A relationship is not just formed by staying together.... it has to be built and nourished....
there is a saying, that to sustain a relationship, it should be like sugar dissolving in milk....
But I believe something else.....
For me, a relationship between two people is not just about them, but also about their families.... lets understands this....
So according to me, it is more like a rice vermicelli pudding (sevaiyya kheer)...
Where on one side, there is a person who like milk has been cooked slowly on a low flame of life struggles, had been simmered with problems, until it becomes boils and gets capable for using in a dish......
And on the other side, there is vermicelli (sevaiyya ) which is roasted in ghee, until it becomes golden brown and its flavor enhances....
Both of them have their own individual identity.....
Both of are made capable with there own identities....to be used further now in different dishes in different ways as desired....
And when these two come together..... it becomes a sweet rice pudding with the addition of sugar thats there relationship.... which is flavored with the spices of some arguments and some love.....
The presence of other family members and friends are like the almonds and cashews in the dish......
But despite becoming a complete dish..... their individual identities are still visible to everyone with open eyes.....
This is my definition and explanation of marriage and love.......
