I have a friend who once pointed out that our names reflect what we really are. He insisted that my first name was because there is a certain steadfastness in my nature. That it is very easy for me to maintain the bond and the signification in choices I make – be it friends (yes,
They say in Gujarati – કોઈનો પ્રેમ ક્યારેય ઓછો નથી હોતો, આપણી અપેક્ષાઓ જ વધારે હોય છે (it is never love, that fails you, only your expectations). Well, that is a loose translation, but I think it is true for most people. We believe that the only way to love and be loved is our
