MY WIFE TOLD ME TO MARRY AGAIN !!!

When you ask a man who you love the most or who is very important to you, he will say outwardly that it is his mother but inwardly it is his wife. For many, the wife is the most wonderful person on earth. Recently, a friend of mine inquired about my wife as to how my sweet 16 is whereas she is actually my sweet 69.

Nowadays, I find my wife indifferent. She is not in her usual self. I find her busy helping the daughter-in-law with the domestic chores, playing all the time with the granddaughter, and talking to her son. She is not attending to me as before. When I pointed out this, you know what she said? Ridiculous. SHE ASKED ME TO MARRY AGAIN if I am unhappy.

I never expected this rebuttal. The woman has her own way of reprimanding the man. The poor fellow can do nothing. The human mind is a devil's paradise. If something bad has entered, it goes on brooding over it until a solution is found. I am no exception. I also started thinking if I am eligible now to marry again at 72? What a shame !! My status will nosedive.

People will mock me. I will become a scapegoat. What do other family members, brothers and sisters, their spouses,  children, grandchildren, friends and above all my son-in-law and daughter-in-law will think about me? I swear,  I do not have any such crooked idea but my mind does not keep quiet. My wife has stirred the hornets' nest.

I asked her who will come forward to marry me at this age? She said I am handsome and smart, hale and healthy, intelligent, without any ailments, without any vices and above all well propertied. I wonder if she knows more about me than I know. Lord Hanuman knew his strength only after another told him about it.

My crooked mind keeps wandering. It started justifying the wrong as right. Lord Rama showed in one avatar how one should be devoted to one's wife and should not think about another woman. The same Lord has shown in another avatar, Krishna, how a person should be able to manage two wives. After all, I am going to do it in one birth.

After all deliberations, I was helpless. I have the habit of consulting my wife when I am in a dilemma. I just wanted to show this piece of writing to her to find out how she reacts. As usual, she read this slowly and steadily, smiled gorgeously, squeezed my neck, and winked at me passionately as if we are lovers. I have understood. I am clean bowled neck and crop. I shall marry her again.

REPEAT POST.

COUGHING DURING NIGHT.

You cough more when lying down because gravity no longer helps drain mucus and stomach acid, causing them to pool in the throat, triggering irritation and the cough reflex, common with issues like postnasal drip, GERD, asthma, or COPD. Lying flat makes it easier for stomach acid to rise and mucus from sinuses to drip down the throat, leading to increased irritation and coughing. 

Common Reasons for Nighttime Coughing

• Postnasal Drip: Mucus from sinuses and nose drips down the throat when you're flat, irritating airways.
• GERD (Acid Reflux): Stomach acid flows back up into the esophagus and throat, causing irritation.
• Asthma: Airways become more inflamed and sensitive at night, triggering coughing fits.
• COPD/Chronic Bronchitis:Inflammation and mucus in airways worsen when lying down.
• Heart Failure: Fluid can build up in the lungs when lying flat, causing coughing.
• Environmental Factors: Dry air, dust from bedding, or allergens can exacerbate nighttime coughing. 

What to Do

• Elevate Your Head: Use pillows to keep your head higher than your chest.
• Humidify: Use a humidifier to add moisture to the air.
• Stay Upright After Eating: Avoid eating large meals close to bedtime.
• Keep Bedding Clean: Reduce dust and allergen exposure. 

When to See a Doctor

If your cough is persistent, severe, or accompanied by fever, chest pain, or difficulty breathing, see a doctor to rule out underlying conditions like heart failure, pneumonia, or worsening lung diseases.

THE REASON TO MARRY.

A man and a woman who decided to marry each other went to a sanyasi to seek his blessings. 

When they prostrated before him and sought his blessing, the saint told the woman to go to another room.

After she went, he asked the man why did he want to marry her. He replied, that she was beautiful, intelligent, educated, well employed, and propertied. Hence he wanted to marry her. Then he told him to go to the other room and called the woman.

When she came back, he asked her the same question about why she wanted to marry him. For this, she replied that he was handsome, intelligent, educated, well employed and propertied. Hence she wanted to marry him.

The sanyasi then called them and said, he was sorry to say that both of them were unfit to marry each other. They did not love each other. They loved only the material benefits of the other which were not permanent in life. To marry, they should love each other which alone would give them happiness.

THE VALUE OF MONEY.

Two boyhood friends met after a long time. They studied together during their younger days. 

One was a wealthy businessman and the other was about to take up sainthood. They met in a small town and they were proceeding to another town.

On their way, there found a river in floods. Both had the urgency to cross the river to reach the other side. 

There was no bridge to cross the river. A boatman was sitting nearby with a boat. The businessman requested him to take them to the other side.

He said since the river was in spate and it was dangerous to live. The saint kept quiet but the businessman asked him how much he charged to cross the river. He said he charged Rs.100/. The businessman then offered him Rs1000/.

Lured by the handsome offer, he agreed and all the three got into the boat. After reaching the other side, the businessman sarcastically told the sanyasi, "See what money could do. Why do you want to renounce and become a saint without money?" 

The sanyasi replied, " My dear friend, you could not cross the river until you had the money in your pocket. Only after renouncing the money you were able to cross the river. You could never cross the river by keeping the money in your pocket."

INCOME MINUS SAVINGS IS EXPENSE.

Hi friends,

On seeing this, you may pooh-pooh me. You may not have the patience even to read this. You may think, you have everything under your control and nothing will go out of your hand. The present generation has a good income but the cost of living is high.  A planned life will make it successful. 

People talk about transparency, accountability, right to information, etc. Without accounting, you do not know where you stand and it is difficult to go up in life. Here are some tips.

1. Laziness is the root cause of not writing accounts. You must have an inherent desire that you are paid for the job and the savings are your pay.

2. Slowly you become accustomed to it like other activities viz sleeping, bathing, eating, etc. Then you become an addict to it.

3. I am not computer savvy. I write manually. If you can develop accounting on the computer it is better and confidential.

4. To start with, buy a Chitta notebook [a half size] having Debit and Credit rulings containing 92 pages which will come for 2 to 3 years.

5. At the end of the day, both of you sit together and write all the day's expenses without any omission. This is called "daybook"

6. At the end of the month, on a rough paper, open different heads of account, according to your nature of spending, viz provisions, rice, milk, phone, veg, capital, etc and post every entry from "daybook" and find the total of each head of the account.

7. At the end of the notebook, open cols.for months horizontally and for heads of expenses vertically.

8. Post the total expenses in each head of the account in the respective month.

9. At the bottom, provide few lines for the income viz salary, rent, others, etc

10. The last line is for savings. Deduct the expense from income and post it against savings.

11. At the end of the year, total everything and find the total savings and investments made.

12. At the end of each month ANALYZE the expenses and assess where you have to control.

13. This analysis is most important otherwise there is no purpose of writing accounts.

14. If the savings are 50% of the income, it is good. If it is 60% it is very good.

15  Your income goes up regularly. If you control the expenses now and start saving, you will get better results.

16. If you think you can save later when the income is more,  you will never succeed.

17. Please bear in mind housing, education, medical expenses for self and parents, and retired life while planning.

18. Every wasteful expense will look like genuine. BEWARE.

19. Husband and wife should have a good understanding and cooperate with each other. Otherwise, it is better not to write and leave it to God as the family is more important than money.

20. One may be carefree or careful in spending. If both are carefree, they can not write. If both are careful, they find pleasure in writing. If one is careful and the other is carefree, it is better the accounts are written by the careful and the other should cooperate.

21. In writing accounts, you should have a long perspective and wait for the results.

22. Expenses on clothing should be controlled. Each member should have only 5 to 6 sets. Purchases should be made once in 4 years as a replacement after giving the old to the poor. No spending on birthday, festivals, etc.

23. When both are employed, there is a tendency to eat out often. This should be controlled as it is not good for health and the purse. You may go out once in a month.

24. Going for movies should be restricted to once in a month or once in two months.

25. There is difference between invitation and information.You should respect only invitation. Unless both families have visited and dined together mutually in their respective houses, it is not invitation.[colleagues excluded]

26. Normally people say income minus expense is savings, For you, it should be income minus savings should be expense.

27. Last but not the least, don't be a miser, life is to be enjoyed. 

I wish that this New Year 2026 will bring you good health, peace, prosperity and happiness.
