Unwritten Rules of Middle Class

  I feel the middle class is the most disturbed class in India. Let us take, for example, the latest case of the pandemic - Corona, when everything was under lockdown. The rich were not bothered about anything, the poor had the Government to stand by them and provide free rationing and even financial help was given to them. What have I got as a middle-class person? I have no objection to the freebies being given, what I am concerned is that the Government should do something and think about the middle class too. What have I got as a middle-class person? Anyway, we as middle-class people have our own concerns and have unwritten rules that bind us; I wish to enlist a few of them: 1)        Money :  Since birth, we are taught that money is not to be spent, but managed. 2)       Education :      Parents will always tell their children “ Padh likh lo aur bade aadmi bano” i.e. education is crucial for climbing suc...

Failed Relationship Lessons

         “A  failed relationship  is a relationship that leaves you feeling as if you're worse off for having known that person. A relationship that ends is just a learning experience at worst and personal growth at best. Sometimes all you learn is what you don't want in a relationship, but it's still learning.” It is said that heartbreaks are the best teachers. Every relationship, whether good or bad, always has a lesson behind it. One can view each relationship as a time of personal growth and understanding. Breaking up with someone is never an easy thing to do. While there are a few  lessons you can learn from a breakup , it can still be a very lonely experience. When your relationship is officially over, you may sit alone and wonder whether you wasted your time or how you wish you could've done things differently. But instead of thinking of what you could've done, try to think about the lessons your broken relatio...

9 Reasons That Result In Failed Marriages, Ways To Prevent

  It is said marriages are made in heaven, they may be arranged or love marriages. But sometimes marriages fail despite the couple having lived together for many years. I have seen marriages breaking even after 30+ years of togetherness. And I have tried to analyze the reason 'Why Marriages Fail". Every married couple has one common wish—they want their marriage to work. Unfortunately, broken marriages are a sad reality because people do get divorced.   When two unknown people get married, there is a sense of uncertainty - the thought on both sides is , whether my partner will love me, will he take care of me or protect me from the evils of the world. It is on both sides. But when they start living together they begin to understand each other, they come to know each other’s nature, and sometimes their thoughts do not match. Husband thinks I am a man and earn, hence she has to do whatever I tell her to do. I bring money and by which she runs the house. The lady thinks I am...

Closed Lips - 5 Advantages of Remaining Silent

     Purposeful silence is a beautiful thing.      It is better to listen than talk.    Quiet people have a strong voice. These are not just simple words but have a deep meaning enclosed. They explain to us the importance of ‘Silence’ in our lives. In this chat let us discuss how  ‘ Silence’, besides giving our ears a break, has been shown to offer significant health advantages that boost overall well-being. ‘Silence’ has different meanings for different people, say, for example, Japanese people, consider silence as an essential form of non-verbal communication   —   it’s a sign of respect and personal distance for them. For Westerners, silence means something is wrong. They assume that, when people are quiet, it’s because they are doubtful, lonely, or suffering. Being a talkative person is okay, but  actively listening to others is also important. Some situations, such as work meetings may require you to be quiet...
