Home maker vs Working woman- Who is Great? and Who do you like to be?

I don't want to hijack the other thread. So creating a new one with a poll.

I have been working but right now a home maker looking forward to start working soon.


According to me home maker or working woman both are equal. Being a home maker is not luxury nor working woman is great compared to home maker. Home maker can always join a job and start working. Family with a home maker spouse live within their means which is a blessing. A working woman has the luxury to hire a domestic help. If she does not want to do that to save money but come and slog at home as well it is her choice. So just because a working woman who works both at home and office is not Great compared to a home maker. It is all personal/family choice.


Having said that working woman are great only when they are the sole bread winners or some families where both spouse work to make ends meet. But when it comes to additional earning or luxury saving both are equal.


Who is Great? Both are equal.

Who do you like to be? Working woman to provide financial support to my family.

Is there life after delivery?

I read a message in my Facebook page which read as follows:

“In a mother's womb were two babies. One asked the other: "Do you believe in life after delivery?" The other replies, "why, of course. There has to be something after delivery. Maybe we are here to prepare ourselves for what we will be later. "Nonsense," says the other. "There is no life after delivery. What would that life be?" "I don't know, but there will be more light than here. Maybe we will walk with our legs and eat from our mouths."


The other says "This is absurd! Walking is impossible. And eat with our mouths? Ridiculous. The umbilical cord supplies nutrition. Life after delivery is to be excluded. The umbilical cord is too short." "I think there is something and maybe it's different than it is here." the other replies, "No one has ever come back from there. Delivery is the end of life, and in the after-delivery it is nothing but darkness and anxiety and it takes us nowhere."


"Well, I don't know," says the other, "but certainly we will see mother and she will take care of us." "Mother??" You believe in mother? Where is she now? "She is all around us. It is in her that we live. Without her there would not be this world." "I don't see her, so it's only logical that she doesn't exist." To which the other replied, "Sometimes when you're in silence you can hear her, you can perceive her."


What a subtle life message the above paragraphs delivered to us! We believe what we perceive is the world. The Creator is all around us without us knowing it. There is Creator who knows how to take care of our requirements, gives us what we deserve, listens to us carefully and is constantly in love with us. We build our life in the instrument called mind and begin the process of setting up our perceptions. We have the option to believe that we are responsible for our own life, refuse to cut all our ties (umbilical cord) and live in the womb (world) without knowing the world outside of it. Alternatively, we can explore what is in store for us after life, build spiritual knowledge, develop our own character that deserves the blessings of the Creator.


If we carefully observe the baby in the womb, it is constantly under development and is preparing itself to come to the world. Similarly, our life is also for development to prepare ourselves for the ultimate well-being of our divine being. We can visualize the death as end of life like the baby thinking delivery is the end of life or alternatively believe that there will be light after life and our preparation during the time here in this world helps us to see the light after life.


Frankly, birth removes the darkness of the baby and shows the light that exist in the world. Similarly, the death actually removes the darkness of ignorance and makes us understand the purpose of life. Life is about reconciling our perception with the reality. If mother around the baby knows how to protect the baby even after birth, the Creator who brought us into the world knows how to protect us even after our death.


When we review the life of a fetus in the womb, it is described as follows: The baby’s heart will begin to beat by the end of the first four weeks of pregnancy. During the second month, genitals will begin to form as will eyelids, but his eyelids will remain closed until later. In the third month, he will begin to form soft nails as his fingers and toes continue to grow. The fourth month begins the period where he can hear and swallow in the womb and he will begin to develop eyebrows and eyelashes. In the fifth month, the baby can suck his thumb, and wake and sleep regularly, and the mother can begin to feel him kick as he becomes more active. During the sixth month, the baby will start to grow hair, his brain begins to develop and he starts to open and close his eyes. In the seventh month, he can recognize light when his eyes open and can respond to sounds by moving around. During the eight month, he can hiccup and his bones begin to harden. In the last month of pregnancy, the baby gets ready for birth by turning his head into a downward position, and he’ll gain about a half-pound per week.


Similarly, our initial life is entirely dependent on the parents and their love. In the second phase, we begin to gain knowledge of perception. In the third phase, we begin to be independent and rely on our skills to survive in the world. In the fourth phase, we experience both pleasure and pain and begin to understand that life is a combination of both. In the fifth phase, we transition constantly between reality and perception. In the sixth phase, we begin contemplating on the purpose of our existence and become more active in understanding the reality. In the seventh phase, we begin to recognize the light that facilitated our existence. During the eighth phase, the experiences in life combined with the knowledge we gained enables us to prepare ourselves for us to thrive more in reality. In the final phase, we begin to cut off our ties, position ourselves for exit and seek the Creator.


I believe there is a reality after death and we are here to prepare ourselves for that reality.

Jan-30-Introspections

We never fail to quote the upanishad vakyam

"Satyam brooyath, priyam brooyath,

na bruyath sathyam apriyam"

( Speak the truth;Speak affectionately.Never tell the truth, if it is not comfortable or affectionate)

Children are brought up among lies and unmixed lies.It is normally said that a child will never lie. But psychologist say that all kids, without exception start telling lies at

the age of two and lying plays a positive role in child development and that lying develops individual thought process and emotional control.


But sometimes truth has to be concealed- a shocking news to the weak hearted and the like. If we keep silent, the noble quality of silence itself becomes another form of lie.

Normally lies are described as sugar coated capsules to convey bitter truths.


But poets, dramatists,, fiction writers belong to the category of harmless liars that have social acceptance.Those lies have entertainment and aesthetic value.

What to talk of politicians and their election promises-nothing but lies wrapped in pretty packings?

Are we not aware of medical practitoners giving false hopes to terminally ill patients and extracting lakhs only to convey God's will?

Legal experts' lies belong to a specially classified'technically true' category.Unfortunately there is no dearth of oaths to ''speak the trurh, the whole truth and nothing but truth'

There are fraudsters in education, marketing ,religion and among so called godmen too.


The business world cannot function without lies..,In their dictionary truth and integrity have altogether different meanings. Lying produces results; whether bolstering a personal credential or developing a sales pitch– business people lie because it works– lying in business is the rule; and not the exception,though they know fully well that lying is unethical, immoral, even criminal,.it becomes a useful ‘tool’.


Some people lie to avoid conflict,some to save face,some to market their products( even financial product.) In Real estate business they withhold significant informations not favouring the clients,


According to a survey,both men and women lie in approximately a fifth of their social exchanges lasting 10 or more minutes; over the course of a week they deceive about 30% of those with whom they interact one-on-one.

…Perhaps some businesses would collapse under the weight of relentless honesty, with unveiled truths destroying the ability to connect with others..


. This means that, when you lie, you must be comfortable telling the lie to everyone, and moreover, you must act as if the lie was true. There’s a saying in creative writing, which is most often applied to poets, and it says; the bad ones borrow and the good ones steal… and, a similar rule applies to lying in business; steal but don’t borrow… If you’re going to lie about something, then you must be prepared to continue lying about it for ever… that means if you’re going to use a lie– you must own it


When a business over-performs, it runs the risk of raising expectations for future years, when it under-performs, it runs the risk of the share price being devalued, and people’s jobs also might be at risk… Hence, a business common practice is to release provision in a bad year to bolster the bottom-line, or take bad news in a good year to manage down profits… but are these practices really lies? Universally accepted lies become truths.


We have heard a story of a butcher entering the hermitage in search of a cow.

" Did you see my cow?'-the butcher

The sage , if says 'yes, the butcher would kill the cow.

The butcher" Pl tell me what you saw with your eyes.

Sage_" eyes can only see and cannot speak."

Butcher:-" then speak with your tongue"

Sage" But my tongue cannot see.

"That which sees cannot speak and that which speaks cannot see",repeated the sage.


The butcher went away murmuring" I don't understand his philosophy'

The cow was saved by not revealing the truth.

In Tamil there are two clear expressions;

UNMAI-to say what we see.

Vaaimai-to analyse what we see with our mind and convey which is not harmful"

Thiruvalluvar has composed ten couplets on" Vaaimai"


What the hermit said belonged to this category.


It’s better than being fully honest; after all, honesty without compassion is cruelty.


If a person is asked 'what’s a lie and what is not' most people would probably answer– ‘it depends’…

Perhaps ‘the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth’ has become a relic of a bygone era. There is no absolute truth except the truth that there is no absolute truth.


Even if Gandhi is alive he may again say " Sathyameva Jayate" but add ",the satyam having undergone total metamorphosis and redefined in toto"

Bracing myself for a fresh MIL encounter PLUS the Gifting Woes Continue!!

As I mentioned in the prior post, DH is away on an onsite posting..

My little SILs daughter, apple of our eyes, turns 1 this week, and its a day long big grand event with havans and poojas and to follow suite we also have an egg less orthodox party!!


Its been 6 months since that eventful day of me moving out of ILs house.

SIL stays close by to them with her ILs.

DH kept preventing me from going to SILs place to see the baby all these months as it will be unfair if my ILs get to know that I visited SIL and not them! PLUS as MIL had treated even SILs DH very badly, her MIL is also very annoyed with and sarcastic about my MIL.

To prevent fueling any gossip of us moving out into separate house DH told me to stay away.


Now I will be seeing them all after a long time, and pray that no one asks anything in-front of my MIL about me absconding since long!



NOW FOR MY ISSUES:
Pls give me some motivation!!


1) DH has requested that I coordinate with MIL and reach the venue together with ILs to prevent raised eyebrows at the function!

As he isnt around this time, I need to call her myself and we all enter the hall together!!! Oh buoy!!! GULP!!

SIL on the other hand has told me I have a big role to play and a long task list of running around. I am happy to be there.....but MIL.....................


2) Me and DH planned to gift the kid a car or a cycle. MIL wants us to give gold instead. So DH is giving her our contribution, and she will be purchasing and giving to the kid.

I pay....I go empty handed to the function????

Is this fair??? Is this what families do "together"???

And this will go on forever till ILs are around??

Acceptable custom?

I am feeling lost!!!!

And with DH not around I dont know what I will do!!

Staying alive is a blessing-Consolidated

“Meghna wake up. Its already 3:00 AM and you need to get ready by 6.00 AM for the muhurtham”, said Meghna’s aunt Lalitha with a smile.

It was Meghna’s wedding today and her parents Narayan & Sundari were in full swing looking after the arrangements. It’s their dearest angel’s wedding and they left no stone unturned and did their level best to make it the best.

Meghna slowly opened her eyes deep feeling that trickle of joy in every pore of her skin. Her eyes sparkled with love and she was already on cloud nine to get married to the man she loves deeply. She was looking forward for this moment just like any other girl for the past 5 months. "Within few hours I will be Vikram’s wife and I will be totally his and my happiness will be solely dependent on him", thought meghna. She smiled dreamily to herself and was caught blushing by Shwetha and her cousins Anuj and Aroop. They started singing,” Haule haule Ho jayega pyaar “ and started dancing.


They started making fun of her only to be driven away by Lalitha aunty. She exclaimed,” Meghna look at your Mehandi. Its so dark you lucky girl”. Ecstatic meghna thought that her life is going to e very beautiful and blissful every moment with Vikram. But destiny had some great plans for her.


She was taken for some haldi rituals and finally the bride was ready. The wedding was of Kerala style and would last for only one hour after which the bride and groom would directly proceed to the groom’ s home. Meghna was gorgeous in her blood red sari with golden border. Her braid was adorned with jasmine flowers. Meghna infact told a big no to make up done by a beautician instead insistited on doing it herself fearing caking up disasters. Right from the Revlon ivory white foundation & compact to bindi she took all efforts to look simple yet elegant on her happiest day of her life, atleast she imagined it to be. She was stunning like a heroine and even the videographer lost his breath for a second on seeing her. Meghna was led to her marriage hall from the dressing room after a light breakfast of idli, vada and kesari.


The marriage was held in Guruvayour temple and a reception was arranged in a banquet hall after the marriage. Meghna’s eyes became moist when she saw the sweat stained faces of her parents who felt unconditionally happy on seeing their daughter happy. Her amma told,” Ammu you are going to enter a v beautiful phase of life. Enjoy it every moment together with vikram. There will be misunderstandings but see to that it doesn’t affect the bond you both share.”Vikram was already seated in the groom’s place infront of the sacred fire. Meghna just froze seeing her beloved.


Vikram, a not so tall, average guy of 28 years is a self obsessed person with his own pre defined notion about life. All he had in his mind is to become the Chairman of Council of Scientific & Industrial Research (CSIR), India, a premier national R&D organization. He was working as a scientist in National Chemical Laboratory, Pune for the past 5 years. Academically well qualified, he had an inexplicable quest and dedication for research and his complete world revolved around protons, neutrons and electrons.


No new movie, a hot chick in the pavement, latest gadgets,FB, whatsapp fascinated him. Infact he did not even upgrade his mobile in the past 10 years. His world is his dim lighted spacious room at the first floor of his bunglow where he lived with his widowed mom Kamalam.As soon as he comes from work at 9:00 PM he watches TV for sometime, eats dinner and gets back to his room and starts his research work.


When the alliance of meghna came, his mom persuaded him to meet her once and then decide as he was in no mood to get married . The day he met meghna he just looked at her once and though indecisive consented for the marriage. The type of person he was, he wanted to do research in everything and this time in the name of marriage. He never understood a real alive human being is ready to share her life with him unlike his chemicals that can be controlled by reactions. According to him Love and romance are the most over rated emotions that deviates a human concentration from his destiny and achievements so he gave no room to these feelings.


Meghna on the other hand is a die hard romantic who believed that love makes the world go around and she did believe that he would eventually come around assuming him to be a shy guy.Meghna ignored all the red flags that came her way that surfaced itself in a subtle way. She was too naïve to understand that this relationship was controlled by Vikram. He controlled her in everything from the dresses she wore, to the people she interacted with, to the places she went etc. When she expressed her views or protested, his anger and silent treatment broke her heart to pieces.


Still she loved him. That blind stupid love that has engulfed many only to spit them out into realm of pain and sufferings.


Vikram looked at Meghna and was stunned by her beauty. Lust dominated his feelings and it was nowhere near to real love. He tied the mangalsutra with the blessings of all around. Meghna got ready to live a life with vikram wholeheartedly throughout thicks and thins.

Final try - 20 days of change (cycle 1)

Ever since I was 10 years old I have been carrying excess weight. I am 31 now, still overweight, still feeling miserable and still struggling. I feel extremely ashamed that I have failed again and again in keeping my weight under control.

I am sick. Sick of being conscious of what wear, sick of hearing "hey, you have put on weight", sick of eating and feel like I shouldn't have eaten that and sick of looking at the mirror and seeing someone else.


I am now 72.1kgs, which is ridiculous amount of weight for someone who is only 4.9ft. :( If I dont do something about it now, the situation might become worse. Ever since i crossed 65kgs, I have been facing various health issues.


I want put a stop to it now. Having been a silent reader for couple of years, I have seen the motivation indus ladies can provide and i belive that it will help me over come this struggle.


I plan on doing this for 20 days first. Why?

Long term self control has always been my down fall. So I want to make sure I don't fall yet again.


Before I officially start this journey I want to explore the things that has brought me here and stopped me from succeeding previously.


How did I get to 72.1kgs?

1. Over eating/binge eating

2. Emotional eating

3. Extreme laziness

4. Inactive lifestyle


Why did I fail multiple times?

1. Change - whenever there is a slight change to my schedule I conveniently stop healthy eating and excerice

2. Lack of consistent discipline and self control

3. Excuses. Oh, I had to do this or that therefore I didn't have time.


Now I know the problems that stopped me from being healthy and i am determined to overcome these issues. I sincerely hope that this is going to be my final try in achieving my weightloss goals.


Lookout out for daily updates and I hope my dear ladies will support me throughout this journey. :)

Hugs to you. Crying does not help.

I suggest that you prepare a short speech and practice it in front of the mirror so that you can deliver it with the correct body language and facial expressions. You need to look neutral, firm and polite while you say it. Read up about communicating dissent and conflict resolution online.


Do not address problems of the past. Just say (with eye contact) that you want to say something to him, please can he just listen and think about it. Tell him that you want the two of you to solve problems better instead of childishly being passive aggressive; you think it is especially important for the two of you to do this now since your little girl is rapidly growing up and it is imperative that you both set a good example for her.


Then tell him that you would like him to think about it; perhaps read about better conflict resolution techniques you could both apply to effectively solve issues and bring harmony to the house. Tell him you are doing some research. Tell him that you really would like to make your marriage stronger and your home better for your family. Then leave him be while you are being normal. Remain strong.


next time you think something is going to flare up, without getting into a discussion or argument, neutrally say "I think we need to cool down and think about it." Move away and remain normal about other things. Use a different mode of communication - say email, so that you can think about what you want to say and use the right words to say it.


Good luck

Problem with the upstairs neighbor

Hi all

Am facing issue with my upstairs neighbor(they are also South Indians). Their kid is very small. But the problem is with her sister's kid who stays in their apartment all the time except night time. But throughout the day (sometimes) and evening and sometimes till 10:30 to 11 in the night, its very horrible to stay downstairs with the voice - She keeps jumping, running etc. We complained to the rental office. Since we did complaint couple of times, the rental office is now asking us to call 911 - non emergency. That guy is very rough and tough and am kind of nervous to call 911 as sometimes my parents might be alone in home. Is there any other way to teach them a lesson ? Not even single time they apologies to us for their kid's act. That makes me more pissed off....

Thukaram's poem [English translation.]

God's Name

He who utters the Name of God while walking

gets the merit of a sacrifice at every step.

His body becomes a place of pilgrimage.

He who repeats God's Name while working

always finds perfect peace.

He who utters the Name of God while eating

gets the merit of a fast

even though he has taken his meals.

Even if one were to give in charity

the whole earth encircled by the seas

it wouldn't equal the merit of repeating the Name.

By the power of the Name

One will know what cannot be known,

One will see what cannot be seen,

One will speak what cannot be spoken,

One will meet what cannot be met.

Tuka says,

Incalculable is the gain that comes

from repeating the Name of God.

Long distance life - Getting harder

Hi

Me and fiancée are in long distance relationship. We fell in love during our computer class, he gave me a greeting card with a love poem through my friend. I thought about it for a 1 week and then told ok.

we used to talk over the phone couple of times a week. I am very shy and he is very shy so we hardly spoke our feelings. even when we meet rarely we just got scared and tensed and felt too uneasy.


He is getting busy with business and I am USA on a project. He is not the texting type of guy, if I send a message he will see it 2 hours later and reply 4 hrs later. then the time diff and ISD calls. he is not into any social media or connecting apps. He world is his electronics business.


I am wanting so much more and very uncomfortable to initiate romantic talks on phone or text. he is giving a hard time. I don't know what to do. we both love each other so much in our hearts but cant express. both are from very conservative families and brought up in orthodox environment.

Embarrassed? Again?

Put mildly, I can say I have been preoccupied. How can I be anything after a roller coaster of a weekend? While one friend takes me out to a dinner, another calls me home for dinner and while talking mentions that the reason she practices meditation everyday no matter what is precisely for that - to keeps her grounded and that it allows her to understand that while everything changes around her world, her routine of meditating stays put. I agree thinking perhaps any habit cultivated that way would do the same, mind wandering again to rituals, parents and grandparents that followed them religiously no matter what, making me wonder if that was the reason.

I realize that I am still on that ride, allowing my monkey mind to take me places that I did not know existed when I realize an hour too late that I have missed teaching my regularly scheduled yoga class! I am embarrassed beyond words, apologize to all involved but that does very little to ease anything I am feeling, other than adding on to the mix of confusion I am already going through. A gentle reminder from my DH that I need to be mindful and be present no matter what does not help either as I shoot a look at him that says "Look who's talking" for isn't he the king of forgetfulness? To tell you just one incident, after having made arrangements for a big party, all I ask my DH to do is bring a bag or two of potato chips on his way back home from work and guess what he comes home with? A big bag of potatoes. While he puts the big bag on the counter with innocence, displaying a broad grin of a man who has accomplished something perfectly, all I could do was melt and be speechless!


I wake up, adamant to get back to routine and head out to gym, congratulating myself for trying this hard. I go to the water fountain to fill water and am aware of this person waiting impatiently for his turn. I turn around, offer a polite morning and a 'thank you' for waiting and with out waiting for a response back, rush to my already in session spinning class. I put my left foot on the pedal, and as I bring my right foot around, I freeze. Now I know why that frown had turned into a smile on that gentleman's face waiting behind me for a drink of water. I look at right foot again, look around and am only glad everyone is too busy spinning working out to notice my well.....mismatched shoes! Yes, I had worn entirely two different shoes on my feet - color, lace and what not! Oh well, too late now is all I think as I run quickly in my mind the lengthy walk to the water fountain, back to the spinning room and the number of people I have already bumped into. Not wanting to make a bigger deal of this, I go through the motions of spinning and sneak out of the class skipping the cool down. I am sure that one lady in my row had her eyes open wide when she saw me walk by as she was stretching!


As soon as I come home, my DS is ready for school and to tease him I ask him to point out the anomaly in my dressing and his eyes go right to my shoes and his mouth leaves a "Oh mom" but then recovers quickly to shoot out a "This is another reason why I don't want you walking in to my school" and heads out. I am tickled now and so impulsively take a picture and send it to my friend and a yoga buddy who absolutely cannot take anything odd to the extent that even while she sleeps, she makes sure she sleeps evenly, as far as her posture is concerned. While she loves everything even, I love everything odd and we joke that we balance one another out well. So I was not surprised when her message back says "Now how do I balance this out?" I keep the shoes on, to see my DD's reaction. I can't wait for her to wake up and take a look. Even at her groggiest best, she is a little mommy I tell you, for as soon as she sees my shoes, she goes with a "See, this is another reason why you must tie your lace and not slip in your shoe like you do!". While helping her get ready, I tell her that one time for my first ever interview here, how I had worn two different ear rings and only had realized after coming home, while removing the ear rings with a sigh of relief at a 'gone well' interview only to turn red in face realizing the faux pas.


Oh well, now can you see that these things happen routinely in our house hold, most definitely to me? If you still do not believe and if you have time, here take a look at what I had shared earlier Have you ever been embarrassed?






Embarrassed? Again?

pacharisi ( raw rice) or pulungal arisi ( boiled rice) which is good for 9 month

@KAME Sister,

Actually Pulungal rice in the long run is good, but as your MIL points out later if your kid gets used to Pulungal rice, then when you all eat pachaiarisi you will end cooking both, it is not that Pachaiarisi is bad for your kid, In our home all children including me were brought up with pachaiarisi only.


Decide on one rice, dont confuse baby's digestive power, May Baba guide you always, SAIRAM

Very tricky situation..how to deal with it

Me and my husband live in US(no kids yet). My in-laws stay in bangalore. My sil is having kid of 13 years. She is having problems in her marital life. She has been living with her parents for almost 10 years now. They have been contemplating divorce for some time.

I being a divorcee myself(this is my 2nd marriage), completely understand my sil situation. I am in full support for her remarriage, whenever we talk I make sure I pump enough courage to her.


My fil is a very nice person. But sadly he has blind love for her daughter(understandable; even my father was possessive during my divorcee days.) These days whenever we go to India, he keeps giving me instances of how the son should take care of the sister and that the sister should get full respect in the household if she had problems in her husband's place and that she has returned. By mistake, I asked them once why she is not coming to US and working here as she can be more independent( She was a green card holder at one point; now working in IT field in bangalore). Tats it, now they are planning to make her move from bangalore to our place and my husband will be the father figure for the kid!!


They are trying to get her H1b visa sponsored, looking for jobs in the state where I stay. I am completely freaking out, I wish the happiness for her, but not at my expense. I CANT look after her kid for rest of our lives. My FIL has started saying that "looks like my last year's will be in USA". I mean, they are all planning to come and stay here with me :( I did not sign up for this.


My husband feels very delicate about this situation and is torn between his father and me. He feels it his responsibility to look after the sister. I do not know how to convince him. If I say too much negative, he might flip out if I have to help my parents in the future.


Now the FIL, MIL and the kid is coming to stay to with us for 2 months in July. We recently bought a house here. Seeing big house, empty rooms, good schooling area, I think their decision to move to our place will become stronger and stronger. The kid loves my husband. My husband feels really bad for the kid. He has been without a father for a long time. So we are planning to take him around in USA and making sure that he has a good time. Now I am thinking that if we do all that, the kid will obviously like our place and he too will start saying the same mantra of moving with us. I am too confused.


1.How do I tell them subtly that I do not want any responsibilities for the SIL and the kid?

2. I do not want to have a bad relation with them. So what should be my next move?

3. My husband is VERY sensitive person. When my parents came to USA last year, he was looking after them like his own parents. I do not want to hurt him. Please give me some points to convince my husband against this.

Hi goldencookie.

How about making Mango Pachadi Kerala style?First cut the mango into small pieces and cook it with a little salt and haldi powder with just enough water.Cook it half way and leave to cool.Next grind 2tbsps of grated coconut 2 green chillies and a 1/4 tsp of mustard seeds all in the grinder like a chutney .Next add 1/2 cup of yogurt to this and blend till smooth .Mix this into the cooked mango pieces and swicth on the stove to medium heat.Keep stirring till few bubbles appear on the sides .Switch off.Do not let it boil as it will curdle.Add more salt if needed.Lastly temper it with mustard seeds,.little jeera, 2 dry red chiilies and curry leaves.This will last in the fridge for 3/4 days too.Hope you'll like it!

Another easy recipe is to cut it and cook it with little salt, haldi and chiili powder.After it is cooked soft add jaggery made into thick syrup consistency and boil till it gets thick.Lastly season it with mustard seeds, methi seeds, and curry leaves.This will last even longer in the fridge and can be had with any snack.

Love – Only on Valentine’s Day???

We are a fortnight away from day marked for Love – Valentine’s Day. Well no harm in penning my thoughts about it I thought today, so here I am.

I know there is a loads of information on the net about this day on why it is celebrated, why it come to being, who and what etc., etc. I read them sometime back, and the only thing that I can now recall or know of it yes it’s a “Day of Love for Love” like the other occasions that we have on the calendar.


This time strangely I happened to recall how and when I discovered, got acquainted to this day. I was in school, my 10th grade I remember where the only source for the outside world was the newspaper. And being a avert reader my eyes got hooked to some article about this day, next thing I knew I went to a stationary shop to pick a card which said “I Love you” , my brother accompanied me and cash given by mom. So you can imagine, none of us had a clue about this day, just to keep me pepped up I was allowed to buy a card. A mix of ignorance and innocence in all of us. Here comes the climax of this event…guess who I gave it to now?? To my best friend in class, I was in a girl’s school before you think it was a puppy love rush that I experienced. I LOL even now when I think of it now, my first valentine’s day and card with a girl of my age…now don’t start thinking…I presume the smart me probably knew at a tender age of 16 that “Love” is not just for boys/men. Years have passed with more and more exposure to the web world and media, what not. Things are different now definitely.


I strongly believe and always will that “Love” does not have to be cherished, felt, and expressed just that one day of the year. Say for instance we say or someone says “I fell in Love” – now did that person foresee it?? Did they even want it to happen in the first place?? I am sure the answer is “No” because I believe “Love” just happens…it can be anytime of the day or time, creepily with the person you least expected and detested too. Over the years I have seen Valentine’s Day come and go…celebrating it with friends in college, going out for lunch, movies to my first V day with my DH.


For me the word “Love” holds a different meaning, it is not about just saying “I love you” to the one you love, it is a word that commands respect, care, togetherness, wishing one well, trust, help, support. Love for me is actions…it is about expressing your feelings not just limited to your spouse or children, it is the entire family, your friends, near and dear ones. Love is togetherness at all times, whether there is a heated argument between two people or the waters are still. In today’s word, we are all preoccupied with loads of chores but my experience has taught me that “Time waits for none” and if there is something that my heart wishes to express or do I do it irrespective of all other constraints. Because I believe in “Better late than never” ….we come across people from different aspects of life, whether in office, at home and our surroundings. Making someone feel good or warm does not cost a dime. I am a person who lives and cherishes every single day, not someone who looks forward for a New Year or Birthday to do something extravagant in particular. Every day is worthy of all that I can make and use of it.


So if there is someone that you are yet to convey/express your feelings to go ahead and do it. That would be the moment of “Love”. Apologising for a wrong and seeking forgiveness also is an act of “Love”. Whether it your spouse, children, parents, siblings, friends…..don’t stop yourself from that one sms, email, call, meeting that could do wonders.


Love and be loved……

why i am not able to concentrate on office work when In-laws at home?

Hi IL ladies,

it is small issue only. i started doing Work from Home from 1 month onwards :). but again i has to attend office in next month :(


ok. today i analyzed that, i am not able to concentrate on my work from the 1st day . some thing disturbed mind rolling out all day. even though i spent 3-5 hours in front of system, i couldn't finish work.

Partial and selfish PILs - Looking for ideas

OP,

Your husband is right. Please don't react to these things. They are not worth fighting over. Just give a formal invitation next time. Don't beg them to come. They will come if they want to. You can not force them to come against their wish, as bad as it may feel. They are your PILs, not parents, OP. Keep your expectations minimum, and maintain formal relationship with them.

Planning to start after school home facility In dubai

Dear friends,

Let me introduce myself, I am Smitha S, a working mother living in Muhaisnah.


I am planning to set up a after school care which should be equal to home facility provide healthy quality life to kids of working mom's. My ultimate aim to reduce the stress of working mothers like healthy food,studies,kids remaining alone in home ended up with junk foods habits etc... Special tuition's for the needed children by qualified teachers..


Why should i set up a place like this??,is it only for money ???or am i passion about starting a business.????....answer is no..from my own experience i have got a plan for this initiative.


I am a mother of 2 years old kid. From the day i came to dubai i am seeing people struggling to take care of kid regarding studies,providing healthy food , lack of time to spend with kids , leaving kids alone in home which end up in creating unnecessary habits..etc.... all because working mother doesnt have quality time to do all this which is not purposeful and Dubai is lacking of such facility. When i started working after my baby born i find all places are keen on money not much about quality if quality not lineant in timings etc...which will just like a business and i used to help children with studies whenever i find time for my neighbors and all... From there on i am thinking why cant i come up with some facility which will help all of us. But i know its quite costly and not easy in getting license etc to set up something in Dubai.. Even i would like to set up a place which will help everyone with good quality and affordable fees and lineant in timings terms conditions.


What would i need from this group of friends...


1> Suggestions,advises.( this plan is for school going children not for kids)

2> moral support.

3> anyone willing to be part of this initiative genuinely.


Please help me on this. For today this is enough...bye bye friends.looking forward to hear from all of you....

Stirring the pot :-)

The other day my MIL caught up with an old episode of "neeya naana" (A debate show on TV that I don't really get to watch)

The episode was a debate between MILs and DILs of the world (whoever dared to venture here !!!) Their perspective of where the trouble really lies in the equation of MIL and DIL. Everyone who participated came up with their own examples.


When we were all having dinner, my MIL deliberately quoted some of the incidences shared. Her idea was to indirectly tell me how horrible DILs generally are and all that MIL suffer at the hands of DILs.


A couple incidences caught my attention and wanted to know what you "feel" about these


MIL's version

Son stitches saree fall for DIL (no.. he is not a tailor by profession). My heart aches. Anchor asks why.. MIL says I don't know but it aches


DIL's version

My MIL does not let me put rangoli. When the MIL was questioned, she says "my DIL anyway does not wake up before 8 in the morning. Whats the point of putting rangoli so late.. .. so I put it myself"

. my friend is also moved to US with her husband.


after few days my friend's father misbehaving (double meaning words, touching the hands) with his DIL.

What a Lovely Apple



Today I was zapped to read about Apple, and its profits. It has astounded everyone, and make record profits, something like 1200 crores a day. Wow. And to think that Apple is prospering even after Steve Jobs is no more.i remember in the seventies when Reliance crossed 800 crores profit in the whole year, they said, Bombay dying is a 100 year old company, with 800 crore turnover,and reliance has 800 crore profit ! and today Apple makes 1200 crores a day !!!!!.

Today everyone is dieing to own an Iphone. I don’t have one, maybe it is a case of sour grapes, but who is who of the world has anApple. I have the Samsung Duo, pretty good, and I have heard it copied apple features and they had a big spat. Mine is much cheaper, and equally good. And serves me well, so I don’t feel the need right now for an I phone.


Last year Apple sold the phone in two rates, the same phone, but with two bodies, the plastic and the metal, the plastic one being a 100 dollors cheaper than the metal one, and both having everything else the same, and guess which sold more? The expensive metal one. Which one would I have bought ? the plastic one, for it was cheaper, and had the same features. That made me think, that thepublic likes to get taken for a ride, and willingly too. And that attitude makes money for Apple.


Steve Jobs was not much educated, but still he made so much money. Same is the case with Bill Gates and Warren Buffet. And also back home, Dhirubhai Ambani is another example of recent era. All entrepreneurs, with no family backing, who went thru rough times, to later on succeed and outshine the previous big companies, Steve jobs and Gates overtook the giant IBM and HP.


We see parents spending a bomb on the education of their children. They get degree , then jobs. These institutes teach the student to get jobs, but don’t teach them to start out on their own and become another Steve Jobs .


So a mediocre guy , who does not do well academically will not get a job. But he need not lose hope, he can open his own business, and hire all these educated guys, as Steve Jobs and Gates , who have hired hightly educated persons .


So here is one hypothical question for the ladies. Suppose a girl is unmarried, and looking out for a suitable match. She works in a big company, where the boss is matric pass, and hundreds of well educated persons work .She receives proposals from the boss, matric pass, earning crores per month, and from a collegue, highly educated gold medalist, drawing a few lakhs salary per month.


Both the boss and the employee are good in all ways, their parents too good. Which proposal should she accept. The boss would not require her to work, would take her abroad a few times a year, as he goes out on business, he can combine it with pleasure, while the coworker, he would want her to work, for he would need her salary to contribute , and his life would be not as flashy as the bosses.


Do let me know whatwould be her choice, or what would u do in that situation, I am curious to know friends.


So to those who do not get good marks don’t be disappointed, u could be the next Steve Jobs, having an apple every meal eh ! And be hiring all those intelligent guys who outshone u , and left u without a job. Smile.

They said, "Man, what happened to you ?"


He said, "Kev snored so loudly, I just sat up and watched him all night."


The next night it was a different guy's turn. In the morning, same thing, hair all standing up, eyes all bloodshot.

The Unsuitable Suit

Let me confessat the outset that I am no authority on fashion and I never make a fashion statement to the chagrin of my wife.. In fact I am a sloppy dresser.”What will people say at social gatherings?” is the wife’s question. Superfluous one. I never attend social gatherings. I am very allergic to small talk and that is what people do on such occasions. I hate talking about cabbages and kings and whether pigs have wings.

What I wear for more than half the day is a track suit giving the deceptive impression that I am working out 24x7. Just before dinnertime a kurta and pyjama(mostly unpressed) replace it..

So is it surprising that I watch helplessly gritting my teeth when people make fashion statements? After all I cannot pull my non existent hair on seing such absurdities.


Take Narendra Modi’s latest fashion statement, the pinstripe suit. I am simply at a loss for words.

What kind of person will have his name embroidered all over the pinstripes? The suit the premier was wearing during US President Barack Obama’s visit screamed NARENDRA DAMODARBHAI MODI at unheard of high decibel levels.


Before Arnab Goswami organised a TV debate about the earth shaking issue of the suit with all those people who appear only in his Newshour debate on Times Now and are not seen elsewhere castigating Modi. for narcissism, let me rush to arm the poor Bharatiya Janata Party spokesman who is bound to be at a loss for words before the TV camera when quizzed about the suit which the participants in the debate are bound to describe as most unsuitable.


The first defense of the suit is Modi suffers from a short term memory loss and often forgets his own name.. The suit reminds others to remind him that the prime minister’s name is Narendra Modi. He probably got the idea from Aamir Khan’s movie Ghajini in which Aamir keeps the name of the baddie he wants to bump off on his body because he cannot remember anything for more than half an hour

.

The second justification is the suit was to steer clear of diplomatic gaffes and save Obama from avoidable embarrassment. There is a chance that the US president who keeps interacting with world leaders may not remember the names of all of them and tends to forget them at the wrong moment.. Remember how many faces could turn red if Obama addresses Modi as Mr,Whaddyacallim? By getting his name embossed all over his pinstripes Modi, ensured that Obama remembered his name just by looking at the suit..


Defense number three is Modi is a chivalrous man. He didn’t want too much media attention on Michelle Obama and wanted to ensure the first lady’s privacy by turning the public attention on himself by playing the fashion icon, something for which Michelle is very well known. With all these points BJP spokesperson can easily K.O. Arnab and hiis ilk.


Modi ior no Modi you got to admit that Pinstripe suits screaming out the name of the owner have very little chance of getting lost at the laundry.and can be easily traced. No one would dare to steal it and appear in public in it as it would loudly proclaim that he is you. Many laundry guys have the unfortunate habit of renting out laundered suits before returning them to the owner. With these pinstripes they would think more than twice about it.


This idea should be carried over to other pieces of attire too.T-shirts should have a logo with the owner’s name and the name should be embossed on jeans, shoes and socks. That would save us a lot of trouble.. To protect their expensive silk saris from being stolen women can have zari embroideries with their name. Even thread work can loudly proclaim the owner’s identity.

Modi, always a pathbreaker has shown the people who lose their clothes and shoes how not to let them fall into wrong hands.. It is for us to follow him.








The Unsuitable Suit

Feeling very jealous and angry at the same time !!!!

The fear, jealousy and hard feelings usually comes out of insecurity. You may not know how insecure you are about yourself and your present life. It may be something like your inferiority about being less qualified or less richer than your in laws. It is not always the case with every normal person.

Needless to say how bad people my in laws were. Even then, I had no hard feelings about my BIL's education, salary raise or even the wealthy background of my co-sisters. Because I am one very strong woman, who has a very high value about myself. I never count myself any lesser than anyone. So, what others gain or loose seldom affect my mind.


It is true, sometimes we do feel bad about some extra positive news or luck of a mean person. But it never comes up this way as jealousy, fear or insecurity to post a thread like this.


Girl, you are a supper, sweet, excellent and nice woman of your own. No one can be compared with you, as everyone has their own unique life with their own set of ups and downs.


Your SIL may be proud about her DH, so what?

I am also proud about my DH, and many others here including you are also the same. Take it that way.

If she blabber something irritating or rudely, then take it easy. Tell her you are also happy, proud about her DH. More importantly, you are bit relieved because of the fact that her DH is supper rich or qualified. Because many women suffer because of their poor, vulnerable and needy SILs. Take it positively, and show it out. They will stop hurting you.


If they are supper rich, then what?

You may be rich in something else... May be a good H, good kids, good health.. Think about it. Do not always compare.






Feeling very jealous and angry at the same time !!!!

I would like to be a Surrogate

I have changed a lot!

Hi ladies,

Yesterday i was discussing with my husband about my relationship with my inlaws. My husband said that i always think about negetive side. I always think about what wrong my in laws did with me but never remember what good things they did for me. As somehow i have made my space in in laws family and now there mouth are shut, still i m not able to forget my past experience with them.


Before my marriage i was working women. I never bothred about what is happening in my relatives life or friends life. I never hurt anybody and never get hurt by anybody coz neigther i interfere others life, nor i expected anything from them. I fought for wrong think, fought for men and women discrimination and so many things. Not only for myself but for others too. I always stand for them who were weak n can't stand for themself and i never bothered about what other people will say about me.


My family never stoped me for anything. They always supported me for anything i did coz they knew that i know my limit. I was living my bold life then.


Now i wonder how a marriage change people. Marriage totally changed my personality, my thinking, my behaviour, an entire me. In my marriage life there are total four phase where i found changed in my behaviou

r.


First phase

In my first phase i was silent and sweet. I accepted my in laws as my own family. My marriage is love marraige and husband coveinced me that his family is so good and if i behave good to them they will love me like a daughter and sister. I obeyed every thing whatever my in laws ordred me right or wrong(which is totally opposite of my personality). MIL & SIL domineted mr(this was also not me). I was tortured during my pregnancy and did many thing which i hated doing that. List is never ending but i toloreted all those thing which i can't believe i did those days. I feel how stupid of me and how did i brought those streangth to tolorate and not fought back.


Second phase

Second phase was that when i feel like now this it. Now i m no gonna tolorate anything coz it was affecting my marriage life and health. There was huge fight 2 3 times with my inlaws(MIL & SIL) and my husband also supported me for that. I m proud of him for what he did. Its not easy for everyone. This time i showed them 50% of my real face coz it is so difficault to be which we r not. Its like stopping strom inside us. If we don,t let it come outside it will definately effect us, very badly.


Third phase

In my third phase i started searching in internet about in laws. How they behave, what r their point of view, how other DIL are doing etc. As i didn't have any friend in this country internet became my friend. Specially indusladies where i share my question and quiries. In this phase i learned how to handle them. How to make my husband understand me more. Not to expect from inlaws etc. Which was very hard to serve them, take care of them and expecting nothing from them. However i tried to do that for shake of my family's happiness.


Fourth phase

This phase is my recent phase. 24/7 i m thinking about my past. i have became very negative personality.I am always thinking about how to take revenge from them. How to make them realise what they did to me. Exposing them. Only these things are running in my head. I am not able to do friendship coz i,ve started seeing only negative part of other individuals. I,ve started beliveing that nobody loves me and care for me except my husband, daughter, my parents and my siblings. I feel that nobody is good around me and if they do someting good to me and my family, i start thinking of his/her motive behind being kind to us.

This phase is being more difficult for me bacause of my in laws behaviour now i m thinking about whole world like them. Even about my meternal relatives i have started thinking same.


Do u guys also feel the same about the whole world? How to feel positive? It it very difficult to live this way. I feel lonely and left away.

Sister's and BIL's Relationship Problem

To all the indus ladies, i need some advice on a situation occured in my sisters life.

My Sister loved a person and got married to him. There was bit of anger from my BIL's parents. But finally they got married to their requirements and demands. They now got a 1 year old baby and my parents came to help them out during pregnancy. During their stay one fine day my mum asked my BIL for constantly scolding my Sister with bad words infornt of them.


There was an argument which i got to know recently. Now my parents left to india and his parents joinined them. Well my sister works full time and they look after the baby on weekdays. Sister's MIL does cooking for the lunch time and my sister does roties for the dinner time (Depending on her MILS mood she may or may not cook enough). MIL get holiday on weekends from baby houshold work and just allocates time to talk to her daughter and playing video games. They are planning to bring BIL's Sisters family to overseas to give some rest as she recently got family planning operation. She is coming with her husband and two kids. There is no objection from my sisters side. All the applications are processed and they will be joining them for 1 month.


Yesterday, the baby vomited what ever they gave to her. First milk was given she vomited that. Then they gave some rice and she vomited even that. My sister gave her a small peice of carrrot and even that came out. While all of them sat down for dinner, my sister gave small peice of roti to the baby(she said thinking she might eat) and her husband suddenly shouted on her. I sister gave a serious look as their inlaws where sitting infont of her. She felt sad and didnt eat the food and went to her room. My BIL came to their room and started beating her a fight broke out and their parent came in to see them fighting. They stopped them and when MIL turned he started to fight at this point my wife shouted her MIL. His Dad was in tears itseems seeing them fight like that. i am not on the side of my sister or BIL. I told her there are ways to do arguments in a human way. i told her to be patient in such situation and act maturely. My sisters arguement is he told her why you are so head strong and who is suggesting you all this(directing to my mother).


I want your advises on how to handle this situation. Basically my sister has no say on what happens in their house. Decisions are made between parents and son(only when they are here). My sister will be told at the end. My sister is a strong persons and a matured lady. i was shocked to hear what happened. Her salary will be going to his account on the day she gets paid. He told her that he will be giving divorce to her. Just got really scared of this and want to give her genuine suggestions to her.


Please not that my BIL is good person in general. but is very nagging about what we cook and if turns out bad. he does look after my sister well but when he gets angry bad words and mistreatment and pinching her is what i noticed.

Need a male perspective - Ex Lover appears






Is he having a bad marriage and rubbing this on his wife's face ?

Why does he want me to say hello to his wife ?

Why is he being like this, no woman wants to hear about the girl his husband madly loved. Seriously I don't understand his mind, please enlighten me ..






Maybe he is trying to rub in your face - look you left me, but I found such a beautiful, sweet wife, who I have two lovely kids with.

Do not keep it a secret from your husband. Tell him you met him, and exchanged phone numbers. Say you do not want to meet and find his request strange. Say you will decline to meet them, as it would be awkward for both you and his wife. Unless your husband is conservative or controlling, he should know this. Hiding things can cause unnecessary misunderstandings later.


As for meeting his wife, there is no reason to do this. Clearly you are not comfortable with it. Offer a polite and short apology, and refuse.


Is there a reason you want to be in touch with him? If it is only because of past relationship, don't bother. It has been 15 years, let him go. Avoid any situation that can be uncomfortable to all.

A few questions

The background is that I am a manager of team in India. I have run into some challenges and now trying to figure out are these caused by the individuals in the team, indian working culture or something else.

We have a process of giving each a merit salary increase every year. There is a specified element related to the inflation that is same for every one and then on top of that an individual share. The individual share is based on your past performance and also how your salary is compared with the rest of the team/job market in general.


I was totally wtf when my team members started to tell me that their colleague got x percent and they got only y percent. In my working culture it is completely unheard that you would discuss your salary or salary increase with your colleagues. I of course refused to discuss the topic.


There is some kind of local policy to reward high achievers every year. I nominated one of my team members to that and she got the award (something symbolic like a coffee mug or similar). At once all the rest of my team was pestering me with questions that why she did get it. I felt like I am managing a group of toddlers.


I am kind of used to the culture where you accept your managers decisions, if you have something substantial to say (something related to the content of the work or similar you can of course speak up). But totally confused with this whining and crying if your colleague get more salary or some silly award with something.


So my questions is. Is it common that you compare your salary and other stuff with your colleagues? And that you start to whine to your boss if you do not get the award/salary increase/whatsoever?

Happiness...



Happiness is a state of mind…

During the same time peace also unwinds….

There is no limit for this feeling…

Like the waves that hits the shores of the sea…and leave…

We must just live in those moments, our mind free flowing….

Happiness is like a blessed angel sent from above…

You thrive to have all your wishes granted…

Not knowing when the clock would strike,

Before it vanishes…and we are blindfolded….


Happiness is when we love and are loved back in return…

Life seems worth living for the ones…whom we call our own…

Being together at all times is what it takes….

Give and take at times does not do harm nor hearts break….


Happiness is doing all that we want to do…

Happiness is living life of the dreams that we once dreamt too…

Happiness can be created by us, also destroyed too….

Happiness is being content, delighted, satisfied that

You are “One” and “Only”….no can be “You”

Dear friends,

i am also a silent reader of IL, i am raji from erode. i am 35 yrs old. In TTC for three years, married (5 years late marriege DH now 42yrs old). my TTC journey up to date


in 2012 went to check up blood hormones and folliculR STUDY both are normal but but DH count Nil, doc said it may be due to infection given tablets.


In Jan 2013 HSG done its normal (based on that doctor) DH sperm count NIL (may be Azoospermia ) recommended for ICSI. But we went to ayurvedic treatment kerala (address got from Indusladies web site)


From March to October 2014 myself and DH taken kerala medicine.


Again want to check with new doctor, we went to SUDHA Hospital erode for first consultation . Dr. said that both of the tubes were blocked (by seeing 2013 report not the new one just taken 2 minutes for scan and even no discussion). she said come in last week of Jan (Pay Rs. 25000) to do Laproscopy for removing one fibroid(3cm) and washing blocked tubes and suddenly told that its waste of time for IUI go for IVF. and highlight is without testing hubby count she said that.(no blood tests no semen test done , 4thday scan only) and said harshly that ur eggs are like grandmother (Kilavi) and if we take Trearment there she assures we will get our baby on Jan 2016 in our hand) we shocked and changed the hospital.


Jan 7th went to another doctor for treatment she said by seeing HSG old report that my left tube is blocked and right is good. but if egg produced continuously on left side during three months we hav to go for laproscopy for clearance so asked me to come on 2nd day of my periods. we didnt said abt azoospermia condition but she recommend for semen testing by MIRACLE its 20 million but motility is 2% and urologist given some tablets for DH for 3 months.


Today is my 2nd day of my periods she checked vaginal scan and said U R Having Enlarged Utreus and adenomyosis (My GOD) so implantation may be difficult so come for 10th day study and recommended for Letrazole. and said if DH count increased we will go for IUI two attempts only otherwise go for IVF due to age.


Now my doubts


1. Adenomyosis and enlarged uterus are same?


2. I got spotting btween 19th day to 27th day then only i got normal periods without medicine


3. is it difficulty to conceive after age 35, even i am vegetarian active person periods are regular


4. for last six months i got some pain during 14th day of my cycle with white discharge ( i thought it may be due to ovolution but now think is it because of adenomyosis)


5. always i have normal periods (3 days no excess days like switch on and off) if i have any of uterus problem how normal periods with normal flow possible.


6. count 20 million with low motility shall we go for a IUI trial is it possible to conceive


7. what to do for enlarged uterus treatment


. My mother told me to try for D &C old method for conception is it correct


Plz friends kindly help in this situation my Doctor given three months time for taking IUI in hand after DH count is normal. so recommend me what to do.
