The beauty of relationships :-)

This is perhaps an ode to all my friends and cousins. They are the people who helped me understand the beauty of relationships :-)

You know how any relationship is formed ? It is formed out of 'respect'. And how do you know if someone is respectful towards you or not ? Simply by the way they 'respond to you (i.e. your words and actions)'. Secondly, the beauty of any relationship is in the depth of character and not in the length of time. Clashes and misunderstandings are part of any relationship, but double-standards are not :-)

A respectful relationship is respectful. Period. With that, I just mean that a person who doesn't want to give you enough time over phone while she/he calls you for her/his "certain requirement from you" while you silly-ly try to tell some random things about your life, if the same person praises you Highly on your Facebook timeline, it is a clear sign of double-standard. And I make sincere efforts to stay dis-connected with such people :P hehe :D

You know what beautiful relationships are ? They are the ones that have fought together, cried together, broke bonds together, and yet came back together and made peace, with the same simplicity as they left. Above all, beautiful relationships start with mutual-respect for each other, for who the person is, and NOT "how the person can benefit me, and in how many ways". And honestly, relationships don't take time to build, they just take honesty, trust, and mutual-respect, to build.

Love.
