Hi friends we all know that marriage is not merely the union of two people but two families. It is a beautiful connection ,but sometimes things turn ugly between the couple and then the obvious Divorce.
What really saddens me that the divorce brings a disconnection not only between the couple but even the family.
I have a cousin bro who got married about 18 years age. After a twelve year relation the couple decided to divorce for whatever reasons. My SIL was a wonderful person and everybody...

Dance is considered as a very good form of stress reliver but that wasnt in mind when I was hunting for a good dance teacher for my five year old daughter.
Out of every ten graceful women that I meet nine of them attribute their grace and feminity to Bharatnatyam . At the risk of sounding immodest,should be able to say the same for me . Though its been years since I learnt dance ,Bharatnatyam ,i guess the grace carries with you throughout . Bharatnatyam gives a lot of grace and even you can...

Last night was a girls night out , so the girls of the family(Mom, myself and my daughter Neiv) went out to dinner. At some point our talks do center around IL. She asked me how things are going with IL and then requested me to put in a post . About what I wondered. I saw her looking around and replying, "About Mobiles".
What about Mobiles ,I wondered. As if reading my thoughts Mummy said,"I hate Mobiles". Goodness!!! what brought about such hatred . She ennumerated,...

As the temperatures drop the consumption of ever tasty bhajjis or pakodas have increased in my household. There is nothing more divine than savouring plateful of assorted bhajjis like onion, patatoes, cauliflower etc, accompanied by numerous cups of hot tea or filter coffee . Ditto on rainy days too. The thought is so lip smacking that as i write i am tempted to go back and prepare some more of them. I do suffer from guilt trips later but get back to it the next chilly day.

Luv,...

Before i joined this community ,I would be very irate whenever I would be tangled with boredom and hubby dearest immersed in cricket, newspapers and all things dull and uninteresting, while I patiently waited to get those valuable pearls(read words ) out of his mouth.
But since joining here things couldnt have been greater. Infact I am so addicted to it that I try to squeeze in time ,if busy to get connected with our community.And its so evil of me to slyly watch my hubby waiting for...

A decade and a half back whenever i conversed with my bro in Vadodara , our topics were centered around either his girlfriends and his dating the most gorgeous lass or the innumerable proposals the self confessed casanova recieved ,or the way I partied all night and purchased the dashing Versace gogs and so on and so forth. And now yesterday while we were chatting our talks centered around how our bones were aching and how the cold is causing pain to the limbs and whether he was having his BP...

Hi,

This is surely a subject we all have to deal with sooner or later ,and by the way life style is changing it is more likely to be sooner than later.Menopause was something women dealt with at the age of 55+ about a decade ago, but now I am absolutely appalled to see that women as young as 29/30 are showing symptoms of menopause. Even a close friend of mine is already expereincing the first signs of menopause like hot flushes,etc. and she is just 32. She was absolutely shocked to...

Hi Friends,

We Woman are always on the constant quest to look good, presentable. Probably because we feel that we should always look beautiful in front of our husbands. Im sure that comes a lot in everyones mind, as to look constantly appealing to our husbands so that they dont wander. Most of us would agree. But would nt it be wonderful to not worry too much about it????. Wouldnt it be great if looks really didnt matter we could be all tousled and dishevelled , but definitely more...

I know my topic might send shockwaves, but I truly feel that when the relationship is dead, the only way to get some peace of mind is Divorce. I am appalled to see the number of couples giong thru hell in their relation because divorce still remains a taboo word.
I know a friend of mine suffered for about two years, merely beinjg a spectator to her philandering husband a concrete boozard, and spending her life taking sleeping pills and antidepressants, till finally one day she decided that...

Feelings is somethings over which we have no control. It is an emotion which just oozes out of our system just like breathing , Yet unlike breathing we try to control it. Should we love, should we care, should we be compassionate,?? we try to gauge our feelings ,evaluate and then accordingly react.
Unlike children,a great lesson taught to me by my daughter, Niev, who on the absence of grandparents, showers her love for grandparents with 26 old people from old age home . For her they are her...
