Maturity --> Balance!
"Love reminds you that nothing else matters." - Amy Bushell
Agreed that the feeling sprouts all of a sudden from nowhere you’d have imagined; still before coming to a conclusion or expressing it out think twice, analyze yourself and the other person; take a “matured” decision then. The first thing is you should be most sure of the person before taking him/her (hereafter him) into your life. A successful relationship is formed at this venture. You can’t run the show tomorrow when you find him not suitable for you or if you keep having clashes at every simple thing in life which you got to deal with him.
The common problem which everyone confronts in a relationship would be this: The beginning days go very smooth whichever relationship you take, be it a love life or wedding life. When days pass-by and the couples get used to the company of each other, gradually they start finding faults with each other and there starts all the problems.
The rudimental ratiocination would go in such a way that one person having lot of time in hand whereas the other keeps being busy!
When your partner says “gimme my own space” don’t think that he doesn’t like you or he got bored of you; it might mean that he wants to spend sometime on his own, may be with his male friends.
Don’t jump into conclusions that he has got another girl and that’s why ignoring you. Understand that it doesn’t mean he is ignoring you. Give him his own time; don’t keep calling him to see where, with whom or what he is doing. Let him be; when he finds time he’ll call you.
Most of all trust your relationship; remember you are supposed to think smart before getting into it.
In olden days most of the female population was good home makers. There was this big problem of cribbing the spouse as, in the beginning of the wedding life he tends to spend a lot of time with her, tasting her food, enjoying her make-up, admiring her beauty and all that. But later when time goes, he gets busy with his own work and the girl still tends to dress-up for him and wait. Now his reaction once he’s back home becomes opposite to what she expects. She is disappointed, starts feeling bad and blaming the guy.
The ultimate moral here is times change and thereby things that happen would change. This is where the maturity comes into picture. Try to understand the reality, only then life will be peaceful for both the persons.
There was this article, if I’m right, “I want my space” which I got to come across in Bangalore Times over the weekend. It gave almost similar gyaan like what I’ve written above.
They’ve suggested the solution for this kind of problem which went like this: (focused on the meaning not on the phrases)
1) Try to keep yourself busy with something or the other.
2) It is natural for the couples to spend a lot of time together in the beginning of the relationship. But now that you’ve reached a saturation level and so start calling your parents and friends. Spend time with them.
I couldn’t help myself laughing out after reading this. The first point is in a way agreeable. But what is this they’ve written about saturation level!!!??? When you need your spouse, you’ll forget the rest. Now that he doesn’t find time for you and so you should think about your family and friends. Tomorrow again when the guy comes back to you, you’ll forget your friends and family and go behind him, is it!?
The result of this would be nothing else but you offending them ‘knowingly’. Do not let others think that you’re making them a “use and throw object”. Try to achieve a “balance” come what may!
1 small tip.. to test yourself on this, try this out:
How Selfish Are You?
Your family and friends are always there for you and try spending some amount of time with them every now and then. Reasonable that it can’t be the same as before, but once in a while at least! Don’t fall flat totally for them when you find someone for yourself, forgetting the world around you! Later when you’re in trouble, seeking help from people around you is not at all fair.
The balance that you attain over this period would be of tremendous help at any point of time in life!

JCubez....
This should be informative for guys (??)!! :)
"JCubez" is a popular pub in Bangalore near Banashankari 2nd stage BDA complex right next to cafe coffee day (CCD).
While entering the guy at the main door asks "how many of you" and accordingly they give you the seat if you happen to visit the place after 6PM. Before this time you're given the freedom of choosing your own seats.
It was a rainy pleasant evening... We entered the place around 5.30PM by a sudden change in plan from a nearby pizza hut to this pub and fortunately I was given the rights to pick my place.. Me being a "sofa-maniac :D" need sofa to sit and make myself comfortable wherever I go. I got my sofa and sat to look through the menu. The dishes were of reasonable cost.. I went for a Mickey Mouse that is nothing but our popular coke float which we get in McDonald's.. Hard rock piercing my eardrum, banging heavy on my head (would've shattered into pieces if I would've sat there for another hour)
Now comes the interesting point. Started looking at people around.. I was shocked to find myself to be the only girl out there. My thought process rushed and took different directions. I found it literally amazing as this is the first pub in Bangalore where I "did not" see any chicks sitting and boozing! Surprising fact is that I've seen so many girls smoking royally in the CCD next to this pub every time I get to cross this place.. and the same scene was in effect last Sunday too before I entered! In an astonished tone whispered into my friend's ears 'why is there no gals around!?' he in a cool voice said, 'people come here only for boozing unlike us, so the type of girls whom you look for will be available at least after 8PM only'.. So then I put a full-stop to my overflowing thoughts and assuaged my insecurity just to see a head quaking hardly, roughly, madly (I would need a list of adjectives like this) in the diagonally opposite couch.. It was so funny to see a human that way and I bursted out laughing. My friend asked me to keep quiet or else we would end up in another bicker there!
The ambience was soothing and hospitality was awesome! Was a decent crowd, particularly there was nobody to look at a girl as a bizarre creature..
[Info especially for guys:)] 250 bucks for a mild, satisfying drink. We were 2 and checked in for 350 bucks finally, left to you to decide what we would've done there!!! :D

Time to dig mystery!!??
To brief this topic, its going to speak about "Chidambara ragasiyam" (Chidambaram - heart of the universe(Chid – Heart, ambaram – universe); ragasiyam - secret)
So this part of the blog will elaborate on this topic which always remained a mystery!
It is present in Natarajar temple in a place called Chidambaram which acquires it fame only due to the presence of these 2 world famous spots:
"Natarajar temple" &
"Annamalai University"
To speak about annamalai university, it is a well-known educational institute built by Raja Muthaiah Chettiar who comes from the background of NKCs (Nattu Kottai Chettiars--a Hindu caste famous in tamilnadu)... Many celebrities in politics & other fields have graduated from this university. The location of each block & the way they've been built are way too brilliant... A place worth visiting!
Natarajar temple is one of the largest and ancient temples built by Cholas who ruled Tamilnadu in older times. The vastness of the temple reveals the fact that it had been built by many Chola kings in their ruling period... History says it too around 300 years to finish constructing the temple. It is really an awesome masterpiece by men for God!
Natarajar is a form of Shiva and Chidambaram is the place of aagayam (sky) out of the pancha boothaas.
Alright! Now let’s come to the depth of the topic. All I'm going to speak here is about the popular, mysterious "Chidambara ragasiyam"...
I'm proud to say that I was born and brought up in this small town near Pondicherry (approximately 1.5 hrs journey from here). I visited my home town during the recent dhussera holidays after a time gap of 1 year...
When I got to visit the temple here, I got to know the Dhikshidars (priest who do seva to God) belief about the famous "Chidambara ragasiyam"!
The speech of the Dhikshidar who explained what it is exactly went like this:
"Listen carefully; there happens pooja 6 times a day called as "Kaalam" for Natarajar. Every time "Kaalam" happens, pooja is done to the ragasiyam also and so it'll be opened and showed to the bakthas(worshippers).
The ragasiyam is nothing but the old statues of Lord Nataraja and his wife Sivagamasundari Amman. As they are age old statues and they are fully covered by the camphor smoke and those kinds of things used for pooja, the vikraham (statue) will not be seen. Only the vilva ilai (Vilvam is a sacred leaf with which they do pooja for Natarajar) will be seen as it is made of Gold and which weighs around 300 kgs!
Once the archanai(pooja with camphor) is done to Natarajar and Sivagami Amman, the ragasiyam is also worshipped, during when the light that falls on the golden leaf is reflected and only the leaf will be visible. Watch out for the light, think of Natarajar and pray deeply; your wishes will come true!"
