try this 😃

To tell u the truth, even I don't like crowded temples with 48 hours queue and tickets for darshan. that's why I don't try to go to Tirupati. I am against commercialisation of darshan.

I believe in Lord Balaji...but I don't need to go to Tirupati for that.

I prefer a small temple playing a sweet Hanuman chalisa in a corner, the visitors ringing the bell, the smell of camphor...gives peace of mind...

asto di...i am quite confused about my religious believes,parents belong to different religions and no one forced theirs upon us..ive infact had my old name completely english, second completely indian, people relate it to converting, but i just did that to get that indian element in my name😊
i said i like a worship place since i can sit there hearing bells,prayers, for hours,without the need of having a book infront of you..you know i mentioned of some volunteering work too,can't be done in a library.

Congrats again PP !! Will definitely support you :)

Packing is the most boring work 😛 .. mujhe mauka mile toh jo dikha bag mein daalke apne camera bag ko leke chali jaaun bas ... Ranbir's character in yjhd reminds me so much of myself 😆 ... Tbe main reason i wanna go to Dharamshala is to click loads and loads of pics .. 😃 .. next week will be going to Hyd. With my cousin .. bas eh 1-2 hafthe freedom then got to get serious and take some decisions 😛

You know I just bunked 2-3 interviews kyunki mann nahi kiya .. i'm indeed a synonym for confusion 😆

tried coming here via iPad. but it froze.

Dad? Pops? Father? Why so many names for the same person?

Sunday is called Father's Day, but many of us refer to our male parents as Dad or Papa rather than by the more formal "father." Why does English have so many names for the same person? And where do they all come from?

Like the names for our female parents, "papa" and its many variations were primarily imitative of the first sounds that young children make – the p, b and ah sound. Throughout the Middle East and South Asia, fathers are called "baba," which sounds a lot like papa. In fact papa, baba, and father are related to the Sanskrit word pitr.

"Dad" was recorded in the 1500s but probably was used by children for a long period before that. The formal "father" was spelled "fader" until as recently as the late 1500s. "Pops" is the most recent linguistic twist on affectionate names for our dads. It arose in America in the 1830s.

Father's Day started in Spokane, Washington in 1910. It did not become an official holiday in the United States until 1972. It is always celebrated on the third Sunday in June.

What do you call your dad?

Yeah.. for sure you wouldn't find the bells..camphor and prayer in library...

but when it comes to me.. i am not really interested in that scent... i love the scent of books.. and pin drop silence... 😊 wow.. my only aim in life ... is to make a huge library of my own... and live in that world ... though a room yet the knowledge of whole world... 😊

and volunteering also doesn't happen in temples... i am totally anti when it comes to donating to temples or at temples... at the end of day.. people like me.. end up eating that free food..just because i am lazy to cook at home...

Faith is a personal thing

one should avoid discussing it in public if one wants to avoid argumenet

😆

Also its up to an individual to seek or stumble upon his or her spirituality\\

Its also up yo a person to refrain from seeking it

We aren't discussing faith... we are discussing a place where we find peace...and work in which we get peace 😃
