An excellent article. Full of knowledge, very thought provoking and pertinent. However, I guess a lot of people like me would have loved to read about how to deal with a person belonging to one of the groups, if one is stuck in a relationship with such a person.

Re: # 19

Dear Annu...thank you for your kind words. I will keep your suggestion in mind and might

write an article on how to deal with such people and how such people can help themselves.

If I write such an article I will submit it to the chowk editors...thanks...sohail

Re: # 16

My dear Aslam Kit number 644

You have asked Sohail about two different things- dating and attracting opposite sex. I guess the order is wrong. It should have been attracting and dating. I think he should first tell you how to attract and then how to date them. What do you think?

Re: # 14
Dear articulating.... In my opinion there is two kinds of art and literature....popular art and

escapist literature....like Harlequen Romances....that provides cheap entertainment.

As far as people know it is escape from reality there is no harm but if people take it

seriously then we have a problem. Many Hollywood movies are just for entertainment

so are many Indian films. The second type of literature is wisdom literature that helps us

develop insights in human condition and become better human beings, better friends and

better lovers. Such literature provides not only entertainment but also enlightenment. I

have more regard for such literature. Stories of Manto and poetry of Kabir das, Walt

Whitman and Ghalib are such examples.

My website is www.drsohail.com and my email address is welcome@drsohail.com

sincerely sohail

Interesting read. Provided some good insight.
Reminiscent of Fromm`s Art of Loving.
Thanks, Sohail sahib.

Re: # 8
Dear PM...who likes vanilla icecream with chocolate syrup....I have a great respect for Eric

Fromm and learnt a lot from him. I also learnt a lot from his wife Freida Fromm Reichman

who was a wonderful psychotherapist. thanks for your kind and generous words.

sincerely sohail

Dr Sohail Saab Jee,
Aslam Walekum:

Ki haal Chaal Je?

I was wondering if you left Chowk for Good or were on a small vacation?

Nice article and has some good points but it is more of idealistic approach that you are mentioning.

Ek Geet Sadde Pind vich Amlee Gaanda si:

Kisi Nay Majnu nu kya We MajnuYa tere Laila te barrey Kaale Hai.
Majnu ne tunakde hoye Jawab ditta, mere laiala tere te tuahdey dil dono kaale ne....

Point; When people fall in love then they dont care about healthy relationships, only healthy Sex is considered.

thanks
