Heterogenious Locks

Note: Im bit bothered of being tagged wrongly for writing this post, however, I prioritize the freedom of expression to the fear of being notorious  .. :)



I just happened to view some beautiful snaps of a hindu marriage held in CA. The couple looked amazingly happy and contented. Dressed up in red and white saree and dupatta,  the bride was shining perfect. The chemistry of the couple was just amazing(at least in pictures).

The most peculiar thing about this marriage was the fact that the couple consisted of two females.. :)

OK it is a lesbian marriage, (as everyone calls it).
(Don't know what the women who are non lesbians but would like to spend their life with a female partner officially, have to be called as though!)

Wedlock choices of individual(s) have been sponsoring agitation in society for all obvious and non obvious reasons historically. This one for being an "un natural" wedlock.

The wikipedia statistics say that there is no anomaly/weakness(psychological/mental/physical/sexual) seen in the biological children of such couples. If that is the case, why so much of hatred for such wedlocks?

We should not forget the following balancing points which such wedlocks can bring to the society(specifically the asian society where sex ratio is crazily disturbed and poverty is in ample):

1. No hassles/long and depressing hunts for parents in search of a perfect groom if their daughter is ready to mingle with a girl.
2. No life long inferiority for ladki walas(both parties would be ladki walas.. :) )
3. Lesser chances of domestic voilence(both partners are equally strong emotionally and physically)
4. No party asks for dowry... !  .. .. yipieee!
5. Women who act more like males in households donot have to feel shy about their dominating/masculine tendencies if they partner with ladies.
6. It discourages the tendency of having children with DNA of both the parents. (lot of metropolitan couples spill money and spoil health to achieve this before they end up with traditional surrogacy)
7. Last, but not least, it also encourages adoption.

The only complaint I have with the above mentioned marriage is that the couple performed rituals while sitting on chair instead of sitting on the floor. In hindu tradition, while performing such major yajyas, the doers are supposed to sit at the same level as the level of fire bowl(hawan kund)...

Identity Crisis

There has been enough effort I have made to understand who I am. The human/other races I see living around me are all doing same things for centuries: Taking birth, growing up, settling down, reproducing, upbringing the progeny, enjoying the material pleasures, fighting senility and dying. This happens with everyone. But no one knows what happens after this. What happens to the identity we live the whole of our life with?

Reincarnation? ok... so what attribute(s) validate that the soul is same? what is the unique identifier? like we have a primary key in Databases(wrong analogy may be..!). How can we know who we actually are?

Soul of course, is what intelligentsia comes with as an answer.

So, how do we identify a soul? (may be the question is too physical to be asked in context of spiritual discussions).

Its a big and probably the second most urgent crisis envisaged by every conscious mind(first one being the ability to sustain life ... of course!). But ironically, little/no research is sponsored to find out the answer(poor people have no time left post spending the day on making both the ends meet and and rich ones prefer to spend their day demeaning/spying/threatening/showing off and taxing the former).

The consciously ignorant minds choose to concentrate on other things.

Bigger travesty shows up when it becomes very much apparent that ultimately, everyone's aim is to accumulate wealth beyond what (s)he can actually utilize within the scope of current incarnation(life is a single short epoc.. you see). That too, for a beneficiary who is not capable enough to sustain forever(i.e. their respective physical bodies).

investigation continues...
