LEGALIZATION OF LIVE IN RELATIONSHIPS

social trends
AM CONFUSED !   My friends have been asking me,for my views on legalization of live-in relationships and while I opined on the relationship aspect,I reserved my comments on the move to legalize them as I was not very clear.   Are we confusing Live-in relationship,with extra marital affairs,mistresses ,the other woman and kepts as they call them !

THE MISUNDERSTOOD MALE

The general image,on man has always that of a emotionless,ruthless,unromantic,insensitive and irresponsible human being,who loves to be left to himself,or with his male friends,to enjoy his sports and TV and hates going out,partying  and shopping,who is having a ball of a time,in the family,at the cost of the women,and all that this sex-maniac expects from a woman is sex and more sex!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   Am extremely grateful to the Outlook( Oct 26,2008) for doing a cover story of the GENDER MYTHS,and in at least trying to partially break the harsh image of the male gender,in several aspects of life.   Men are very sensitive,caring and emotional,though the ways of expressing may be different and less obvious than…

TERRORISM
 IMPORTED IS VALUABLE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   We Indians have always been fascinated by imported stuff,even if it is made in India,and then sold from the footpaths of Singapore or the Duty free shops of Dubai with  different labels.But it has been proved beyond doubt now,that it is not only firangi products that are valued high,,but even  a foreigners death is valued more than the lives of common  Indians!   Heartiest congratulations to India,USA,Pakistan and to all the peace loving humans on this earth at the arrest of Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi ,the mastermind behind the Mumbai carnage,by Pakistani raids,yesterday(TOI,Dec 09,2008).This is probably  the first major positive step,towards our battle against this global terrorism.But what saddens me,is the fact,that hundreds and thousands of people including innumerable innocent women and children,have died over the…
