Sharing ... Open up!!

-

We regularly share thoughts with acquaintances, in our personal and professional life. On a basic level, it can be relieving and liberating. Being mindful about what is at stake and who is there to receive the sharing is extremely pertinent.

Sharing with the right person can create magic. There is no right thumbrule for sharing. sometimes it takes the right moment and favourable circumstances to open up.

Many of us hesitate to express our opinions or stories for too long. Sharing our emotions can build courage, but doubt and insecurity often lurk beneath the surface. Don’t let these fears dominate your confidence and destroy your comfort. As mentioned earlier, sharing with the right person can create magic. You’ll realize how much energy you’ve been wasting by holding back your inner feelings. While you might face judgment, you’ll also discover that the fear of being judged was painful and ultimately out of your control.

Sharing your emotions is like lifting a heavy weight off your shoulders. Don’t let fear hold you back.

Love ... essence of life

-
A few days ago, while dining in a restaurant,  I met a perfect looking graceful couple, celebrating fifty years of marriage. When I asked them the secret to their enduring love, they simply said, "We still hold hands." It was a poignant reminder that love, often expressed in the most subtle ways, is the cornerstone of a fulfilling life. As a woman born in the late '60s, my journey with love has been a long and winding one. As a child, I found solace in the unconditional love of my family. My parents, with their unwavering support and gentle guidance, instilled in me a deep sense of security and belonging. Teenage years brought the whirlwind of youthful infatuation, fuelled by the romantic tales of Bollywood. I remember the thrill of those first crushes, and the heart-pounding excitement of a stolen glance. True love, however, blossomed with my husband. Our partnership, built on mutual respect, understanding, and a shared sense of humour, has weathered countless storms. Th...

Invest ... in emotions

-
We all strive for a fulfilling life, and at the heart of such a life are strong, nurturing relationships. As emotional beings, our feelings guide us. Can we harness these emotions to enhance our lives? This is where emotional investment comes into play. Emotional investment is about giving and receiving without expecting much in return. We invest emotionally when we love and care for someone, connecting on a deeper level through active listening, openness, shared interests, and creating lasting memories. It also involves respecting each other's differences and quirks—whether they are our spouse, friends, parents, or children. These shared moments, especially the humorous ones, become cherished memories that strengthen our emotional bonds. Much like financial investments, emotional investments are made with the hope of future returns. Both types of investments carry risks and rewards and benefit from a long-term perspective. While not every emotional investment will yield significan...

Friends ... siblings God never gave us

-
It was a couple of days ago that I flipped through my mobile's gallery, and smiling faces of friends popped up. The pictures made me pause and reflect upon the steadfast friendships that have been a cornerstone in my life. Each picture transported me to times gone by, reminding me of an incredibly unique bunch of friends who have made this journey of mine so special. There's this saying: "Friends are the siblings God never gave us." They are the family we choose, and they shape our personalities in an amount no one can ever think of. Friendship, the purest form of love, knows no caste, no culture, and no appearance. And quite rightly so, when our bad habits tally, our good friends are born. Common quirks often form the base of strong bonds, and that's when the magic of friendship unfolds. Some friends came with my life partner, and others came with my children. Sometimes, I even think that my children's friends are mine, since these friends have played an ...
