Recently, I had been chatting with my
bestie...
And he casually said : loved your smile
Me : Where did you see that?
He : In the DP
And since I was joking around, I abruptly
wrote a shayari which kind of represented with the situation.
"Ek zamana tha
Ek zamana tha
jab dosto ek dusre Ko milke smile dete the
Aab ye zamana hai
Aab ye zamana hai
Ki DP dekh ke hi smile Kar lete hai".
This holds so true these days....
How often do we meet people or our friends?
We say, we are connected but have you ever
thought, how?
We do stay connected but majority of the
times we remember, when we need.
The need can be emotional, physical,
materialistic or seeking a connect!
So, what comes to my mind is this; is this
friendship? Is this a relation or just a connect?
A relation is just like a plant, you need
to nurture it with love, patience, understanding and empathy. If it's not
nurtured, it stays as mere connect...
And connect is always there as a means of
barter, services or self benefit.
Some quick tips to nurture relations, they
can be your friend, parents, spouse, child, in-laws, sisters and sister in
law's ....
1..Call them instead of dropping a message.
2..Wear a smile while you talk.
3..Talk DilSe and not just for the hack of
talking.
4..Plan a surprise visit to them.
5..Take care of their special occasions and
moments such as birthdays, health , their personal achievements, marriage anniversary
and sometimes cater to their
moods too, as you are a friend and remember- a friend is never judgemental.
If you find that you are not able to cope
up with that, take your time , the other person understands too and remember,
it's a two way traffic ....so the other person is trying too.
So let's give a hi-fi and start it anew...
Every relationship has a strong emotional
bond, nurture it ...you will love to see it blossom and so will be the other
person.
I fully agree... i Manage to keep the relationship alive by doing all that u just mentioned. And it works..!! For sure..!

Thank you !
DeleteIt is nicely explained with useful tips.
ReplyDeleteWhile there are many aspects but the major one I think is if our relationship is based on a personal need, it is not going to last very long. Once the need is fulfilled, on a physical level or emotional level, the mind looks for something else, somewhere else. However if the relationship comes from the level of sharing, then it can last longer.
Besides ego, expectations, insensitivity, too much sensitivity are most common factors which causes bitterness.
So true - small things may lead to huge gaps in the relationship
DeleteFurther, I wish to give some tips on improving Relationships: –
ReplyDeletea) Every person desires to be treated lovingly and simple kindness can inspire kindness in return.
b) Intimacy cannot thrive without contact. Making time for those important to you, demonstrates the depth of your feeling. Try to take few moments to reach out and make efforts to establish contacts.
c) Positive thoughts and deeds inspire love, honesty and respect. Negativity can only cause stress in relationships.
d) Share not only laughter, but the tears as well. In doing so you will become richer in spirit.
e) Conflict is a natural part of relationships. Focus on creating balanced compromise rather than winning or losing argument.
f) Feeling of irritation, anger and frustration flourish when you remain silent. Give voice to your emotions as they arise, using neutral, non-accusatory statements. Make your feelings clear.
g) Being hurt by someone you care for is one of the life’s greatest sorrows, but forgiveness is one of the great joys. Practice forgiveness to ease the strain on relationships that have been put to test – it will bring peace to your soul.
Thank you for adding some more tips , Ravindraji
