Foreword of the book
Marriage is an institution that has stood the test of time. Once married, the husband and wife have to fulfill their marriage vows of being there for each other through thick and thin.
If compatible, things roll smoothly without a hiccup. But if any one of the two has an irritating habit or two, is selfish and egocentric or plain indifferent, matters could come to a head! Often, lack of empathy and communication make things worse and divorce becomes the only option!
With children in the picture, complications multiply. So to have a happy and well-adjusted family, everyone in the family must learn to compromise on certain trivial issues and stand by each other in any circumstance.
Though easier said than done, it isn’t wholly impossible.
The protagonists in the stories in this book are couples who have learnt to adjust or those who unfortunately haven’t. Sometimes it’s better to let go, than staying on in a toxic relationship.
As with all relationships, you gain some and you lose some. Each to his, her or their own!
*****
Welcome to this world of bitter-sweet relationships! Contemplate your own...
There's always another chance at setting things straight in life.
We could pick or pass! Do you agree?

Excerpt
Then I would be the Boss and mimic in his dulcet tone, “Rrreena, what is this? You should have been more carreful. Why did you wrrite worrd instead of worrld? You will have to improve your prroof-reading skills. Imagine my plight, when our client rreads out the ad to me in mocking tones! “A worrd of delight! Yourr new home.” Does it even make any sense to you?”
I would run my fingers through the hair on the top of my head and then clutch my non-existent paunch, just like him. Only, his paunch was a generous one, worth rolling his hands over! And his pate was bald with hair encircling it like Mumbai’s Marine Drive.
I would laugh gleefully, the grin spreading to my eyes and lighting them up with mischief. I looked almost elf-like!
Worrld. Worrld. He had a habit of rolling the ‘r’s till I could feel myself inwardly begging him for mercy. Rrreena. Rrreena. Ugh. It sounded like arena! Voucherrrs. Voucherrrs. Why he stated his own name as Girrish. I would mentally add “garish”, “boorish” and “foolish”. Grrr!
All his extra ‘r’s drove me up the wall! Thank God, our ad agency was named ‘Manna’ and didn’t have an r in it!
I took great care to avoid having words with r in my copy. But then r is an important consonant. We can’t entirely eliminate it can we, that too, for just one man’s irritating habit of using it, ad nauseum!
When the sub-staff informed me that my Boss was calling me, I would often go “Aargh!”
Many a time, when I had walked into his cabin and heard his rrs, I had an impulsive urge to smack his bald pate with the glass paper-weight! Hence I firmly clasped both my hands together, unwilling to let go, lest my impulse got the better of me! He would think that I was insolent, while all that I was trying to do was to prevent him from being harmed.
I even chanted “Careful, careful,” all the while that I was there! When he would see my lips moving soundlessly, he would assume that I was swearing at him under my breath! Even more incensed, his rrs would multiply exponentially till I felt that I would explode!
