Friends

Sun directly hitting earth these days. At least Gujarat and Rajasthan are facing heat at its peak. Southern India is now witnessing monsoon and hence some relief from summer that side. It would take another 15-20 days before Monsoon arrives in Gujarat. Till then let us enjoy sun and heat. June is going to be full of activities for me due to lot of travelling. The month is planned for travelling to lot many locations in addition to the routine travel to Mumbai, Delhi and Chennai, new additions are to Bangalore, Tirupati, Rameshwaram, Madurai and Dubai. Let us see how is the experience of all these trips which are combination of Business and Family both.

"Marriages are fixed in heaven and executed on this earth" . And if these are executed in our country, it is for life long not like western countries, where it is like a Chinese product, . We, Indians, are blessed with a great culture where this is made possible despite lot of turbulence and challenges. Globally Indians were known and praised for this. It seems gradually, God is getting fed up with this responsibility and now delegating this power to we Indians. The repercussion of this is now being felt across the society. Large number of incidences are being witnessed of failing marriage even before it gets start. Tolerance, Greed, high expectation and copying of others is taking its toll on every thing be it health, family, finances, society etc. Now the longivity of marriage is more like a Chinese product which looks good in packing but worst in performance. Hundreds of cases are coming in knowledge of quick failure of marriage causing great pain to every one. Internet and Mobile phones are adding fuel to fire and thus the result is Catastrophic. we as society members should do something to save our children from this pathetic situation. We should collectively think to save this social fabric otherwise soon Indian society would become extinct.
