The inter-religion marriages even in India are now very common or should I say love marriages have an altogether different meaning in our lives today. Most young adults have a very clear idea of what they are expecting in a marriage and who they are looking for to be their life-long partner. 05-Jun-2012 04:00:00 GMT http://www.boloji.com/index.cfm?md=Content&sd=Articles&ArticleID=12314 http://www.boloji.com/index.cfm?md=Content&sd=Articles&ArticleID=11992 The famous Indian English writer has stated some months back in an interview that marriage is not necessary. Whether it is not necessary to him or it is unnecessary as a social institution is unclear. He himself has married four times and divorced all the four times. And of course he is currently dating with another girl much younger to him. He also derogatorily said that women have fascination for wedding and not for marriage and women crave to wear wedding gowns. 07-Mar-2012 04:00:00 GMT http://www.boloji.com/index.cfm?md=Content&sd=Articles&ArticleID=11992 http://www.boloji.com/index.cfm?md=Content&sd=Articles&ArticleID=11491 . 27-Sep-2011 04:00:00 GMT http://www.boloji.com/index.cfm?md=Content&sd=Articles&ArticleID=11491 http://www.boloji.com/index.cfm?md=Content&sd=Articles&ArticleID=11410 Change is a way of life. Life transforms perpetually. It is difficult to find any set pattern in this world except the pattern of continuous growth and movement. From a barbarian to the present day civilized man human beings have always endeavored for something new and remote. But it seems that with the advent of machine and its innumerable and multiple forms human society was never undergoing more drastic transformation. The implications of this machine phenomenon are wide and varied. It has completely changed our attitude towards life. 31-Aug-2011 04:00:00 GMT http://www.boloji.com/index.cfm?md=Content&sd=Articles&ArticleID=11410 http://www.boloji.com/index.cfm?md=Content&sd=Articles&ArticleID=11022 Some separated parents cannot avoid provoking and antagonizing each other co-creating conflict from which both seek relief. Yet and even though separated they continue with their miserable ways each complaining of the other. Both are looking for the other to desist and thus relieve the conflict. 22-May-2011 04:00:00 GMT http://www.boloji.com/index.cfm?md=Content&sd=Articles&ArticleID=11022 http://www.boloji.com/index.cfm?md=Content&sd=Articles&ArticleID=10973 The cry for marital solidarity against family intrusion and alternately the plea for peace and cooperation is more often seen in cross cultural marriages where one party is from an Eastern European Mediterranean Middle Eastern Asian or East Indian background and the other is from a Western background. Western culture values independence and moving from one s family of origin to establish one s own family as a separate unit. Many other cultures value the growth of the primary family where members do not move away to establish independent entities but rather grow and expand within their own family collective. 10-May-2011 04:00:00 GMT http://www.boloji.com/index.cfm?md=Content&sd=Articles&ArticleID=10973 http://www.boloji.com/index.cfm?md=Content&sd=Articles&ArticleID=10583 Life expectancy has increased dramatically it is another matter that old people are finding more reasons for dying than for living. - it is a common refrain thse days that old persons are not accorded due compassion care and respect these days even though the children have continued to remain recipients of all attention.

Most of the time we try to avoid such people since we do not click with them.

Even this is not enough then I get asked what am I Well I thought my first answer was an answer to this question I say. But how can you be both is the reply. This is so frustrating for me. I think to myself I am sure these people would not have a problem with a biracial person saying I am both black and white. Then why can t they accept a person who is both a Hindu and a Christian 17-Aug-2010 04:00:00 GMT http://www.boloji.com/index.cfm?md=Content&sd=Articles&ArticleID=2257 http://www.boloji.com/index.cfm?md=Content&sd=Articles&ArticleID=2256 This article and a few more to follow are aimed to help the students who are freshman and have little knowledge about college system in America.

This is the time when the teens are at the threshold of their adulthood. A situation that makes most parents wonder where did I fail or what did I do wrong. A really nervous situation that needs reassurance - things will be all right. This is that year when kids do not remember anything else but This is my life and I am going to live it MY way. 17-Aug-2010 04:00:00 GMT http://www.boloji.com/index.cfm?md=Content&sd=Articles&ArticleID=2243 http://www.boloji.com/index.cfm?md=Content&sd=Articles&ArticleID=2241 . 17-Aug-2010 04:00:00 GMT http://www.boloji.com/index.cfm?md=Content&sd=Articles&ArticleID=2241 http://www.boloji.com/index.cfm?md=Content&sd=Articles&ArticleID=2239 Now I have this stupendous proposition of bringing forth another human being on this earth who would completely be my responsibility.

And smile adds glow to our face and grace to our personality. To express anger it is said we strain more nerves while to smile only a few nerves are put to work.

This is also the reason for us not adjusting with our life partner. In other words we are getting more and more selfish.

It is like a fire ... feed the flames or it will die. But what is it really I have asked and been asked this question many times. Are you romantic What do you consider romantic Each of us has our own opinion on romance and how to express it. 18-Nov-2010 04:00:00 GMT http://www.boloji.com/index.cfm?md=Content&sd=Articles&ArticleID=2225 http://www.boloji.com/index.cfm?md=Content&sd=Articles&ArticleID=2221 Not long after the honeymoon is over many couples suddenly feel that they must now be serious no nonsense people. They tend to fall into a rut of unrealistic expectations assuming their spouses can read their minds as to what they want and need. But real life is not a romantic fairy tale and only you can create an environment that is conducive to romance and bring out the lover in your spouse. Here are some ideas to zip up your married life. 17-Aug-2010 04:00:00 GMT http://www.boloji.com/index.cfm?md=Content&sd=Articles&ArticleID=2221 http://www.boloji.com/index.cfm?md=Content&sd=Articles&ArticleID=2218 I get perplexed with the projection of this double standard of this new young Indian lot. What is the truth They might have indulged in the physical relations out of natural curiosity but their Indian cultural norms must also lead to conflict within their minds. These premarital relations give rise to the problem of mental distress. 17-Aug-2010 04:00:00 GMT http://www.boloji.com/index.cfm?md=Content&sd=Articles&ArticleID=2218 http://www.boloji.com/index.cfm?md=Content&sd=Articles&ArticleID=2214 Is it normal for an adolescent not to have a dating friend of the opposite sex 18-Nov-2010 04:00:00 GMT http://www.boloji.com/index.cfm?md=Content&sd=Articles&ArticleID=2214 http://www.boloji.com/index.cfm?md=Content&sd=Articles&ArticleID=2212 Freud the father of psychiatry believed that there is a competition between a son and a father. His theory is that a father is afraid of being replaced by the son. However it seems to me that the father is so over possessive of his first-born son that he focuses only on his own ambitions being fulfilled through him. This is reflected explicitly in the story of Mahabharata where Dhrishtrashtra becomes blinded by his own ambition and becomes instrumental in pushing Duryodhan towards evil. 17-Aug-2010 04:00:00 GMT http://www.boloji.com/index.cfm?md=Content&sd=Articles&ArticleID=2212 http://www.boloji.com/index.cfm?md=Content&sd=Articles&ArticleID=2210 I remember 25 years ago when I took my man home my mom only said I gave you good values and I am sure you are making a right choice.

The difficult part is accepting the responsibilities - the easy part is finding solutions. Once we are in control of our lives we are able to focus on the resolutions. Lot of time is saved in unnecessarily blaming others and the problem is taken care sooner than it appears. 18-Nov-2010 04:00:00 GMT http://www.boloji.com/index.cfm?md=Content&sd=Articles&ArticleID=2207 http://www.boloji.com/index.cfm?md=Content&sd=Articles&ArticleID=2205 More and more people are nowadays are opting for one child or choosing to have no children especially in urban Indian families. The reasons for taking this option may be as varied as having less time for physical intimacy after a tiring day a general dislike of the behavior of children fear and revulsion towards the physical condition of pregnancy or childbirth memories of traumatic childhood or even concerns regarding over-population. The terms double income single child and double income no child are therefore very often used in contemporary lingo. 18-Nov-2010 04:00:00 GMT http://www.boloji.com/index.cfm?md=Content&sd=Articles&ArticleID=2205 http://www.boloji.com/index.cfm?md=Content&sd=Articles&ArticleID=2201 When we are young most of the world appears within our control. It s only the mid-life when the need of a partner or a friend is dire in real sense. At a time when we are going through the mid-life crisis when we are lonely without the kids or when we realize that the kids don t need us any more. I personally feel companionship is one of the most important aspects of a married life. 16-Aug-2010 04:00:00 GMT http://www.boloji.com/index.cfm?md=Content&sd=Articles&ArticleID=2201 http://www.boloji.com/index.cfm?md=Content&sd=Articles&ArticleID=2197 . 02-Aug-2010 04:00:00 GMT http://www.boloji.com/index.cfm?md=Content&sd=Articles&ArticleID=2197 http://www.boloji.com/index.cfm?md=Content&sd=Articles&ArticleID=2195 With all the support and encouragement from the grandpa father uncles and the brothers if we still are weak then there is definitely something wrong. 18-Nov-2010 04:00:00 GMT http://www.boloji.com/index.cfm?md=Content&sd=Articles&ArticleID=2195 http://www.boloji.com/index.cfm?md=Content&sd=Articles&ArticleID=2190 Today most couples get married with a predetermined option if it works out fine otherwise I always have the option for a divorce . In a situation like this most of us opt for the easy way out. On the contrary if we are not left with any option we fight till the end. It becomes a survival case. 17-Aug-2010 04:00:00 GMT http://www.boloji.com/index.cfm?md=Content&sd=Articles&ArticleID=2190 http://www.boloji.com/index.cfm?md=Content&sd=Articles&ArticleID=2187 I have often been asked how one can help solve the problems of religion in an inter-religion marriage. My answer has always been that the question of religion is often side-tracked in a marriage. Marriage is not about religion. There are bigger problems to marriage than religion. I am talking about marriage of two people who are really in love with a very practical outlook towards life. 18-Nov-2010 04:00:00 GMT http://www.boloji.com/index.cfm?md=Content&sd=Articles&ArticleID=2187 http://www.boloji.com/index.cfm?md=Content&sd=Articles&ArticleID=2184 Romance is a big question in a marriage. Most marriages start with romance. However after a while it seems to disappear. We start taking each other for granted. Romance is such a beautiful thing that we all want it to stay. Stay for good. 17-Aug-2010 04:00:00 GMT http://www.boloji.com/index.cfm?md=Content&sd=Articles&ArticleID=2184 http://www.boloji.com/index.cfm?md=Content&sd=Articles&ArticleID=2180 Is love marriage better or the arranged What is the basis of a communion between two people When a man asks a woman out on a date the foremost physical attraction is the deciding factor. So is the case in an arranged marriage. However in a love marriage timing is important. 17-Aug-2010 04:00:00 GMT http://www.boloji.com/index.cfm?md=Content&sd=Articles&ArticleID=2180 http://www.boloji.com/index.cfm?md=Content&sd=Articles&ArticleID=2177 It will be nice if we could just accept certain facts. I believe if you are good you are good. There are countless Indians and other immigrants who are doing extremely well in other countries. By our constantly telling our children that we are victims of prejudice we are only inducing inferiority complex in them. Others will look down upon us only if we are suffering from low self-esteem. 18-Nov-2010 04:00:00 GMT http://www.boloji.com/index.cfm?md=Content&sd=Articles&ArticleID=2177 http://www.boloji.com/index.cfm?md=Content&sd=Articles&ArticleID=2174 Staying with someone would mean curtailed freedom to a great extent.

I believe the joint family system has several benefits and hence needs to be re-visited.

Helping them deal with other adults. True they have leant some part by growing up. There is this personality clash that they have to learn to deal with. Some times it is so hard when I find my kids suffering and I am not in a position to help. There are these boundaries that I cant cross.

The kids on the other hand try constantly to prove to the parents that they are equipped to take control of their lives. 16-Aug-2010 04:00:00 GMT http://www.boloji.com/index.cfm?md=Content&sd=Articles&ArticleID=2111 http://www.boloji.com/index.cfm?md=Content&sd=Articles&ArticleID=2107 One of the issues that I get frequent questions about is fidelity and trust. This used to be more of an issue for men both married and single. Men often have shown that they have a tendency to seek multiple sexual partners. As women are having affairs in ever increasing numbers it is challenging the belief that we have been programmed with since childhood about relationships and marriage. Women are increasingly considering this an option for themselves. It is making us as a society ask What is the definition of a marriage or relationship Does it include monogamy 16-Aug-2010 04:00:00 GMT http://www.boloji.com/index.cfm?md=Content&sd=Articles&ArticleID=2107 http://www.boloji.com/index.cfm?md=Content&sd=Articles&ArticleID=2100 Is it okay to be rejected A lot of young adults have this question. Their fears of rejection sometimes keep them from asking someone out. Besides there is a constant question lingering in their mind why the person I like does not reciprocate in the same manner 16-Aug-2010 04:00:00 GMT http://www.boloji.com/index.cfm?md=Content&sd=Articles&ArticleID=2100 http://www.boloji.com/index.cfm?md=Content&sd=Articles&ArticleID=2095 It can be understandable that two married people are unable to stay together for whatever reasons however is it right for innocent children to go through painful ordeals It is more painful for children who do not even understand the intricacies of life. They are left with unsolved questions in mind and eventually end up blaming themselves. 18-Nov-2010 04:00:00 GMT http://www.boloji.com/index.cfm?md=Content&sd=Articles&ArticleID=2095 http://www.boloji.com/index.cfm?md=Content&sd=Articles&ArticleID=2093 Come on you must be joking he says softly to the doctor.

As far as matrimonial entity is concerned there was an era when only the men in the society would be so bold as to put across their feelings and give voice to their needs and yearnings. He would not be afraid to sound saucy thereby adding gall and wormwood to his marital life. On the other hand in order to nurture a serene conjugal life the woman had to oscillate on the same frequency as that of her spouse. She was therefore enforced to make compromises to save the marriage from splitting. 16-Aug-2010 04:00:00 GMT http://www.boloji.com/index.cfm?md=Content&sd=Articles&ArticleID=2090 http://www.boloji.com/index.cfm?md=Content&sd=Articles&ArticleID=2087 The way men treat women is given to them from home also. I can t help myself but make a comment here and there when I see my son s behavior is not good. Ultimately it s his happiness that counts. If he is going to treat his wife badly she will do the same to him which will not be conducive for his happiness. Let me tell you here mother has a greater influence on the kids than that of a father s. It is not that the boys see their fathers behave badly and they do like-wise. If mothers desire they most certainly can influence them. 16-Aug-2010 04:00:00 GMT http://www.boloji.com/index.cfm?md=Content&sd=Articles&ArticleID=2087 http://www.boloji.com/index.cfm?md=Content&sd=Articles&ArticleID=2086 . 16-Aug-2010 04:00:00 GMT http://www.boloji.com/index.cfm?md=Content&sd=Articles&ArticleID=2086 http://www.boloji.com/index.cfm?md=Content&sd=Articles&ArticleID=2082 . 16-Aug-2010 04:00:00 GMT http://www.boloji.com/index.cfm?md=Content&sd=Articles&ArticleID=2082 http://www.boloji.com/index.cfm?md=Content&sd=Articles&ArticleID=2079 . 18-Nov-2010 04:00:00 GMT http://www.boloji.com/index.cfm?md=Content&sd=Articles&ArticleID=2079 http://www.boloji.com/index.cfm?md=Content&sd=Articles&ArticleID=2076 It is important for me to explain why we as Indian parents particularly try to prevent you from hanging out and have a freer lifestyle. 18-Nov-2010 04:00:00 GMT http://www.boloji.com/index.cfm?md=Content&sd=Articles&ArticleID=2076 http://www.boloji.com/index.cfm?md=Content&sd=Articles&ArticleID=2072 Let s start our discussion on a tantric note.

The relationship advances from flirtation to infatuation. This can happen quickly or over considerable time. Eventually there is an expectation that the affair advance to sexual behavior. The participants then claim each other as true love partners who understand each other better than their own spouses. It sounds so romantic and so beyond their control.
