Indian women hide no secret in saying they love sarees. Every day there are a lot of designs, names and textures coming to the shops Initially the cost was low but now-a-days no one seems to observe the cost and longevity. They spend many hours in the shops selecting the saree they want. They also want to see the colours and the shops do not mind in showing the various designs for hours to the customers. It is not the area of the MAN of any kind gentleman, rowdy, learned or not.

What would I do? What I have done till now is the same as other Men – do not go to the shopping with them at all! I have an alternate plan. Accompany them to the shop, spend a few minutes and then come out and find park or a friend’s place to pass out the time. At the end of sale ask them to call your mobile. The straight and easy way! The result will be over love towards you and you must be ready for it.

No such kind of problems with the modern day women – they buy their own chudidhar sets.

For me it might be the sweetest thing at present. But the present keeps on changing and I have to decide fast and correct. The sweetest thing is Love and being Calm and Listen to what others say. It is not because I cannot say anything, but the rightness in what others say. The Americans have a way of saying ‘Action First’. But an action comes first from thinking. Here again an American is fast to point out that first Action comes from Thinking! By American, I mean the Western Thinking. I see many Western people showing interest in Yoga and Eastern philosophy and the idea of separating the West and East should not be there. But the idea that came from the West is ‘Work, Money and Practical Life’ and from the East is ‘Work, Live and Spiritual Life’. Here Work has a different meaning in East – Work only to Live up to what a Man needs minimum. Well I cannot develop new words to define and one has to feel the Life of the West or East.
There is a tendency in the East to fall easily into the comfort zone of the West and I find rarely people who do not enjoy the inventions of Science. But I find many Western people falling into the more simpler (and difficult) way of Life of the East. I find that I feel more comfortable to fall into the Western way of Life as I become older, lazier being forced into the modern day. Do I have to be like this to enjoy Life? At heart I feel I do not have to opt for the comfort and I will vote for the Eastern way of Life.

Due to age and personal reasons the climate in Chennai has become hotter. This is October middle and still the climate is hotter and sultry. All the learned men say that the reason is due to the excessive and faulty usage of the Nature. We go on arguing and fighting but do not realize the true danger. With money we can buy many things that will temporarily solve the problem of extreme hot climate, but the real solution lies in our attitude of respecting and listening to the people who know the nature from their heart. There are many things that the elders and scientists warn us about. We do not listen as the results of the damage had not directly affected us so far. Why blame only the politicians and the road makers, while we the people are to be blamed?

What should I write and not was confusing me for days, though I have been reading and hearing good things. My computer also gave me problems, though on previous occasions I would have repaired it or would have gone to the Internet Center and written my choice. But I have chosen to stay lazy, that is it. May be I am blinking and trying to read more and understand. I must share my experiences and be of use to others.
