Polygamy still exits.But the way Mr.Ziona chana has a record of 39 wifes and 94 children is really unimaginable.But it's true Mr. Chana is 66 year's old man and lives in north east with 39 wife,94 children and 33 grand children in a four storied building with 100 rooms in a mountainous village in Mizoram,sharing borders with myanmar and Bangladesh.Once he married 10 women in one year.He believes in Polygamy and even today he is ready to expand his family and willing to go to any extent to marry.
Mr. Chana heads a local christian religious sect,called "Chana" which allows Polygamy.Formed in June 1942,tis sect believes that it will soon be ruling the world with the christ.It has membership of about 400 families.
This truth raises a big question.How this is so in 21st century.Is this not a wonder.

LOVE
"Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossoms had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two."

GOOD BEGINNING
The way Peace process begins may not always determine how it will end.
But a good beginning can go a long way in creating the right and necessary conditions for the success of the initiative.

VALENTINE'S DAY
Valentine's Day celebration is a recent phenomenon in India but has caught the fancy of people to a great extent. Though some see it as a western import and hesitate to celebrate, there exist a large and growing number of those who love the feeling behind the beautiful and romantic festival. Especially to the Indian youth February 14 signifies love - a day when people express their affection for others. Just as several other countries, people in India too celebrate the Valentine's Day by exchanging cards and gifts
VALENTINE
Valentines Day Valentine's Day Beating Heart is February 14.
There are different ideas as to where or how the celebration of Sweethearts celebrating Valentine's Day Valentine's Day began.
The Roman's celebrated a festival called Lupercalia on February 15. This festival was held to ward off the danger of wolves to their flocks and honored their God Lupercalia. This is one idea. The Christian Church had two Saints named Valentine and two other ideas center around them. The Roman Emperor, Claudius the II forbade young men to marry in 200 A.D. He believed single men made better soldiers, free of family concerns. A priest named Valentine disobeyed the Emperor and married couples in secret. The next Saint Valentine was a lover of children but, was imprisoned when he would not honor other gods. The children missed him and wrote messages of affection to him. They threw their notes through the bars of his cell. This may have been the beginning of exchanging messages. He was executed on February 14, 269 A.D. Pope Gelasius in 496 A.D. named February 14th, Valentine's Day, after him. The fourth idea concerning the celebration of Valentine's Day is based on the belief that birds or fowl pick their mates on February 14th. It was believed love birds in particular, chose this day to begin mating.
The modern day celebration of Valentine's Day Woman With Valentine seems to have begun in France and England. On Valentines Eve young people would gather and pick names becoming a valentine to whose ever name they chose.

CORRUPTION
Corruption in India is endemic and taking A.Raja to task will be
of little utility unless this problem is addressed.
Political funding is the root of corruption in our country.
Political activity calls for financing.These finances are mobilised,
for the most part, through corruption and mobilisers loot the exchequer,
sell state patronage and use state power to extort money.All of which entails
corruption.This must come to an end.This is where the real effort must be
made.
