Hi Srini S. Welcome aboard.
In my earlier blogs I had mentioned about my neighbour not allowing his daughter to marry a muslim boy from next door. This had been going on for the past 5 or 6 years. The girl has not yet got married to anyone. Instead she has turned hysterical, screaming, banging doors, etc.
It was too much for the other family members to bear. Ultimately and reluctantly they put up their flat for sale. They wanted to perhaps erase their daughter's unpleasant memories by moving away from here.
Just the day before, they told us they were about to leave the place anytime soon. They moved out today in the early hours when all of us were in deep sleep. It was so sad. Three generations had stayed here from the past 52 years and I could see how difficult and painful such a decision was for the entire family just because of their daughter.
In my heart of hearts I wished the girl does not come to any harm, being far away from this place.
Can only wish and pray.
Maha.

TV Remote and Control
How does a TV remote connect with control?
From very long time I have been observing families watching TV together.
There are many channels on offer and each one loves to watch his choice of channel. But they all get to watch only a certain channel at certain times of the day or night.
You can easily guess who's in control if you see who holds the remote in hand. He gets to control what others will see!
That was in the past. Now are days when all houses have 2 TV sets and our house is no exception to this phenomenon.
We both (husband and I)enjoy music competitions like Super Singer 3 on Vijay TV, the Japanese channel NHK is beyond compare in program quality and topics covered like nature, food, Japanese architecture, travel, inventions, business ideas, etc. The KBC, a Korean channel which used to air serials like 'Emperor of the Sea' and a very popular serial 'Flowers Over Boys' which kept us spell bound for story content and visuals and then there were true stories about life of immigrants, food, travel, etc. both these were hanked out unceremoniously not so long time back by Sun Direct. It was not so easy not to watch these two channels for sheer content alone and so full of knowledge about so many things of interest. These two channels never aired advertisements in between.
But my aged mother loves to watch her favorite serials on Sun TV at the same time. So we had to buy another set with a dedicated set top box so that she can watch what she likes.
There will come a time when there will be as many TV sets in a house as there are members just so that all of them can have total control over their TV remote!
