Vazhkaiku dhaan ethanaai parimanangaal,
Andha parimanangalil dhaan ethaain thirupangal,
Thirupangalil dhaan ethainaai valaivu nelivugaal…

Thodarandhu sendralum…
Thodramal irundhalum…
Thodarandhu varum ennangal…

Engeey thodangi..engeey mudyum…
Engum thodaramal nindru pona latchiyangaal…
Mudiya mudiya thodarum pudhu pudhu vazhigal..

Vazhkayum ulagamum oru vattam…
Ner kottil kadandhalum…
Valivu nelvil kadandhalum…

Thodakamum mudivum ondreey…
Dhuraam mattum veru…

Whenever this word comes to my mind…I feel, I have a lot more to do. Well, we all feel that too…The days seem to be running faster. I am understanding what speed of light or wink of eyes means these days…24 hours does not seem enough. 

Some other times I also feel, I am not planning my time properly. This seems continous and never ending. I feel Robert Frost’s words are true, we got to keep running to keep up with time :-)

Whose woods these are I think I know. 
His house is in the village, though; 
He will not see me stopping here 
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer 

To stop without a farmhouse near 
Between the woods and frozen lake 
The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake 
To ask if there’s some mistake. 
The only other sound’s the sweep 
Of easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep, 
But I have promises to keep, 
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

So lets keep running…!!

I did not feel so, for so long, that relationships are delicate. Relationships are made with level of understanding and kind of bonding. The configuration of relationship is really hard to explain in terms of words. Day to day, each and every relationship  towards each and every human varies. I may not talk the same to a stranger as I talk to my best buddy…The chemistry and quantity of various chemicals involved in each relationship does vary and keeps varying from time to time.

The time we take to understand people, the time it takes for the relationship to grow and mature are some deterministic factors which contribute towards the bond and time of a relationship.

What was new to me was…Relationships impact relationships, sounds confusing…yes, as it was to me till I felt it in recent days. Yes, very true..relationships impact relationships meaning my relationship with X will impact my relationship with Y…I am not sure if this is true in all the cases, I realized it was true in my case :-)

Relationships are delicate too…They need care…The care, equvalent to caring a rose plant or any other plant in your garden. Incase, the rose plant dies off due to some reason..there is no way you can get it back even if you stand upside down ;-) May be you could buy another rose plant of the same kind, but for sure you will miss your old rose plan (old is gold)

I was about to lose such a rose due to lose of care or unexpected mishap…but my good time the after effects were not so bad to really lose the rose…But I am feeling the thorns in the rose after this mishap which I had never felt before. And thus, relationships are delicate in their own way…

So own a relationship. Own the good and bad of it…Care for it…Groom and grow it…Cherish and feel it…Don’t ever lose it…
