A Girl's Limits

Hello my fellow readers, i wanted to share something i came across while watching Ramayan aired on Zee tv. In the episode where Raavan comes to take captive of Sita i learned something and i thought that i should share it with you guys. i m sure that most of you are familiar with Ramayan. There is a part in the Ramayan where while on their 14 years of exile in the forest one fine day Sita sees a golden deer and asks Raama to catch it for her. Despite Lakshman's warning that it could be the shape shifting demon, Marich Raam still goes in the forest to hunt down the deer. As suspected when Raam shoots the deer with hi arrow the deer changes into the demon Marich and calls out to Lakshman and Sita for help disguising as Raam. A worried Sita compels Lakshman to go in search of her husband Raam. Before leaving, Lakshman draws a circle around their hut and requests Sita to not step out of the line no matter what happens until he is back with his brother.  As Lakshaman leaves Raavan, the king of Lanka who has been watching this whole scene behind a tree disguises himself in the form of a saint and seeks alms from Sita. When Sita goes in to bring food for the "saint" he tries to enter the line that Lakshaman drew in order to protect Sita, but unfortunately something stops him from entering he line. When Sita returns back with the food he forces her to come outside the line and give him the alms. When Sita refuses he threatens her to curse her husband. Fearing this, Sita walksout of the barrier and Raavan takes his real form and grabs hold of her arm. As Sita tries to walk back into the line Raavan grabs her even harder and tells her "O, Sita you know well enough that when  lady crosses her limits there's no way she can get back in it!" and he abducts her to Lanka.

This is what i would like to point out to my fellow girls, before you do something always think before you react because you are not only responsible for your own dignity you are also carrying your parents pride at the same time also your in-laws and husbands dignity. Once you cross your limits it's no way back.

The actual reason behind why u should not sit on pillows...

I am sure all of us would have got a good scolding from our parents or elders' at home if we ever sat on pillows.. when asked Why, they'll often say "You'll get a boil on your butt!" The actual reason behind it is, sitting on pillows especially those we put under our head wen we sleep it is believed that your debts will increase. If you look at it scientifically and logically the rear part of our body is considered unhygienic so imagine the amount of germs that will be on your pillow wen you sit on it.

Pradosham

Etymology of Pradosha - Pradosha is the son of Kalpa and Dosha. He had two brothers namely Nishita and Vyustha. The three names mean beginning, middle and end of night.

During every month and during every Paksha, the point of time when Triyodashi (13th day of the fortnight) meets the end of Dwadasi (12th day of fortnight) is called Pradosha. During Pradosha, Nandi (the sacred bull of Shiva) in all the Shiva temples in South India is worshipped. The festival idol of Shiva with Parvathi in a seated pose on Nandi is taken as a procession in the temple complex. The Story of Pradosham Once upon a time the angels ( Indra and his subordinates) were cursed that their colour would change and they would become demons. therefore they ran to seek refuge from Lord Vishnu. Lord Vishnu asked them to churn the milk ocean...
