Respect Is All It Takes..

We always claim to love someone so dearly, yet somehow or rather hurt them. We love our parents, but argue with everything they have to say. We love our children with all our heart but don't even have time to sit with them.

'I love you', we say! But, do we really mean it? Is love alone sufficient for us to live "happily ever after"? What is love when we can't even sit together for a little while? What is love when greeting good morning and good night is all we do? How is the feeling 'love' reasonable enough to carry on with life? 

No! Mere love can't make us feel on cloud nine. For a little while; probably yes. Life-long? Certainly not! I'm not an anti-love person nor am I preaching the rest of the world to stop loving. I'm just stating a fact that many of us seem to turn a blind eye upon. 

Let's start from the basic. A husband and wife relationship that is solely based on love doesn't take eternity to last. When they start to develop respect for one another, that's when the relationship gets stronger. Simple things like listening to one another, acknowledging their interests, giving them space, giving a shoulder to lean on, encouraging them and receiving their ideas; defines respect in an unspoken way. These apply to all kind of relationships, not just among spouses! 


We state that we have respect for one another and would do anything to protect the ones we love. However, true respect doesn't lie between those lines. If you can't prove it, don't say it. Prove it and you'll never have to say it! 

We don't have to do something out of our capability or comfort zone. Simple gesture that comes from your heart is respect. Making them feel loved is one thing. It's never the same as making them feel important, though. If you are feeling committed to someone, treat them appropriately. Being serious about them and showing their importance is what respect actually is. 

Mere love is never enough. Respect is all it takes to live "happily ever after"! :)

The Beauty of 21st Century

Time and time again, the human mind never fails to allure me. It intrigues me how easily influenced our mind can be. Pessimistic influences from our peers are understandable at times; but we ourselves beguiling it? To say, "That's  beyond my understanding", is an understatement! More than that, it is surprisingly shocking to fathom how self-centred people have nurtured into. People are too beauty conscious and are always in pressure that society imposes. They let others define their beauty and this phenomenon, little by little, embeds into their subconscious mind. The way they look physically is never satisfying and, in turn, they gravitate to wanting more. A self-created image forms in the mind and they consistently keep comparing themselves to it. Flaws are the only trait that they see and calories are the only maths that they mastered in! Well, weighing scales, on the other hand, are the most dreaded equipment. Every time they stood in front of a mirror, they...

Why Suicide?

It blows my head off that we are almost heading towards the half-year mark. Doesn't time fly? Time simply flew and the olden days' memories stay fresh in our minds. Or rather, dark memories bug our soul! From the title itself you would have figured out that this is going to be either a controversial or a macabre topic.  I am indeed baffled with the multitudinous cases of suicides that made way to the headlines in no time. Of utmost honesty, I have read at least 9 cases of suicides in a matter of 3 months! My mind went on a roller coaster ride with limitless jerks and twists and turns. I started thinking, as always.  Why do people commit suicide?! That very question lead me to an extensive (approximately 2 months) research. After much needed browsing and readings, I would like to equate suicide to GIVE UP! People simply had given up love, hope, joy, trust, job, dignity, and most importantly; life. They get tired of facing failures, agitated with their...
