Western Indians ,no matter how westernised always hold their children close and want to monitor and control their lives. What they fail to understand is that westernization is not just what u wear or the kind of technology,home or even a painting you own or the use of modern medicine and science but also the way one thinks morally. It is doing away with traditional thinking no matter how religious or orthodox you are. Its not only following a trend but thinking and living in that fashion permanently and not just when an occasion arises. You cant expect your children to be brought up or get married the old fashion way with all the rituals. Most couples from inter-religious or inter-caste marriages just prefer a court marriage. They wanna stay unmarried and have a live in relation or just have affairs without settling down. Love is just a part of their life. They still want to love and be loved by their family and by the society regardless who their partners or partners in life may be as they arent harming any family member physically or mentally. So emotionally all they want is that their family accepts them and be there for them emotionally. Not to worry too much about unless they really need their help. To let them be free after they leave college, free to live their life and that their family and society always keep their doors open to welcome them whenever they come visit.
I am here on earth for a reason..and that reason is still to unravel itself in front of me..wish me luck...ciao

Positive Writing
Always "write to inspire" because in doing so you are also motivating yourself. Your actions and experiences should always inspire your writing in a positive way too.
Reading a positive book like something with adventures, love, fairytales, science, technology, music, art, travellers guide, nature, philosophy, a joke, etc. always brings a smile ,a feeling of happiness and motivation or even loud laughter. Anything that excites your mind like knowledge of an unknown place or recipe u like, brings a glitter in ones eyes and big broad smile. You want to keep reading till the very last page. The newspaper or magazine for example which is a mix of poliltics, controversies, murder mysteries, fashion, celebrities, recipes and advertisement of d best new brands.
The writing in an article or advertisement can make you jump up and make a vacation, party or shopping plan or go for an art show or even go vote. Basically doing something totally unexpected.
I always pick up an interesting book, an inspiring story when Im feeling low or bored which distracts my mind and entertains me and I dont stop reading till I'm a bit sleepy.
Keeping a diary or having your own blog is in a way is therapy.But its best to write when your happy or a subject you like than on something sad. So that when you go back read your work, it inspires and motivates you and even others who read it.
Writing when your sad can only create good poetry,song or music. But writing when your happy can bring out the best , most beautiful literature. The words flows like music from our mind. Every line more beautiful than the first. This creates a feeling of satisfaction or victory as each word comes to your mind and finds a permanent place in your blog post or diary. Suddenly nothing seems impossible.
Action speak louder than words. But words which inspire or motivate a positive action speaks even louder.So its always good to note down your actions or experiences which will inspire another person like even good recipe or story of success.

Fun Therapy
Its not everyday you come across a person or a group of people who share d same views and perception as you.
Its practically hard to find anyone like that. So how does a human being survive in a world where theres always a war of words or ideas whether political,religious or simply emotional. And keep himself mentally and physically happy or satisfied.
The solution or cure or even precaution to all the madness, no matter how sane you think you are, is "Therapy".
And by Therapy, I do not mean your mad or you need a shrink. By therapy, I mean "fun therapy". You or we can start a group which meets regularly or on alternate days and plays the role of a wingman in times of fun or crisis no matter how big or small. But not grusome or devious. A group which not only accepts but also does not totally reflect u but also contradicts sometimes even to a boiling point ur views and ideas. More like an intervention but with strangers who turn friends over a period of time.
So how is this different from going to a shrink. Well there is no right or wrong method here and neither are you being charged outrageously by the hour. It not the kind of therapy that will continue for years at length, with no fruitful outcome or breakthrough. Its more like a party or outing with friends or new faces you meet online through a trusted friend.
Its always easier to listen to a new friend about how they percieve you and how u should change ur life or they can help change your life through their own experiences. You might not totally agree but you will atleast listen and go long with their idea, sometimes not to hurt their feelings and sometimes to try a different or new perspective or experiment or challenge in your life.
In the end you feel better about yourself and want to continue making such decisions which affect your life positively.
Social network groups like facebook,whatsapp groups,etc. made by a new friend is always the best way to begin "Fun therapy".
