My partner in New Zealand is a happy loner. He prefers to be alone with his pet cat now.He has a son and is separated from his dad.But what I noticed that there is always association of word blue in his emails, Skype, Facebook, plus, his clothes ,brief, Polo-shirt, t-shirt, pajamas, pants, jogging pants, all in blue. I wonder why he likes but. I never dare to ask him why , but all I know is , he is happy to be alone.In fact, he changed his mind from being marriageable to non-marriageable. That made me sick when he told me that he changed his mind to remain a non-marrying type.I think those who like to live alone pretend to be happy when actually not happy. Man is a social being and he needs someone to talk to. Having gadgets and other things never equal the happiness felt when there is human to be along with, to be happy with and to share some thoughts, problems and heartaches.

All I can say is, I can never live alone. I will be lonely of alone living in a house. I need someone to be with. It is not enough to just watch TV and do on line activities, so weird, but I cannot blame those whose preference is to live alone. They are loners and I believe they are cowards to face challenges of life just like my foreigner partner.

Living alone is an art This is the real meaning of life. Living alone is a challenge. One who overcomes it can take up any kind of challenge and achieve it with a great ease and comfort
Yes, I agree with you that there are many who are living alone and are happy. Living alone is not a sin. If we say that man is a social animal and he needs some company in life it does not mean that he should be in the company of somebody who will be hammering around him and picks up quarrel with him It is better not to have such company
In general, most of the people will have a company But, if by chance if one had to live alone he should equip himself to face the situation There are many things available nowadays. We can make a life quite meaningful living alone
One can do yoga, one can visit ground and watch the games, one can spend time watching T.V. Meditation is another way of spending time which gives good opportunity to realize the things in life Attending foreign languages class is another way of spending time nicely There we will have different types of people we can interact with. Spending time with like-minded people on Fb and other social media sites is also a good way of spending time lonely. There are many ways. One need not worry if one has to live alone

Oohh The joy of christmas, who doesn’t like the sound of carols. If anything carols are what get me into the Christmas mood when I hear a song in radio that imemediately stirs me up to start looking for my old cassettes that played Christmas carols because those songs from way back are the original thing so it brings out Christmas in a more natural way than what we hear nowadays. Its true that nowadays Christmas stats early some people even start it as early as the last week of November in preparation for the festive season. The only bad thing about this early celebration is true fact that when the actual day comes people are bored already so the day usually just comes and passed by nothing much is done.

What you have said here is universal. That change of scene is felt everywhere. But I keep to the old traditions and quite enjoy being that way.

Thanks for posting. Reshared to my foodie blog.

If you like coconut and jaggery this is a great snack. You must be having an interesting food blog. How is it faring?

I think there is some truth in your saying. Once the conifer branch is cut and after a day it becomes a dead wood But, it is coming as a tradition. Bringing the entire family under a tree is a great idea It is this idea that has to be viewed with appreciation. A sense of togetherness is involved in decorating the Christmas tree. No doubt the tree will be decorated with many other items also. But, one has to honor and appreciate the interest shown in decorating the tree
Even in the Hindu religion, there is a similar tradition. Here the people worship an AMLA tree during KARTIKA MASAM
They actually have to worship the Amla tree lighting a lamp under it. All relatives are invited and they dine as a group sitting under a tree
During Kartika Poornima, it will be followed very meticulously. They name it VANABHOJAN.
But, in cities, it is possible to perform such activity.
So, most of the people purchase a branch of Amla Tree and place it in the prayer hall. They light a lamp under it. They arrange all food items under it. Sit around it and dine along with all the invited guests. After the ritual the branch has little value and it will be thrown out.

Christmas is one of the most important religious ceremony on earth because it reminds all of us Jesus Christ’s arrival and departure from this fickle world. In modern age every religious ceremony has become the part of old tradition and lost its religious spirit due to our materialistic thoughts.

We must ponder over the importance of Christmas Tree reveals the mysterious death of Jesus Christmas. I think all religious festivals must be made with full pomp and show to make alive the dead spirit of religion all over the world.

Sorry to hear about your father but I am sure he will be happy if you continued the tradition. And as for relatives that drift is felt the world over.

It is time to thank God through our Lord Jesus Christ who had accepted to died for our sin and rose again on the third day, so raising the Christmas tree because we are celebrate the the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ is worthy to be doing.
Any living soul who know the important of Christ’s coming to this world will raise Christmas tree for Him

A thought has just crossed my mind why do people put up Christmas trees and decorate them? I know I am one of those people because it was a family tradition during Christmas to cut a tree and get it into the house then decorate it with all sorts of ornaments. Come to think of it we never really use to think about thedudus or aunts for those who may not understand dudus. I remember my brothers going around theestate looking out for a nice tree that they would cut down and bring to the house regardless of whether they had ants or not. Anyway at least I can say that we never had any issues with the ants they were clean trees. Once the tree was in the housewe would go out of our way to decorate it with lights and cotton wool to bring out the feeling of snow, the little balls and the star on the top of the tree. Back in the days having a Christmas tree was a big deal so if you didn’t have that would make you feel like Christmas will not be nice. So it was like a mandatory thing back in the days. Nowadays this things are not so much in people’s minds.

Christmas is one of the major religious gala of the followers of Jesus Christ but people clever priests has turned it into mere a tradition and thus Muslim Eid, Hindus’ religious festival and Christian’s Christmas all have lost it religious spirit in broader sense. Hollow hearts are making religious festival all over the world that is why moral sins are prevailing on earth all over the world.

It would be a great idea to spare some time and to have the company of these little souls. These souls just need our attention.

Spending some time with them will surely mitigate their sufferings and sorrows.

This is really touching. I love hearing about how others care. And it’s good to show this special kids that there just as special as anyone else. Yeah they may seem different but at the same time they still have a heart like we do. And it truly touches my heart to see others caring for the special needs.they should receive the same attention and respect as we do. If anything we should show kids like this just a lil more attention. Care for them in everyway we can. Don’t treat them different because their different. They still deserve a chance in life. It’s okay to hug them show them love they need it more than we do…Most important their still humans and we as people should never forget that.

i love christmas, i always get to either travel or do a safari or stay home with family, either way this christmas will be a special one in Kenya as it’s the eve of an election year and a lot of times with elections comes with tension, stress, so much happening. so this year, i am definitely celebrating christmas with style and my favourite people.

It is indeed a season for everyone to meet and have parties galore. I just had one for the mentally challenged yesterday. It went off very well.

I normally have parties for poor kids. I had one yesterday and this time for the mentally challenged.

Christmas for me is family time. I enjoy everyone participating in cooking, laughing and sharing stories. It magnifies the love.

This seems to be a special art and needs loads of creativity. It does look different and unique when seen. Art is making something out things which are thought of as waste or which people think it is no use of. As they have not come across such a thing in their lives. Such concepts however are not easily accepted by the conventional people. As people are averse to something new. But if they keep seeing such a thing again and again they will get used to it. As it costs nothing to make this art. It is a interesting article which has introduced a new concept which people can read understand and appreciate. Maybe they can also experiment with the same. This can be used for a change and adds variety to the art of decorating ones house. Keep up the good work. Look forward to more such articles.

I do not have to go far or buy anything for my arrangements. I have them all in my garden

What you have told about seniors is very true. I think one of the reason they are not comfortable is that they find too many commands, websites, software, programs and too many service providers providing 101 different options to confuse the already confused individual. While there is a category of people like you who are willing to learn and be with the times by accepting the changes taking place, there will be more than 80 percent of the population in our country who have got used to a system in which they have spent all their life and they suddenly feel left out and see the system is outpacing them by leaps and bounds. Let us take the case of software version or a mobile phone the companies want to make money more than innovations and they want to thrust them on the market to run their respective shops and earn revenue in the process. As people grow and get aged they find it difficult to accept change and would like status quo. Now with economic reforms being thrust into peoples throats in India we are going to see more of these problems coming to the fore. This can be tackled as it is a blessing in disguise. The government has to invest by providing jobs to people in IT sector to teach and enable the rest of India to move forward. If they do this they can provide employment to youth and elders will be digitally educated. Orientation courses have to be conducted on a mass scale. I have written three to four articles about demonetisation and its impacct in the forum in Knowledge is Power Use It Wisely. A good article written by you touching on an important aspect of common mans life especially senior citizens.

Felt good about reading the Eurostar. But we cannot see anything as we progress through the journey as it happens to be below the ocean bed. Now for so many years people have been travelling but till date nothing problematic has happened which speaks of the premium put on safety of the passengers. It is a modern technological wonder and if I am not wrong the only one in the world at that. No other project of that sort and magnitude has taken place. Travel to Europe if on individual travel is a different one compared to the groups. Here in the case of individual travel we can buy train tickets which are flexible and costs will be saved if travel is to an interior tourist spot in Europe. Eurail has different trains which offer excellent value for money and a good ambient scenic atmosphere for tourist travel.

You have touched upon a very important subject. Yes computers have taken over jobs of secretaries and many others like accountant’s, record keepers, typists, telephone operators and others. This is one of the negative fallout’s of new technology arriving. Computers, tablets, cellphones with I phones have become like calculators today. They have taken away many of the jobs like the one mentioned above. Even the bank ATM is one such product. So is email. Today we find people sending money and gifts or payments and mails through electronic systems due to its many advantages. Now with new economic reforms in India this problem is only going to aggravate. Children in schools have computers but the knowledge is limited to a large extent and they do not want to pursue it till the tenth class as their are no marks for that subject and they do not count in the final tally. They end up like a blank page when they pass tenth class. Then go for computer courses paying huge fees in a volatile market. Many of their years thus get wasted. Educationists have to seriously look into this anomaly and do course correction. To get a good crop of very well computer literate youngsters.
