Relationship:
Husband wife
Time together: 30 years
Same-to-same: We
both do not believe in trivialities; see life straight in the eye and
are restless to constantly engage in fresh ideas.
Yet different:
We are blessed with different sensibilities. While I am comfortable with
words, Chani has amazing visual aptitude. – Harleen
I am quite
flamboyant but she is the opposite. Slow and steady, she gains a lot
without even mentioning once. – GS Chani
Science of marriage
A study on divorce classifies marriages into five types
A new book has once again
enlivened debate over marriage and marital life. A 30-year study on
divorce in the US, by E. Mavis Hetherington, identifies five types of
marriages, says the book entitled For Better (For Worse): The Science
of a Good Marriage. The cohesive marriage and the traditional
marriage were most likely to be stable over time. However, Hetherington
identified three styles of marriage - the pursuer-distancer, the
disengaged marriage and the operatic marriage - that put couples at high
risk for divorce, writes author Tara Parker-Pope. The
cohesive/individuated marriage had the second lowest divorce
rate.
Heal thyself
I am 32-year-old single woman, and suffering from severe emotional problems. I lost my father about two years back and ever since I have not been able to recover from the shock. This has affected my behaviour towards everyone around. My friends seem to be avoiding me and my colleagues at work are also rude and unreasonable. My work is affected and my boss has just called me to warn me that if I continue like this any longer they will not require my services. I do not seem to be able to pull myself out of the
situation. Please help.

Azad
Bihari, a student of Northern Indian Institute of Fashion Technology, has a story to tell. Two years ago, when he was part of the Special Task Force in
Jharkhand, 16 of his colleagues lost their lives in an attack by naxalites at Bokaro steel plant. "I felt as if I had been blessed with another life, which I will not waste without telling people about their sacrifice." And Azad exactly did that on Wednesday at the announcement of
'Anukama 10', the annual design collection show of students of NIIFT.
