While drawing a kite for my son.. i realized how similar relationships are to that of a kite.. Each of us in a relationship seems to be flying a kite. When we begin we hold it tight and raise it high in out own best capabilities for the kite to get the gush of air filled with love and warmth.. The warmer the air the higher they soar.... And when it gets high up in the air, we got to let the string go loose so that it gets the distance and pull it a bit to make it soar high.. this is where we forget in our relationships.. we forget to give the space to travel the distance of time but we keep pulling a restraining it so that it gets the height but fails to live long....
Not sure how far it is true but yes what ever relationship i have been, it seems to hold good...

That was such a nice explanations...very sweet sid... u were infact saying something similar to one of my all time fave authors...kahlil gibran..who said "Let there be spaces in your togetherness: :) i think you illustrated it so well !
Thanks Arch for dropping in a note :)
The space that you talk about is must for as an individual as well as for the couple...
Most beautifully described. yes , this is exactly what we do to relationships we value the most..smother them and then write sad poems and sulk on our loss..how blinded and silly are we? :) I remember a scene from dil chahte Hai whr Sid (akshay khanna) explains to the girl in love with aamir to let go..he says - Ye raet hath pe pakdo..muthi khol ke raeth sambhalogi toh raeth tumhare saath rahegi..muthi kass ke band karogi, toh ungliyon ke beech se fisal jayegi raeth aur tum khaali haath reh jaogi...that pretty much sums it all..dunnit? :)
Beautiful! :D
