Did curiosity just kill the relationship?

They say curiosity is a virtue. We were taught in school to be curious—ask as many questions as you have, no matter how stupid they might sound. But no one warned us that too much curiosity might lead to asking your date, “What holds clouds up in the sky?”—right in the middle of your first kiss.

Connected, But Not Close: Instant Modern Love

In my dating time, we would fight over whose turn it was to do the cooking or dishes. But these days, I see young couples supposedly in love fight over the last time someone was online, the angle of an Instagram selfie, or why a message was read (blue ticked!) but not replied to. I was recently sitting

Are Relationships Really That Complex? I Don’t ThinK So!

Relationships are tough and complicated—you’ve probably heard this many times, and you likely believe it too. But are relationships truly complex? A recent conversation with a close friend got me thinking: are relationships genuinely difficult, or do we just hide behind the idea of complexity and never try to break it down? Isn’t it easier

Love

Can you create a space where your love stays true forever?

Last night, I was binge-watching episodes of the latest season of “Black Mirror” to combat one of the worst insomnia spells I have had so far. Episode 3 of season 7, “Hotel Reverie,” is hands-down the most beautiful-looking episode Black Mirror has ever made. An homage to classic black-and-white cinema, its aesthetic is first expertly

Can there be “healthy jealousy” in a relationship?

Jealousy is probably one of the only emotions that is common amongst all of us, believe it or not, I personally feel, jealousy is an emotion that we have felt most in our lives. It’s normal, it’s ok to be jealous but can it be labeled as an “healthy emotion”? When I was a teenager

Relationships

The world has changed, you have to accept it

Last weekend, after an intense work week, I met an old friend for drinks at one of my favourite places where the food is crappy as jail but the vibe is as relaxing as it gets. We indulged in the usual banter, some work talk, some life talk and then we went on to discuss

Love

It all starts with a kiss

This is the season of mistletoe kiss, one of the most romantic times of the year when you forget the stress and focus on romance. As a woman who lives in a big city and comes from a small town, Netflix virtually promises that I should be meeting cute guys throughout the month of December.

Institution of Marriage is Dead Already, Let It Rest in Peace

We need to get married, it’s required, it’s unavoidable and it’s expected once you cross 25. I was raised to believe it, it’s what my parents wanted, it’s what society expected, failure to do so would be calling upon the wrath of all those aunties and uncles who have lived their entire lives “trying to

Can you really know someone perfectly?

One day, sitting across the dining table that you shared with someone for 20 years, eating the same pancakes that you make every sunday, you start wondering, “do I really know this person?” The thought comes to your mind because last night your partner came late and directly went to sleep without discussing how the

It’s really very easy to forget someone, trust me!

We all are filling voids in someone’s story of life. You could be someone’s best friend, soulmate or love of life, until someone else better than you comes along to fill that void. Then you just become an ex, someone to remember for a while and then forgotten as time passes. Everyone in the world
