Unknowingly Irritating
You know that look on someone's face that shows they are getting irritated by you? And how it surprises you? For a lot of times, we are unknowingly irritating.

Never Ever Again
"Never ever again will I ______ !" Everyone who has ever used this phrase put up your hand. Chances are that each person reading this post will. It could be related to any sphere of our life - relationships, work or even in general. At some point, we have all staunchly resolved to not repeat [...]
Only Child Syndrome
"You are an only child, aren't you?" I asked, matter of factly. "Where did that come from? But, well... yes. How did you know?" asked a completely baffled junior who I had spoken to for barely ten minutes the very first time. "I know one when I see one. You have all the symptoms of [...]
