Relationships......

WHAT KEEPS A RELATIONSHIP STRONG ARE:

1. TRUST
2. COMMUNICATION
3. INTIMACY
4. A SENSE OF HUMOR
5. SHARING TASKS
6. SOME GETAWAY TIME WITHOUT BUSINESS OR CHILDREN
7. DAILY EXCHANGES (meal, shared activity, hug, call, touch....)
8. SHARING COMMON GOALS AND INTERESTS
9. GIVING EACH OTHER SPACE TO GROW WITHOUT FEELING INSECURE
10. GIVING EACH OTHER A SENSE OF BELONGING AND ASSURANCES OF COMMITMENT


How many ever times I read this, I feel so good. When I see any two people with such strong relationship, I feel great and inspired. That tells me that it is not just theory, but can be practiced.

Malarum ninaivugal!

I had to drop my mother in the temple and go to Ganapathi nagar yesterday. I went through Vibhuthi street. Sometimes, it is really amazing that a road, a board can just rekindle the past so much. As I crossed the 'Parthasarathy hotel' and the house next to it, memories poured in. I wanted to stop and take a photo of it with my mobile camera, for this blog. But vehicles behind were honking. So had to move on.

But those were days which I don't think will ever come back in life. Days when I studied with my brother together the whole day, where we charted out plans for the day, for the week and for the semester.......! How hard we worked, but still with so much joy. Oh, nostalgic!

Beyond imperfections!

I like this song for its lyric and music.
Listen to it here: Angadi theru - music by G V Prakash
This is a beautiful song because its about looking beyond imperfections...
I guess many wonders in human relationships work only because of such a perspective!

Happy Friendship day!

There were times when I used to think that in any relationship, there should be reciprocation, otherwise there is no point in continuing such a relation..., but at that time, you popped up and said "no......even if you don't give me, I am here to give you because I care for you"!

I wish I would never forget this precious lesson that I learnt from you ever.

This picture just reminds me of you Neha!  It just reminds me of that soup you made for me and delivered it at my room when I was ill, inspite of the fact that I was angry with you!
I miss those days of our togetherness!

Happy friendship day dear friend!
Although I have many more friends, I think you are the one who influenced me the most, especially because of your patience. And I think you don't even know it :-)!

But now if you ask me, to describe one such characteristic of every friend I have, I can't.....because if I investigate too much, I just end up realizing that I don't have to have a reason to like someone....I just love my friends because they make me happier by just being there! And yes, with every friend, the best part is the fight we had..!
Don't you too think so friends...;-)?!

Thank you all, for making this life a better one!

Happy Friend's day!

For someone special.......

This blog is dedicated to my friend who is leaving abroad today to do her Ph.D

I remember our first encounter. We met in one corner of NBRC. Then, we were put up together in one room. Both of us were so reserved that it took us atleast two weeks to get along well. We sat together and talked about the rules of our room. That was the first time I was impressed with you, because you were someone of my own frequency. Small misunderstandings, little fights.., we did have...without which any relationship would be incomplete.

We never picked faults of each other. Whenever there was a misunderstanding, we sat and talked with each other and sorted it out. Whenever I was ill (which I often was), you served me like my mother. You never interfered in any of my matters. We lived together as though we were at home.

You always understood my situations. Whenever I was in an embarassing situation, you rescued me by just getting away from the situation. You never questioned me as to why was I silent or biased....Hey, you thought, I did not notice your such gestures....:-) . I did.

You are one of the very few amazing persons I have ever met.

Bon voyage dear friend. I wish that this milestone of your life contribute the most to your success and prosperity.
