London: The social networking website Facebook is being blamed for a growing number of divorces in Britain as married partners are caught cheating online.

A lawyer said how every divorce she had dealt with in the past nine months had involved the social networking website, according to The Sun.

Nowadays, even flirty messages and photos of new lovers after a split are being used by former spouses as "ammunition" in divorce proceedings.

Lawyers are advising couples to stop using Facebook and sites such as Second Life, Illicit Encounters and Friends Reunited until legal proceedings are finalised.

Emma Patel, of Hart Scales and Hodges Solicitors, in Surrey, has dealt with 30 divorces since May, and all involved Facebook.

What effect does Facebook have on relationships? Has it become a way for partners to check up on one another? Should messages and photos be allowed as evidence during divorce proceedngs? Tell us what you think by posting a comment below.

Divine accident

"The most wonderful of all things in life, I believe, is the discovery of another human being with whom one's relationship has a glowing depth, beauty, and joy as the years increase. This inner progressiveness of love between two human beings is a most marvelous thing, it cannot be found by looking for it or by passionately wishing for it. It is a sort of Divine accident." Sir Hugh Walpoe

"Today I begin to understand what love must be, if it exists. . . . When we are parted, we each feel the lack of the other half of ourselves. We are incomplete like a book in two volumes of which the first has been lost. That is what I imagine love to be: incompleteness in absence". Edmond de Goncourt (1822-96) and Jules de Goncourt (1830-70), French writers.

 

My heart to you is given: Oh, do give yours to me; We'll lock them up together, And throw away the key.

"Love is an act of endless forgiveness, a tender look which becomes a habit".

ye mahaloN ye taKhtoN ye taajoN ki duniya

Going over the list of posted songs and nazms, I was surprised to see I hadn’t posted this song yet on this site.  This happens to be one of my favourite songs from one of my favourite movies ever, Pyaasa (Guru Dutt).  The song is simply amazing!  I think it fits in nicely with my recent posts regarding patriotic/nationalist songs by Sahir.

Enjoy the song, a video, courtesy the amazing posters at youtube, is posted below as well.

ye mahloN, ye taKhtoN, ye taajoN ki duniya
ye insaaN ke dushman, samaajoN ki duniya
ye daulat ke bhuukhe, rivaajoN ki duniyaa
ye duniyaa agar mil bhi jaaye to kyaa hai
ye duniyaa agar mil bhi jaaye to kyaa hai

har ik jism ghaayal, har ik ruuh pyaasii
nigaahoN me uljhan, diloN meiN udaasi
ye duniyaa hai yaa aalam-e-badhavaasii
ye duniyaa agar mil bhi jaaye to kyaa hai

jahaaN ik khilona hai insaaN ki hastii
ye bastii hai murda-parastoN ki bastii
yahaaN par to jeevan se hai maut sastii
ye duniyaa agar mil bhi jaaye to kyaa hai

javaani bhaTaktii hai bezaar bankar
javaaN jism sajate haiN baazaar bankar
jahaaN pyaar hota hai vyopaar bankar
ye duniyaa agar mil bhi jaaye to kyaa hai

ye duniyaa jahaaN aadmi kuchh nahiiN hai
vafaa kuchh nahiiN, dostii kuchh nahiiN hai
jahaaN pyaar ki qadr hi kuchh nahiiN hai
ye duniyaa agar mil bhi jaaye to kyaa hai

jalaa do ise  phuuNk DaaloN ye duniyaa
jalaa do jalaa do
jalaa do ise phuuNk DaaloN ye duniyaa
mere saamne se haTaa lo ye duniyaa
tumhaari hai tum hi sambhaalo ye duniyaa
ye duniyaa agar mil bhi jaaye to kyaa hai
