I have a friend who was so depress since her parents decided for herself. In some point, she cannot bend the traditions and influence by their culture, particularly in getting married to someone they don't love. As if there is no...

GADHISUNU Freedom to love anyone? No,even in our culture marriage is highly influenced by parental preferences. It is not forced though, that one must marry only so and so. But the 'community' ties are so strong that one is given some narrow choices. I do not know how...

I was very young when I read The Art of Readable Writing by Rudolf Flesch. He had a formula to measure how good or readable your writing really is. He can tell by analyzing the words in your writing if some high school...

GADHISUNU I don't think such measures indicate anything about the "understandability" of the message being conveyed. It must surely be talking about reading ease thereby "implying" some kind of understyandability as the measure has a bearing on the attention holding...

This is to evaluate yourself whom do you love the most and why? If this will be the case, what will you do for the remaining time you have? How will you spend this with someone you love?

GADHISUNU No, it is not a place. It is a state of mind. More precisely it is a state of mindless-ness. Our minds bind us to whatever we see as the world. I would cut asunder this bondage, is what I said.

GADHISUNU A philosopher need not necessarily believe in God, just as every scientist need not necessarily be a philosopher too. Some scientists are. I have only one question to ask of Dr.S. Hawking who is an Athiest-Scientist. "Because there is a Law of Gravity the...

I have noticed someone, he always takes picture of himself all the time. He loves to see himself in the pictures. Though it is irritating sometimes. That person will always boast about his physical attributes, not waiting someone...

GADHISUNU It shows a deep seated fear complex if not anything else. Just look at the people whose physical attributes are something to be awed. They will be the most insecure people...for they always live under the fear that their best will be bettered by someone else...

GADHISUNU I would be really very nice to meet up old friends from our school esp. those with whom we shared interests. May be if the interests have changed, it may be due to the way life has turned different for them. But it is possible that they still nurture those...

GADHISUNU NO. There was perhaps only one book which I purchased and after reading a few pages about 40 pp in an around-500-page book, I simply stopped reading the book. I felt like throwing the book into a dustbin-I have never felt so irreverent about any book ever! But...
