Difficult to agree to the suggestion by Ketan abt reducing restrictions on Narcotic drugs . Those drugs are addictive and if availabale freely definitely the number of addicts will increaseArun.N.M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11255908292437790693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4785607060280258591.post-34720941340519934642009-07-31T07:08:44.447-07:002009-07-31T07:08:44.447-07:00i didn't know about this until a friend from d...i didn't know about this until a friend from delhi said that , in bombay interaction among both sexes as a kid is far too free! i think we are just normal - as it should be ! yea, but i don't like my peers who are boys who hit you with the ball so hard that one has to him back !! sometime even fist fights happen in terraces ( we have no playgrounds ) that if an elder is around will have to come and stop !Anroshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16723150055204555588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4785607060280258591.post-28084467372982232572009-07-29T22:31:32.622-07:002009-07-29T22:31:32.622-07:00Linked your post to mine in response to your comme...Linked your post to mine in response to your comment :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4785607060280258591.post-1650712903867991942009-07-29T17:14:53.720-07:002009-07-29T17:14:53.720-07:00Linked this post to mine in response to your quest...Linked this post to mine in response to your question :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4785607060280258591.post-44832715446664799922009-07-29T11:07:39.025-07:002009-07-29T11:07:39.025-07:00I believe in guiding without suffocating or contro...I believe in guiding without suffocating or controlling. I agree with your observation that the more we try to protect by controlling the more there is a chance of the child being caught in a situation where there is no a chance of (unintended perhaps)rebellion. I think it is better to teach our children to be self reliant in every sense of the word. Give them roots and give them wings, and let them fly :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4785607060280258591.post-28321184031873723432009-07-29T07:06:15.196-07:002009-07-29T07:06:15.196-07:00Hi!

Yes, what we get exposed to day-in-and-day-out, we take for granted.<br /><br />The fact that excessive restraint in matters of interaction between two genders hasn't 'helped' is also proven by high rates of HIV-transmission and exponential population growth rate.<br /><br />Actually, the same concept also applies to narcotic drugs. It's been speculated by some that if ban on sale and production of narcotics is lifted, then, their production as well as sale would become totally bereft of any incentive for profit as the prices would drop down, and effectively, the consumption would also decrease. The vast majority of people refrain from 'doing' drugs more out of fear and harmful consequences rather than because of (artificial) unavailability. Coincidentally, my freshest post--a longish story, partly deals with parental interference in choice of life partner of their children.<br /><br />The mutual hatred/contempt that the two genders hold for each other is partly because of lack of exposure (to the other), but also because of a certain kind of 'groupism' instinct at play. Males would want to feel superior to females--and one of the ways to do that is have contempt for them, which requires stereotyping. Same also holds true for females holding males in contempt.<br /><br />A thought-provoking post! Well written!<br /><br />Take care.Ketanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02622410643454108685noreply@blogger.com
