Once upon a time, long long ago, God when looked down on earth saw that humans were sadly unhappy. He decided to give a solution to this problem. He made a beautiful pitcher and filled it with water. This water was not any ordinary water but with divine value. It had healing power to save the unhappy souls. It had the medicinal power unchallenged by any other medication in the world and with a taste and feel so soothing that it relaxed even the most tired soul.
God placed this pitcher on earth and felt happy that He has finally solved the problem of the mankind. The pitcher stayed there on earth. Many humans passed by it looked at it with curiosity. Some got astonished with its beauty some even thought of drinking the water in it. Some were really thirsty but just stood there, curious. Nobody wanted to take a risk and drink the water which was so divine. It was so mysteriously beautiful that humans were scared to even touch it.
So the pitcher stayed there for days, months untouched. As days passed by, all kind of vegetation grew all over the pitcher. Leaves from the trees fell inside the water. Mosquitoes infested in the stagnant water. Slowly, the water started to stink much to the dismay of the people who passed by. Dangerous creatures started to breed and the once beautiful pitcher turned into an ugly dump. Suddenly people became aware of the presence of the pitcher and they all decided to throw it out. So very soon, the pitcher once filled with pious water was thrown away in the community waste dump.
Moral of the story: Figure that out by yourself. :)
Even the most beautiful feeling LOVE can turn into poison if it is not given a proper vent and is forcefully stored inside.

Infidelity
Infidelity
Writing about this topic itself is quite controversial. Seriously, what is the big deal about this word?
In the technical world, fidelity purely means output by input. So if your output performance is not as much as what input one is giving in then the fidelity of the process is low. However, in our world we have totally changed the definition of fidelity / infidelity and have made it to our convenience.
A human being in a relation is called infidel only when he / she has relations with another human being, which has more importance than the present one. We make a big deal about this particular phenomenon. There is a whole set of bolywood and even holywood movies and songs dedicated to infidelity. In fact generally women are targeted more in these songs or movies.
When I see such a hue and cry about this whole thing, it really makes me wonder how do we really understand what is infidelity? Why do we confine infidelity to only human beings? Like for example, I have seen men giving so much importance to things that are of trivial importance and women too giving undue importance to vanity even at the cost of their relations with their loved ones. Isn’t that called infidelity?
Isn’t it infidelity when your sweetheart cries her eyes out and urges you to spend some time with her when all you are thinking in your mind is when is she going to be in good mood so that you can go and enjoy your favorite sport? Isn’t it infidelity when a man desperately wants to be with his wife when all she thinks about how much more stuff she needs to buy for that grand party she is going to go next week? Why is it that it becomes of paramount importance only when it involves another human being?
I really don’t understand when and where do we draw a line.
