The Silent Treatment....

The most complicated challenge that one faces during a lifetime is to maintain relationships. And the most simple challenge? Maintaining relationships. Basically, it is as simple as you want it to be or as complicated as you make it seem. I have been and still am a part of some of the most amazing relationships. Be it with my family, my wonderful circle of friends or even for that matter my acquaintances. There is a certain level of comfort with every person I have made an effort to have a relationship with. But then misunderstandings creep in even before you realize it has. It is automatically followed by silent treatment and all you want to do is scream and say,"Just talk"!! Honestly, there is nothing better than sitting down and talking things through. And communication is THE most integral part of any relationship. Misunderstandings are usually the end result of (like a friend mine would say) possessiveness or distance. Never easy to maintain relationships when there is a physical distance but the point to be remembered here is that if you are taking that extra effort to maintain "a" relationship, then it definitely means the world to you. Then why let misunderstanding and ego take control when all you have to do is reach out to the person and say,"We need to talk". There is nothing more powerful than the art of communication and there is nothing less disheartening than NO communication. 
Treatments are supposed to cure but the silent treatment kills... It sees the end of some of the most beautifully pure relationships.. 
On a lighter note, there isn't much one can do when one is at the receiving end of the silent treatment..... Well maybe, you could blog about it, like I did :-)

Confessions of a Lovaholic... :-)

When I love, there is no other emotion that i want to experience but that. I take time to love a person, thing or place but when I eventually  do love them/it , I know it is going to be forever. I love like there is no tomorrow because the last time i checked with myself, it was an emotion absolutely free of cost. I do come across people who love to burst my belief but then I forgive them. I do that because we are both connected by the same emotion - Love. Some say time is priceless but I believe that LOVE is priceless. Why would one need time if they don't love what they are spending it for? When I fall in love, I find that inner peace. I cannot think of disliking or hating the person/thing/place that had once been at the receiving end of my love. For me, love is void of any validity or condition and I am not ashamed to accept it and express it. I do not believe in hiding love and I must be truly blessed to be blessed with this emotion in abundance. 
Love was never meant to be perfect, neither does it promise to be perfect. But it is the imperfection I love. My name is Parvathy and yes! I am a LOVAHOLIC...
