“Father and Daughter – A Short Story on Binding” - Professor M.S.Rao



“Affection is responsible for nine-tenths of whatever solid and durable happiness there is in our lives.” - C. S. Lewis


Recently I watched the film Doom 3 in which the climax scene between two Aamir Khans was truly amazing where both brothers died together at the end by holding hands together. Then I recalled a story that I read a long ago on binding between a father and his daughter. Here goes the story which you may love it too to read it to know the difference between ‘you hold my hand’ and ‘I hold your hand’.

Father and daughter were crossing the river. The tides were rough and they had to cross the river. Father told his daughter to hold his hand so that she might not slip and fall down. But the daughter asked her father to hold her hand to prevent her from slipping. Father did not understand the difference between the two as he felt that it was more or less same. But he enquired her daughter why he had to hold her hand. Then the daughter replied, “If I hold your hand I may leave it seeing your suffering in holding my hand.  In contrast, if you hold my hand however the suffering you may undergo to carry me, you will never leave my hand until your end.”  Father appreciated the intelligence and the confidence she had on him.  In our real lives also, we will never let down the people who we love the most. We handhold them until our end.

“Sunanda Pushkar and Shashi Tharoor Episode – A Woman can Make a Man Stumble and Tumble!” - Professor M.S.Rao



“The heart is a strange beast and not ruled by logic.” ― Maria V. Snyder, Touch of Power


Shashi Tharoor and Sunanda Pushkar’s marriage cost the life of Sunanda who loved Shashi from the core of her heart. Shashi was an amazing personality with a philosophical mindset and mesmerizing voice. But the destiny took the other way with the advent of another woman, Mehr Tarar – a single mother and a Pakistan journalist. Sunanda could not digest the entry of another woman - Mehr Tarar and suspected an affair between her and Shashi. Sunanda was possessive about Sashi. She must have felt insecure with the entry of Mehr Tarar and was worried that she might lose Shashi to her. Finally, she took the extreme step of ending her life.

It seems that it is a case of failed communication and taking things for granted. If Sunanda suspected that Sashi had an alleged affair with Mehr Tarar she should have clarified with Shashi about his stand. Shashi too should have taken initiative to clarify his stand to Sunanda. Probably Shashi took Sunanda for granted. He never that Sunanda would take extreme step to end her life.  Another aspect to note here is that when people have pre-conceived notions the realities don’t go to their heads. They enter into an imaginative world with lots of insecurities. Then emotions come to the fore and managing emotions is a highly challenging issue for human beings.

There are a number of lessons to learn from Sunanda and Sashi episode. A woman can often become enemy for another woman. Don’t take woman for granted. Communicate clearly when you feel that there is an issue. Men in public places must take precautions about their personal lives to avoid getting noticed by media for wrong reasons.  Check your emotions and ensure that emotions don’t overtake the realities.  Committing suicide is not only a crime but also a sin as the person is kicking God’s gift of life. Life is full of challenges. Learn to live fully. Above all, a woman can make a man stumble and tumble!

“Is Platonic Love a Forbidden Love?” - Professor M.S.Rao



“Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.” - Leo Buscaglia


Many people don’t understand the real meaning of ‘platonic love’. It is a love between two persons without involving sex. It has been named after famous philosopher - Plato. It is quite common among friends irrespective of the gender. In this relationship, people express their emotions and feelings to others in a friendly manner. It is more aggressive in opposite gender as there is a tendency to get attracted to opposite sex. It is based on cultural factors, and is often misunderstood by the society. For instance, a student may have platonic relationship with teacher and vice versa.  Also, a married woman who does not have sons may often interact with young boys, and a married man who doesn’t have daughters often talk to young girls to fill the vacuum.

Platonic love may also be possible when a woman develops attraction towards another man and talks when she doesn’t get the adequate attention she needed from her husband. So is the case of man who does not get attention from his wife but looks somewhere else to fill the vacuum. In both cases, sexual element is not involved.

Platonic love is not a romantic love. In romantic love, people may resort to sex while it is not so in platonic love.  In platonic love, a person loves another person not because of physical attraction but because of non-physical attributes such as intelligence or special characteristics which are intangible and beyond the face of another person Here goes the story of a beautiful young girl with an old philosopher:

A young girl wanted to have sex with an aged philosopher so as to conceive a child with his brain resembling her beauty. But the philosopher replied, “What happens if the child is born with your brain and my beauty.”  In fact, the philosopher was not good looking but had a great sense of humor. The young woman wanted to have a romantic relationship but the philosopher ended it with platonic relationship through his sense of humor.  To conclude, platonic love is not a forbidden love. It is an accepted love that happens in regular lives among the people but they are not acquainted with this term.


“There is no feeling more comforting and consoling than knowing you are right next to the one you love.” - Kay Knudsen
