Article #68 : The Trust Factor

 “Trust starts with Truth and ends with Truth”, What do you say? 

Well, in this article, I am going to narrate a story that starts with trust and ends with trust. 

Once upon a time, there was a young man called Rama who is talkative, cheerful, yet sensitive. Also, there was a young woman called Sita who is silent, smart and tough. 

Rama met Sita and both of them decided to marry each other. They both used to have numerous conversations on phone, made so many promises, shared so many things and above all, trusted each other. They believed that the foundation of their relationship was only honesty and trust. 

The wedding happened grandly and they embarked on their new life together. 

Just in a span of week, Rama noticed a huge difference in Sita’s behavior. The one who used to respect him before marriage started showing disrespect in her actions straight after the marriage. The one who used to say that she never likes arguments before marriage started arguing with him for smallest of the small things after marriage. The one who used to convince him to stop any kind of small disagreements or arguments before marriage started fighting with him endlessly after marriage. Rama was shocked to see this change. He tried to explain her, but Sita neither listened to him nor understood him. 

During their first meeting in person, Rama told Sita that in future if they would be having any kind of fights, let’s not involve a third person because according to him, involving a third person in their fight is no less than killing the relationship. Sita immediately said yes. But after marriage, Sita started involving people from both their families during their fights, Rama was again shocked and felt very bad. 

Sita promised to call Rama respectfully before marriage. But She didn’t stand on her word after marriage. Slowly, Rama started losing the trust on Sita. 

Beyond all this, Rama got to know that Sita started giving complaints against him to her family adding so many things that were not true. Rama was shattered. 

Rama kept on thinking Is this the same Sita who used to say that she keeps nothing in her mind before marriage and now discusses each and everything on his back? Is this the same Sita who used to say that she doesn’t need anything, but now demands for so many things? Is this the same Sita who used to say that she accepts all the situations, but now ready to go to any extent if her wish is not fulfilled? Is this the same Sita who used to say that she would never question his actions, but now doing quite the opposite? Is this the same Sita who told that she would be very calm in all the situations, but kept on shouting at him now?  

Rama completely lost his trust on Sita as there was truth neither in her words nor in her actions. 

Rama cried his heart out before everyone that he trusted Sita a lot. A girl can exhibit a fake cry, but a guy cannot because guys were taught and trained not to cry and swallow their emotions. However, once a guy cries, that definitely comes out of a big storm from his heart. In fact, end of the day, even guys are humans right, even they have emotions and the same happened with Rama that he became emotional and cried that Sita simply played with his emotions. He broke in pieces. He neither had proper food nor sleep. Sita not only killed the relationship, but also killed him while he was alive. Rama went into depression. He lost himself and became so silent, very silent that he couldn’t even hear his inside voice. On the other hand, Sita was happy for her victory that finally she enabled Rama to talk with her after a long gap, but the least she knows that she went miles away from Rama.  

Rama spent his entire life with Sita. Years passed by, but Rama’s question remained the same, why did Sita cheat him? What did he do to her that she played with his emotions? He stopped thinking over it along with time as he knows that Sita would never admit her mistake. There was nothing in their relationship. Perhaps, Sita would have understood how much she deceived Rama through her words and actions. Sita would have earned the trust and everything would have been back to normal. What do you say? Let me know in the comments below. 


By this time, you would have got the point that I would like to drive home today. Trust is the foundation of any relationship, if that breaks there is no meaning for the relationship. There is nothing one can achieve in a relationship after breaking the trust of a person. Above all, it may take few minutes to break the trust, but it will take years again to earn the trust. So, let's ensure that we take care of this Trust Factor for maintaining a healthy relationship with all our loved ones. What's your say on this? Let me know in the comments below.

Article #76 : The Kashmir Diaries

Kashmir is known as “The Paradise on Earth ”. It is a universally acknowledged fact and I am nowhere an exception to disagree. In fact, those who have visited this place like me will strongly agree.

Article #77 : The Third Wheel

How many of you heard the phrase, “Two’s company, three’s a crowd”? Well, the third wheel on a vehicle where only two are needed is redundant and out of place. But what will happen if a third wheel tries to forcibly get into a vehicle? Let me share the answer with the help of a story based on real life incidents.  Once upon a time in one of the popular cities of India, there used to be a newly married couple. Both, husband and wife were IT professionals, all thanks to the corona and lockdown, in just one year of their marriage, they were blessed with WFH. But I like your imagination. The wife’s mother or the husband’s mother-in-law was a single lady at home. Since she was free all day, she used to be curious to know what was happening in her daughter’s life. By this time, you would have understood the lead role in our story, it was neither the husband nor the wife, but the wife’s mother or the husband’s mother-in-law. To avoid confusion, let me call our lead - the third wheel. Ear...

Article #52: Memories

“ Yaadein  mithai  ke   dibbe   ki   tarah   hoti   hain …Ek  baar   khula ,  toh   sirf   ek   tukda   nahi  kha  paoge ”   One of the best dialogues from a Bollywood movie. Yes, that’s true, memories are like a box full of sweets. Once you open, you can’t just have a single bite.   Technically speaking, Memory is information or data that is encoded, stored and retrieved when needed.   But if you ask me, I cannot come up with a definition. Instead, I would go back into some of the beautiful life moments that remained as Memories  now.    Waking up early on a Sunday morning just to play with the neighboring kids, writing on a wall with piece of chalk considering it as a blackboard, becoming a leader in the school, standing as one of the toppers in the class are some of the childhood memories.      Falling in love for the first time even without realizing the fact ...
