Treat her like a lady!
by divyapalat
Stop wishing me ‘Happy Women’s Day!’ Don’t fill your offices with balloons or give me a free cookie with a cup of coffee! Don’t give me chocolates or roses. Don’t smile at me unnecessarily or create lunches to felicitate me! Instead treat me as an equal. Treat me with respect. Pay me the same as you would a man for the same job. Do … Read More Treat her like a lady!

We expect love and support from our friends and family. We expect growth and satisfaction from our jobs. We expect belief, trust, security and help. We expect dreams to come true and love stories to just happen. We expect. And … Read More Expecting NOT to Expect

Relationship 201- What to do when the honeymoon period is over?
by divyapalat
So you’ve met someone and the ‘honeymoon phase’ of the relationship is now kinda over. You disagree. You argue. He has an opinion (shocker) often different to yours (double shocker!).

I mean he/she seemed perfect … Read More Relationship 201- What to do when the honeymoon period is over?

You are a survivor!
by divyapalat
People are horrible. They are mean. They make opinions when they don’t know you. They are harsh, self centered, rude and callous. People are horrible. They lie to your face. They forget you. They replace you. They hurt you- knowingly, unknowingly. People are horrible. But then there are some- a few among a swarm of hundred who accept you for who you are, who … Read More You are a survivor!

We pay mortgages, pay off loans, go in and out of debt! We’re old enough to drink and vote and sometimes can’t figure out whether the drink … Read More We’re all still teenagers trying to grow up!
