Communication in relationships- Connecting beyond the usual habitual ways.

- February 02, 2018

💬 C ommunication in relationships- Connecting beyond the usual habitual ways 📝 Would you agree when I say that we generally connect with people in whom we see certain value or with whom we click instantly ? It’s the socialising way each one of us takes in general . Socialising is an aspect of the basic human nature which satisfies our “feeling of belonging” … being a part of an operative society. We hit it off immediately when we share the same wavelength with someone. From there we start weaving our relationship bond. All of us present ourselves with our own preferred habitual ways and styles of communication (verbal, written or other). Cooking the words in our mind, we then use our five senses to express them. We all know that besides love and attachment, a long term “alive” and healthy relationship works and thrives around certain values that are widely acknowledged like Honesty, Trust, Respect, Loyalty, Partnership (freedom and

Curiosity- Follow it, Chase it... Keep the spark alive.

CURIOSITY- Follow it, Chase it... Keep the spark alive Curiosity is a powerful human quality that leads us to new discoveries and destinations. It makes our mind active and observant. All of us operate with a mind which is like a “ question popping machine ” with questions/doubts that keep generating like sparks every now and then. Searching answers and quenching our curious thirst is what each one of us does all the time. The knowledge won’t come to us… we need to acquire it. Curiosity is our innate quality which we can enhance with time. Many people with their passionate curiosity and varied interests are always hungry for more knowledge without any specific purpose in mind. Some people may have their own prospective like, “what’s in for me (benefit/ importance)” while feeding their curiosity. While some other people may be ju

Life Satisfaction- Fulfillment of our purposes.

Life Satisfaction- Fulfillment of our purposes 👶→👦👧→👨👩→👫→👪→👴👵 What is the purpose of our life … have you ever wondered? Don't our dreams, desires, ambitions or goals attach a purpose, a meaning to our life? There should be “ something ” that we wish/want to achieve throughout our life or else it will be so dull and boring. Wanting to fulfill our "purpose" motivates us to set a target for ourselves to reach and meet. It puts us on a mission, helps us focus and makes our life challenging and exciting…. also thrilling, depending on what we want from life!! Our purpose makes us productive and most of us meticulously walk on our self-chosen path with “self-confidence, own desired pace and strong belief” to attain the satisfaction (fulfillment) that our mind wants and our heart desires. Big or small, some or many… all of us do have dreams and desires. Many people also have what they call a “bucket list” to tick.

Appreciation - Our greatest emotional craving.

- November 04, 2017

👏👌👍😊 APPRECIATION – Our greatest emotional craving. 👏👌👍😊 All of us not only have our very own way and style of showing appreciation but also have discrete desires and expectations when it comes to getting appreciated. Why is it that we tend to selfishly (thinking only about our benefit) appreciate people and care less about selfless appreciation? Can’t we admire the efforts of our dear one/friend/acquaintance genuinely? Reciprocating the feelings is equally important. “Give and take” makes life purposeful and assures us that we are not taking/ taken for granted. “Appreciation” what the theory says is recognizing and enjoying the good qualities of someone or something. It is about cherishing and valuing what we have in our life. Appreciation is an act of feeling, admiring and acknowledging the efforts put in by people(known/unknown) around us. A “Thank you” is the basic way to appreciate and show ou

Arranged marriage and its flaws.

👫💖💑 ARRANGED MARRIAGE AND ITS FLAWS.💞 Isn't arranged marriage the biggest relationship gamble, a puzzle, a guessing game that both families play? Truly it depends on luck, their faith and belief that “marriages are made in heaven”. It is interesting to note that we are taught our entire life not to believe in strangers and suddenly we find ourselves with a stranger with whom we are expected to spend the next entire life with. Mine was an arranged marriage. When my marriage was fixed , I was surely excited, but, I also had feelings of anxiety, fear, confusion, cold feet all at the same time. Arranged marriages and the way they are fixed and executed have seen a lot of improvements in the last many years. In the earlier days, childhood marriages were very common. The couple grew together in their innocence not knowing then the meaning of love or even having the age maturity to understand the

Reputation - It decides our value and worth.

- October 06, 2017

👉👉👉 REPUTATION 👩👨 Don’t we live in a world where we need to build, maintain and protect our reputation? Good reputation opens wider doors for us. It is the sad truth that status and reputation is highly recognized in today's world. It is especially important to build a trustworthy and reliable professional reputation as that very much adds to the success in our career. It takes quite some time and lot of efforts to build our positive reputation in the market. Our reputation decides our value and our worth at our work place. We would be lying when we, common working people say, “I don’t care what anyone says or thinks about me”. We may say this many times but do we really mean it? We are tied up with the professional pressures and are forced to abide the rules. Most of us resist change and don’t have the courage to put our earned reputation at risk. For most of us, our overall work image and reputation at the time of retirement
