The Artist set the background for a beautiful evening. The clouds formed a canopy to protect the protagonist from the blazing sun, as he rode the bike through the menacing traffic in a hurry. All of a sudden, the needle in the speedometer dropped. The sound died as he killed the engine. Faint lines appeared on the forehead and he seemed to be lost in his own thoughts. Everything around seemed to be lost in infinity. The bike sprung to life as he pressed the ignition, and sped off as if something required his immediate attention.
In a relationship, you often get to hear “You are so predictable”, “You are boring”, and the lists vary across gender/age. What does your partner expect from you in these situations? Do they expect you to be a mystery, exciting or interesting all the time? If you remain a mystery, suspicions crop up and threaten your very relation. While we do find relations that manage to maintain the interest/ spice in their relation, more often than not we tend to hear the clichéd statements like “we need to work on our relationship, let us rekindle the dying fire in our relation and so on.” So, what are the optimum boundaries we need to maintain to retain the spice in your relation?

Why are we not happy? Can we not fight all the time? Why can we not be like others? More often than not, these sorts of questions keep creeping into the modern relationships, answers to which both parties seldom agree.
How many times you have used the above mentioned/ similar statements or you were at the receiving end.
