And we are not talking about the vastness in the universe or the earth’s atmosphere!

‘Give me space’ – This is almost a normal statement in most relationships nowadays. Though it is doubtful if you can ever make your grand mom or even your mom understand what ‘giving space’ means. “In our times, ‘space’ was an unknown issue”, says Mr. Ram, “We knew our responsibilities and worked hard at making the relationships work”.

But now, we cannot imagine having any relationship that does not give the space that we need, because it is ’suffocating’, and just few years ago, suffocation had only a biological meaning!

Does this mean that the new generation does not realise their respective responsibilities? Not really. Still, it has to be agreed that the effort that people put in to make a relationship work has definitely gone down from what it used to be in the good ol’ times. Blame the changing times, or anything else that you think is appropriate to be blamed, but we have changed. Our priorities have changed vastly.

Today, we seem to realise that we have a choice in life, most of us seem to concentrate on our own lives rather than living a life that is always dictated by other important people in our lives. I think it’s a good trend, I am sure the moms and dads would disagree!

Be happy that you live in this period, when you are given your space, to think, to choose, to act, to live! Believe me, we are a lucky lot! It’s a nice time to be alive, so relish it
