Relationships - 2

Its generally believed that relationships are based on trust. I have a slightly different take on this. Relationships are based more on small tiffs, though trust is the underlying foundation for any relation to succeed. Misunderstandings and petty quarrels bring two people closer.

Does that mean we keep fighting to make our relationship stronger?
The answer is a strict NO. That may just make matters worse. You need to have a tradeoff between the two. In different walks of life, you need to strike a perfect balance between the options available.

Most of the quarrels start because of increased expectations, most of which cannot be fulfilled. Does quarelling over them for hours together really help? Sometimes, it certainly does but most of the times, it doesnt. Misunderstandings cleared amicably dont generally leave a scar behind.

Does scolding or hitting a child always help you to make him mend his ways? Explain him with proper affection, assure him that you are always there, give him the required support, and see the results. Our heart is also like a kid. U need to handle it with proper care and remove the junk off it, thus maintaining its charm.

Thus, why waste this beautiful life given by god in such trivial things? We might as well use it aptly to explore new relations and take efforts to make the existing relations stronger. A pleasant mind and heart will always help you to succeed in all your endeavours.

How effective is the media?

How effective is our media? Everyday, we see the increasing commercialisation of the Media industry!

Let us take the recent example of the 5 year old who was in a pit which was almost 40 feet deep. All the channels were covering the same event for 50 hours.

What about the other important news? And then you have the "masala" that the news channels add to the main content. Even after devoting so much time to the incident, different channels came up with different models of the hole, that was dug to rescue the kid.

Even newspapers had the news on the first page, but different pictures to reveal the plan behind the rescue operation. LOL!!!
The Media, probably the best industry so far, is moving towards the bad bad world of commercialisation.

Should the quality of news be compromised just for publicity?

Relationships - 1

My first blog is on relationships. Relationships, be it any kind - friend, sibling, parents are an important part of everyone's lives.

Some relations are forced to you and you dont have a choice while some others you make by choice. Irrespective of the type of relation, you need to show certain amount of interest, liking to keep a relation going.

Maintaining a relation is as important as clearing your matriculation exam. Most of the people dont realise this and thus, fail.
