Finally rebelling against his father’s decision, in 1911 Harilal renounced all family ties. Harilal converted to Islam at the Jumma Masjid, Bombay on 29th May 1936 and took up the name Abdullah Gandhi. (May 1936, at the age of 48, Harilal publicly converted to Islam and named himself Abdulla Gandhi. However, later in 1936, on his mother Kasturba Gandhi's request he converted back to Hinduism through the Arya Samaj and adopted a new name, Hiralal)  Gandhiji wrote to his other son, Ramdas Gandhi, the following day, “There could be no harm in his being converted to Islam with understanding and selfless motives.

They’ll withdraw if they perceive a truth too early. It’s the Cassandra syndrome - perceiving a truth at the right time is as important as perceiving the truth. When is it the right time? When everyone else can also perceive that truth, of course. In the right circumstances, being able to anticipate certain things is quite powerful. But Cassandra wasn’t Agamemnon, or Hector, or Priam. She couldn’t do anything with what she saw, except be a disbelieved and misunderstood voice in the wilderness. If you’re lucky, or careful, you’ll navigate the world regardless. But if you’re not careful, or you’re unlucky, you’ll receive pretty strong signals that the truth you perceive isn’t welcome. Over time, you may well feel less welcome in general. And people can sense when you’re not on board with the program, particularly in conformist societies. And if the truth you see is one of great turmoil, lasting for decades, perhaps you’ll want to avoid the storm. Spending too much time alone can be unhea...

The same goes with umbrellas, pens    Never order the expensive dish on the menu when someone is giving you a lunch/dinner.    Don’t ask awkward questions like ‘Oh so you aren’t married yet?’ Or ‘Don’t you have kids’ or ‘Why didn’t you buy a house?’ Or why don't you buy a car? For God’s sake it isn’t your problem;   Always open the door for the person coming behind you. It doesn’t matter if it is a guy or a girl, senior or junior. You don’t grow small by treating someone well in public ; If you take a taxi with a friend and he/she pays now, try paying next time;  Respect different shades of opinions. Remember what's 6 to you will appear 9 to someone facing you. Besides...
