Spreading of HIV AIDS: Be Cautious!

priyankabhowmick @priyankabhowmick (39) • India 17 Nov 09

Recently I received an email in my inbox, a woman in a cinema hall just went over in her sit. As she sat she felt something pinching at her back. As she stood up and looked in her sit she found a needle along with a note written,...

Sarandipity Emails like this one should not be taken seriously. They are obviously spam. I think it would have been more fitting if you'd asked whether others have received these emails and what they think about it.

Which do you prefer?

cmnavarro @cmnavarro (251) • Philippines 9 Nov 09

Nowadays, many people opt to buy e-books than to buy a 'real' book... Because of our busy schedules we no longer have the time to seat down and read a good book while having a cup of coffee/tea... Some people on the other...

Sarandipity I have an e-book out and another on the way -- my first novel, and I myself do read e-books but prefer a real book any day with the smell of paper - especially old books - and the whole sensory experience. As far as audio books go though, there may be a better...

Does your dog like coffee?

HenrySwan @HenrySwan (27) • United States 9 Nov 09

Our little Yorkie loves coffee. If we sit it on the coffee table she will stare at it, and if we ignore her or don't give her enough, she will nudge our arms with her nose.

Sarandipity Your dog sounds really very cute. I love dogs -- have 4 of them. They like tea, but not so much as to nudge me for it. And every time I eat chocolate they get all drooly and excited. Too bad chocolate is poisonous for dogs!

Can a person really forget? In the sense of erasing the incident from our memory

manong05 @manong05 (5027) • Philippines 8 Nov 09

It is commonly said that once we forgive we also have to forget. But is this possible? I don't believe that the hurt done to us can be erased that easily from our memory banks although we have forgiven the person who hurt...

Sarandipity Forgiving takes some effort. But it's easy when we realise that those who hurt us are our best friends because they help us grow spiritually. They are to be appreciated because they prompt us to look within ourselves and ask why we are facing the situation....

What's your view on parenting today?

dloveli @dloveli (4366) • United States 8 Nov 09

When I was growing up I had to behave. That meant when we went into public I was to stand beside my parents and that was that. As I got older, I had to be home by 8:30 everynight. Even the night before I graduated high school. As...

Sarandipity You're right, parenting AND kids are no longer have the same values. I have seen small kids about 7 - 11 years of age being really rude to their parents and even hitting them. And the parents say nothing to them! I was amazed. I suppose it's a different era...

Sarandipity Yes I'm sure I'll be in heaven because of the spiritual path I follow where the Third Eye, the Gate of Atman (Soul) is opened by the Holy Teacher. When you die, the soul will leave from this right door and go straight to heaven. But that does not mean I will...

Sarandipity I'm glad you're looking after your cat so well. I too have a very sick pet and I'm treating her, but one thing I'd never do is put a pet to sleep. We have no right to end any life. They have their own karma to resolve and by killing them we will interrupt that...

Sarandipity I'd focus on the honeymoon. A wedding is just a few hours but a honeymoon can last for days and it's the time couples spend together in the most beautiful place they can find. Funny story -- I know a woman who got married to a man she was only half in love...

Sarandipity If a guy -- husband or boyfriend, hits you, you may be sure that he will do it again. If it happened to me, I would call in the cops and definitely call it a day. In India most women are conditioned to believe that it's all right for a husband to hit them once...
