Re-Building Successful Relationships


Sure there are plenty of other fish in the sea; but you're not anywhere near the sea. You're in the desert. Alone. I am not sure how many of you feel so, but when i come back home from my office, such kind of feelings really surrounds me. There are lot reasons behind those feelings.
  • How many classmates do you remember from your 10th standard?
  • How many classmates of 10th standard you are still in touch with?
Lets us leave 10th standard because many of us thinks that 10th standard is quiet way back in the history.

  • How many classmates do you remember from your Graduation?
  • How many classmates of Graduation you are still in touch with?
Still having difficulties in remembering their names & faces, let me make it more easy.

  • How many classmates do you remember from your Post-Graduation?
  • How many classmates of Post-Graduation you are still in touch with?
Oh you still remember few of them, Great......so let me move little further........

  • How many colleagues do you remember from your First organization?
  • How many colleagues of your first company you are still in touch with?
When i asked these questions to myself, my score was very poor, this is a beautiful example that how bad i am in building relationships. There are very few people i had come across who are really good in building relationships carrying them for long & long for entire life. 
Everyone you meet in your life - even total strangers - are already intimately connected to you. The idea that we are all separate and distinct beings is nothing but an illusion. We are all parts of a larger whole, like individual cells in a body. (…) When you look at other people, you’re really looking at yourself.

 Step for Relationship Re-Building.

1.Try building a contact directory of your friends, classmates, teachers & colleagues. I am sure you if you try hard on your memory you will surely be able to remember the names of most of them. Keep listing them down.

2. If you are able to contact few of the people among the contact list, slowly & steadily you would be able to fill the remaining contacts very soon because this is a kind chain which keep on building with addition of each contacts.

3. In Today's social networking world with lot of social sites like - Facebook, Orkut, Twitter. You will be surely be able to find the remaining friends from here.

4. Be in regular touch with old relations are more important than contacting them because they will be lost again if you are not in regular touch with them.

5. Meeting them once in a while along with your family or their family really brings more strength in any relationship.

6. Sharing & exchanging the gifts among these relations build an urge to meet people & build relations. Even a greeting card on special occasion & remembering them on these special occasions really more than enough.

7. Plan together for a movie, travel or Dinner allows you & your family to get mix with each other.

8. Small SMS's jokes, wishes are also something which always make them reminding that they there is someone who still remember even if far apart.

9. Importantly you would see this will build the relationship so strong that you would find lot of people around whenever you need help or if you are in trouble.

I am surely going to try these 9 rules set by me for re-building the relationships.............How about you?????
Hey its not that tough, just give a try.....................

Hmmm..nicely written.
I'm happy to analyse myself in lieu of the thought you mentioned here and found myself so very well connected, not just with my frnds from 10th standard but even a few from primary school:)

I agree once u'r married and have family, you hardly get time for social networking but as mentioned "give a try atleast" and I'm sure we can spare few minutes for our second family i.e Friends:)

Thanks for sharing the blog link

How to bring SMILE :-) when it is difficult to?

Its been longtime since i am writing this blog, there are reason when i write a blog..................Most of the time when i am happy & feel like smiling, i immediately jump on the blogger site to write my set of stories. A day before yesterday, i was so tired & was feeling very sad. Most of the time when i am sad, i try to go near by a market or a shopping mall that really delight me......I was just sitting at Subway restaurant with my Foot-long veggie delite thinking about - Why is it difficult to smile? When you feel that it is really difficult to smile everything seems to you very irritating, jokes looks like foolish, people looks like enemies, you want to be all alone, you don't get delighted with any big or good news........The same feelings are all around me, i am feeling difficult to smile, even there are lot of reasons to smile but yet my face is empty.................

My First Interview for Marriage Proposal

I was recovering from my viral fever & all hats of to my mom whose efforts had made me recovered so quickly. My platelet counts had gone below the standard mark & I had to take off from my office for almost 2 weeks. I informed my father about illness & requested if they can come for a while to take care of me. Since my mother is a heart patient so we generally avoid giving her shock or any such news which disturbs her. My father told her that we are going to Gurgaon for a while to meet Tinku & will stay for atleast 2-3days. (Tinku is my pet name, so don’t make a joke of it ok.) My mother was over surprised because my father hardly gets space/ time from his job. He loves his job more than my mother, so it was hard for my mother to swallow it so quickly. She had the only thought in her mind was of marriage proposal, she had been dreaming for my marriage for more than a year. Reality was hard for her to see as she got to know about my illness only when she arrived at m
