No offence to any rules, my nation, my mother land and I am just saying. In ancient India, they say a par purush (another man) and par stri (another lady) should never be together. Further saying, they emphasis giving an example of Ghee and dried grass should not be kept together as that will result only in fire. I am sorry, but are all relations like that? I mean...? Today, there are many men and women interacting, do they all end up in fire? Yes, some do, leading to so much of complications, but how many are such? Looking around we can find so many people in beautiful relationships. And where, where, where is it? Fire, I mean. What I believe, is that, it was just a bunch of people giving in to their possessiveness. Thereby making it a rule. And....if I am being biased...then no...I respect all the rules made by our ancestors....but this? And no its not all about men, even woman. Also No.....I am not a girl who has any deep relation except for any men other than family. No best friend or any such cliché things, I have related to any boy or man. Never been close to the male gender. But I see, and that observing has helped me know that even a man and lady can have a beautiful, non-that type of bond. So....ya....that's all.....
