Everyone should feel welcome here !   That is why this thread's points are being discussed, let the admin make his views clear on this one.

Whether you have good hand writing or not writing in itself is an at and it should be cultivated right from childhood ! True Usha, such letters and notes, especially from the children are one of the few precious things you want to save for eternity. Ever since he learned to write words, my son has developed the habit of writing notes to me and my husband for even very simple things, eg, once he wanted to eat water melon and I had not gotten around to cutting it, he wrote a note to me "I want to eat water melon" in his tiny handwriting and drew a beautiful picture of a watermelon slice, coloured nicely. I have saved it with the date written on the back side. There are many such similar notes I have saved and will keep saving them. I feel that the notes show not just the learning curve of my son, but also the way he chooses to deal with things and saving those notes will ensure that I cherish and appreciate his creativity. That is so sweet of him, they can be so adorable at that stage of life when they are beginning to write and speak...I still have some of my children's old school work and they too go through them and joke about it especially the hand writing.My son never liked writing as a result had a bad hand writing but with some effort from me , his dad and his two teachers , it has improved considerably now

rambabu wrote: Well said sir. Irrespective of Mahatma Gandhi's personal principles or life style, one should see what service he has done to the Nation. He is rightly referred ad Father of the Nation.   Keeping your views in mind you'll have to agree the entire purpose of this thread has no meaning. Bapu was great so it doesn't matter what he ate or how he handled his Brahmcharya and the matter ends at this point. Do you agree with me?

Lopamudra wrote: @ Usha, I agree that a discussion does lead to all angles of the person concerned and the gen next is far more exposed to every type of information but when it comes to these great personalities their positives overshadow the negatives and that's the way it should be. We have read some kind of negative about all great personalities be it Gandhi ji, Nehru, Netaji Bose or even Rabindranath Tagore for that matter. They are world famous figures and respected worldwide . By bringing forward the negative points (which is mostly done by media and we ,the believers, carry it forward) we somehow taint the image of our own leaders not only in front of the youngsters but also for the people from other countries. I agree with your views , we all have some negative aspect in our personality and we cannot expect anyone to be perfect... As far as Gandhiji is concerned, the debate has always been there regarding some of his personal  issues which need not be the focus and in no way  does it  take away the greatness of his personality because what he did was selfless and in the best interest of the nation !

Such incidents were brought to the notice of one of the moderators by me. Such members are to be checked first.

Yet it is a positive sign that more and more people are becoming quite liberal in terms of girls' education and career. It is also heartening to see that it is happening in villages where people have begun to understand the importance of education...In my own rural school in higher classes , there are equal or more number of girls and in junior college there are more girls than boys. Girls also tend to do better in studies because they are more focused ..

It reminds me of one incident that happened in my life. Many years ago during my niece's marriage, I was given the job of getting the marriage invitation cards printed. Instead off going to printing press, I had purchased a bottle of gold color and a fine brush. Then I started wring the invitations sitting entire night. Believe it or not, my handwritten cards attracted more guests and all of them were talking about my hand written cards. And that's the charm in hand writing.

Kalyani Nandurkar wrote: Great things to do and learn indeed, there should also be certain things that even a boy needs learn before getting into the wedlock. Very true..Catholics have a very practical approach to marriage, once the boy and the girl and their families agree to proceed with the marriage the priest along with a couple of other prominent church members belonging to their parish gives them some guidance and counselling regarding various aspects of marriage..Parents too from both sides are called if necessary !
