๐ณ ... ๐ญ Gosh darned "backspace" button... sent me back a page and now I have to remember what I'd written ๐
Surely not the greatest practice, technological advance in medicine could have given us. A child is the greatest gift of God and as humans, we do not have the right to terminate a living being. Couples need to be really sure on about when and how they want a child in their life, rather than resorting to the practice in question as a corrective action to their casual conjugal life. Yes, it does come in handy to resolve some problems like teen-pregnancy etc, but one blunder cannot be a solution to another blunder.๐
I agree to an extent. I don't think abortion should be used as a convenient, after-thought means of contraception. I would give consideration to the option of abortion in two cases...if the woman was raped, and if (thanks to advancement in medical technologies) it was discovered that the baby would be born with life-threatening problems or other severe complications. I can't imagine it would be a very happy life to live in and out of hospitals, always on medication and in pain. It certainly can't be easy on the child and I can't imagine it being any easier on the parents.
Is there any religous restriction in Hinduism that doesn't allow a woman to abort?
2. Given the opportunity to be in charge of the entire Indian political system for x-amount of time, what would you do? Again, rather broad... Take your spin on it ๐
Do I look like the politician type to you? ๐๐
Just curious as to your point of view ๐
Anyways, the first thing I guess I will do is abolish the multi-party system in India. The country is already divided enough, and these mean politicians are exploiting the divide to further fragment it every single day. Thinking of a more radical approach, may be engage a governance body by nominating common people from different strata and different professions of the society like doctors, engineers, farmers, teachers etc and let them decide what works best to clean up the mess all around.
I can appreciate your first action. Politicians exploit the natural, and often benign, divides that exist in society and twist them for their own gain. As for the second action that you propose..it seems idealistic. But the inherent problem of corruption still exists. The structure of our government has been such that politicians exploit for personal gain. It would take some very strong personalities with firm convictions from our society to accomplish such a task. And then too keep in mind that greed does not discriminate.
How would be go about solving that particular problem? ๐
Am sorry if this sounds too impractical ๐ณโ but I guess its too big an issue to come up with a solution just like that
Not at all didi. This issue is not one that can be tackled and solved overnight. I was just curious about your thoughts ๐
1. Do you wish to have children some day? If so, how many?
Yes - one baby girl should be great๐
How sweet ๐
2. What is the craziest thing you've ever done? ๐
๐ค I remember going on a hunger strike for 3 days, when date for sister's wedding was fixed like a week before my 6th sem exams I soon found out that hunger-strike or fasts was not really my cuppa tea. I had to spend a couple of days in the Institute hospital following that๐ญ
๐ You hear about such legendary stories from your grandparents or see something like this in movies...lekin didi aapne to RL me kar dikhaya ๐ I admire your conviction and strength in that situation ๐ค How did the exams go ๐
3. Have you ever pulled a prank on someone? If so, what was your last prank? ๐ ๐
You know what - Jaya in RL is a little too introvert and shy to do that๐
I know exactly what you mean. CW Simi is more of a shaitaan than RL Simi would ever have the courage to be. Though that's chaning .. ๐ I'm trying to be more out-going at the very least ๐
4. Did you ever wish your name was something other than Jaya?
I like my name and wont want to change it๐. However, there are 2 other names that I am really fond of๐ณ. I mentioned one on this thread somewhere 'Mishti'. The other name that is close to my heart is 'Smriti' ๐
Mishti is a very "sweet" name ๐ Would that be a nickname or her given name? I like Jaya as well. There is strength in the name ๐
๐ณ I am glad you like Simi. There was a point in time when I didn't like my own name because the gorus here couldn't pronounce it. It took me sometime to grow used to and accept my name. And now I love it... the background of "Smriti" is beautiful and holds a lot of meaning in my life, so I can't imagine being anyone but Smriti ๐ณ
5. If you could pick a spouse from the Bollywood industry for AB jr, who would you pick and why? (We all know AR is a bad choice! ๐)
Rani Mukherjee - Only Bubli goes with this Bunty๐ณ, I think they have a great chemistry; and Rani is lot more like the Bachchans, reserved and shielded. And anyway, history has shown that Bengali brides are good for the Bachchans๐๐ผ
No arguments from me! ๐
6. If you could ask Jaya Bachchanji 5 questions, what would they be?
a. What has been the lowest point of your marriage, and how did you manage to come out victorious over the circumstances?
b. Rumours go that Abhimaan is a reflection of your and Mr. Bachchan's real life. Your take on it.
c. Have you ever repented taking this long sabbatical from acting when you were at the peak of your career? Why or why not?
d. If you had to pick up a date for Mr. Bachchan, whom would you pick and why? Who would be your choice for your daughter-in-law?
e. Is there a character (fiction or any other movie) that you always wanted to play?
Great questions...and I'm sure we're all eager to hear answers to these questions as well ๐
7. What is your favorite planet?
Earth๐ (What answer were u expecting?๐)
Aise hi pucha... I used to have a soft spot for Pluto since it was an often ignored planet (add to that I played the part of "Pluto" in some strange school play ๐). Lekin ab to Pluto ko planet bhi nahi maana jaata hai ... ๐ So Earth it is! ๐
8. When was the last time you had the urge to cry without reason? When members here mistook me for a marriage counselor๐ญ
I feel your pain.. I'm often mistaken for the Romance Advisor in RL
9. When was the last time you had the urge to laugh without reason? Now - as I read this ๐
๐ It makes me happy that I had a part in making you smile and laugh ๐ค
10. Which member of IF last came to mind during a RL experience? Care to share why...?
Again, take your time. ๐
