Dr. Deshmukh, I do appreciate and agree to what you have said, It is quite an objective viewpoint than just some personal experiece.& just to add a point. Very less number of ppl. are actually capable (emotionally, psychologically & spiritually) of living their lives in a healthier manner without a family..And I want to make a point here agaist those who keep on saying things like "its just your personal choice/belief and no one has to do anything with what you believe" No nothing is so personal ...we all are much more iterconnected that a lot of us can ever imagine of ...and what one thinks has a lot of repurcussions on a lot of others...(both gud n bad)..just to give an may be exagerrated example..all terrorism starts from the personal belief and thought of someone ..
