I think every time we meet someone who makes our heart feel like a puddle of mush, we’re struck by this question, “Is he/she the one?” We want to know if this person in question is the forever we’ve been waiting for.

Because friendship, I believe, can never be replaced by any other relationship. And Ashok Chopra’s Memories Of Fire kinda reconfirmed this for me. A book based on the life of five friends, separated by communal beliefs, distance, time, and experiences. This book is proof that of all the things we do, being a friend might be the greatest. It’s a bond that survives through the ages, regardless of fickle 6things like chemistry and…Continue Reading

I know you hate goodbyes. And I know, more often than not, you replay those moments, pretty frequently inside your head. I know each time you see them leave, even when you are spooning memory, it feels just like the first time. But I want you to know this. I want you to know I am glad they left.
