Ankur's Road to Recovery continued..

My friend and colleague Ankur Tanwar is hospitalized and is in a critical condition. It all happened last Friday when he was working late in the office and suddenly he fainted due to severe headache. 

He was immediately rushed to the nearby hospital where doctor's informed it's a brain hemorrhage and arterial blockage and they need to operate it as soon as possible. His main artery has been shrunk from 10 mm to 3 mm. His first surgery has been done but to recover completely two more surgeries are required.  He's currently in ICU at City Hospital, Saket. The total amount for the surgeries is around 30 lakhs, his family has arranged 5 lakhs as of now and are still short of 25 lakhs. 

He's a wonderful person and he himself believes in charity and has done a lot of work for non-profitable organizations. And now he needs our help and I think we should do our bit to save him.

Why Fighting Can Be Good for Your Relationship

I know you must be thinking how fighting can be healthy in any relationship. Right? Well, really it is not that bad either.

The simplest and the first logic says 'No TWO people are the same' hence it is obviously difficult to adjust with the other, but sometimes the feelings are so true and strong that you just can't afford to let that person go. So, if you guys are fighting then take it this way: While mixing two materials the reaction between them could generate heat, like it happens in any chemical reaction. Just try to add some chemistry in your relationship! I hope you must have understood by now what I'm trying to say because I am pretty good with Chemistry and I can explain it with fairly good numbers of chemical reactions too.  

        

My second logic goes like this: If you are fighting with your partner it is not because you want to get away from him/her, well that's because you do not like something about the situation and you have full right to tell them that you're not happy as you cannot fake as well. So it's fair enough to have a disagreement sometimes. Here's a little tip from my side that whenever you fight kindly don't lose hope of getting back together because if there's no hope, there's no way. After all, if you can love, kiss, cuddle then disagreements & conflicts comes along with the package and you guys have to deal with it and sort it out, together.

         

If you guys are fighting then it's no big deal because as my third logic implies, it's good to know the dark side of your partner as well so as to know what extent he/she can go while fighting. If he/she's abusing you then you should stop him/her right away because as per my personal experience if there's no respect for each other then there's nothing much left in a relationship. You should not lose your cool over petty issues and there's no room for abuse or violence. Just peace out, lovers.

         

Now the final one and trust me the most cutest logic is: You should have the genuine perception about your partner and if that leads to some kind of argument or cold war then it's okay because later when you guys talk, trust me that will definitely become one of the best conversations. It is that phase where you open your heart and say things more clearly and even accept it lovingly as you have to compensate for the time you lost where you guys didn't talk at all. Inside, you're dying to hear something from him/her so when that happens you giggle a little, curse a bit, and realize how crazily in love you are with him/her. Well I call it 'sleeping phase' in which lovers take rest from each other and when both of them wake up, they feel fresh and more loving.

                  

So next time whenever you guys end up in some kind of argument, don't worry. Keep calm and remember to keep the flame of hope burning, maintain respect and kick start the conversation again. And tell your partner honestly what bothers you and if you think that will make you look clingy, well that's not. Trying to workout things with your lovey-dovey is pretty cool and if you're the first one to start the conversation keeping your ego aside then you're definitely going to earn some respect from your partner as well.

The Gift of Friendship

Friendship, well I am writing on this topic because one of my readers suggested me to try my hand on it so this is especially for you. Since primary school, I had so many friends in life but very few are with me at this time. Today I was listening to radio and there was a fact which they mentioned in their show which was “91% of best-friends don’t even talk to each other as they grow up” which was very true.

As we are growing old, everyone is getting busy in their life and with their work that they do they don’t have enough time for a 2-minute conversation with their friends anymore. But do you really think is it the time which is separating us? Well, I would say it is all about priorities we set for people in life.

When we were in school, we used to talk to our school friends and then when we came to college, we talk to our college friends and so on. But we always forget about the past, about the things we shared with our old friends. As an old saying “OLD IS GOLD” but now days we just fold those days, rather than we should have a hold on those people and time.
Friends are the most fun loving, caring people one can have in their life. This strange bond can become even stronger than any other relationship. But for that we need to give time, just time to it. I would say those who have at least one good friend in their life, are the luckiest people. So always, make your friends feel special just by spending some time at a coffee shop or 2-minute phone conversation. Because I noticed, one thing, which ruins friendship most of the times, is “misunderstanding”. And they do not even confront their mistakes. One of my teachers who teach me project management always says one should talk if they want to solve all the conflicts. And I totally agree with her. Life is too short to waste, so solve all the issues in life and no need to hold onto it for long.

We always expect the other person to talk first, so be that one, and start over the conversation once again and enjoy life.
