How Important Are Babies In Our Lives

A baby, a kid, a child, an infant. Whatever may you term it as. A baby, a small kid is a great medium to connet socially. Now why I am saying this is because I have experienced this all myself. I have some neighbours here who have small babies and kids. When they were not parents, there would be very low and small instances when we would talk or mingle with each other. And the intesity too was not that strong. But now they have small kids who love very very cute and innocent, I feel like loving them. Loving them for what they are. It's the babies who have made us talk again. It is not like that we were not on talking terms or we had ever quarrled, but the new medium of these kids is one of its own ways. The babies made us talk again means that I could not resist the temptation to adore them and praise them for their inosance. If anyone raises this question about such kids, I will completely agree with this view of yours. The coming and going of guests do increase once a baby has taken birth in your house. You then increase the responsibility on yourself that you too need to attend any such function at those guests' house who had once visited you. I think all in all, a baby who does not have even the slightest of notions of what is going on around does become a good medium to boost your social life.

Which is the best relationship in this world?

Which is the best relationship in this world?

Each one can give you a hundred examples and support his answer and each time the answer might seem to be true. Because you have chosen a subjective term to ask your answer 'best'. Anything for that matter can be good, better or best. Husband-wife, brother-sister, father-daughter etc. all these can be best and worst in their own ways and not all can agree with the same answer each and every time. But I think the relationship of a mother is THE BEST in this world. A mother is the only person in one's life who is totally honest and unselfish in her approach towards her children. Even if the kid is troubling his mother, still a mother is ready to accept such troubles. After all, a woman cannot be a mother without taking any troubles, can she? They say, the delivery of a woman is her second birth. When a woman gives birth, she too is born again. And I would say, along with her are born the qualities of love, sacrifice, unselfishness etc. All other relations can be fake, but never a mother's. The other relations are no where even nearer to the relation that a mother shares with her kids.

Kareena Too Busy These Days

Professionalism is a part of profession. If you are professional only then can you remain in the race. Luck will not help each time. There are such actors and actresses who are dedicated their work. Kareena Kapoor is one of such pros. She is currently busy shooting for ‘Golmaal 3’ in Goa.
However, she was suffering from fever for some days but still somehow managed to keep shooting. How long can this go on, thought her colleagues. The shooting was cancelled off and Bebo was advised to get some much-needed rest. However, the star cast was having a merry time in spite of the absence of Kareena.

A Stitch In Time - By Prasad Dhumane

Time, money and energy all are lost due to just simple things not being taken care of at the right time. A stitch in time saves nine.

Sandip stumbled over something in the dark and hurt himself.
“Oh my god! What was that? I seem to have stumbled over and broken the bottle of the cough syrup. Who kept in the way like this nonsense? All the medicine is lost now. And moreover I hurt myself too.”
“Make sure that you keep your eyes open while walking and stop complaining.” Sandip’s wife, Rakhi answered back.
“What?” Sandip was flabbergasted at what his wife said. Instead of helping him she was retorting back at him. “So, you are expecting me to see in the dark, uh? Do you think I have got any supernatural vision? Get the matchbox and light the lantern.”
“That’s what I am finding.” Rakhi said while groping in the dark.
“Finding? You don’t know where you have kept it? All women are of a kind. When will they learn to help their husbands, God knows.”
“What should I do after all? Should I look after the kids, do the household chores, or keep running after the things that you often misplace?” Rakhi said getting frustrated at her husband’s behavior. “You don’t know how to appreciate good things. You can spot the negative things only. I am frustrated by living with you.”
“And who wants to live with you anyway? Why don’t you get lost from my house?” Sandip said while lying down comfortably on the sofa.
Rakhi came with the lighted lantern in her hand. Her eyes fell on Sandip.
“Wow, Hubby dear, you are lying down comfortably and here I have to run after everything. You are a very good helping hand, good.”
“Then what do you think I should do in this dark? I cannot even see anything here. Do you think, I am a nocturnal animal?” Sandip shouted back at his wife.
“Aren’t you one? You know how to come home late in the nights and I also know the reasons for your late comings.”
Sandip did not say anything.
“Speak now, why are you quite? Is there anything to say now?” Rakhi demanded.
“This is my life and I will live it as I want. Di d you get it?”
And the argument continued. Such types of arguments are often heard in most of the houses. Simple works such as putting things in place are ignored and a spat becomes the order of the day.
A stitch in time saves nine, they say. But who cares? Keeping things in place is the most common problem in most households. Once the need of the thing is satisfied, it is considered as a stumbling block and is ‘thrown away’. The very same thing is then recalled when the need arises once again.
