Happily Ever After....

-
Ever since I can remember, through cartoons, stories or fables we are always told that love is important. That love is why we are here. Love for our parents, children, siblings and the most important our better half or significant other if you will. Most of us spend our entire lives seeking this very phenomenon. We see this in movies, sit coms and even in animation films for children. Beauty and beast, Cinderella, Snow White..... they all end in the notion of Happily Ever After....

But is there such a thing.....

I have seen couples together for all the wrong reasons. Habit is the most prominent reason i.e. Couple has been together for four years will end up spending their lives together. But how often do you know that those couples have been happy once the fairy dust of a new relationship clears. I can see couples heading towards a wall at break neck speed. You know they are making a mistake but you have to stand on the side lines and wait for them to meet their fate. No one can make these decisions for you.... You are your Master!!!!

But I know of couples who have been together for the past 8 to 10 years and they it feels like they meet for the first time yesterday. The love is fresh... there is a look in the mans eye every time she walks into the door. A passion that steams between them and you know will never die. Each one striving everyday to better each other and themselves for each other; in turn bring out the best in each other.

Not everyone is as lucky... While everyone is destine to meet someone and share their lives not all of us are meant to be with that special someone. Some of us are meant to be alone and walk through the journey of life along with your friends and family as your support. Its a difficult road.... but knowing that you haven't settled for less. Knowing that everyday is a new day and it YOURS not anyone else's makes it worthwhile.

And who knows along the way you may find your KNIGHT IN SHINING ARMOUR or PRINCESS....

That Sweet Moment!

I walked out of a shopping mall the other day and I saw my ex - ex employer. They were standing next to a tapri having a glass of chai with a smoke. This would have been my reality had I still been working for hotels. There was this sweet moment when they saw me; where I looked into their eyes and smiled know deep down I am in a much better place than they are today, even though they held superior positions to me within the organisation at the time.  While I was an employee, often times I was bullied by the senior members and not in a good way. There was a lot of discrimination partly because I was a girl and partly because someone found out that I came from a upper middle class household. It wasn't a fare game anymore. There was a rejoinder to every statement and a comment to every answer. To the point that it lead me to give them my resignation, Thus ending my career with the hotel trade.  I loved working in hotels. The staff, the energy, the synergy, the team work i...

The Rude Customer

Ever met a customer, who looks at you like you are lesser than a human being. Talks to you like you are stupid. Demands things from you like you are meant to do them. It feels like you standing with your lunch tray in hand at the cool kids table and they are mocking you.... Feels like high school all over again... When we were in high school we tried everything in our power to stay away from the cool kids (thats if you weren't one). You knew that if you tried you would get mocked at, ridiculed... so we would save ourselves the embarrassment and mind our own business. But now we have grown up and you have made something of yourself or on your way to it. You think you have grown up, matured and think we have left the queen bees and the jocks behind, because you have bigger things in life to worry about like mortgages and marriage and business etc. But has it really changed?? I think not! Its just a little different now, the only difference being you aren't in school or c...

You Are The Most Important Person In Your Life!

"Be 100% committed to anything you do." This is something we have grown up hearing from our parents, teachers etc. We hence, tend to over commit. We give so much of ourselves to aspects of our lives be it our companies, parents, friends, relationships etc. So when things don't work out we get so disheartened it almost destroys us sometimes. Is it worth it I ask? Someone recently told me "You are the most important person to you, everyone else comes a close second." This shocked me! What are you telling me that my parents, my to be husband, my work isn't suppose to come before me. Isn't that being selfish. No! Thats exactly what it doesn't mean. This doesn't mean I am insensitive or aloof. It means I take care of myself first so that I can take care of others when needed. I will still be there physically and mentally and our relationship; whatever it maybe; will still exists but I will be a more secure me mentally. So you get the best version o...
