I just don't know how it all started but our bonding started soon after we got married.Ours was an completely arranged marriage and never did we meet once before marriage...but still it happened I am deeply in love for him.He too pampers me just like a small child and fulfills all my wimps and fancies.Even today after 21years of marriage the essence of love have never faded. Maybe I might sound too much like a feminist  as I can't understand how people forget their tradition and don't apply vermilion on their forehead and even deny to wear those two Bengals (i.e the white and the red) all these signify husbands long life as said in our vedas and believed by our elders which I never tried to evade it.I do maintain it still today as I believe all these 'SHRINGAR' signifies his long life. I have always felt an unknown strength working with me whenever my husband is with me. I know when people ask "Why do you always try to please him?"I have only one an

How is it possible that people still dwells in the age old beliefs that we can please God by sacrificing an animal......

He continuously keeps you under the impression that he is very simple and will never deceive you , but as soon as he sees that you are away from him he just gets allured into the heinous crime of indulging in that Juvenal drink which perspires your dreaming perception totally.

But still I feel that what is the necessity of such drinks???It not only sublimes your conscious mind but also starts dominating it sooner or later. I had this friend of mind who always had this habit of drinking every now and then but always had to hide the story from everyone including his friends . When asked by his friends he himself used to tell that he could never realize how he got into all this ......He always answer

My  Role Model.....       I am normally very slow at typing but I could not resist myself from sharing with you the woman who has motivated many lives but to me she is just a living God.She is articulate, intelligent and charming.She is a bundle of unbridled energy and compassion.She is a caregiver with super organizational skills.  Yes, these are the things which can never be erased whenever anyone asks me about my mom.. Not to mention the super mommy qualities of extreme love, sacrifice, innovative cooking skills, and good judgmental ability comes to her naturally. Born in the tea gardens of Assam....A tall fair  stem-thin  girl who lost her father at a very young age ... ,she had borne the burden of a large family of 9 siblings she being the eldest of them all . An extremely large family with many mouths to feed and with very less money in hand with all the brothers being so young to her that finally it rested on her young shoulders to take care of her nephews and nieces
