The wife was telling me this morning, “We must book our tickets to Delhi for August 16 today or it will become extremely difficult to get.”

“Tickets for Delhi? Who told you we are going to Delhi on August 16? And I don’t understand why someone wants to go to Delhi on August 16. People go to Delhi on August 15 so that they can watch and take part in Independence Day celebrations. But not on August 16,” I said.

“Not on August 15, but on August 16 that is the day we will be going to Delhi,” the wife insisted, “And you know we are not going there to watch the Independence Day parade. We are going there to take part and support Anna Hazare’s fasting that he said will be starting again on August 16. The whole India will be there to support him, not only just us,” she said.

“You are mistaken, not the whole India, but some few thousands will be there to support him, six thousands to be exact, if you believe Kapil Sibal,” I said.

“That’s the problem with you and your Congress party,” she continued, “not only you don't want to go to Delhi to support Hazare but you are also underestimating him.”

“Let me make it clear, it is not my Congress party, it is Sonia Gandhi's, and I have no connection with any political party. As far as supporting Anna Hazare is concerned, I am a supporter of the cause he is fighting for but I have my reservations about the way the agitation being staged,” I said.

“If you have your opinion then you must present it to Hazare when we are in Delhi and not to me, I am going there only to support him and not to express my opinion,” the wife said.

“I told you earlier, neither you nor me going to Delhi and that is final.” I said, and continued, “I never said we will not support him. We are just ordinary people. There are politicians, intellectuals and social workers who can carry out this mission more meaningful way, but not us. We will give him all our moral support while watching his agitation live on our television.”

“You will support him by watching him fasting live on television while you are having your dinner, right?” the wife asked. “ You are becoming too selfish nowadays. In fact you must also fast along with him to show your solidarity,” the wife said.

“You know I have acidity problem and if I don’t take my food on time it will get worst, and secondly, if Anna Hazare’s health deteriorates after a couple of days of his fasting he will be forced to get admitted in a hospital by the authorities and he will walk out from the hospital healthier than ever. On the other hand if my health worsens there will be no one to take care of and if I die, even the insurance people won’t pay you the money, claiming that death due to fasting amounts to suicide and suicide is not covered under the insurance scheme.” I said.

“You have a habit of talking too much,” the wife said. “If you don’t want to fast then don’t fast but at least come to Delhi and support me to support Hazare. Can you do that?” the wife asked.

“Okay, I don't want to discourage you. I will try to get the tickets today itself. Are you happy now?” I asked.

“One more thing, tell your cousins in Mumbai to send us a nine-yard saree before we go,” the wife said.

“Nine-yard saree”? You wear normal saree, why you want to wear a nine-yard saree when you go to Delhi?” I asked.

“Not for me, it is for Hazare,” the wife said continued,” “If there is a police crackdown after midnight and Hazare jumps from the stage to evade arrest and lands in front of me I can offer him the saree. I am sure being a Maharashtrian he will be more comfortable in nine-yard saree than in a churidar like Baba Ramdev.”

Homosexuality: What is needed is not court order, but mental therapy

Ever since the court order decriminalizing the act of homosexuality has been announced, most of these so-called Indian journalist lots (print and the visual media) are hell bend on supporting this unnatural behaviour of some insane people. To be straight and clear, homosexuality is the sexual attraction between the same sex people, which is against the nature.

These so-called journalists who are up in arms against the spiritual leaders, for showing their displeasure over the verdict, do not have the sense to understand that God is something that exists in everybody. God is not a separate entity. God is not the one who sits in temples, churches or mosques. God is the nature.

Fertilization happens and a life is produced when man’s sperm is met with woman’s egg. Never in the history of life, had either in the human life or any other living thing, had two male sperm never produced a new life. This is science and that science is God.

Religions are created by human beings, not God. Religion is an institution where we learn what is good and what is bad. We earn the strength and ability to separate good from the bad through religious teachings. The society is a mixture of both, good and bad. It is up to the people’s inner quality and thinking ability that makes him to accept what is good. It is like if you offer a Swan milk mixed with water, the swan has the ability to drink only the milk from the mixture leaving the water in the pot. Though all human being cannot be perfect as a swan in their lives, it is a pity that these so-called, self-proclaimed torch bearers of the society who comes in the outfit of intelligence journalists malign your thought and culture.

Indian culture, which has a deep rooted traditional values have a strong followers and respect all over the globe. It is not necessary for the Indian people to adopt another culture. Unfortunately, that is becoming a fashion.

When some unfortunate western youngsters wore torn jeans due to bad financial conditions, to imitate that style our youngsters wore torn jeans after bringing new jeans and tearing it. You are always attracted anything western. Nobody has the opinion that all western cultures are bad. There are some good. But one must have ability to understand and accept what is good for them.

I do not take the above argument for support of the homosexuality matter as I do not have an opinion that this vulgarity is a western culture. But what is my concern is, Indians got the strength to support the cause publicly and accumulated the courage to exhibit themselves as a homosexuals in public display, surely a western inspiration.

A pity argument in support of this insane act is love. Nobody is against love. Love is God. One must Love all. You love your parents, your spouse, your children, your siblings, your friends, your neighbours and you love God (nature) too. However, every love has different definitions.

The love you share your parents is not same as you share with your spouse, you love your friends and neighbours, but both these have different limitations. The love you give you children is different from what you express with your siblings.

One last word of advice to these so-called ‘intelligent’ journalists lot: You just need only common sense to understand what does this homosexual love is all about. It is only an unnatural sexual attraction between people from the same sex group. What it needs is not a court order, but a thorough mental therapy.
