Happy Birthday Mom

The person who has stood by me through all my trails and tribulations,successes and failures,mistakes and misdeeds and has played an important role in making me the person I am - I can never thank you enough for all that you have done for me.Sitting here, about 425 kms away from you and writing this blog dedicated to you is a small gesture to salute you.......Love u Mama.

Take care and enjoy life.....you need not worry any more.

Social norms........is the culture responsible?

A few days back , a friend of mine mentioned that she was searching for a place for about a month as her fiancee was coming over from abroad and they wanted to spend some time together.

The idea was fine but had just one problem......to find a place to stay and most importantly to shut people up.I personally feel that in our culture and our society doesn't allow this kind of freedom and there is a lot of untold interference.There is something terribly wrong with peoples mindsets when it comes to accepting a relationship between two adults who are in love.Not everyone is open to this idea and at times it creates a lot of trouble in their respective families.I have had a lot of friends who didn't and couldn't talk about their love life with their families for some kind of unknown fear.

I guess a lot of it has to do with the way we Indians see things.Now let me clarify that I mean no offense to any one or any section in particular , but sadly ost let go of their habit of pocking nose into everyone's affairs and make our society a more already diverse and dynamic society a more tolerant one.
