The Balancing Act that Every Man should know for a Happy and Successful Marriage

Married women always grumble that there is not much of remarkable changes occurring in the life of a married man in comparison to his bachelorhood. Whereas there are lots of changes such as social, cultural, professional, physiological and psychological happening in the case of a married woman compared to her spinsterhood.

But married women often do not understand the subliminal mental strain of balancing act that a married man has to play between his loving mother and romantic wife. If it is not at perfect equilibrium, there could be 'sparks' from both the sides, especially when he lives with his wife along with his parents in the same home. Some powerful 'spark' on either side, could be catastrophic even to bring about a break-off either to his biological relation or to married life.

Marriage - a campaign to be continued to woo the other half always

I have heard of friends and peer group sarcastically sharing the joke of them annulling the marathon calls, chatting, chit chats, outings, shopping, and romantic moments, that they used to have before with their life partner, once the wedding is formally officiated. They say the campaign is won (wedding is over) and no more wooing is required.

During election campaigns the political parties come up with lofty promises to woo the electorate, but after winning the election, that is the end of it. But marriage is not like a political campaign, which could be annulled after winning it. There is an everyday wooing required for the successful culmination of each day of the married life lived. 

If woman's bodily discharge - Menstruation is impurity so is man's Wet Dream

God in His Supreme Creation fashioned everything so we can't say something is bad and other is good. Scripture says, so God created mankind in His own image, in the image of God He created them; male and female He created them. Then, how come one gender's bodily discharge alone is considered impure.

What is the criterion for this test of purity?  Both genders: woman and man are

If your wife is her Father's Beti.......

It is generally believed that there is a special chemistry between father-daughter duo like the mother-son bond. The man who is her everything from childhood is her father and her childhood had been revolving around him. In return, a father has special affinity towards his daughter, as she has to be so delicately handled and taken care of than a son.

Some fathers influence, inspire, pamper, take care and love their daughter so much so, that no other man in her life could catch up to that even by half its extent. She is so 'badly' loved by the father that no one else in this world, in the present and future, could love and care for her as much as he does. Thus, he sets a a standard so high that no one else would surpass.

It would be better for them to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around their neck.....

In connection with the controversial land deal involving the Ernakulam-Angamaly archdiocese, in which the Church allegedly suffered a huge financial loss, a group of hostile priests accused the Syro-Malabar Church head Cardinal George Alencherry, who is also the Archbishop of the Ernakulam-Angamaly Archdiocese, for selling the prime land of the archdiocese for below the standard market price. A handful of priests were trying to defame the Syro-Malabar Church which has over 55 lakhs followers and 35 dioceses.

A paradigm shift in leveraging technology for spiritual experience

The Internet of things, which is all about connecting physical objects to the world of web, is creating ripples of change in society, at large. In recent times, IoT has had the power to make a perceptible difference to our lives, at both- personal and professional levels.  Of late, IoT is setting up a new trend and even helping our spiritual practices to have an ardent God experience.

Promotional preparations far ahead than religious preparations for Christmas

While I was walking through the Broadway in Ernakulam on December 01, 2017, seeing the Christmas sales promotions, I whispered in my mind, “Oh Christmas is around the corner.” No Church could trigger that thought as well as emotion in my mind. While passing St. Francis of Assisi Cathedral, Ernakulam, and St. Mary's Cathedral Basilica on my way to Broadway there was no Christmas star seen in front of both the churches to indicate that Christmas is around the corner, whereas shop fronts are filled with stars and Christmas decorations.

Passion for tele serial made 75-year old grandmother internet savvy

Of late, the life of Kerala women is revolving around tele serials that is being telecasted on prime time - 7PM to 9PM, from Monday to Saturday. They would wrap up all their domestic works, finish the bath and would be there ready in front of the television set at sharp 7PM.

From 7PM to 9PM, men in the family wouldn't have any voice for TV remote control, as women take control of it. Sometimes, telecast related issues, hiccups in the cable connection or interrupted power supply prevent the women from watching their favourite tele serials. In this technological era women find alternative ways to enjoy their regular tele serials despite these impediments. 

Aren't we all "Technologically Challeged"?

We keep seeing many people in and around us who are either physically, mentally or intellectually challenged. Seeing them we are moved with sympathy and some empathy, and we all feel that God has created us fit in all respect. Majority of these disabilities are by birth and a few of them are due to accidents or side effects of medical treatment.

The definition of a challenged person is someone having a physical or mental problem that makes it difficult to do daily things as easily as other people do. If this is the definition of challenged, we all are Technologically Challenged, since without the aid of technology we are unable to do anything in our life.

Are our teachers updated as much as Educational Apps?

Technology has not left any sphere untouched by its influence, the same is true with the educational sector. Perhaps, it is the sector that has witnessed so much of technological intervention in terms of providing effective learning tools for the students, thus, making the process of learning so much easy and effective.

Apps like Byju's Learning App, the leader in providing the most innovative, interactive and visually appealing educational content, cater to the learning needs of the new generation students, who are tech-savvy. When educational tools based on technology are actively promoted, the question is how much our teachers are updated in terms of innovation and novelty, to match with these new generation learning apps.
