Adopt one..


Dear readers,

As a child I always wanted to adopt a child. It is not that I am against own child birth but in the country like mine where population has exploded. Orphans are treated like insects.

Don't you think it is more reasonable to adopt one and give him/ her a life of their dream than producing more. These orphan don't have big dreams, they just want a family who love them. Is it that difficult ? Well all children are same no matter if it is yours or adopted. They cry, smile, learn, want love, care and affection, make you laugh and smile with their silly questions and acts. Then why not adopt?

While thinking about this issue I got some of the advantage of adoption:

1. No labor pain - couldn't help but I really admire my mother who went under so much pain to get this pain of life time.
2. Enjoy life more - well when you are pregnant, you have to let go almost 5 years of your life starting from pregnancy till your child go to school. If you adopt, this time duration can reduce to some years depending upon the age of the child you adopt.
3. Don't feel depressed - God forbids, but if they have some hereditry disease you don't have to feel bad that it was because of your genes that they have it too..
4. Save Money - All that money you invest while pregnancy, delivery after child birth medicines and if you are not able to conceive - medical test, medicines, procedures to concieve, etc. You can save all that by just adopting.

I could think of more but then I realized the greatest advantage.... one contrary people who are against adoption says that it is different when it is your own. True biggets discrimination of all. Childrens are like angel no matter from where they come, they only become devil after certain age. It is in your hand to make them or break them.

Finally all I want to say is that-----Adopt one before you have one.

Friendship Day and me



My life is full of precious diamonds who make me feel like Princess. On this special day I want to thank all my friends to support me in good and bad times.

The tradition of celebrating Friendship Day has been in existence since a very long time. Humans have been friends ever since civilization came into existence. As a social animal, a human being needs companionship and friendship. So, the celebration of an occasion specially meant for friendship is really special.

In the year 1935 the United States Congress announced the first Sunday of August as the National Friendship Day. From then on everyone celebrates Friendship's Day with much enthusiasm and joy.

Though till last few decades, this celebration was popular with people of western countries. It is only with the phase of globalization that people in the other parts of the world came to know about this wonderful celebration. It is estimated that this is one of the most commercially benefiting occasions for the gift and card galleries as millions of gifts, cards and chocolates are bought on this occasion throughout the world. Once started as a small event, this occasion has become as grand as a festival.
