  • Renew your relations

    Monotone, platonic, never-changing, always the same. Sounds boring right? Then why do we expect our relationships to be such. Why do words like change, newness, disruption cause us cold feet?

    Relationships are like living organisms. They are never stable. Whether it’s with your partner, friends, parents or siblings. Each relation is like an organism that has its own wishes, fancies and moods. The equation can undergo change in due course of time. It can change multiple times, with its own highs and lows, in’s and out’s. Stay unpurterbed as the true nature of a relation is to evolve, morph and take the shape of your lifestyle, milestones and other key aspects of life.

    Sometimes just looking at the equation with a critical pair of eyes helps. A fresh Point of View always helps. Something that worked in the past is no longer relevant while something that didn’t work might now be a huge hit. Thus it’s a mistake to write off any relationship and burn bridges completely. Never give up on the partnership you got as it is never a lost cause. The time you invested is always going to get you a return of equity. Infact it’s a wealth of wisdom, memories and shared experiences you have built together. There are pearls of wisdoms ingrained in your subtle memory, today or tomorrow they would make you a better version of you.

    Tomorrow always brings the opportunity to start afresh. Thus tidying over the weather is in everyone’s best interest, especially yours to make the gains both tangible as well as intangible.

  • It takes two to tango ( and plenty to party)

    Group dynamics are interesting social settings to ponder over. & here are my observations from the past decade of friendships.
    A two-person setup keeps it tight, personal and sometimes even deep. Deep gossip or deep intellectual – it can swing from either extreme. Yet it’s an unsigned deal between the two folks to keep the conversation to themselves as these are shared in privacy as both confide in each other.

    1, 2, 3, 4, get on the dance floor

    Make it three individuals and the setting becomes a bit more less intimate, more formal and way more lighter. Of course it can get weird with one feeling left out while the other two bond and the dynamics get a bit odd (literally and figuratively as well). After all, the odd (wo) man out has no option but to listen in and try to fit in!
    But add another person and cross-talks are an option now! Nobody feels left out as you can pick up another conversation with the fourth guy. Now it’s all fun and laughter, good humored banter sprinkled with bitching and whining where all join in with their experiences. No room for sad or serious topics here mind you as all are full of jest.
    Whatever your cup of tea; tango or tri-party or full-blown party; keep sipping as much and as often from all the flavors of life. After all YOLO πŸ˜‰

  • Great expectations

    We meet, we talk, we expect. We get emotionally attached, we wait for replies, answers and conversations to happen.

    And finally if the other person doesn’t respond, we make our own assumptions. Good, bad, ugly.

    Merry or Morbid

    But life goes on, so stay unhooked. Keep a smile and you can jolly walk your way through this journey of life. Stay light in your heart and keep fluttering everyday. πŸ’•

  • Burden of memories

    For all the years past, all the love lost and all the silence borne. I wish I could cry in your arms until the tears stopped flowing. I wish I could erase the memories sparing just the laughs. I wish I could ease the pain until only love remained.

    I wish I could find words to express. Courage to ask forgiveness. Strength to meet you. Intellect to rein emotions. I want to keep the memories minus the aches, the experience without the trauma and the faces without the words that were exchanged.

    In forgiveness I seek freedom. Freedom from guilt, ache, painful memories and all the sufferings related to it. For in my mind I am still the wrong doer who is out free and hence doesn’t deserve to be happy.

  • Everytime I meet you I meet you for the first time

    Speaking everyday, yet connecting once a year. Knowing all about sport and not aware my own sibling is a tennis champ. Everytime I meet you I meet you for the first time. Happy Rakshabandhan didi.

    Everytime I think I know you inside out, you come up with new lingo. Everytime I think I have taught you all, you come up with questions beyond. Everytime I think you are grown up enough, your emotions catch me. I gave you birth but you gave me life. Love you to the moon and back my child.

    We met, we chatted, we fell in love. We married, we became parents, we got busier with our jobs. Days became weeks and weeks became months as we kept juggling the curveballs of life. A cup of tea here, a moment of quiet there is when a new you meets a new me.
