Relationship- The Beautiful & The Ugly Side.

No, its not about the relationship with your Parents, Brothers, Sisters, etc. It is about the Relationship between a Man and a Woman.

When a Man and a Woman fall in Love with each other the world around is wonderful, the sunrise brings new elements of life, the days turn joyous, the sunsets turn romantic and the nights turns beautiful. The air is filled with the fragrance of Love.

The commitment to be happy together, to bear pain together,to fight against odds together and the commitment to be one in body and soul begins.

'I' becomes "We".

The "We" takes over 'I' giving rise to newer expectations and challenges.

The "We" who accepts and face the new expectations and challenges always remain the "We". The "We" makes up after a fight, forgives each others mistakes, compromises for each others happiness, cares for each others feelings, gives each other space, trusts each other fully and above all accepts each others individuality.

But the "We" who can't face and accept the new expectations and challenges start turning into 'I' and 'You'.
The 'I' starts taking over the "We". Fights, arguments, sarcasm, cynicism starts taking place. A constant battle between the 'I' and the 'You' begins. Sometimes the 'I' compromises to make things better and the 'You' denies it and vice versa.

When the compromises fail everything between the 'I' and the 'You' becomes a problem.

When a Man and a Woman start hating each other, the world becomes ugly, the sunrise brings another day of hatred, the days turn sad, the sunsets turn pale and the nights turn lonely.

Falling in Love is the most wonderful thing for the 'I' and 'You' together and falling out of Love is the worst thing for the 'I' or the 'You' separately.

The "We" always stays happy together and the 'I' and the 'You' stay happy separately.

Its on us to choose in between being the "We" or the 'I".
