  There is a fable about three pigs,three brothers who build three houses of different materials. One day a Big Bad Wolf comes to hunt them down and tries to blow down their house to catch them. The Big Bad Wolf blows down the first two pigs' houses but is unable to destroy the third pig's house. Why? Because the first two brothers made houses of straw and sticks each while the third brother’s house was made of bricks. You must be thinking why am I telling you this, right? You see the relationships we build with the people we love, be it familial or romantic must be like the third brother’s house. Relationships built on trust and honesty go a long way and offer protection from the fiercest of wolves(people or situations) who come to blow down your house.  A house made of straws (lust or attraction) and a house made of sticks (greed or pretence) do not have a strong structure or foundation, they fall down eventually.  This pandemic has shown many of us what material our house

Have you learned how to ride a bicycle? It's a silly question, but just in case you haven’t you can still learn it now. Cause it is never too late to learn how to ride a bicycle actually. Same goes for love and relationships, there is no given age where you are "supposed" to fall in love, it just happens.Let me share a story, it is not a love story, mind you!  My 4 year old sister is learning to ride a bicycle. She loves to pedal fast and then crash into the well. She ain't shy of crashing into the well. Instead eveytime she crashes into the well, she lets out a giggle. So I taught her to slow down at the edge and apply brakes before the bicycle hits the well.However, I noticed that she stopped crashing into the well. And overtime she got scared of crashing into it. Why did I tell you this? Well when we fall in love for the first time we are not afraid of crashing into the well or of break ups. We are more occupied with the thrill and novelty of being in a relationsh

Someone amazing I know once told me, in a relationship your hands should clap not clasp.I was also wondering like you what she meant. It’s quite simple actually - You should complement each other, not complete each other. Not clear? Well when you and another person are complete both hands will come together making your hands clap (complementing each other).  And when your hands clasp you try to fill in the gaps between your fingers (try to complete each other), but when the other person leaves you are left incomplete once again.  Hmm... something we all have experienced right?! We have been taught, told and retold so many times and in so many different ways all the dreamy and ideal notions about love and relationships. When it comes to a concept like  love which is vague and abstract people get confused. Without some kind of order they don't feel at ease, because we have never been taught how to embrace chaos. There are no rules per se in love, actually, that's why they say ev

Some of us have long hair, some short, some have none. We all like to style our hair, tie it up or set it free. Even though there are prejudices and restrictions on growing hair on certain genders or in certain communities but in the end of the day it is that part of ourselves that we all love.  But have you noticed something special about your hair? Even if you do not like the way it was cut or styled over a period of time it grows back and in that period you learn to adjust and live with it. You find ways of tricking yourself and others into believing it looks good on you. Whether you like it or not at first it grows on you, and eventually you learn to manage it as well.  Imagine this pandemic as that unwanted or disastrous haircut you had, don’t worry you will learn to manage it and some of us are already doing so.  Just like your hair, you will also grow out of this unwanted hairstyle. But you need to have patience and take good care of yourself. For having good, healthy hair you n
