"May you live to a ripe old age"

"May you live to a ripe old age" How do you take this phrase..? As a blessing or as a curse.

Consider this, the elderly population in India is continuously increasing and the problems they are facing is also increasing simultaneously. 60% of elderly couples in India are forced by their children to leave their homes. So the number of peoples in old age homes are constantly increasing and also most of the parents are now deciding to live in old age homes rather than living with their children.

In India, unlike USA, parents do not leave their children on their own after they turn 18 but children find it hard to accept the fact that there are times when parents want to feel the love that they once shared with them.  

There are times when parents just want to relax and want their children to reciprocate their care. Every parents wants to see their child grow and be successful but no parent wants their child to treat them like an unnecessary load on their responsibilities.

Old age cannot be avoided. It is a phase of life, which will arrive and stay till death takes its toll.

Our culture recognizes the status of the parents as that of God. A moral duty is put on the children to take care of their parents. But nowadays what we are observing in our society is that the children are not willing to take care of their parents, they do not want to spend money on them, they are treating their parents as aliens, they do not want to share an emotional bond with parents. These children are forgetting that the foundation of their life is built up by the parents. They are forgetting their moral and ethical duties towards their parents. This is because of fast life, industrialization, money oriented minds, inflation. Children have no time to look after their parents because of their busy schedule and as a consequence of this situation the elders are getting neglected. 

The problems in old age is in two forms: emotional and physical. Many studies have proved that the two are actually interconnected. No precautionary measures can avoid these problems; senior citizens just have to face them bravely.

But the only thing they need is love from their children and family. Those who can afford, try to reduce their guilt by sending their old parents to the home for the aged. But seldom do they realize that although their parents or grandparents may get physical care in these institutions, their emotional needs of affection and love by their own near and dear ones remain unfulfilled. What the youngsters of today fail to realize is that they will get old too some day and may have to meet a similar fate, because history is bound to repeat itself and a person reaps what he sows. 

Why do we tend to forget that the reason we are in this world is our parents, the reason we studied is our parents, the reason we were alive all this while is our parents, the reason we survived all the diseases is our mother’s care. The hands who made us walk is our parents’. When we were kids we never thought of it but we knew that no matter what, our parents will be by our side. But when our time came to show our respect, to reciprocate the love, to show our gratitude, we back out.

It's time to realize that our parents need us till the end. So don't soak them, love them don't treat them as a burden. They are waiting for the Soak No More state...

Even when they are counting their last breath, they are still thinking of us!

Accessories to Sexual attraction

Accessory is one of the things which we carry from earlier years to still now. Accessory of an object is to make the object more efficient, useful and to improve its features and to make it look stylish.

When it comes to Human beings Accessories are major things to show off. What is the reason for you to wear an Accessory? Obviously, you like it, and to attract some folks, to look unique, and the last and main reason is to show your attitude to others through that. And it is implicit way to show your mood.

Accessories of Boys

Accessories of Girls

But the real fact is, Accessories are the things that shows the character which the person intended to become and hides the real character of that person. For example if you saw a person who look like a rude guy because of his Accessories and Dressings but his real character will be very polite. So don’t judge the character of somebody only with the outlook.

Why we are hiding our real character behind these Accessories? Because we are trying to attract somebody/everybody by showing “I’m unique and I differ from others”.

The reason to attract somebody is to make them know your presence and make them to look at you. Nowadays most of the boys are trying to attract girls and most of the girls are trying to attract boys through the accessories. So the accessory is a common thing for both.

But in earlier years, Accessories are designed for girls, to attract the guys. Because Accessories are used to decorate girls and make them look very pretty.

Why the accessories are meant to be a decorative element for women?

Aren't they pretty without these accessories?

Because they are treated like objects, the term decorate refers to some objects that are intended to look pretty and attractive.

Women are been treated like decorative objects in male dominated society. And they thought girls are born to serve men. Then the Accessories are been created to decorate women, to get the attention of men.

Nowadays we are been influenced to do that, it is not our mistake it came from our ancestors. But there is a difference now the Accessories are available for both girls and guys to attract opposite sex. what’s the difference says is, after some struggles to get freedom for women as like as freedom of our country there are some changes in our society.

Even though it is a male dominating society, some freedom is there for girls. Girls are doing many things as like as guys and in some areas they are doing even better than guys. Now guys are trying to attract girls as like as girls did in earlier years. So we both are trying to attract opposite sex through our outlooks and accessories and in many ways.

Now men and women have same equality in our society. But there are many partiality and sexual harassment's are happening everyday to every girl in our country. Girls know how to handle those things. Hopefully there will be an end for that very soon, with the support of good guys in our country.

So accessories are mainly designed to attract opposite sex. This is the way how I see the accessories. How do you see it? convey it through comments.

College Days 2

The new friends Harsha, Harni and Peter attended their first day class. As the days roll on, Harsha and Harni become very close because they spend more time together in college and college bus and even in their home they were located near. So they become close friends, though Peter is in their gang.

Peter has his own car he use it to come to college, he is very rich. So he spent less time with Harsha and Harni. Because of his carelessness Peter stayed as a below average student. Harsha is an average studying student and obviously Harni is a good scoring student. She help them both when it comes to studies.

Both Harsha’s and Harni’s family situation is same, middle class family which needs their support physically and financially. So they both have to finish their degree with good grade and should get placed in a good company. Peter is already a part time Business man so there is no need for him to get good grade, he is studying just to get a degree certificate. His family background is high class and his father is one of the great Business magnets in that city.

Their college life is going on very normal Harni is there to help them in studies and Peter is there to do anything for his friends they three are good friends to their class mates.

After some weeks….

That was another normal day. Harsha and Harni step down from their college bus and entered into the college. Harni holds a book in her hand and she gave the assignment papers of them to Harsha. They both are sincerely reading the book for their class test and walking towards their class room.

Someone stopped them, “Excuse me, can you show me the first year classroom?”

Harsha and Harni stopped reading and looked up to see who is that, Harsha was stunned. The person is a pretty modern girl looks very gorgeous. He just looked at her face and stood like a statue. He can’t hear the noise around him. Harni and that girl are discussing about something, after few minutes she left that place.

Now Harni started to alert Harsha, she taped on his shoulder and called “Hey Harsha…, hey fool, are you here, hello…” finally she taped on his back head strongly. Now he realized what is happening.

Harni asked “what happened dude? Are you Ok..!!”

Harsha replied “ya harni I’m Ok” and asked “where is that girl? Is she new to our college?”

“why are you asking?” Harni asked him.

“she looks new, I didn’t saw her before, that’s why” he replied.

Harni said “I know everything about you, you was mentally out of the world for few minutes”. She saw his hands those are empty and she shouted “Oh god where are the assignment papers?” and she found the assignment papers floating in the air, then they both caught all the papers by running behind it.

“sorry Harni, I was completely impressed by her, that’s why I missed the assignment papers, I just wana know all about her. Who is she? what is her name?  where is she?” Harsha asked.

Harni started to tell “Ok idiot friend, she is a new student to our class, her native is the nearest city, now she went to meet our Director of College”

As directed in the notice board Harsha walked towards the function hall. And he entered into it, now he has to find the reception and register his name. Suddenly someone taped on his shoulder and said “Hai brother!” Harsha turned his head and looked behind. There was a stylish guy who wore a T-shirt, jean and Goggles standing behind Harsha. And the stylish guy continues “I’m Peter, are you looking for the registration table? come with me I’ll show, just now only I have finished mine ” and he shows the registration table for Harsha, and guided him to fill it. Harsha thanked him.

Peter says “come on man don’t say thanks to me here after. All right  tell me about yourself what’s your name where are you from bla bla  bla…”

Harsha begins to say “I’m Harsha….” And they both walked towards the function hall. After some time the inauguration function started. And the Director of the college begin to give welcome speech, then Peter started to sleep and told Harsha to wake him after they finished their speeches. Because, Peter hates this kind of speeches.

Importance of Hair and Hair care

As compared to Girls, Guys are little bit lazy to do everything, including me. It continues when it comes to Hair Problems.

Being a Guy it took long time for me to ‘realize the importance of Hair and Hair care’ after suffered by many Hair Problems.

I thought ‘hair care is not that much important for guys’. But my hair taught me a good lesson about it.

As like as everyone, I have experienced my first hair problem in teenage. It is not because of hormone changes, it is because of my carelessness.

When I was a kid, my hair looked silky soft, smooth and thick. I received many complements from my friends and relatives about my hair. So I feel very blessed.

As I turned to teenager. I used some materials to style my hair. I used hairspray, hair color, and hair gels etc.. I used these accessories to look stylish and modern. Even though I know these items are chemical and alcoholic contents I started to use it. Because I have studied somewhere that hair grows from dead cells. So when we cut the hair it doesn’t pain. So I thought using these accessories won’t affect. And these materials gave different stylish looks to my hair. At that time I don’t know there is lots of stress behind that.

After sometimes I have had my first experience of hair problem, it started with hair fall. When I comb my hair every day I saw my hair fall increases. And simultaneously it loses its silky soft texture and turned to dry hair. Day by day it increased and my hair loosed its original texture.

I was worried about it and I realized how much hair is important to a guy, and if it goes like this I’ll be bald quickly.

Now it is the time to change. I started to know the hair care tips from many girls and family members and friends.

Finally I filtered some easy steps to follow, they are

·         Oil your hair regularly it will bring back your silky softness,

·         Wash your hair two/three times in a week with good shampoo and good conditioner.

·         Try to avoid using chemical products like hair spray, hair color and hair gel etc… because stylish hair won’t last but healthy hair does.

·         Last but not least, maintain good lifecycle eat, sleep and do your work, in correct timings regularly.

Even much more things are there to put an end to your hair problems. But these things are enough for guys to maintain healthy hair.

And finally these simple steps worked well and my hair started to regain its silky softness, thickness and all its textures back.

After sometimes it seems difficult to do oil regularly in this busy life. And as like many folks I don’t like oils.

So I prefer “DoveNourishing Oil Care”. It is much better than using oils.

Because of its “Fiber actives and Revolutionary Vita Oils” smoothness, shine and softness will be restored.

As “Dove Nourishing Oil Care” is one of the “Dove Damage Therapy” it can give good treatment by deeply nourishing and replenishing essential nutrients. And it contains natural Coconut, Almond and Sunflower oils which can replenish essential vitamins.

When I used Dove for the first time. I used it as directed on the backside. It gives the softness to my hair in first wash.

Then I started to use it three times a week. It adds the softness, silkiness, smoothness and thickness to my hair. And that was the end of my hair problems!

Then I changed the hair care steps as shown below,

·         Wash your hair two/three times in a week with good shampoo (Dove Nourishing Oil Care) and good conditioner (Dove Nourishing Oil Care).

·         Try to avoid using chemical products like hair spray, hair color and hair gel etc… because stylish hair won’t last but healthy hair does.

·         Last but not least, maintain good lifecycle eat, sleep and do your work, in correct timings regularly.

These steps are much easier than above mentioned steps.

Cinderella's super tresses and Speaking Dove's

As like as Rapunzel, there was a beautiful girl with long tresses. But the difference is, she has long black tresses. Every girls who saw her tresses will surely get jealous on her, her name is Cinderella. 

Cinderella is a joyful pretty girl, she was living in a village. She is the only girl who has the longest beautiful tresses in that village. 

Image from http://pharoahess.deviantart.com

One day a strange man came to the village, everyone in the village looked at him. He was so nervous, and very hungry. Some folks in village asked about him. As he began to say everyone rounded up to hear. 

He said "I'm a Doctor, i was travelling through the forest near this village with my friends for a vacation, now i lost my friends and my things are with them, i don't have anything except this cloths and my Mouth-organ. I'm very hungry now can you please give some thing to have..!"

Before he ends his sentence, Cinderella brought him some food items. The Doctor don't even saw her face, he just grabbed that food items and started to eat. After he had all of that, he thanked Cinderella and he saw her beautiful eyes which shows plenty of pleasure.

At that first sight he fell in love with her. Obviously, any guy who saw her pretty face and beautiful tresses will fell in love. But he doesn't saw her beautiful long black tresses yet.

Then Cinderella left that place. And the village people allowed him to stay there until he finds his friends. 

'Sun sets down'

On the night he looks around the village for Cinderella. He founds her place, but it is closed and there was a bright light glows inside her house. 

He knocked the door by asking "is anybody there?" but there is no reply. 

He didn't stop, he knocked it again and again. 

Then there was a sweet voice came from inside asking "who is that? and what you need?" 

He replies "i'm the doctor whom you helped morning, i just want to talk to you. can you open the door"

"no not now, i'll see you tomorrow under the big tree near the Lake" she said.

"just few words, please open the door" he said. "wait under the tree morning i'll surely come" she replied.

He can't leave that place before see her pretty face. He looks around that small house and found a little gap. A bright light ray came from that gap. He looks into that gap and he was shocked about what he saw.

On the next morning Cinderella was waiting under the big tree for him. Surprisingly she heard some music. She followed that and saw the Doctor playing the Mouth-organ. Suddenly she hide under a big rock.

After the doctor came there, she came out casually and walked towards him.

She asked "are you waiting for long time?"

"no, i came just now" he replies.

"Oh! OK tell me what's matter?" she asked.

He proposed his love to her by giving a beautiful wet Read Rose. She avoid his proposal and told "i'm not the right girl for you, i can't accept it sorry".

"Why Cinderella don't you like me?" he asked by holding her shoulder.

She can't control her emotion "i love you but i cant marry you, i'm not a normal girl" she cried.

He holds her hand, then hugged and said "i know about that".

She was shocked. He said all the things happened yesterday night.

And he continuous "When i saw you through the gap, i saw your black tresses are grown very longer and turned into grey color and it glows like a bright light. It was a shock to me, at that time a hand touched my shoulder, it increases my shocking. I turned to see who is that, i saw a old lady. suddenly she holds my hand and said that she is your mother and explained about your super tresses. She told that your tresses will look normal in sunlight and turns like this after the Sun sets and it will do everything you say. Finally she asked me about our love and i promised to her, i'll marry you. Then only i understood that it is a super power of you."

Image from  ziz-ther.deviantart.com

"You all are saying it is a super power, but for me it is a great problem. I cant live my life as a normal girl. I can't do somethings which everyone does. I want to feel free and live without any special powers. I want to mingle with people and share my soul with you. By having this power i can't do these things ever. I hate this... I completely hate this...!!!" she finished with tears.

"Oh my dear, don't cry. If it is your wish i'll find a solution for it" doctor says. "But how?" she asks. "Don't worry I know how to handle this come with me" then he bring her to her mother.

They asked about this to Cinderella's mother. And she asked him to don't even think about it. 
"Why?" doctor asked. "There is a way but it is too difficult to handle, and it is very dangerous if someone go behind it, then they will be lost" says Cinderella's mother.

"Tell me the way, and i will do it for my Love" said doctor.

"You have to reach the top of the hill near the forest, and you have to face 5 traps after that you have to find the 'couple of Speaking Doves' and bring them here. This is the way" mother says.   

 "No you don't do that, if it is my fate i'll accept it" Cinderella stops him. 

The Doctor kissed her and gave a rose and silently left that place with a smile.

Image from http://pharoahess.deviantart.com

Then the doctor start to travel towards the top of the Hill. And he faces the Traps of Five natural elements. It was too difficult for him to face those. But he defeated the traps.

Now he have to find the "couple of Speaking Doves". But it is not easy to find them, he searched everywhere on the top of the hill. He was so tired, he sat under a big tree and started to play his mouth-organ. While playing it, he has been distracted by a noise which came from the top of the tree. Suddenly he looks up and there was the couple of Speaking Doves arguing themselves. 

He explains the problem of Cinderella's super tresses to the Doves and they agree to go with him. But they put an agreement, "If wee have to come with you, you have to answer our questions". And the doctor agreed for that.

Doves started to question, "Which is the favorite color of Cinderella?".

He answered "White".

Doves asked "What would Cinderella do when she saw somebody is in trouble?"

He answered "Without no question she will Help them."

Doves asked "If we help Cinderella, what will you do for us?".

He answered "Anything you want me to".

Doves said "Sacrifice your soul for Cinderella."

He remains silently for a minute.    

Doves asked "Won't you do that, for her? why are you silent?"

He said "I have to share my soul with Cinderella. If i sacrifice it then who will do that?"

Now the Doves remains Silent, and they said "You are the perfect match for Cinderella, and you deserve that. Take us to Cinderella"

The Doctor reaches the Village with the Doves, and it seem to be Sunset. When he reaches Cinderella her Beautiful tresses turned into Grey glowing long tresses.

He gave her a kiss and hold that Grey glowing long tresses and said "with or without this you're my Soul-mate."

Now the Dove's did the magic.

In their wedding ceremony, both of them released the Speaking Doves. And they ended with wedding kiss.  

Now Cinderella feels free and she is very happy without her super tresses. She enjoys her life which she wants to. She loves her Long Black Tresses and her soul-mate who made, that for her.

What are the Hair problems for Guys?  Bald, Grey Hair. These are the main things which will come to our mind.

This is the story of my Hair Problems....

When i was in 15 i had my first Hair problem Hair fall.
My mom told me "use oil daily, your hair is too rough and thin. if this Hair fall continues, you will become Bald soon, like your Grandpa..."
From that i have started to used oil regularly, even i don't like oils. And this problem somewhat Ends.

And then, when i was nearly in 19, one day i saw a Grey Hair on my head. This time i asked my friends, they told me to cut off that hair, because it is only one. So it is easy to do so, and i did it.

After some weeks i found many Grey Hairs, Now i decided to ask my mom.

She brought me some natural oils and natural hair powders. Those are not working.

Finally we consulted a Doctor, She gave me some Tablets and Oils. And she asked me to take this treatments at least for one year.

But i can't do that, because i have to start my Higher Studies in another State.
Then i used to apply Hair Colors.

Till now i'm using Hair colors. Now i'm 21, there was a problem again, the Hair color is not lasting. So i colored my hair twice a month.

Some days before, i saw the Dove Add in TV.
By that, i came to know about the Dove color Repair.
And i used it, now my Hair Color is lasting and that was the end of my hair problems!

Luxury Auto Rickshaw in Delhi

It might not be another palace on wheels, but a ride in Baldev Raj's three-wheeler will definitely be different from your usual auto rickshaw experience.

For, with TV, telephone, newspaper, fan and cold water facilities, DL-IR H3013 is perhaps the only luxury auto rickshaw in the city. 

What more, while Baldev does not charge extra for any of the facilities. one local call is free for all passengers from his mobile phones. he is also very particular about going by the meter.

While TV and telephone may be sheer luxuries, Baldev is also aware of his social responsibilities. he charges 10 per cent less from senior citizens and provides free service to the injured.

Apart from the facilities, a lot of detailing has gone into doing up the vehicle's interior: Curtains, little soft pillows, artificial flowers and even media reports on the luxury vehicle are on display.

According to Baldev, ever since he started plying the deluxe vehicle around two-and-a-half years ago (before that he drove 'ordinary' autos), all he has got is appreciation.

"People are very supportive. Some days back, somebody called me up from the US saying her son had traveled in my auto when in Delhi. It felt so wonderful.

There are instances when children fiddle with the accessories in the vehicle, but they are rare," says Baldev. 

Baldev has inspired many auto drivers in his locality.
