Relationships

Any relationship begins with a smile. When you see a person not having a smile, lend them one of yours. Any relationship becomes stronger and healthier with courtesy. It is always possible to maintain a courteous relationship with everyone in this society. Be it a person from our family, friends, colleagues or even strangers, courtesy enhances the goodness of the relationship. There are a few spells which can solve any mishap in a relationship. These terms are not as magical as we consider them to be. They are simple but their echoes are truly big as said by Mother Teresa. "Sorry", "Thank you" and "Please" are those abra-ca-dabra terms. The usage of these terms have become a part and parcel of our life. But the effect of these spells are felt the most only when they are uttered with courtesy at heart. Most of us feel that, courtesy is not important once a relationship gets established. We must be careful enough, as, at any point of the time, we must not take the other person for granted. Understanding the other person is the next important thing. What is necessary is co-existence and not survival of the fittest. We must be able to take forward the relationship, with the diversity we have in the form of habits and beliefs. Giving the other person, the space for existence and respecting their individuality, nourishes the relationship further. Trust is the framework upon which any relationship is built. Never break a promise and always admire the other person. Express your thoughts and be open-minded. Give an assurance that the person is always in your sight, be any situation for that matter. But let this not become monitoring. Simple acknowledgments and surprises can induce more value in the relationship leading to more longing for each other.

Relationships are Puzzling.. Not unresolvable..
