This Dignity and Respect for the woman and relation was there, is there and will always be there, but keeping in view the changing times, our society and changing financial syatem has changed the value of the Woman. Now the women is being used as tool in the Marketing of services and products. <BR><BR>For all this not only this society but as individual, every body is responsible.  I donot appreciate this change. Most of the Telecalling staff are women, the clear reason is this that most of the people listen or like to talk to women and a big number of jobs are available to women and women has to do these jobs. Whether woman like or not she has to do this job. Further the women beloging to the age group from 18 to 25 are engaged in these jobs and they are not matured to handle the people and they are dealing or talking to strangers and strangeres are always strangers. Further in the showrooms and even in the institutes the women are used to attract customers for their establishments.  In the greed to get maximum sale and profits, most of the business establishments are using women, not as worker, but as a tool, it si wrong  to say that they are using the women and their glamour to attract the customer and to increase the sale. You can have the exaple of Trade Fair the stall if more crowdy where there is glamourous woman and the other stalls are empty. What has happened to our society and women? Why women are behaving like this? Are women misusing their independence or men are misusing women's indepence? <BR><BR>But this is a subject of deep thought, for everybody.<BR><BR>In olden days the woman was used to compare with Godesses and now they have become a usable thing, that too at a cheap price. Which is very shameful.<BR><BR>I donot think that there is any need to tell the importance of woman, as everybody is a son of Daughter or Son. Nobody has appeared on this earth without mother, who is basically a woman.<BR><BR>Who is infact responsible for this change?<BR><BR>1. We all (Society)<BR>2. Woman herself<BR>3. Men<BR>4. Money / Wealth<BR>5. Greed<BR>6. Gegradation of Moral Values of Society<BR>7. Women Independence<BR>8. All of above<BR><BR>The face of the woman has changed.<BR><BR>THINK, THINK AND DO.<BR><BR><BR>THANKS TO THE VISITORS / READERS.<BR><BR></FONT></FONT>]]></description><pubDate>Mon, 21 May 2007 11:37:12 +0530</pubDate><link>http://ravinderadvo.rediffiland.com/blogs/2007/05/21/WOMEN.html</link></item><item><title>EVERYTHING HAS ITS OWN VALUE AND IMPORTANCE</title><description><![CDATA[<P align=center><FONT size=5><FONT color=#ff0080><FONT size=6><STRONG>EVERYTHING HAS ITS OWN VALUE &amp; IMPORTANCE<BR><BR></STRONG></FONT>To realize the value ONE MONTH: ask a mother who gave birth to a premature baby.<BR><BR>To realize the value of ONE WEEK: ask the editor of weekly newspaper.<BR><BR>To realize the value of ONE HOUR: ask the lover waiting for their love.<BR><BR>To realize the value of ONE MINUTE: ask a person who missed the train.<BR><BR>To realize the value of ONE SECOND: asjk a person who just avioded an accident.<BR><BR>EVERYTHING ITS OWN VALUE, BUT IT IS TIME.<BR><BR>SO DON.T WASTE.</FONT></FONT></P>]]></description><pubDate>Mon, 14 May 2007 14:56:00 +0530</pubDate><link>http://ravinderadvo.rediffiland.com/blogs/2007/05/14/EVERYTHING-HAS-ITS-OWN-VALUE-AND.html</link></item><item><title>Kour of the year and Singh of the year</title><description><![CDATA[<FONT color=#000080 face="Century Gothic" size=5>The "MR.

After years of spiritual frustration she has finally found her religion. <BR><BR></FONT><FONT size=5>"ARTICLE BY VICTORIA SHERIFF FROM SWANSEA</FONT>"<BR><BR><FONT color=#0000ff>"I had been frustrated for many years. I couln't find a religion! Chrishtianity didn't have belief in reincarnation, but Buddhism didn't have a belief in God. I believed in such a mishmash of things I didn't think it would be possible to find a religion to follow.<BR><BR>I remember thinking I'd have to set up Vicky-ism! Then at the end of my first year of university, when I was 18, I picked up a book on Sikhism and was hooked. I don't think I've ever read an "academic' book so quickly.<BR><BR>Sikhism was everything I'd ever believed. Sikhism teaches about one God, visible through everything in the World. It teaches about the total equlity between all men and women. It teaches that God can be found through all religions, not just Sikhism. It even teaches my beliefs about life after death. According to Sikhism, if you have kept God in your hearts throughout your life you will go to heaven. If you have not you are reincarnated to have another chance.<BR><BR>I had always believed in reincarnation for as long as I could remember. What I couldn't understand though is how, when my Grandpa. died, I knew that he had gone to heaven. Sikhism explianed it for me. Yes, Grandpa wasn't sikh. he was Christian, but I know he kept God in his heart, and that was enough to grant him access to heaven.<BR><BR>By the time I had finished that book (TEACH YOURSELF SIKHISM BY OWEN COLE [1994]) I knew that I was a Sikh.<BR><BR>But being a Sikh is very difficult. Sikhism developed in the Punjab in India about 50 years ago, and as a Western convert, not from a Punjabi Culture, I face many problems.<BR><BR>For example, the main text, The Gur Granth Sahib, is of utmost importance in Sikhism and is only available in Punjabi. (There couple of English Tranaslations are available but they are very expensive and not very god!).<BR><BR>This means that I could go to a Gurudwara but I would have no idea what is going on. I wouldn't be able to understand the service because I don't speak Punjabi. I have great diffculty with languages (I can't even speak Welsh) and I don't think I could ever fully appreciate the words if they were not in my own language.<BR><BR>To learn Punjabi would almost go against the Sikh teaching, as Guru Nanak taught in Punjabi, rather than Sanskrit, because he believed religion should be in the language of heart. I want to worship in English, but Sikhism doesnot accommodate this.<BR><BR>I wonder if my task in life is to bring about change, and bring Sikhism into the English Language. I hope that I will learn Punjabi after university and even help bring about an acceptable English Translation of the Guru Granth Sahib.<BR><BR>I may have found my religion, but my frustration remains, as I don't feel I can fully participate in it. I love my family, and I love living here in Wales, but I wish that I didn't have to be Punjabi family to fully appreciate the sikh religion. I want to me me, Welsh and Sikh.<BR><BR></FONT>(News from Sikhnet.com)<BR><BR><BR></P></FONT><br><img src="http://ri.rediffiland.com/homepimages/home5/623/af3a29dd3cb461d410c4a98df87bb2ae/homep/images/1173428467">]]></description><pubDate>Fri, 09 Mar 2007 13:49:22 +0530</pubDate><link>http://ravinderadvo.rediffiland.com/blogs/2007/03/09/SIKHISM.html</link></item></channel></rss>
