Friends!

Friends are a big part of any one's life! I have come across and seen people who love their friends more than their relatives....relatives criticize you, scrutinize your actions, friends does that too but we could take it lightly....why? the connection, bond we create with friends, may be we don't or not try to do it with relatives for various reasons....we can't change or choose our relatives but we get to choose our friends...

Mahabharatha shows Duryodhana and Karna friendship as well as Krishna and Arjuna friendship..., one friendship though it was strong but made with a wrong person destroyed that person, though his nature is good, and he gives away everything without thinking twice....such a beautiful soul, Yes I am talking about Poor Karna, Arjuna though he has his own flaws, his guru showed favoritism, he chose Krishna as his friend, it made him a hero...a good friend taught him good things and showed right path....how many will get that lucky....I am not analyzing, criticizing this story, but one thing is clear choose your friends carefully kiddos....

how do we know who is good or who is bad? when no body is perfect, everyone has their own flaws.....one should be strong enough to say no to situations which can create problems to them? especially if we take any story Mahabharatha/ Ramayana/ Silapathikaram - Pennasai (lust for women) destroys people. Sameway wish to attain power to rule others also destroyed ppl.....

With joint families are rare, nuclear family is on the rise, both parents are working and schools are under pressure to complete their syllabus who has the time to imbibe strong nature in kids....are we creating fragile kids who with one failure break down?

A girl who got school first, had a dream to become a doctor, couldn't score well in NEET exam commited suicide? whose fault is this? she could've wasted a year, prepared well the following year or may be she was meant to do something else, could've had plan B if not doctor could've tried something else... but instead she commited suicide, politicians were blaming govt for having NEET exam and so on....it is just one example, there are lots of students from different backgrounds we get to hear lots of these things almost every year....

I am thankful to my parents and brothers with my negatives and positives they accepted me....still love me though I trouble them every now and then, even after I am in a position to take care of a family myself. I do trouble them even now.........strange but true.

Brother and sister relationship is like tom - jerry, they tease, fight and irritate each other but can't live without each other! Happy Raksha bandhan day to all my brothers and sisters out there! spl one to my near and dear brothers!

Even if you have one friend who could guide you, love you accept you the way you are, you are the king or queen of the world! Happy friendship day to all the human beings..I wish and pray everyone in this world to get a good friend who can treat/love them the way they deserved to be treated and loved! Have a great day!

From friends came to family...good maintaining my randomness still ;) -> There are some people in life that make you laugh a little louder, smile a litte bigger and live just a little bit better, it might be your family or your friends...if you are lucky you get the best of both the worlds!

Smart toilets?

Many women in India would've faced this, every time we plan for a day trip I make sure I use the toilet at home and get out of my door. Many a time I have to hold it till the end of the day as most of the places doesn't have a toilet or even if it does, it will be in horrible condition, no water/not cleaned for months.

I was reading about Bill gates travel to half the world to check a toilet, their focus is in providing sanitation facility. I admire this quality,  earning money and giving it to make the world better place, great!...

Main problem here is we have toilets in many places, maintaining them is the issue. I feel need of the hour is smart "simple" toilets installed in public places which could self clean effectively.

Men don't have the habit of flushing, women don't dispose their sanitary pads properly. Atleast clean pots can be ensured through these smart simple self cleaning toilets. When I was reading about these smart toilets, it has lot of unnecessary features 😵. I just wish every public place be installed with simple effective toilet so women can use it easily.

I still remember our Sinhad mountain hiking in Pune....one can spend a day there, nice hiking spot with yum food. Only disadvantage "Toilet"😭. Men go to the woods and mark their territory!!. Not a good choice for many women.

Akshardham in Gujrat/Modhera/Jyothirlingams/Shirdi/Ajantha/Ellora caves....just think of any tourist spots....issue persists.
