Preeti More reminds us why it is important to have them around I still remember the delicious dal soup that grandmother would ladle into the bowl as soon as I reached home after school.

It’s perfectly understandable if I, at 28, am beginning to abandon my characteristic resistance and distaste towards matrimonial sites. Being with someone, in a way (and if positive) is a reaffirmation of your ‘self’. There’s been a gradual and gentle metamorphosis of the idea (and ideal) of love.

Though there is a nip in the air and we may still flaunt our jackets and pullovers, it won’t take long for spring to arrive. And spring is all about rejoicing in colours and being vibrant, cool and trendy. So wear colours which are fun, fresh and energetic. It’s the best time of the year to sport vivid yellows, aquas or pinks. Florals are hot this spring, but even geometric patterns like polka dots are trendy.

Gouri Dange Writer & Family Counsellor Why too much togetherness is bad for young couples Too much togetherness” my grandmother used to say, nodding grimly at the young couples that she saw in the ’80s and ’90s (when she herself was in her 80s and 90s). She knew a little English, but what she knew she used with great effect.
