luck

Is there something called luck.

Why do certain times things absolutely go wrong.

You expect somebody to stand by you, you expect your family to understand you and support you and apparently everybody turns back and nobody at all really helps.

Does it mean I shouldn't even expect anything or they are breaking my trust, or is it just purely my own bad luck?

Answerable

Lot of things sometimes come to my mind and I just don't know how to express them.

I heard somewhere, a quote, that your true identity is how you behave when you are alone/all by yourself. I think it meant , how do you use your freedom.

When there is nobody to question us..we are not answerable to anyone...parents miles away...this gives a lot of freedom. But how do you utilize that freedom?Aren't we answerable to ourselves though?

There are all kinds of people in the world, who have different kinds of problems. The moment we criticize someone , the first reaction is to abuse the person who does that..well..I don't intend to claim that I am perfect, I am trying to figure out what makes people cheat their spouses, lie to their partners, flirt around ,look out for adventures.
Doesn't their heart tell that they are cheating their respective spouse/girl friend/boy friend?

Some relationships are purely based on trust. There are certain things that your spouse/partner absolutely needs to know. That doesn't mean you are being "answerable". If you think so, that means you don't even understand the relationship at all. Why are these people so fickle at the first place?

Anyways..another thing which I was thinking is about the people who are bound in an unhappy relationship . Their plight is pitiable but what if they are indulging in soliciting a virtual affair with somebody who is already in a relationship? How fair is that? This person already got his/her life screwed up and contributing to another couple's relationship fail.
Don't they ever introspect themselves? Don't they have a heart to which they are accountable and answerable to?

People who knowingly make a crime/bad karma/cheat others can't really get away. Can they? If not them,someone dear to them in the family will surely suffer in some way or the other,due to their bad karma. I am sure there is a cosmic karma bank which will keep track of our good and bad karmas and affect us .

Miles across

Lot of people criticize NRI's for leaving the motherland, parents and living in a far country.

What is bothering me? All I was doing was just walking on the road and bunch of thoughts in my mind.
There is hardly anyone who walks on the road here. How do parents spend time here? None of us are going to be home for the most part of the day except the weekends.
Well what do they do even in India. They see people. There is always someone or the other who visit right from the morning..right from paperboy, milkman, maid and so many others. If we walk on the road, there is always someone who knows us , atleast within the colony.

What are we achieving staying all away from everybody?
This is the age where parents have to relax. They did so much for bringing us up.
Our Indian way of bringing up makes life of parents ,totally dedicated to kids. They never have their own personal life. It always revolves around the kids. And what are we doing?

Personally I have several reasons why I like to stay here in the US but what about parents, grandparents?
Is there a solution where everybody can be happy?
Is there a solution shorten the distances?
