It is such a basic asset: Love. It is such a basic requirement: Love. People say the three most fundamental requirements of Life are: Roti, Kapda aur Makaan (Food, Clothes and Shelter). How far is this true? Well, it is true! But can we all stay with these fulfillments without the fundamental requirement being touched upon? Like how would we feel, coming back to an empty house? Some would say, they can and it’s true some actually do, but how long is the question? Like, wouldn’t it be interesting to know the psychological differences between a person who enjoys the solitude of his or her own company compared to someone who can’t stay without anyone?

Company is important. The years of life spent in solitude and a bucket full of longing and yearning, can often result in cynicism. To enjoy a certain company and to enjoy one’s own company- there should be a balance between them. Although, the definition of company is relative. What is the significance of that company? It is important to realize too, how the company is also affecting oneself? I believe with age comes a lot of selectivity in choosing our company- it becomes vital who we share our time with, our happiness or sorrows with. Isn’t it? Also- can a single best friend be singled out? Or can someone have more than one best friend? Who is a best friend? And in between all of these, how much is a single person important? One’s partner, one’s spouse, one’s Yours Truly, that one person is important. It is vital. Sudha Murthy says, a woman has to be stronger than her man. A man needs his partner to be not only his wife, but Advisor, Finance Manager, Friend, Wife, Nanny, Mother and I believe many more roles which remains undefined.

Any relationship is a partnership, a partnership of all sorts- a bridge of understanding standing on the pillars of Belief, Faith, Trust, and Compromise and Love. The bridge might sway, the bridge might tremble, but as long as inner circles remain closed, it is hard to break away. Dark and shadowy mornings will be followed with rainbow filled sky, glimpses of hope will be breaking in through the cracks on the walls, sun will shine again, moon will shine again, and the stars will align once again. That will be the time of joy, that will be the time of relief, move ahead without regrets, but with lessons learnt, with kisses burnt, on the cheeks of patience. Look into each other’s eyes, hold each other’s hands and press onto each other to make things work, life is nothing but a collection of time that is yet to come, just now and just gone by. Time doesn’t wait for none, and neither do the mortal souls, love is too much to be left behind. So gather your hands, grasp the love, fly away where your heart takes you, where your sound mind follows you and discover yourself once again in the truest company of your love, the moments of glory after the days of toil. Love is a mountain to be climbed, a river to be crossed and a road that’s most often taken and walked upon which leads to days of glory!

Go ahead, crawl, walk and run only never to be afraid to fail, unlearn and relearn.
