The line between normal and abnormal is very thin, We normally associate certain behaviors with mental abnormality probably going by what is shown in films .But the most dangerous trait like Schizophrenia can be found even in very normal looking people, it comes out only when their stress levels are tested to the highest levels ..

I doubt if the writers see it that way, they take this step of returning their awards because a certain party is in power...Their grouse is nit against the state government which failed to protect them, but against the central government ! So it is they who are politicising the issue !

usha manohar answered the question The Best Real-Life Love Story Ever Made On Silver Screen.
I really dont know any real life romance that has been made into films..However, all great love stories are tragic which beats the purpose of love and romance being the ultimate feeling there is ! I prefer happy love stories , the ones that end happily at least for a few years if not for life time ...

Raivnder Jain though blind, through his melodious compositions made himself immortal. His most melodious composition are
Geet Gata Chal from the movie Geet Gata Chal, Jab Deep Jale aana in the movie Chitchor to name a few
Lata never sing for him before Ram Teri Ganga Mali, Sun Sahiba sun is best one composition of Ravinder Jain. Ram Babu a def person can feel vibration. I am also deaf, but with my hand I can feel some sounds.

True. Ignorance and superstitions about Health leads to such gory killings. It seems spreading awareness in the people may help to some extent. I'm sure no legislation can stop this witch hunting. Even if somebody falls sick for any reason, witch hunters especially in the villages think that it is done by witches.
Poverty is also behind these types of evils. Education is only and only solution of this problem. It is very hard job to change psyche of peoples but not impossible. It require some time and hard work.

rambabu wrote:
The reason for bad breath is indigestion and improper brushing of teeth. Of course sweat also can irritate the people around. But for sweat,taking bath with lemon juice mixed with Luke warm water will reduce the bad smell of sweat.
Taking bath is effective to remove sweat's stench. But how many time we can bath in a day 2 or maximum three time. We can't stop sweat. It is good to improve over eating habits. Avoid khenni and other chewable Tobacco product.

yes this type of practice is in fashion in rural area. Some time relative and family members also chained mental ill because they have not money for treatment.

They are similar in some respects. but as far as the location of the pressure points are concerned they are different. Both treatments stimulate these pressure points.
Basically it is accupressure but person who trace new points, give it new name. Our body have thousands points. I know one more, it clap therapy. Claping for five minutes.
Yes clap therapy is another alternative therapy. When you clap, all the pressure points located in the hands are stimulated. It results in normalizing the Blood pressure and strengthens lungs and heart.
Yes clap therapy is very useful in blood pressure problem. I tried it many time. Each I felt relief.

It is true that remaining honest in many depts of government and private companies is very difficult. For every honest person there are perhaps 100 ready to accept favors dishonestly. Thus the honest person is not only disliked but also hated. Usually he gets transferred to places where there is very little scope of dishonest dealings like record keeping, library or technical or statistical depts. and is condemned to a isolationist existence. Grudging respect is all he gets for being honest .

It would do a world of good if issues were not seen above this party and that party or referring constantly to past incidents. The present is far more important because it is the reality. Personal egos and superiority complexes cannot be excuses for rational ideas to be denounced. Whether a govt agrees or not , the govt during whose time incidents occur are held responsible by common people and punished at time of elections, most of the time. It is the sly polarization under the garb of development that is worrisome. Does not matter which political party does it. It is going to harm the country in the long run. Even forums like ours will not be allowed to operate. Does it not worry us? What is use blaming the past. Let us think of the future.

Unfortunate instances mentioned in the article and posts . Corruption does seem to be a way of life for many.But that can not mean honesty is obsolete or passe. It is one's personal choice and preference. For me, it is better to be side stepped or transferred because of my honesty than reach great heights through dishonesty . I can face the world if I've been wronged but I'll not be able to answer to myself if I have done wrong. Depends on priority. Moreover, I would still like to believe that honesty does pay in most cases if coupled with hard work and being street-smart/worldly wise. An honest person can be worldly wise as well.

First of all the government at the center has not sanctioned any of the killings , either of the rationalist writers nor the lynching in UP and all of it should be condemned in the strongest of words and culprits punished suitably ..If at all the UP government should take responsibility for the later attack and the Karnataka government for the attack on Kalburgi. There were always attacks in India , in fact even worse atrocities committed on tribals and Dalits and rational voices were curbed in West Bengal not once but many times , but no one seemed to really care nor did they think of returning their awards.. The largest communal violence took place in 1984 where nearly 3000 sikhs were brutally massacred and of course other than lip sympathy no one really did anything nor did the rationalists go on a protest when the people directly responsible for the violence have been roaming free with the help of the concerned party leaders...The sikh riots are still an issue with sikhs who have lost their families and loved ones if people think it is a one time agenda they should think of the distress that this one time agenda has caused for generation of sikh families .
I see intolerance in these rationalists who do not want to be a part of the mainstream.No one is taking away their right of expression but when you live in a society you have to blend in and any thought you express should not hurt the sentiments of people...I have had the experience of interacting with some of the rational writers who were the office bearer for writers group here and one can see the intolerance at every level , they tend to think they are superior beings , which is more than anything amusing .This is also communalism and many common people find it very insulting. If at all clashes take place, it is because of such attitude more than anything else, and, if they want to truly bring in changes they need to convince rather than confront and insult peoples beliefs . But I seriously doubt if they have any such agenda, it is protest for the sake of protest , indirectly showing their support to a political party ..
