Is a Single Woman Easy Prey to Love Affair

Love is a unique emotion that has been understood and written about by poets and writers. Even psychologists have added their own interpretations. Freud reduced it a hidden desire for sex. But despite this it is a phenomena that cannot be predicted when it will occur. But then it just happens, but it cannot be denied that there are occassions when a person is prone to these affairs. Love is an emotional need and I have seen that single women, spinsters and divorcees are more in the need of this emotional prop. hence the chance that these women will give themselves up to a man is that much more than a contented and happily married woman. This is one of the peculiarities of human emotion and it cannot be quantified. I have known of women emotionally broken been won over by men. Some of the men are emotional crooks whose sole aim is to bed the woman. Should such a man be faulted ? For sex is a human need. But the bottom line is that playing with the emotions of a shattered woman is bad. There have been many cases where men have slept with emotionally shattered women and then left them resulting in suicide by the woman. Perhaps social workers and psychologists may like a look at this aspect of a womans mental make up

The SEX CD and Abhishek Manu Singhvi

Abhishek Manu Singhvi is a prominent face of the Congress party. He is a MP as well chairman of the powerful standing committee on law and jusctice. In addition he is (now was) spokesperson of the Congress party. He is also a well known lawyer. For such a man an event has come to the fore with the discovery of a CD. This disc shows the famous man in a sexescapade with another lawyer.

There are insinuations that Manu had offered to make or recommend the lady for the position of a judge of the High Court. These are bad allegations and reflect poorly on Singhvi. Singhvi claims the CD is morphed. But a closer look at the CD which can be seen on U tube and thefact that there can be no reason to morph the CD shows that Manu Singhvi will have to come up with a more plausible reason.

 Frankly what Manu Singhvi does in his spare time in the office should be of no concern to anybody. But once an accusation of 'sex for promotion' is made the affair comes in the public domain. This is where Singhvi has faulted and deserves to be dumped in the waste paper basket. Even earlier his self rightous approach on TV as the Congress spokesperson was irritiating to say the least. Now we know that behind the facade was a hyena.

 The Congress has distanced itself from Singhvi, but perhaps that is not enough. The chairperson of the Congress party must take more stringent action, perhaps even expel him. It is important that the men and women who occupy important positions in the polity of the nation are made accountable. Too long has this drift continued.

Unrequited Love, Rekha-Amitabh

http://yield2me.com/-59055.htm

 Love they say is the noblest of sentiments in a man and a love between a man and a woman is the stuff of Shiva and Shakti so beautifully presented in the sculptors at Khujaharo. Now when we look back at the Mumbai film industry we are reminded of a love that blossomed between Amitabh Bachan and the siren Rekha

There was a time when both were inseparable and starred in film after film together giving the patrons hits and gossip. Yes, Gossip it was for Amitabh maintained a studious silence, even when the affair was hot and industry walas whispered in hushed tones about an eternal love going on.
 Both broke up and now we cannot pinpoint who the culprit was. Maybe marriage was the reason and one of them decided to act holier than the other.

But one can only see the uncomfortableness of Amitabh in the presence of Rekha to realize that something much, much more joined both of them. Rekha wore a Bindi and a mangal sutra then. Did they marry ? Perhaps not.
 Amitabh after the break up went through a traumatic phase. Illness and bankruptcy was his nemesis, before he rose up like the proverbial phoenix and like the angry young man re appeared again, but now he was much older and maybe wiser.

Rekha also had her share of ups and downs. She dieted, did yoga and faced the ravages of time with aplomb. But there is a studious silence from both about the affair. Amitabh would not like to talk about it and Rekha is too good a woman to throw mud. So we know there was an affair, but who broke it and why will never be known. Some loves are unrequited and doomed to heartbreak and failure; perhaps that was Rekha’s lot.

Sri Lanka Lose in the Finals, World Series Cricket

Sri Lanka have lost in the finals against Australia. However I will confess despite a comprehensive win in the second final, I always had a lurking feeling at the back of my mind, that Sri Lanka will lose and lose they did.  One can philosophize and say that victory and defeat is part of the game, yet I find that teams from the subcontinent i.e India, Pakistan and Lanka invariably fail outside the sub-continent in winning. at crucial junctures. There are odd victories, but they are just flashes in the pan.
 I do not wish to discuss the defeat, but highlight a basic trait in the sub-continent  of throwing the towel. I wonder if it has anything to do with the rule of the British over the sub-continent for 190 years. the British were good rulers, but the people of the sub-continent and Lanka accepted their rule without a whimper. This must be one of the dichotomies of world history where  350 million people allowed themselves to be governed by just a 100,000 Britishers.
This attitude of accepting the inevitable is an eastern trait. Maybe it has something to do with the doctrine of attributing everything to fate. Thus that extra effort required  to win and annihilate an opponent is just lacking in the Muslims, Hindus and Buddhists of the sub continent. I wonder if anybody has thought of the defeats in cricket overhttp://yield2me.com/-59055.htmseas with this thought in mind.

Gandhi, Bose and Nehru, The Clash

 Gandhi, Subhas Bose and Nehru are 3 towering figures of Indian poltics and the freedom movement. Out of these Bose and Gandhi represented two different strands of approach to freedom of India. The basic difference between Bose and Gandhi was ideology. Gandhi believed in the creed of non violence and Bose talked of revolution. Nehru without much of a base of his own sided with Gandhi and the anointed heir apparant. In late thirties Bose put forward his theory with vehemence. The net result was that it alarmed Gandhi and Nehru. The mass of Indian population also were galvanized by Bose's call for freedom at any price. This again was not to the liking of Gandhi and he saw his support base shrinking. Matters came to an head in the Lahore session of the Congress party in 1938. Gandhi went public in his opposition to Bose. Above all he opposed the candidature of Bose for the Presidentship of the Congress party. Gandhi in public speech made it clear that Bose must be defeated and his candidate Sitaramiah be elected. Both Gandhi and Nehru thought that in the election Bose would be defeated. The electon result shocked Gandhi. Nehru sulked at the result which brought out that Gandgi's nominee had been defeated by a wide margin. Gandhi's prestige took a nose dive, but he resolved to oust Bose. Gandhi now resorted to his favorite ruse non-cooperation. He refused to meet Bose and also did not meet him. He started a policy of noncooperation with Bose. At this time Subhas Bose wrote a long letter to Nehru requesting support to run the party. It is on record that Nehru ignored the letter and later sent a cursory reply, skirting all the issues raised by Bose. Thus a situation was created by Gandhi and Nehru, where Bose could not function as Congress Partu President. The situatoon was clear to Bose that Gandhi wanted him out of the party. Bose took the extteme step and resigned as Congress President. He parted ways with Gandhi. The exit of Bose was a relief to Gandhi and Nehru. The rest is hostory as Bose charted his seperate course of action and raised the Azad Hind Army to fight the British Raj.

Amrita Shergill, Nudes and Art

When I was younger, I did have some talent as a artist.In those days I painted a lot, but my father was vehemently opposed to any study of art and so I fell in line with him and achieved a conventional degree and carried on in life. Still two or three of my paintings remain as a reminder to what I could have accomplished. Anyway that is old hat now, but my interest in art did not diminish and recently I spent a considerable amount of time witnessing and studying the paintings of Amrita Shergill at the Museum at Delhi.
The paintings are absolutely stunning. The best part are some lovely nudes of herself which stand out in the collection. Who was Amrita Shergill ? Not many may be knowing that she was a Sikh girl who died young at the age of 28. Her short life span however is a beacon to modern Indian painters. Born in 1913 of a Hungarian mother and Sikh father in Hungary, she died of a mysterious illness at Lahore in 1941. I have reproduced one of her paintings to give a reader the visual of the type of painter she was.

 Nudity , beauty and women from centuries have gone hand in hand. However It must be understood hat nudism per se is not art. But again most of the greats in the field of art have painted nudes as a form of self expression.

Coming to Amrita Shergill, she was certainly a genius and achieved more than painters in a life time. Her paintings are raw and earthy and conform to the fact that a nude is Gods most wonderful creation. Her self portraits in the nude are there for posterity as a tribute to her skill and spirit. That is perhaps the reason the ancients in India and Greece painted and sculpted nude women. Lastly we must remember that a nude is a creative form of expression and perhaps an erotic woman's painting is the ultimate in creativity.

I feel sad that Amrita died so young.One wonders what she could have achieved in a life time, but then God has his own peculiar way of running the world.
