@Usha, the Neel kurinji you mentioned sounds like the Karvi flowers that bloom once every seven years in Sahyadi mountains in Maharashtra. these flowers also bloom on the Kaas plateau abundantly but the year that we visited this place was unfortunately not the year for Karvi to bloom. Last these flowers bloomed were in 2013. So we have to wait a few more years to see them now.

The thought that woman should travel with women only mirrors the age old belief that women are weak. Those days have gone and women are coming up with the spirit of Adventurism. The Nomad's case itself says that women are on the march and are coming f age.

There are many travel companies making it easier for women travelers who wish to travel alone..Should women travel only with other women? Should they do so on occasion? If the trip is one of outdoor adventure, involving physical challenge, should they travel only with other women?

rambabu replied to the topic How To Help Your Child Deal With Bullying.
Teaching is an art. A teacher has in the class different kinds of students. Different kinds of behaviours. A child who who is brought up by parents who themselves are bullies and believe in negative tactics to make their children disciplined, will continue his behaviour in the same way as he was brought Up. Similarly a submissive and humble child shows the same behaviour in the school too. It's here the teacher's role comes. With patience both kinds of children can be made well behaved. But unfortunately it's not happening due to indifference in teachers.

usha manohar replied to the topic How To Help Your Child Deal With Bullying.
Normally children are brought up with a lot of care and love within the family and when they go to school for the first time they come face to face with bullying , in most cases through their own teacher! With no strict laws against spanking and physical abuse, the teachers mishandle the children, using verbal abuse and often spanking the children ...they seem to think that their image is not complete without a stick in their hand. Here the stronger children who have already been exposed to abuse at home by their parents, get encouraged to use bullying tactics on weaker children in the class. This is something that I have seen and also complained against a couple of teachers who simply were not cut out to take care of little children because of their penchant for using physical punishment at the slightest given opportunity .

There are many ways for bottle gardening.Only thing you have to see is proper sunlight and air are available to the small plants in the bottle. Definitely they serve as decorative objects.

True. You said about your experience related to your son and also said how you averted it. As you said, let's face the truth.. Inject all the good habits into your son right from the formative years. Irrespective of the schools and their teachings. Let the parents have the satisfaction that they had done their job.

A while ago I described an incident regarding bullying which my son faced a year ago but at submission the server error played havoc. Now, once again I cannot write the full experience which took almost 300 words to explain so briefly let me present my view. At that time the school was not considerate which demoralised my son but with our interference the teachers changed their stance. Thus, home is the first tutor and school acts usually according to their convenience.

Bottle garden is a beautiful form of decoration. Never thought that a glass bottle with narrow neck can do such wonder!

No doubt, things are changing. Indian woman are breaking gender stereotypes. My condition apply like campaign shows the new image of Indian woman. However status of woman in rural area demands a lot of improvement.

The faulty socio economic system is cause for huge gap between rich and poor. We need to change the socio economic system by empowering the relatively less fortunate by equipping them with skill and resources. we also need to make the law on inheritance more just.
