 Relationship – the word itself holds a lot of memories. Every relationship seems perfect and happier in the beginning. But with time, when the relationship grows, something goes wrong and we don’t know what and we all feel lost inside but never find out why. Just think of the time when we become friends with someone or committed in a relationship, or having new colleagues around us, think of the things we did at that time – the initial stages of relationship. We would be so understanding, caring and appreciate them for whatever they did even when we don’t know who they really are. But with time, when we actually understood them and know them for whom they are and when our relationship becomes closer, we just forget to appreciate them for the things they do and start complaining everything about them. And that is when the relationship becomes bitter and fights grow bigger. How many times have we yelled at our mom for making our breakfast late? How many times have we shouted at our da

  Are we really happy with how our life is right now? Are we really doing what we wanted to do? Are we really satisfied with life and want nothing more from it?

We all think, or at least like to think, that we are being ourselves and doing what we really like to do. But is that the truth? Most of the time, we change ou

Have you ever promised someone that you would never change in your life, that you would stay the same no matter what happens? Have you ever wished someone to stay the same and not to change for anyone else? Have you ever wonder why people change all of sudden and act like they are no more the person you once know? If yes, this is for you… We all think that changing is something forbidden, changing is something that we are not supposed to do. When we meet someone after years or months, and when they say ‘OMG, you have not even changed a bit, you are still the same person’, we consider it as a compliment. But it isn’t. And when they say, ‘OMG, you are so much changed, I don’t even recognize who you are’, the next second we defend ourselves like ‘oh no, I haven’t changed, maybe we haven’t seen for so long, so you would have forgotten’. But is that how we should be? Should we always deny who we are? We all wish to remain the same; we all wish our life to remain the same as it was when
