  • Can a lost phone be traced months later?

    I lost a Samsung phone that did not have any tracking app installed on it. I am not sure that the tracking settings that samsung phones have are on. I do not remember putting those settings on. The police refuse to register an FIR. They are unaware that an AFFIDAVIT is no longer required to register an FIR. My question is, if someone turns on the settings on the samsung phone, can the IMEI be tracked even if it may be months or years later? Is there any way I can track the phone through the IMEI?

  • OTG or convection microwave for baking cakes?

    I love baking but no matter how careful I am, cakes baked in my convection microwave oven always come out burnt on one corner. It seems that the heating is uneven because even if I am baking cookies on a tray, the cookies on one side of the tray turn more brown than the on the rest of the tray. I have heard that cakes come out better in an OTG - Oven Toaster Griller, because it uses the traditional method of heating rods and this helps cakes to bake evenly. Does anyone know if this is true?

  • Feeling neglected in marriage?

    I've been married for four years now, known him for six years in all. I have a 19 month old daughter. I had a good career going for me and was financially independent. After I had my baby I took up freelancing as an editor but I quit because it was getting too difficult for me to manage working and doing household chores as baby started walking and wanted to mess with the laptop while I was working.

    Now I have no income, and therefore I cant afford to give my loved ones gifts or anything. I never had the habit of shopping for myself anyway. No shopping, no movies, no treats..nothing. I could cope with this without ever even thinking about it, but when I look at it as a part of everything thats going on in my life, its getting difficult to handle.

    He shut me out emotionally during my pregnancy and three months after baby was born. I had no emotional support, no physical show of affection. I felt abandoned, as if he was blind to how I was suffering having to do all the housework alone while managing a super stressful full time job as well because we needed the money. After baby was born, I remember crying because I wanted to sleep as peacefully as he did when baby would wake up every 30 minutes just as I lay down to sleep. I would always have to get up and attend to her while he snored. He just kept quiet and listened whenever I voiced my feelings.

    Even now I do ALL of the housework despite trying everything to try to get him to help. I have cried, got upset, argued, ignored and now have finally chosen to quietly just live with the fact that i'm never going to get any help.

    Even this, I can put up with. But its not over. There is our sex life. Or the lack of it. Before marriage he was happy to do it as many times as physically possible for him. After marriage the interest waned though initially I'd do whatever he wished, to keep things interesting. Now he has no interest at all. I used to think its because I've gained weight and have stretch marks after baby was born. Now I have lost most of the weight I had gained during pregnancy. He still isnt interested. If I ask him about it he says of course I am still attracted to you, of course I find you sexy..I dont care about your weight, you look beautiful anyway.

    I am not the kind who would have an extra marital affair but this is just breaking my heart. I feel I am nothing more than a maid. A caretaker. A babysitter. There are no happy surprises for me, not even on my bday or our anniversary. He'd rather sit at home and watch a DVD than go out to watch a movie and I feel guilty asking him to take me for a movie, thinking about the expense.

    He never kisses me just like that. Only when he's going all the way. He laughs saying I'm being silly when I suggest we need counselling because he dosent see a problem. He says all couples 'slow down' after marriage. To be honest, I dont feel up to counselling myself. I turn to immersing myself in prayers and I cry whenever I feel overwhelmed. I feel lifeless. Hopeless. Has anyone been here? What did you do? Whats next?

  • What is 'surgery in reiki'?

    I read somewhere that in Reiki, a practitioner can perform 'psychic' surgery or something like that, to clear things like fibroids and also help with removing the hurt associated with disturbing experiences in the past. Does anyone know more about this and whether it really helps?

  • Angel Therapy and connecting to angels?

    I am very interested in learning all about Angels. I checked out several online courses but everyone wants to charge a bomb for courses in Angel therapy. I have bought books and also a pack of oracle cards. I use the cards everyday but am sad that so far there havent been any 'signs' that I have connected with my angels. I read that people see feathers, lights and other signs...none of that has happened for me yet. Any suggestions on how I can take this further?

  • Can reiki help clear resentment?

    I am trying to understand how I can let go of resentment towards my parents for some incidents in my childhood that still make me feel very sad. I want to 'move on' and want these old memories to no longer have any power over me but I havent been able to forgive and forget. Counseling doesnt help me. I dont know how to meditate. Prayers have not completely helped me. I am a creative person and I feel that holding resentment towards anyone can hamper my creativity. I want to be FREE of all resentment. At this point I am trying to understand whether hypnotherapy or Reiki can help. Is reiki only for physical conditions? Can it help me?

  • Am I being clingy, or is this what happens to married couples after a few years?

    My husband and I have known each other for around 5 yrs and been married for 3. We have a one yr old baby. My problem is that I feel disappointed, let down by marriage. He is a good guy, affectionate but not as expressive as I'd like. I accept that but there are other things that I feel are a huge let down. I guess I subconsciously had great expectations from a love marriage. He used to talk about going abroad, studying further etc. All that changed and he seems to have become complacent. He now wants to try scriptwriting and film direction and though I am supportive, he dosent seem to be doing anything more than talking about it.

    In all these years we have had some serious fights about how he never helps around at home even with the simplest things like cleaning a ceiling fan. He always ends the fight saying he'll do some chores and its back to square one, just like that. Like the fights never happened.

    I am a very affectionate person, I need hugs to survive. He dosent express his love for me in any other way than saying he loves me. I used to surprise him with gifts for no reason but he has NEVER done that. In fact now even the b'day and anniversary gifts are slowly disappearing. he forgot to get me anything or even wish me on my bday the year we got together. I would have made it a special occasion. I rarely ever get a rose from him. He'll bring me a chocolate bar sometimes, mostly when i ask for it.

    Also, he isnt crazy about getting intimate anymore. I mean literally no action in that department. before marriage he couldnt keep his hands off me. Initially after marriage I used to dress up for him, do special things but he never did anything special for me or made any efforts. Now, after baby, I should be the one making excuses but he is the one who has lost all interest. I'm still shedding baby weight so his behavior makes me feel very very unattractive. I have lost confidence in my looks. When I bring up the topic he'll deny that he finds me unattractive and make excuses, maybe get intimate just for the sake of it but then again it'll become few and far between. I keep thinking if I'd said yes to some other guy, they'd be glad to have me as their partner, because there were a few such pals whom I insisted on staying 'just friends' with, who even now say my husband got lucky, getting me.

    Nowadays I no longer complain about having to do chores alone or anything else. I work from home, I'm an editor, and nowadays whats irritating me is how after he comes from work and has tea to unwind, he dosent look after baby while I complete my work for the day. So I have to sit through the night while baby is sleeping so that I can finish my work. While he is at work I need to cook his meals, keep the house neat AND try to get some work done so that I can sit with him when he's home. But he gets so lost in watching TV, I feel I'm only as notable as the furniture.

    I still do a LOT of things for him, like making his favorite dessert etc just because i love him. But it breaks my heart everyday to think that talking isnt helping, so I will live my whole life never feeling 'cherished'. Am I being too demanding/clingy?

  • Need help understanding spirituality?

    Even as a school girl I was seeking answers to questions like why are we here on earth? What did God give us this life for? Is life only about growing up, working, getting married, having kids, bringing them up and dying? At a young age I read the Bhagwad Gita and read An Autobiography of a Yogi.I am a Hindu by birth but I feel much peace when I sat at the Mt Mary church in Bandra. I grew up in a house where my mother never lit the lamp or did pooja rituals unlike most Hindu homes. Nobody gave me an introduction or understanding of religion. When I pray, I never have a form in mind though praying in front of idols helps me focus my mind on thinking about God. Now I am nearly 30 and my confusion has grown even more. I am desperately seeking a direction, some answers. When I reveal my desperation to people, some want me to join them in their only God and Krishna Consciousness movement while others want me to believe in Nirmala Devi and her teachings. I watch religious channels just for all the good thoughts they share but saw a programme that said Jesus is the only God. What do I do now? One thing that I read has stayed with me and makes me restless, "When the student is ready, the Guru will appear". Why am I feeling lost? There are a million ways and I dont know what to choose...Art of living, Hare Rama Hare Krishna, sudarshan Kriya, Shivyog, Sahaj Yog, kriya yog, Bhramakumaris, Rajyog, Bhakti yog, The Bible, Mantras...what do I choose? How can I simplify my life and choose one path? when I pray I feel God isnt listening. I feel lost, abandoned, overlooked. I have prayed for guidance but received none. I have lost sleep, I am that restless. What do I do now?

  • gemstones ill effects?

    I used to wear a bracelet which had a cats eye gemstone in it. I used to wear it on my left hand and i remember reading somewhere that cats eye does not suit some people. Is it coincidence that I have a fibroid on my left side or could it be the ill effect of the gemstone? Nobody in my family had fibroids and this was diagnosed months after I started wearing the bracelet.

  • Worshipping - Vedic rituals?

    I am a Hindu by birth. As in most Hindu households, I have a temple as well, with idols and photos of Hindu gods. I am not very religious by nature, I do not fast or pray as a ritual..I mean lighting the lamp and all. I just pray in my mind and I do that often. My question is, is is harmful, is there any dosham in leaving the temple at home neglected..it is rarely used so there is dust accumulated there..the lamp never gets lit, I never burn incense. I feel rather than doing it for a few days and then being lazy, better not light the lamp at all. Will this cause any ill effect?

  • convection or OTG for baking cakes?

    I like to bake cakes but whenever I have tried baking in my convection microwave, the cake has burned in the centre no matter how careful I am. In facet, the ones I make in a pressure cooker are more moist than the microwave oven baked one. I have been advised by a few people that cakes are best baked in an OTG. Is this true? Could anyone tell me if it would be worth spending on an OTG or is there something I could do to bake a cake properly in the microwave?
