Thank you for sharing your inputs about the article which is a complex subject to deal with for many parents  in today’s world. Many of the parents are trying to fix children into one particular thing or the or the other thus enforcing their views on the child. This observation made me write this article. Have a great day.

I agree with you many of the bodies which we have are not upto the task. But this article is being written to address the problems of the travel agents. But your point is well taken. People with the wrong intent are kept in the job as you mentioned about temples being ignored. There are numerous temples which are having a remarkable history but have been ignored over the years. The surprising thing is when a temple generates revenue everyone runs to claim a share of the pie but few of the government help in the improvement of temples which are in dire need of development due to its religious relevance. The black sheep among the endowments departments and some contractors are also hand in glove in this mischief. The black sheep have to be weeded out in a systematic manner.

Yes they are interesting, amusing and fun to watch with their herd. Happy to know you found the article interesting.

Yes, it one of the many mysterious creatures which we are fortunate to have. Unfortunately they are misunderstood rather than being appreciated. They are one of the oldest creatures of creation and have been able to survive this long. They are highly adaptable. All of us are in awe when we see a shark. That is the aura they have.

Diplomacy is the best thing in many situations. But anger has to be used very sparingly and has to be applied the balm of love and compassion on a double dose. This will active in positive way. I remember the case of magnets which the principle says opposite poles attract but the poles of the same side repel. But in our human relationship case the negative part has to be only 10 percent and the positive part has to be 90 percent that will ensure relationships whichever they are will remain strong and improve over the years. Appreciate your reviews.

I could not agree more with you parents are equally responsible. I was on a journey in a train and from the moment the train started each and every passenger except me was either glued to his cellphone or a laptop till the time he reached his destination calls came not only from there families and friends but also from their offices regarding some work or the other even though it was night time. And these passengers cheerfully received their phones and were enthusiastic to talk to whosoever was on on the other side. Some others also kept speaking continuously even during night time when it is supposed to be sleep time and disturbed others sleep. A few others were seen looking at their phones and smiling and some other people were speaking and crying. I was observing all these scenes with amusement. It was a thorough entertainment for me after reading a few articles from my paper. That is how life has become for them. They are controlled by machines.

I agree with you something of that sort has to be done to give girls who have had a difficult childhood a sense of self respect and dignity. Independence and having salary at the end of the day will stir a new ray of hope and better days that is what my assessment. But this change is not fast and will take some more time to catch up pace as these concepts have to be established in the minds of all sections including the ones who would not want such a thing to happen even they will have to accept the inevitable change and change themselves for the better.

I agree with you 100 percent but those days were different. Even today you have some small number of students who study like how we were studying but the average and those who find difficulty with studies are in a majority. To tell even the subjects have been trimmed down and even the marking pattern has been simplified but still these children find it difficult. I am able to speak about this with a sense of authority as I teach different subjects and have worked at a school. For these children passing the 10th class exam is like passing the IAS. That is the situation. Many have got addicted to television, computers, online games and other stuff and their mind does not get out of it.

I feel the parents are the culprits. As they feel it is their birth right to give birth to a child and not tend to the childs needs in the formative years which are crucial for a proper foundation. They want the child to get education in a jiffy how one would get money out of an ATM. The do not want to do proper parenting and both will be working and will give less time for the child and pamper him with money, gifts and are easily blackmailed by children. Bad parenting is the result of this with the society also playing a part. That is my assessment when told they never listen and tell what they say is always right. If you pay money you can get services that is the attitude.

That is right many of medicines which we consume depending what they are for contain not only snake but venom’s and oils or tissues of many of the living organisms. But in the lab they ar putt in the right quantity and the medicine is prepared. This is a fact. It is also used only after extensive research and trials so whatever the doctor suggests to us are safe unless our body may not accept a particular medicine due to some reason. Then an alternative is given for the same and treatment is continued. They do no harm the snakes or kill them when they remove the venom. It is done as per ethical rules and guidelines laid down by the concerned medical bodies involved in the work.

Happy to hear your views on the subject and thank you for reading the topic that is true, even in India people like to go to the places mentioned by you for spiritual solace. While some prefer mountains too.

Wish you the best in your endeavor. If you do no have mango try to use lemons or tamarind water. Here they prepare lemon rice and tamarind rice too.

Agree with you Siva S S  100 percent, what ever has been stated is true and as written by you many of us seem to take our parents for granted. The sooner we change this attitude the better it is as the parents will get the most important gift of their life. Their children’s time and their attention which is very crucial emotionally in the later years of ones life or when they are chronically ill or if their is any need for which they are looking for support. Just to see their children around them itself will make them happy and give them immense joy. Whatever their age may be is immaterial. Appreciate your comments on this topic.

Cely I am really sorry for what happened to you. While I agree no one can ever replace ones own. There will be some mother figures in our lives who we will be admiring and relying on for the emotional support which is required for one to grow up as a child. I am sure you may be able to identify many such people who would have come and still are there in your life in different forms and roles. Appreciate and understand your point of view. Best wishes and regards.

True mothers are like that and that is the best gift one can get and be blessed. It is a difficult life for mothers and I admire their grit, determination and stand up strongly against all odds for the sake of her children. That is what is called the epitome of motherhood  in our country. I wish you too could enjoy that from your mother.

Could not agree with you more. Nowadays people are not having time even for themselves leave alone the people they love or the the people for whom they slog for a earning all their life. It has become as a assembly line where we are supposed to perform certain activities repeatedly over a period of time again and again and we get stuck in this clutter and coming out of it becomes a very difficult task for the individual howsoever they may want to try and get out of it. Proper time management and scheduling and understanding between the people concerned and not taking relationships for granted are all important aspects of this. All relationships are important in life and each play out its own role. And the relationship between the mother and her children is a very important one at that.
