Ask Soniya

How do you treat someone who recently got fractured or injured or burnt? That's right....with utmost care and right kind of medical help. Physical injuries like this are much easier to notice while it's not true for injuries our soul has. We live in a society where we feel so connected yet so disconnected.  The social networking sites makes you believe that everyone on your friend list is available to you....at least if they are ONLINE. However the truth is out.... the very moment you actually need someone to hug or cuddle. They say the world is on their palms while they cannot touch anything with their finger tip except their screens. People are more lonely, more depressed and more unhappy in real and it becomes hard to recognize a person with depression.  This person can be anyone....your partner, parent, child, colleague, neighbor or a close friend.  The person you hang out with every week...the person who passes a smile to you in office every single day....the person ...

We have been married from last 10 years and like any other marriage we have sustained through lows and highs of this institution. As they say opposite attracts, my husband was exactly opposite of what I was. These differences looked cute, in the beginning, not really cute in the middle and ended in 'why are you like this?'

 I am not really political types though I keep an eye on what's happening around me. With social media on your finger tips...you don't really have to take the pain of typing and opening a current affairs page. It's like a river of all the latest updates in and around the world which is flowing right through your sitting area....thanks to the idiot box and media houses.  Before I continue, you must know that I don't support any particular party.  Thankfully my parents educated me enough that I can see and judge situations for myself. Plus I come from a farmers family and I am proud of that. I didn't make a data base research while writing this article but the facts are so simple and realistic that any person with dumbest brain can calculate the risks of having a wrong person in power.  Do you know how many farmers commit suicide in India? Just google it....I did....and got this result and I was not really shocked. The so called govt. Stopped collecting data of dead f...
