I did not want a company to sponsor my trip- one of the readers suggested it and I've replied in my comment that I'm not comfortable with it. Pls refer to the concerned post if required and clarify where do you find double standards.<BR/><BR/>I didn't give any verdict on drinking or tried to enforce my opinion- just posted few questions that came to my mind and let readers respond with what they

You are free to delete my comment, it is your blog after all. The words I used are not offensive at all and refer to facts of life, after all I ref to the oldest profession in the world in that comment. When a person has to sell his/her morals, it is not a sin just because that is something we would not do. <BR/> You wanted a company to sponsor your Himalayan trip even though you

MS,<BR/><BR/>Good comment.<BR/><BR/>But I need you to resubmit your comment replacing certain words like w**** , p*********** I'll be deleting the comment after sometime because of these inappropriate words.

Hi Srinidhi,<BR/><BR/>Good post. I had the similar feelings as you about the alcohol. I have seen many celebrating parties only with the alcohol. They say "The real party can only be with alcohol". Some say, "Ahh.. Come on yaar..!! You have try every thing in life".<BR/><BR/>I always had a question in my mind, "Party can only be celebrated with alcohol or what ?". However, I just don't believe in

@Shrinidhi,<BR/>I totally agree with you. I have never understood why people like to drink, and think that those who drink should also know when to stop

I fully support Srinidhi! I don't appreciate drinking much and as you said - people do retort back with questions like "what is wrong in it?" but i really don't like the idea of NOT being in you control after eating or drinking something ? I would like to say "What is right in drinking ?". <BR/>But if at all anybody wants to drink then they should be in control of their habit and do not lose it

Had seen the post yesterday itself. Didn't want to leave behind a long comment on your post as usual.<BR/><BR/>Was busy enough yesterday, not to write a post. Here are my thoughts.

Mohan,<BR/>I feel it is difficult to make himself or his parents understand- if you try to explain this kid, he is likely to retaliate insisting its none of your business. If you tell his parents that he was found drinking, they’ll first beat him till he bleeds, without explaining the concerns. Such a beating will only make him more determined to consume more alcohol secretly<BR/><BR/>My

I strongly support, Srinidhi.<BR/><BR/>As most people would get offended by 'moral policing', I guess its gone one level up, where people are getting offended by 'morality'! I had a bad experience where one college kid (with two of his girl friends) was smoking sitting right next to me in a restaurant. I complained to the waiter and he said that I offered me another seat! The funny thing is that

Hi Srinidhi,<BR/>How are you?<BR/>It's been some time since i commented on your posts. This topic has been very close to my heart. I am the only male member in my family who does not smoke nor ever smoked. In fact, i even went to the extent of opposing my own members as far as to preach that if you want to smoke, smoke outside the house but not in front of women or children for they know not

First of all there is no direct link between drinking and beating wives. It happens in villages because of their lack of education and economic conditions.<BR/>There is something called responsible drinking, where you ensure that you getting drunk will not affect anyone else. If it affects anyone else other than you then its bad. Best example is drunken driving.<BR/>There are rules of the land

I don't know if I would call it good or bad - but I would defiantly call it stupid. Drinking alcohol has no practical gain - and it comes with a lot of potential problems..<BR/><BR/>Would I criticize the boy? No - its none of my business.

I certainly wouldn't want to blame this kid. It is not his fault in my view. The kind of environment in which he has grown up must have influenced him. All I can say is guide him and his parents/guardians through some counseling on how to be a better citizen.<BR/><BR/>Also, it would be a wrong assumption to say when he grows up, he would beat his wife and starve his kids. All it requires is one
