Pranam 1 Mottai is a lesser known fact to whom? to Brahmins in this forum?. Even many know the lady word for that written in English used by the brahmin family. 2 Again who said Deer are not domesticated till ancient time till date?. The skin usage is prohibited by the law as sanyasis have to apply if they need one to Govt. But few who like nature have common deers at home as growing them up is not hard. Deer hunt is prohibited. Sakunthala had a deer. Sita wanted a deer so domestication must have been there. 3 Human ears can hear only certain decibel sound; dogs can hear higher and lower decibels than human; animal instinct is sharper on sounds then human; Audibility also depends on the distance; the earth churn and planetary motions generate heavy sounds but could not be heard because of the distance; so to the mosquito flying air cutting sound one hears when it is too closer and not when it is at a distance. 8 By astrology, ashtakam in the birth charts of husband and wife, will lead to perennial fights, not skirmishes. Karma is another. Ego is the third. Ego has many faces; one is knowing fully the strength and standing to deliver which is termed as bravery and confidence; another is pretending to be highly qualified, dramatis weed thoughts of self-ill treatments, and pounding on others to show that they are tigers though actually not even acat. The husband wife by nature is a balanced act of the imbalances of one in another. Where the realisation dawns in both there is bound to be skirmishes, but those coconut stick fighting will break the sticks to embrace. If not they turn a knife cutting each other endlessly. The pity is as lovers theer are no hard core fights since both tend to ignore or try to understand; but why do they forget after the marriage what they practiced erstwhile?. Sex is no doubt vital but one shall not cry over , as modern media , only that; many couples had learnt to love without sex in history. Mind is the key. KR IRS 29821
