work according to their own way but I very strongly feel that we should not be harsh. I would have appreciated your reminder if it was made in a soft way. Fine, now that I have openly conveyed what I felt bad I have nothing more to write on this issue.

I was not sure about my profession when I was at the younger age, but I was guided by my parents to become an engineering graduate. It was the right choice and I found Project Management of engineering projects as my favorite field. I enjoyed my profession because it gave me a lot of opportunities to stay and travel in different parts of the country.

BJP is not confused. We are confused. Just consider that RSS is the holding company whereas VHP, Bajarang Dal and other saffron extremist elements are subsidiary. Position is clear. They have common agenda. They speak in different voices only to confuse us.

If one can take changes in profession i the right spirit and show the same dedication it can be a learning process that adds on to ones experience and knowledge. One of my cousins who was a software Engineer working in the US has come back to India, to Mangalore precisely and become a full time agriculturist , initially because there was need to do so to save the ancestral land , but now he enjoys it , experimenting with various methods of paddy and pulses cultivation..

Men do not have to fast to get a good wife. Perhaps with more and more girls working and having a choice, soon men will also have to resort to fasting to get a good wife and pray for her long life.

@Vijai it has nothing to do with the thread though but don't you think it's a good sign that you do not know who is supreme unlike in congress party where everyone has to touch feet of its dictator. However, the run for unity program is run for unity, why try to find out faults in that?
I am not at all interested in finding faults with the run for unity. It is a good program and people should participate in it. What I meant was that when diverse multiple voices speak on behalf of a party confusion occurs as to which is the real agenda to be followed . I must say you are an astute observer of the internal going on of the Congress party with which I have no particular affinity or association.

The killing of people for free expression is something that has always happened in our country ...The period of emergency , which was sponsored by one dictatorial individual going on an intolerance drive ,saw the worst period when every voice was stifled . The grand old party now preaches as if it has done no wrong ! As far as run for unity is concerned, it is a step in the right direction. Intolerance needs to be curbed by all..

Usha was right when she posted that comment under your posts but once admin made that comment every rule changed. That was a rule which was in black and white but I could not find it out despite my best efforts). So you should not feel bad if a senior member reminded you about that.

Fasting is good for health when it is done in moderation...Many people fast on festival days like Krishna Ashtami and Shivaratri . They take only liquids like water and tender coconut water

I am doing Karva Chauth for many years. I am doing since i was in college. I always think what has attracted me to do fasting and for whom? I don't know, but i do each year and i love it. It is so fascinating to do fast and wait for Moon(Chand) to come outside at night.

I agree that politics today has lost all dignity and the politicians have become extremely self centered ..It may all be leading towards civil unrest which would be dangerous for our society . But at the same time one can analyse and go back into the past and gauge as to how things turned out this way and what paved the way .. Past mistakes have cast a long shadow

Well said @chinmoy. Though far fetched I am reminded of the period immediately after the French revolution when Simon the Butcher would sentence every one to the gullitone who could not improve the rapidly collapsing French economy. Today a Minister has come out with another gem that Did Sonia Gandhi not sleep the whole night when she heard of Osama bib Laden's death. One may have ideological differences but this is pure hatred from both sides. And that is where Vajpayee asking for Panditjis photo speaks volumes.
