  • Marriage : From Label to Libel

    Its a dying institute many say in today’s information era. Same was said for the institution of family in the industrial era. Without making a case for either, it would be interesting to explore how it’s evolving in the new-age society.

    To most it starts as a societal label which formalizes your relationship. Establishing credibility for your adulthood. Being a passport to freedom, to decision making (& owning them too).

    To a few its a libel, even if it’s a sour sanguine relationship, they want to live it up till death do us apart. Just to live upto the label, they are putting up with the discomfort of a libel.

    Leaving aside the peer pressure (which is manifold in the digital era), what matters is what matters most in life, to you. Label or libel, if it’s dear then put your might behind it. If not, then the world is your home, be a free bird. Irrespective of what you choose, remember public memory is always effervescent.

  • Bittersweet

    It’s that feeling of tingle which fills your heart with sadness and at the same time sprinkles joy amidst the darkness. It’s similar to a dark moonlit night where there is the cover of darkness in the night but the subtle moonlight lingers on giving you hope and perspective.

    It’s the feeling when you have been waiting for something to happen but also half wish that it would happen later than sooner. Like losing a loved one to a long fought terminal illness, fallout with a beloved friend which is irrevocable or the empty nest which you want to stay filled with the conversations and laughter of your children.
