A Story of Unconditional Love






This story is about a girl..

With all her heart, she was deeply in love with a boy...

It was raining heavily, she was waiting for him to come… She waited for hours but didn’t complained.. She was smiling, she was very sure that he will come. 

She checked her mobile but there was no message or any missed call. Even then she didn’t felt bad, she smiled and assured her own that there might be some problem..
She waited.. 

Hours later, her mobile beeped, it was a message from him. It took all her happiness with it.. He dumped her with a message, 
“It’s not the same anymore, I don’t feel the same as I used to do earlier, better we don’t see each other anymore.. MOVE ON!!!!”

Her heart chocked, her breath became happy.. She never thought of it but it happened.. He ditched her for no reason.. He left her alone.. He left her crying..

It was raining, outside as well as inside her heart !!! 

She couldn’t believe.. She did nothing wrong.. Then Why?? 

She didn’t complained, she accepted the bitter truth… 

All the day, she stayed at her bed, neglecting food and neglecting her.. Her friends tried everything to cheer her up but they failed.. She cried… Cried until her tears dried… 

She didn’t say any word to anyone.. She just cried…

Same thing happened for days… for months… 

She gave up, she broke.. She wasn’t in a state to handle her emotions anymore…

With a rose in her left hand and a blade in her right, she slit her left wrist as deep as she could.. Her bed which were full of tears until now became red.. 
She killed herself.. She died, wishing to be with him in the next birth.. Wishing to be with the same boy who ditched her.. Wishing to be with the same guy who broke her heart, and in a way who killed her… 

She misunderstood him, Truth was something else....

He had everything in his life.. If money was not everything, then definitely he was the richest of all.. He had a beautiful girl who loved him unconditionally.. He asked nothing more to god..

It was the Saturday evening.. He was lying in his bed talking with his lady love.. Suddenly he coughed, he disconnected the call and got up.. What he witness was hard to believe for him.. It was blood.. Everytime he coughed, it was only the blood which came out and filled his hand..

Without wasting any time, he went to the hospital.. Doctor took a sample of his blood for further medical check-up.. Somewhere deep inside, he had fear; a fear of going away from his love.. Keeping his finger crossed he waited for the final report.. He called her and they decided to meet in a CCD tomorrow..

It was 9pm, doctor gave the final report and that made all his world dark.. It showed he had Cancer, a Cancer which is non-curable and he has only a couple of months with him.. He never had any bad habits, he never smoked, he never took any Alcohol, then why him??? 

He cursed god for giving him something which he have never dreamed of..

Life betrayed him.. It gave him the worst possible thing a man could ever get, it gave him Death..

It was Sunday.. His love was waiting for him in the CCD. It began to rain.. It rained heavily.. He never wanted to be the reason of sadness for her, so he decided to break-up.. He decided to end that relationship which meant everything to him.. He texted her, “It’s not the same anymore, I don’t feel the same as I used to do earlier, better we don’t see each other anymore.. MOVE ON!!!!”

That was the last time he talked with her.. She didn’t complained, she accepted the fact.. He was happy, he was sure that she will forget him in some days and would happily live her life.. 

The Moon was the only Witness of their unconditional love as he hugged his death with a smile...
She was in love.

GIRL : A BOON or DISGRACE








" If You Cant Care & Love Her; 

             You Don't Deserve Her "







It’s being said that we live in 21stcentury where modernization from the western countries is very much adapted by the Indians. We consider ourselves no less than those living in U.S or U.K

In this present era, Women are considered as equals to Men. In many fields we have also seen, that Women are surpassing and outclassing their counterparts.
But this is only what we see, the truth is very much different, especially in India. 
Women were never considered equal to Men, neither in the 19th century, nor in the 20thand not even now (except in some fields).

We all are different in nature and so do we have different opinions. Now I will justify my opinions on this, which will be agreed by many (hope so).

Female Foeticide and Infanticide:



Both, Foeticide and Infanticide are similar type of offence, former is done pre-birth and the latter happens post-birth.

Female Foeticide means aborting a foetus(baby inside a mother’s womb) only because it is a female. This is a major social problem which is still being prevailing in many parts of India; especially in the states of Punjab, Haryana, U.P, Gujarat, Bihar and other North-Indian states.

Pre-Sex determination is regarded as a serious crime but still many do so to check whether the baby going to born in future is a male or female. If it’s being a female, they are killed inside the mother’s womb by certain medical procedures which are totally illegal.

Female Infanticide is a post-birth measure where the baby is killed if it’s a female. Many a times it happens without the approval of the mother.

We say we are living in a modern era, we have to maintain an image, a personality so that we will be respected but such things still being prevailing in different parts.

Men are being considered equal to a Woman but a case of Male-Foeticide or Male-Infanticide has never been heard until now.

 Dowry System:



Dowry system or Dahej(in hindi) system means payment of gifts or cash to bridegroom (or to his family). It includes, cash, jewellery, electrical appliances, furniture and other household items.

It is generally seen, once a baby girl is born in a family, her father tries to save a surplus amount of money for his daughter’s marriage not because he is happy doing it but because he is bound to do it.

Dowry is an evil crime, not only accepting is a crime but even giving is also considered as crime and both are treated equal.

In India, about 20,000 cases of Dowry are being registered every year. And if the offering from the bride’s family doesn’t meet with the groom family’s demand then the girl faces a lot difficulty in her marriage life.

Its only a female who gets torture (killed or being burnt alive) but such things never happens with a male… And we say, Women are treated equally to Men.

Dowry and Foeticide are interlinked with each other. The only reason why the baby girls are killed is, their parents think them as burden or if they are financially poor.


                        "Be A Man, Say No To Dowry !!! "


 Domestic Violence:

These problems have became quite less in recent days but still the saas-bahus problem is prevailing in some family.

A husband should take care of his wife. I am not saying to ignore your mother completely while doing so but remember that you have responsibility for your wife too.

If your Mother is upset by something your wife said, she should speak about it to your wife directly, and they should clear it out amongst themselves.

If she still wants you to know about it, let her speak to you in front of your wife and not behind her back. Do not react until you have given your wife a chance to present her side of the story.

Never, ever fight with your wife in front of your mother. It will only double her hurt. If you feel your wife was harsh with your mother for whatever reason, speak to her about it in private, and keep an open mind to listen to her point of view.

Some Words For All:

  • Those who think accepting Dowry is a crime should also know that even giving Dowry is a crime. One can give whatever he/she wants to to her daughter but that should not be being pressurized by the groom’s family.
  • If a Groom is a real man, he should oppose any kind of Dowry. Get married only if you can meet her and your own family’s demand by your own and not with the money of in-laws.
  • If you are a Father than why do you need to give Dowry?? You are blessed with a god gifted angel and you should feel proud of it and say no to Dowry.
  • Giving Dowry is quite similar to selling your own daughter to a selfish man (can be stated as DOG here) that don’t even deserve a beautiful angel like your Daughter.
  • Speak to your wife as a friend, without blaming her. She has come to you leaving her home behind holding your hand.
  • Remember, your wife is not a goddess or a saint. Yes, she does have flaws. But it wont be fair to say that your mother is correct and fair everytime. Take decisions after listening to both of them and try to get in their shoes before accusing any.

Diwali - The Festival of Lights





Many of us still assume that this auspicious Diwali is celebrated because in this day, Prabhu ShriRam killed Ravan and returned back to his home, Ayodha. 

This is true but there are many more things which we need to know :

Diwali (also called as Divali, Deepavali or the "Festival of lights") is a five-day Hindu Festival

The name "Diwali" or "Divali" is a contraction of Deepavali ("row of lamps"). 

Diwali involves the lighting of small clay lamps filled with oil to signify the triumph of good over evil. These lamps are kept on during the night and one's house is cleaned, both done in order to make the goddess Lakhsmi feel welcome.

Fire-Crackers are burst because it is believed that it drives away Evil-Spirits. During Diwali, all the celebrants wear new clothes and share sweets and snacks with family members and friends.

The festival starts with Dhanteras on which most Indian business communities begin their financial year.



The second day of the festival is called the Naraka Chaturdasi. 



Amavasya,the third day of Diwali, marks the worship of Lakshmi the goddess of wealth. 

The fourth day of Diwali is known as Kartika Shudda Padyami




The fifth day is referred to as Yama Dvitiya, and on this day sisters invite their brothers to their homes.




For Jains, Diwali marks the attainment of moksha or nirvana by Mahavira in 527 BC.

For Sikhs, Diwali is particularly important because it celebrates the release from prison of the sixth guru, Guru Hargobind, and 52 other princes with him, in 1619.
Arya Samajists celebrate this day as Death Anniversary of Swami Dayanand Saraswati. They also celebrate this day as Shardiya Nav-Shasyeshti.

For Hindus, Diwali is one of the most important festivals of the year and is celebrated in families by performing traditional activities together in their homes.

While Diwali is popularly known as the "festival of lights", the most significant spiritual meaning behind it is "the awareness of the inner light".

It is believed that there is something beyond the physical body and mind which is pure, infinite, and eternal, called the Atman

The celebration of Diwali as the "victory of good over evil", refers to the light of higher knowledge dispelling all ignorance, the ignorance that masks one's true nature, not as the body, but as the unchanging 

While the story behind Diwali and the manner of celebration varies from region to region (festive fireworks, worship, lights, sharing of sweets), the essence is the same – to rejoice in the Inner Light (Atman) or the underlying Reality of all things (Brahman).
