Sadly, the whole purpose of mobile has not been understood. We see people with mobile phones from the bedroom to the bathroom and everywhere possible. Let's understand a few numbers - 9-10 hours at the office minimum, 2 hours of travel time, 7-8 hours of sleep (normally), 1-2 hours for daily activities. People at home are waiting for us to spend time with them.
A good thought-provoking article. Thanks

Dear Pradepa,
Thank you for providing an article pertaining to the current scenario. It is individuals' rights to play the right role in their lifestyle without affecting the family, friends, corporate, and society. People who read this article will understand the facts, and doing the right thing is the only solution.

Hi Pradeepta,
Even I encounter the same kind of calls from my colleagues, but I think everything is in our hands. We should know when to stop and where to limit our office relations. Moreover, if you are truly in love with your partner, you don't think of anyone else except him.
Great article with meaningful insight.

Dear Pradepa,
There is a clear demarcation between friendship and flirting. And if someone chooses to be friends with a flirt, he/she pays for it. Like you have said, colleagues are the ones with whom we spend most of our time, especially those who are single, as Mr. Deepak has highlighted - people who have left their family and childhood friends back home and relocated to a different place, they always look forward to bonding with colleagues and making friends. Each person has to act responsibly about their relationship with another. As for divorce, please note that women are independent these days; some of them do not want to put up with the burden of running a family and supporting financially. The bottom line is that tolerance levels have become less. Unlike the (g)old days where women were dependent on the husband/father/son/sibling, who was the sole breadwinner of the family. They play a dual role these days, having additional responsibilities. The workplace is a battlefield for a woman as well, with equal employment opportunities and equal remuneration; no one is spared, and definitely not by virtue of being a woman.
Though I do agree with your point when you say people need to know how to keep flirtatious men/women at bay. People have preferences, and when such incidents (like suicide) happen, it occurs more out of guilt over cheating on the partner.

It is indeed good to see so many members responding to this article and presenting their views. It is true that with the changing values and paradigm shift of gender roles and expectations, these are the side effects that we all witness and have our views on.
However, the basic structure of a society must not be forgotten. We all are bricks to it, and by not knowing the difference between friendship and flirting at workplaces, in some ways, we are breaking that equilibrium we are responsible to maintain.

It's really a great eye-opener for everybody who works. These articles and discussions really help people to think about themselves and their family, and for what reasons we all are working - for family only. As we spend more hours in the office and strive for some materialistic happiness, we will lose our family on the other side. To err is human, but consciously correcting it is the right step. It may be difficult at the beginning, but you can depend on spiritual ways or books for that and act wisely.

Hi All!
Hope evryone is doing well.
Extra “marital” affair or extra “official” affair??? An “Eye opener?”- Were the eyes closed before this post???
Gud that u gave a thought to the topic; however, I believe this needs self-realization more than anything. Those who are working or rather "married" (as this is in regard to "extra marital affair") are supposed to be responsible & mature people. Firstly, finding yourself trapped in such situation itself shows the immaturity & lack of sensibility. Secondly, after all the mess created, expecting others to put forward something & help one to come out of the situation is the most naive thing that could be done...In a nutshell, if you cannot understand what is good & what is bad, nobody can make you understand anything!
I’m sorry if it sounds rude but that is the way it is…Do u really think that the post is an eye opener???
Also, I would add that we cannot out rightly say that “extra marital affair” is bad. I do agree that this is morally corrupted but many a times there are some genuine reasons behind it…Seems unconventional??? Again, this is a fact...
Lastly, no hard feelings please!

Nice article.
Making friends with your colleagues... why not! As long as we share the same likes and dislikes, have so much in common. It's just natural or human to have a colleague as a friend, hang out on weekends, or do things together with the families. Here I mean the same sex and not the opposite! For sure on the opposite sex, there are those who are craving for attention, something they miss getting at home... that's a totally different scene! And there are those who are just sociable and know where to draw the line. If you're just unhappy with your marriage life, seek counseling, don't go having an extramarital affair. That's not gonna last or help. It would only add salt on the wounds. If you're bored, then keep yourself busy, work something out. They say an idle mind is the devil's workshop. Life is short, so enjoy it and make the right choices.
