if you are lonely when you are alone, you are in bad company.
---by sartre
mind unfettered by rules could recreate the world.
--sartre
we can choose to abandon ourselves passively to the prevailing state of affairs,conform to status-quo-thus reducing ourselves to a mere object among objects or we can choose to transcend what is given,by projecting ourselves authentically towards a new horizon of possibility.
we are what we make of ourselves.

i used to think like that,i still do, but as i'm under strong influence of my husband,i get a bit confused. being different leads to maladjustment.
mo(my husband) impresses upon me that being ordinary is perfectly normal. at least normal people donot suffer from depression or neurosism.it's good to follow the society's commands and live with your head held high.moreover you are happy. and happiness is what we all want. i'm glad he is there to keep my sanity intact, taking his word i'v tried to live like ordinary people and quite enjoyed it.still something in me keep revolting,i love to make my own rules and live life on my own terms,it's so suffocating to act like dumbs,having no free will.
it does not mean that i 'm toatally antisocial,i believe in truth, goodness and love for all.a person who follows these principles cannot be a threat to the society, but there are some very personal choices which should not be dictated by the society.a man without a personal viewpoint,and ideology cannot help society progress.

You left a comment on my blog and I wanted to come and say hello. Now I know who it is in India that reads my blog. I have a stat counter that tells me the countries people come from and you were a mystery.
I'll be back to read some more and nice to meet you.
I like that first quote quite a bit.
welcome,deb,and thanks
though u will not find much here,'cos i'm still not sure whether i should be talking about my personal life in my blog.i'm much of a reader than writer.
nice knowing u.
hello lara,welcome. i think u are the lalakme girl. it was the first blog that i read and liked.i was so relieved to know that in countries like canada or us,too there are women who take pride in bringing up children and housekeeping.can u explain what is meant by the term SAHM.
congrats to u on joel's success. love to ur kids.
SAHM is short for stay at home mom. It is a woman who does not work outside the home. There are many women in Canada and the US who stay at home with their children.
When my children were small my husband and I took turns taking caring of them. I worked on his days off and when he was working, I took care of the children. I enjoyed taking care of my children but I enjoy working as a nurse as well.
I hope you write more, I am always interested to see how women in different cultures live and how they feel about themselves and their lives. I am a curious woman by nature.
oh i see,silly me.could'nt make it out.deb,feel free to ask anything i'd like to explain anything u want to know about india.as for myself,i was married into a joint family,i.e. we lived with my husband's father and three younger brothers.as my mother-in-law had passed away,it was considered proper that my husband gets married(he was twenty five) and subsequently the bride fills in the gap left by his late mom.(take care of kitchen).ours was a love-marriage,(most marriages are arranged by parents)his family was a bit apprehensive about me 'cos i was pursuing my postgraduate degree and obviously wasn't perfect choice to handle household.anyway we got married,there was no question of my working so i transformed my self into a home maker.my father-in-law had to teach me everything,at my parent's place i8 was the youngest so i had to learn a lot.like doing dishes ,washing clothes,cooking and so on. anyhow i managed it,we get very cheap domestic helps here,so i only had to do the cooking in that too , papaji was always there to help cos he stayed home.but now times have changed no girl wants to stay home, no boy wants a housewife.but i have no regrets,it was a novel experience living in a large family nd all.i'll keep elaborating if u so desire,feel free to ask anything.bye.
