Recent trip to Rishikesh with few friends just proved how important it is for couples to take a vacation together before getting committed.
I would rather travel with someone who doesn’t share my interests than someone who wouldn’t let me follow mine..
I wonder if I should admire people who avoid conflict at any cost or should I pity them? Their life is being decided by somebody else and all they do is make excuses..
Too Bad.. Life is so much more fun when you get to do things your way..

What have you learned from your past n present relationships?

Today I found an interesting mail in my inbox, asking me to jot down all my learning from past relationships.. Now I could’ve just sent this as reply but thought it would make a rather interesting post.. And instead of all, I’ll jot top 10.. I think they collectively cover a lot
So here’s what I’ve learned in past decade..
1. Never take anyone for granted and Never let anyone take you for granted.
2. Never let anyone dictate your life and Never dictate someone else’s life.
Its just so easy to fall in these patterns. And one day you wake up realizing you’ve lost respect for the other or yourself.
3. Be honest.
Its better to lose a relationship in beginning than later because you fudged few things.
4. Be open about each others hang-ups.
We all have some. Accept them and if you can’t, discuss them.
5. Be supportive, at all times.
It’s one thing to agree with a decision, another to support your partner through a bad one. If they want to listen to your told-you-so, they can as well go, visit their parents.
6. Never ever disrespect each other’s families. But if there’s a genuine problem, discuss with your partner before taking an action.
Fine, they are as nice as you would like them to be. But still respect them. However, make sure this doesnt mean your losing your self-esteem.
7. Respect each other’s space and boundaries.
8. Don’t get jealous over small things. For big things, tell your partner what’s bothering you and why.
9. Don’t patronize them.
You can’t keep on treating the other person as child all the time.
10. Don’t lose the laughter.
The day you stop laughing together is the day you doom your relationship

So for me the key has been communication. Most of the times, things ended ‘coz we were not listening to each other, just hearing what we wanted to.

Damn this Age…

You know you are old when you mention you are covered in chocolate to your guy and all he says is, ‘But why on earth you are baking at this hour?’
‘Aarggh’

I bet, had I said the same couple of years back, reply would’ve been sooo different..
Ah the good old days..

He said.. She said..

“She was looking nice today”
“Yeah!”
“I wish I could look like that”
“hmmm”
“You think she looks better than me”
“Whhaaatt??”

If someone chose to be with you, they did so because they wanted to. You are the most gorgeous person ever for them. Don’t doubt their decision because of your own insecurities.

She said.. He said..

She asked about his day.
He mumbled a reply.
She asked if they should go out for dinner.
He said he was tired.
She asked if he has found someone new
He said “Huh!!!!”

Just because Bozo can’t be bothered with dinner tonight doesn’t mean he’s cheating on You.. Give it a Rest..
Wait til you find lipstick on his collar and if you do, just kick him out. No point confronting him..
