This Ugadi ‘Transform relationships into Connections’

Everyone is excited about Ugadi, the Telugu New Year. On March 22nd dressed in new clothes, we shall offer prayers, perform cultural rituals, relish delicious food and spend the day with our loved ones. Ugadi is also special, because of Ugadi Pachadi — a signature translucent drink, comprising six different tastes. It is a blend of raw mango, tamarind, neem flowers, jaggery, salt, green chilies and water. Popularly, it is believed that Ugadi Pachadi represents the different emotions of life; happiness, grief, anger, disgust, fear and surprise.

All our relationships seem to be a sum of these emotions; especially marriage. Over the years, for good or bad, any one of these passions influences the bond between a man and woman. The marriage either continues or ends or continues with certain disclaimers. We do not know, but what we know, is that a relationship cannot survive without consistent efforts to show that the other person matters.
