wealth and happiness...

 

Wealth in monetary terms is one important factor to run life ,one should be self sufficient and not live on others mercy,if you have,you can enjoy and as well spare a thought for others..but if you don't have money at all its like a curse living on mercy of others and looking for a new hope everyday..

I always believe that wealth if in moderate quantity can bring happiness and fulfill most of the desires except the princely treatments but if in abundance this wealth is curse...trust me on that!

...happiness is a very subjective matter... what makes one happy might not be for the others..its only inner peace brought about by self acceptance can bring happiness in real sense...I don't believe in collective happiness..if there is such a thing then it could be pronounced in some group or society and not on others..

I have always written for women rights in most of my blogs...where a women suffers from one or the other problem...and trying to highlight the problem areas..

  Women's right to parents property...

its always a right of every kid to inherit what their parents have ,but the law equality lacks here..

The Indian Succession Act, 1925, everyone is entitled to equal inheritance, except Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, Buddhists and Muslims. Under this act, the daughter of a person dying intestate would be entitled only to one-fourth of the son’s share, or Rs. 5,000/- (Sthree Dhana), whichever is lesser. 

 for equal rights in property the will has to be amended as per the willingness of the other family members...

usually a girl or female in the family has no right on any property unless there is lot of wealth ..the property goes to the sons or otherwise decided...

The female is given whatever was there in her wedding and as per the parents ...but nothing unless a will is made by the deceased...

 discussing this point cause one of my friends here in US ,her dad has some family disputes between a father and a son ..where more then half of the major properties in India are given to son but the leftover wealth, they wish to give them to their daughters...but the son kicked out the parents and they were living with the daughter...now they have gone back to India in Chandigarh where they own  a house and some properties..

The will can be be written again as per the wish BUT then conflict is for ever ,,,usually the Boys in the family respect their sisters if property is distributed is in their favor otherwise the brother sister relationship is broken forever...its out of mutual respect the daughters of the family leave their right and give more weightage   to the relationship..which is valued...

I would like to say ..why? when the parents are same why is this biased?and what have guys to loose in this?I mean they will get equally what their wives bring inn if that's the case!why not equal rights in property and whatsoever without any will or law!it should be understood by a common man!

Giving a property right to a girl is like giving her a secured future and some bank balance before she gets married ..she has her money too  if the husband doesn't support her...its pathetic to see the family in court fighting against each other... this wealth which was happiness one time is Curse now!!

its should be a law to distribute wealth equally among all kids without any discrimination  and should be understood by everyone unless anyone is willing to leave their portion to their sibling...no more compulsions or misunderstandings,,,it should be clear ...

Universal Queens
Indian women have not just made their mark on earth but they have engraved their name in the whole universe by flying to space. Kalpana Chawla, who was the member of Colombia Space Shuttle, which exploded on its way back, was the first Indian women astronaut who visited space station. And now following on her footsteps another women of Indian origin Sunita Williams has become the second one to be the member of International Space Station crew.

Indian women have mastered anything and everything which a woman can dream of. But she still has to go a long way to achieve equal status in the minds of Indian men...
which is YET to Come!!!

KARWA CHAUTH

All  indian women around the world ...are celebrating Karwa Chauth.
Karwa Chauth' is a ritual of fasting observed by married Hindu women seeking the longevity, well-being and prosperity of their husbands. It is popular amongst married women in the northern and western parts of India,...some of my friends are doing the same ,took some time to deck up and fasting whole day for their hubbies and having some good time in the evening with food and rituals!!

I dont follow this ritual since its not in the sikh religion (as per the holy book) and nobody has ever done in the family ..though my husband would love me to do this..and see me in loads of jewelery and nice sharp saree with lots of sindhoor and nice updo with lots of bangles...and some anklets...which he always says...may be his tired of seeing me in jeans and tees.....you must be wondering where he got an idea of this kind of dressing up if nobody does it home...but Indian soaps teaches everyone ...he likes watching Indian women decked up in  soaps or serials..and often complains that I should dress up like that for work too...(his idea of leg pulling) 
I remember in our college days every gurl wanted a handsome and rich husband ...this was their Aim of life ...and to reach this goal they  observed many fasts and every other thing...I always wondered who will marry a poor guy?I being a very very emotional person once declared " I will marry a poor Guy"no matter what!!everybody was stunned at my words as if it was a crime I did! ...they looked at both my palms ..I have a beautiful crescent moon if I join both my hands...they said "tumhara pati chand sa hoga " (your husband will be handsome)but with poor guy you will get a ride on bicycle and we will get ride in a car they mocked at me!!...I had tears in my eyes (as if I was really married to a poor guy)I declared after sometime I will also get married to a rich guy ...it was age of innocence and myths,,,,We then went to a baba to know our future(the one sitting on the road)and wanted to know about future ...everybody asked the same question (where is our husband?) the baba was actually surprised looking at us...sayin CRAZY!!one of our friends she was keen on going to Switzerland ..actually asked Baba will I go to Switzerland for Honeymoon?baba had no idea about where switzerland was... baba said"woh kahan hai bacche"(where is that kid?)
another one of my friends smiled and  said "HELL"
so all of got married ..to nice guys...but none of the prediction was correct...except mine ..Baba had said "tumhara bahar ka sanjog hai"(you will settle in abroad) I was actually very happy at that time ...(it was a big achievement for me for those who said I would get a ride on "bicycle")I was on seventh heaven..as if I was moving in US itself...ha haa haaa
...so time passed away ..karwa chauth came and went....I never got decked up the way my hubby wants...the very thought of decking up like Indian soaps  stars makes me laugh loudly ...he is in Canada right now...called me and asked me again, so this year your are getting decked up like indian soap stars? I laughed..ok but how do I break the fast since you are not right here....

IT CAN BE ON SKYPE ... he said...(LOL)
