Unwanted Guests

Courtesy: NavinHarish.Org
In Sanskrit there is a saying as per Indian tradition, "Atithi Devo Bhava", meaning 'Guest is God'. Indians have an obligation to treat their guests with the best they have, whether they can or not. Does this imply that guests can ask for anything that they may want from the host?

With the changing times and traditions, people now-a-days feel not too happy when somebody visits unwantedly without prior information. With the fast paced life that we live and the busy schedules that everyone has, its hard to tend to guests without preparation.


There was a time when people did not have to worry about everything that came along. They were limited to their own family and filling its need. But in the current times when a person does not even own a house, has hardships just even to feed stomachs and buy medicines for the elderly and sick, its hard to take out time to tend guests. A man who does not own a house, plans on saving money to buy land and build his own house in the next 10 years. In the meantime he has to take care of his parents, fulfill his siblings need, and also has to worry about his job.

With the prices going sky-high its hard even to complete one's education, find job and on top of that if a guest comes and plans on staying with you for even a week, You are bound to get worried.

With that said, it's also the responsibility of the guest to consider the host's situation and financial capability to spend on and accommodate an extra person. Guest must keep in mind that if they have to visit, they must not make plans on staying for too long and obviously should not plan an event which the host might not be comfortable with spending on. The guest should not interfere with the hosts privacy and also should not be the kind that they feel you don't exist at all. Most of all, being a guest you should not ask the host questions of their personal matters, for example, job and salary, about the baby to a newly wed couple, or such matters that they may become uncomfortable wit you.


This is to everyone, Do not be a unwanted Guest, inform prior to the visit, be happy and understanding for your hosts and best would be to not stay for long at their place.

Tere Yaadon Ki Woh Raat...

make money online Aaj aasma me chand nai, taaron ne bhi aaj humse berukhi dikhai hai. Dil me tera chehra roshan hai, aaj raat teri hi chandani chhayi hai. Aaj aawaz bhi nahi hai sunane ko teri, aaj sirf teri yaad se shaam bitai hai. Sochta hu tujhe mai itna k aaj tere khyalo me neend bhi na aayi hai. Likhna chahta hu kuch tere baare me, isiliye aaj hath me kalam uthai hai. Zehan me teri baaten to hain, par shabdo ne apni majboori jatai hai. Arz karu bhi to kaise karu tune dil me kitni mohabbat jagai hai.////////////////////

Number 0 - Numerology

In Numerology the number 0 is often not used, though I consider it to be one of the most valuable numbers in numerology as it enhances any other number that appears with (before, or after). It can be thought of as a two dimensional spiral of divine force representing both female and male qualities. The number zero is represented by the Moon and vibrationally by eternity and the sound of the OM. From this sound (or vibration) all other numbers came. Inside of the circle (representing our universe) you can think of all other things existing. If you think of this circle as enclosing all physical space in the universe you will see that it contains all of the other elements of the universe inside of it (earth, water, fire, air, and the ether itself).
