I was closed to both of them but talked more with my mother. Being the eldest my mother gave me more importance, (you know the elders are more useful for bringing things from market than the younger lot).

But jokes apart I was her favorite and she talked to me more. My father was reserved in nature but he was too kind to my only sister 4 years…[Read more]

I generally make a friend very carefully and wouldn’t break it easily but if I would ever want to part with a friend I would probably talk to them first and clarify the matter first and if I still feel the friendship is not worth I would call it a quiet without any hesitation.

I try to be a friend to anyone.  It breaks my heart ending a friendship.  But if I have been terribly hurt,  I stay away for awhile. If the friendship survives despite the time of being far away fron each other then it’s fine.  But the trust won’t be the same again.

I used to call my mum as Ma and when I felt too excited I would call her Amma but my father was always a Papa and I used to call him Papa JI. Here Ji is sign of respect in our part of the world and we use it after names to anyone whom we respect.

I paid my full respect to my parents until they lived in this world. Yes they both have gone to meet their maker now. I don’t say I was ever treated  harshly or not provided necessary thing to me but I have faced some eager moments in my life too. However, I tried my best to pay as much respect to my parents as I could.

When I was a child, my mom used to beat us a lot. She was always nervous and she was never in a good mod. My brother was spared from time to time, but I would be punished instead of him. Today, when I am a mother, I understand why she did that. She was way too busy with work, home and two kids. It was not easy for her. She helps me a lot now with…[Read more]

I can honestly say that I have always tried to be the best daughter for my parents.  But along the way,  there had been bumps which has tattered my being thevperfect daughter. Neverthekess,  even aftdr being married for 22 years,  I still give full respect to my parents. For all the things that I have caused them,  I now try to spare them from…[Read more]

my mom didn’t set a good example when i was a young kid.

Hence, it is obviously that i wouldn’t listen to her since I knew what she did was wrong.

Although my dad was wrong too, he kept his temper from showing.

That, I respected him.

Problem is if we don’t honor them when they are old, who will?

Being in love really gives you happy days and lonely days but it is just part of the imperfect relationship. I guess what makes me learned from past relationship is trust. I need to give trust to my partner because if I am doubting him always, he will get bored with me and might not put trust on me too. I also learned to give not only to receive.

My last relationship taught me that saying I love you is not enough. Relationship should be 50/50, comes with give and take, caring, respect, communication, and accepting. I was in a relationship where “I love you” is like paying rent or paying insurance monthly, repeatedly said but all hollow. There was only one sided and the taker takes, then…[Read more]
