Once in a while we should take stock of our relationship. Are the people around you a part of your life because you chose them or have they been thrust on you? More importantly, are they helping you in your growth or are they a drag on your life ??? ~Latika Teotia
Your identity does not lie in your struggles, your diseases or your failed relationships. Your true identity lies in How you handled yourself during those situations. Take pride in being what you are !!! ~Latika Teotia
I’ve found that grief is not permanent and pain never lasts.There is always light at the end of a dark tunnel-as surely as day follows a dark night. I wrote this poem in a moment of despair. When I felt aggrieved and totally drained out. I struggled with my broken heart and found the strength to see beyond that grief. These sad moments had also taught me an invaluable lesson and brought me even more close to God.
Rain to Rainbow
I was lonely and I was in pain,
I sat quietly and watched the rain.
With each single drop, my pain did decrease,
I waited with hope for it to cease.
I picked up the broken pieces of my heart,
Even grief, though brief, had played a part.
Lord behold I spotted a rainbow at the end,
In my life, mercifully, it was only a bend.
Thank you, O Lord, for this beautiful life,
And the invaluable lessons I learnt from this strife.
In the absence of pain, grief, problems and strife,
We forget God’s wonderful gift of life.

I pray that you meet only those people who genuinely love you appreciate you and help you shine brighter. May God save you from those who are not good for you.~Latika Teotia
No one is perfect, even the people we love. We expect too much from others and feel sorely disappointed when they don’t measure up to our standards. We must stop expecting too much and start being real. Our parents, siblings, relatives, friends, neighbours, colleagues and all others too go wrong at times. Accept them as they are with their flaws, faults, warts and all. Forgive them. That’s maturity and that too is love. Relationships over ride our urge to seek perfection. ~Latika Teotia
More often than not we blame others for our faults and are forever searching for excuses to pass the buck- especially in relationships. This is because we ourselves are weak and lacking. The fallout is that we start looking beyond our partners. This is the beginning of our downfall. Arrest this tendency and find happiness within your relationship. ~Latika Teotia
Don’t expect people to change because you want them to and since YOU think that’s it good for them; you’ll be sorely disappointed. A more workable approach is to flow along the tide and accept how the other person wants to do things. And if you still feel that some correction is required, then, slowly, patiently and subtly steer them in the right direction because by then you would have gained their confidence. ~Latika Teotia
Don’t expect everyone you meet to reciprocate with the same warmth and love otherwise you’ll end up getting hurt and feeling disappointed.

Sometimes “Good byes” are the best gifts in relationships. Appreciate the time you had spent together and move on gracefully . ~Latika Teotia
Man wants to feel wanted; Woman wants to feel treasured.
