Daily Tiffs and spats of a couple - Each home has a story!

Image
 Have you seen a couple with all love and no arguments?!                                                                                     Photo by Alex Green Hardly would be a couple on earth without a difference of opinion over trivial matters. Individualism is all about opinions. Mums n dads, uncles and aunts, brothers and sisters, mothers and kids, best friends, girl friend and boy friends, fiancés and married; never do two people think n feel absolutely alike.  I have been witnessing the daily tiffs since my childhood within the 4 walls, just the parties kept shifting and I have many a times been an active participant trying to favor one and settle the other and a quiet audience at other times doing my own things while it a...

  For the women who do it all - And still move! Photo by Darina Belonogova Somewhere in my late teens, preparing to enter into adulthood and juggling ambitions and expectations from home and society, I had recently turned conscious about my looks and my few kilos extra than my famous peers.

  The very first cup of tea I was introduced to, by mummy or papa in the form of 'dhoodh-chae' (tea-milk) which became a daily ritual for the next 2 decades and is till today.

That first dhoodh-chae from maybe a sipper or small cup with stories from either of them and soft instructions'jaldi karo beta school ka time ho raha hai'(finish up quick, its time for school). Small sips became full gulps — the mini cup gave way to a steel glass. A glass full of dhoodh chae till I left for college, BUT, I didnt leave the dhoodh-chae behind. It was still a daily ritual at the hostel mess, just the glass changed. Getting married brought in yet another change, not to the dhoodh-chae, the glass was now a ceramic mug. Breakfast was still incomplete without it. Visits to mums whenever possible, day starts with a MUG of dhoodh-chae made by papa, tastes just like it always has. I tried to hand the tradition down to my little one...
