MARRIAGE AT YOUR OWN RISK





Inter-Religious Marriages:
                                                         An inter-faith couple typically follows a pair of religions that teach very different beliefs and practices about deity, humanity and the rest of the universe. Conflicts are not easily resolved. Many people believe that their religious beliefs were revealed by one or more Gods and/or Goddesses, and are thus absolutely true. Further, they believe that other religions were invented by humans and are thus lacking in validity. There is often no room to compromise without one spouse giving up some of their belief.
                                              The new generation of people do not realize the problems associated with inter-religious marriage. Love marriages without social or family support either do not last long or the girl suffers in silence. When a girl or a boy marries from another religion, thinks only of his relationship with the girl he loves, he goes blind and selfish. The couple never realize the problems their parents and their siblings are going to face from the society and relatives, because of their inter religious marrage.There are instances where the sisters or brother remained unmarried or were forced to marry to a less deserving partner, it’s like a mixed breed dog which has a less market value.
                                          Imagine a Hindu girl who has been brought up with vegetarian diet and worshipping of Hindu Gods and Goddesses from childhood, marries a Muslim or Christian boy? Their culture and her culture will be totally different. She has to adjust and start eating beef or other forbidden foods which she had never taken in her life. Soon she will realize her mistake but by that time she has become a second hand car. The dreams would soon vanish. First she has to be converted to a Muslim then marry. In India certain Hindu male celebrities take advantage of Muslim law and get converted to Muslim and marry another actress or model.
                                  The parents are totally responsible for the rise in inter-caste and inter religious marriages. One should remember that for thousands of years certain set of rules and guidelines have been followed by our ancestors. There must be some logic behind it; we just can’t say its bull sit? Human beings are basically opportunistic, they do what suits them most or in other words where money is there is love and everything. In most cases of inter religious marriages are due to money or celebrity factors. If any day we would read the news that Ex-president’s daughter married an American white, then we can comment that yes ‘Americans are really very broad minded’. Present generation of parents think their child is still a baby, even though he or she has crossed 30 years. Unfortunately our next generation follow the western culture as ultimate and forget own parents and religion. Because the most of the girls have started earning they have developed a dam care attitude towards their parents and society and have multiple boyfriends or sex partners and get ditched.
                                         I just wanted to express my view on these ‘dream world’ marriages. At present the human, character, social, cultural and moral values are in cross roads. Best is leave the children to their own destiny to suffer or get divorced or commit suicide or remain unmarried throughout life, choice is theirs.

DEMONETIZATION


If ICC allows bats of any size bowlers will cry batsman will rejoice.Similarly demonetization has created debates in the country and FB members: Read on>>>The political part members are donating the old notes for vote bank/

Face Book Debates:
                                                                       There are interesting debate going on in media as well as amongst face book friends on demonetization.When the debate becomes personal ego centric or like an opposition political party member, things turn ugly, becomes bad. There are hundreds of docile face book members, who watch from the fence or through a window, they remain goody goody because they think themselves to be intellectual, know all type. They do not participate or comment. Others are least concerned as if they are toddlers, from another planet, they only project themselves through selfie.We excuse those who are physically handicapped or too busy for these useless participation. Criticism will always be there in LBW decisions, not on bowled. Recently a decision on fraud ‘freedom fighter’ card got a nod from SC as valid, no one criticized it. If Modijee would have said that from midnight all the notes in circulation-original or counterfeit ones are valid.” That would have been a ‘master stroke’ decision for many! Similarly criticisms are bound to come on any topic from a marriage invitation card to the items served at the reception party. Just ask Hindi film lovers for comments on a recently released hyped Hindi film. About 20% people will boldly say that the film was ‘faltu’, others will agree with their wife or girl friends if they say they liked it. Those in job will agree with their boss. Few others will say it’s a new type of film because their favorite hero or heroine was the main character. It’s not a question of BJP or Congress or SP or BJD supporter its question about black money. People who started asking the PM—“where is your election promise?”When he starts taking decisions then people compare it with emergency of Indira Gandhi. That decision was to neutralize the High court decision on her election. “Because the court unseated her on comparatively frivolous charges, while she was acquitted on more serious charges, The Times described it as "firing the Prime Minister for a traffic ticket". However, strikes in trade, student and government unions swept across the country. Led by JP, Narain, Satyendra Narayan Sinha and Morarji Desai, protestors flooded the streets of Delhi close to the Parliament building and the Prime Minister's residence. The persistent efforts of Narain were praised worldwide as it took over four years for Justice Sinha to pass judgement against the prime minister”.
Demonetization is bad for the people who used to live on black money. They cite the example of common man. Are they common man or smugglers? Majority of us think about self not for the society and country. It’s like a girl who only thinks of herself while choosing a boy from other caste or religion?  What would happen to her younger sister’s marriage? Who will marry her?
Most of the critics are two headed snakes. If it was bad how 91% of people across the country said it was a good decision. Let’s stop fighting amongst us on this demonetization topic and move on with time. “Most of us are not able to govern our family properly, what to speak of the country.” Other countries are utilizing our experts at a less cost and selling their products to India at a huge profit. Parents are crying, for their children because they are worried who will give “mukhagni”? Are these decisions by our children to migrate to other country—good or very good?

TWO GAINTS


Two giants in power.American press never predicted nor gave any chance for Donald Trump but their face has been blackened with Trump's thumping victory.PM,Modi abolished the high currency notes which has sent a shock wave in the country.The PM is being poured for praise for his master stroke.

CONGRATULATIONS


Donald Trump became the 45th President of USA.My congratulations to him and those Americans who voted him to power.No one gave him a chance at the beginning of the contest,not even my relatives and friends staying in USA.When i told them that i do not like Ms-Clinton to become the president not that she is a lady but because it would be like Rabadi Devi running Bihar .Any how on the same day there were two very good news, one was 500 rupees and 1000 rupees notes becoming invalid and second one was Trump's victory.My relatives in NJ did not vote for the republican because of obvious reasons.
