Hope not. !!!Swapna Raghu Sanandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10167474469892964199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7269219202790509435.post-11848847254095597612012-09-10T10:08:51.034+05:302012-09-10T10:08:51.034+05:30Namaste....

While some of us quietly convey our love expressing it in muted ways quietly taking care of our families, making sure our husbands know that he is loved and honored while others prefer the external validation and public adoration that comes with declaring and claiming their spouses by announcing to the world their ownership. <br /><br />The public affirmation and the continued reaffirmations of others is an important aspect of the relationship, it’s a validation by way of congratulatory wishes from others on the number of years of marriage and the love that still seem potent and enduring. It is righteous confirmation signifying that they have done something right and continue to do so.<br /><br /><br />Either way is neither right nor wrong, its just different, different expressions of being and living.<br /><br />have a blessed week.<br />peace.Rhapsody Phoenixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03520384490148575528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7269219202790509435.post-45889983337087487082012-09-10T10:00:47.184+05:302012-09-10T10:00:47.184+05:30PDA as you said as become very common and many peo...PDA as you said as become very common and many people genuinely are more physical in the way they show affection. I believe that not all people who do PDA have a bad relationship/marriage.<br /><br />I have some friends who will hug me every time I meet them and some who will jut say Hi! verbally. It is just the nature of each person.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.lazypineapple.com/2012/09/trapped-inside-nightmare.html/%22" rel="nofollow">Lazy Pineapple</a>Vinita Aptehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06549627033763568859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7269219202790509435.post-1957672415772820162012-09-09T21:50:17.838+05:302012-09-09T21:50:17.838+05:30@ Irfan FB is the new way to "show off"@ Irfan FB is the new way to "show off"Meera Sundararajanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15584671517551652378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7269219202790509435.post-1632831489767658542012-09-09T20:35:21.270+05:302012-09-09T20:35:21.270+05:30@ Ibhade, thanks so much for your concern- yes I a...@ Ibhade, thanks so much for your concern- yes I am better and the stitches come off tommorrow. You are right about the married couples bit - if everything is to be done in public then wonder what they do in private?<br /><br />@ Ms Nana welcome to my blog. Certainly you are entitled to your opinion and I always welcome different views on anything I write. Displaying affection may be the done thing with certain kinds of people but there is certainly a difference when they do it spontaneously and when it is contrived.<br /><br />@SG again welcome to my blog. Thanks for the kind words. LOL..!! A short form for hon? But yes you are right - sometimes when couples may have issues they try to be very demonstrative in public.Meera Sundararajanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15584671517551652378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7269219202790509435.post-22419860061446400232012-09-09T15:23:58.289+05:302012-09-09T15:23:58.289+05:30First time on your blog,

I think it might be genuine and they do not even consider the thought of someone thinking they are doing it for the sake of it.<br /><br />xx<br /><br /><a href="http://simplymsnana.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Diary Of A Shallow Black Girl</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04335257029186851656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7269219202790509435.post-60231203522816614532012-09-09T00:30:22.390+05:302012-09-09T00:30:22.390+05:30First time here.

And, thus send a message to the husband.<br /><br />“Honey” has been shortened to “hon” here in USA. In Southern states (like Georgia, Alabama, Kentucky, etc.) (who are known for their hospitality) even casual acquaintances and strangers are addressed “hon”.<br />SGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05790347071764332430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7269219202790509435.post-72119017422588044512012-09-07T23:45:57.433+05:302012-09-07T23:45:57.433+05:30well, we all are living in a world that likes &quo...well, we all are living in a world that likes "show-off"..be it of any kind..and while doing so people just don't care about anything....<br /><br />moreover its not only about those fb status but you can see married couples doing all sort of things at public places..i mean what is the need of doing that in public, if you are living under one roof....Irfanuddinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17931968343851910523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7269219202790509435.post-39267623529113731232012-09-07T23:16:03.078+05:302012-09-07T23:16:03.078+05:30I don't like PDA.

I will surely read it and thanks for mentioning me.<br /><br />@ Anil you are very observant- Jr Bacchan and the DIL are probably one of the couples who are most false while in public. I think if they could act half as well in their movies they would walk away with all the awards. The entire Bacchhan family is a movie <br /><br />@ Divya- as I had said I am not against public display of affection. It is a natural thing to do if you are in love. In places like Bombay public spaces symbolize anonymity so you can see couples "almost making out" But they are not doing it coz they want to prove a point to someone You may like to read my post "No PDA please we are Indians"<br /><br />@ Bikram thanks for your comment.

However, PDA as such does not really bother me - I mean these days, everyone likes exhibiting their love and to be honest, there isn't much wrong with that...<br /><br />There are some people who like keeping intimacy a private affair..there are others who like displaying it before the whole world :) :)It's ok to have both kinds :D :D <br /><br />The need to address someone as honey/jaan/baby - cheesy as it may be, it isn't that big a deal - at the end, it is about personal choice :) There is nothing wrong with wanting to be filmy :D :D Divyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07478829599969479017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7269219202790509435.post-42253135158486249342012-09-05T12:37:28.052+05:302012-09-05T12:37:28.052+05:30From the first word in the post to the last letter...From the first word in the post to the last letter of the last word, I cannot but agree with you.<br />Sham, and specious!<br />The affinity and affection , regard and love can been sensed in the body chemistry, in the eyes and not in the uttering of sweet nothing and clownish gesticulations. <br /><br />Perhaps you had a reason in posting the junior Bachan and his spouse?<br />anilkurup59https://www.blogger.com/profile/07961961217418715354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7269219202790509435.post-22542274652993120502012-09-05T10:48:47.461+05:302012-09-05T10:48:47.461+05:30Hello Meera,
