Moon and XXVII Wives Picture Courtesy: Photo by Brittani Burns on Unsplash The concept of constellations in the Hindu religion is the most important and illustrative concept which explains a lot about other factors.  The Chandra (Moon) has 27 wives [27  Nakshatras (constellations)]. According to Hindu astrology & mythological references, Daksha Prajapati had created these 27 wives of the moon and are called daughters of Kashyap. The famous spiel says that the Moon was much biased towards Rohini (one out of 27 Nakshatras). She was his favorite wife & he spent a lot of time with her. That resulted in ignorance for the rest of them. Daksha Prajapati had lost his calm by this bias & hence cursed the Moon that he will slowly perish & lose all his splendour. Basically, in other words he'll lose the shine and glory that he radiates all the time. Moon got utterly shocked by this because that was the ultimate attribute for him.  Later on, Moon along with his wife ...

ABOVE AND UNBOUND: HIMANI

   “The family is one of nature's masterpieces.” – George Santayana. We totally agree to this and we also are agreeing to each and everything explained with much grace and beauty in this write up. Now we will peep into another point of view. What she had to say about family.  According to the internet, family is all the descendants of a common ancestor, but this line is not enough to define what exactly a family is. Everyone has their own view of family, and so do I. Family is not just the people you grow with but the people who support you in every phase of life no matter good or bad. You work hard and put in every effort you can to keep someone safe and happy, they mean the world to you, their smile motivates you to work harder and gives you a whole lot of satisfaction. We can be far in terms of distance but never from the heart, falling asleep well at night imagining in mind their faces with smiles, that’s what family is. It is not just the people with whom you have be...

Well moving out of the stream is the one thing that you can surely read in this write-up. Basically family is the crucial part besides that sometimes in the sense of becoming perfectionist they lose the league where children taught them what's actually meant to be true. Let's read the point of view of what a family should not do.    Generation gap does really exist. Thinking is different. When it comes to career or dreams, families should not give everything a child demands  and decide what their child will do when he/she will grow up.  a family should not run before giving their child everything as they can lose the shine of a diamond which they already have because of that their ward can be a spoilt brat. They should not guide each and everything on even small steps in their life and force their child to do as they say. Studies tell children only learn till age of twelve from their family. As per my analysis. Around me, the family who guide their children and ...
