The Lost Princess Bird – Jinisha Once upon a time, in a sky painted with golden sunlight, there lived a tiny, beautiful bird named Jinisha. She was no ordinary bird—she was a princess of the clouds. Her wings shimmered like pearls, and her laughter echoed like soft music across the forests and rivers below. Jinisha lived happily in a warm nest high above the tallest tree, with her father—the king of the skies. He was her protector, her guide, and her whole world. Under his wings, she never knew fear. Every morning felt like a celebration, and every night ended with stories of courage and hope. But one day, the sky turned silent. A storm came—not just of wind and rain, but of loss. Her father was gone. The golden sky faded into grey. The nest that once felt like a palace now felt empty. Jinisha’s world scattered like dry leaves in the wind. Alone and trembling, she tried to fly—but the winds were harsh. She lost her way, drifting from forests to cities, from quiet valleys to noisy rooftops. Each place felt unfamiliar. Each day felt heavier. Hungry and afraid, Jinisha knocked on many doors—calling out softly for help. “Can someone hear me?” she chirped. But the windows stayed closed. The branches turned cold. The skies felt distant. No one answered. Days turned into months. The little princess bird, once full of joy, now carried silence in her wings. Yet… she didn’t stop flying. One evening, as the sun dipped low, Jinisha landed on a broken branch beside a quiet lake. Her wings were tired. Her heart, even more so. For the first time, she didn’t call out to anyone. Instead… she looked at her reflection in the water. And something changed. She realized—though the world had closed its doors, her wings were still hers. Weak, yes. Hurt, yes. But still strong enough to fly. That night, under a sky full of silent stars, Jinisha made a promise: “I may be lost… but I am not finished.” From that day on, she stopped waiting for someone to save her. She began to rebuild herself—one flight at a time. She searched for food, found small safe branches, and slowly, learned to trust her own strength. Seasons changed. Her wings grew stronger. Her eyes brighter. Her heart… braver. One morning, as the first light touched the sky, Jinisha flew higher than she ever had before. The wind no longer pushed her down—it carried her. And in that moment, she realized: She was still a princess. Not because someone protected her… But because she survived. And far above the clouds, a tiny bird soared—no longer lost, but found within herself. Story to be continued.......

WHAT IS MARRIAGE?

When God created Adam He found that he was very lonely, therefore He created Eve out of the rib of man and God blessed both of them to live happily. When we look in today's situation of a married couple's life we try to understand what it is? In fact, it is a holy sacrament given by our ancestors so that there can be stability in our society, the life of a person, family, growth of humanity etc.

But when we really ponder over in today's  context "A perfect marriage is one where there is total freedom, allows to grow mentally, physically, spiritually and psychologically and in the way that they express their love."

 

When two people get married, it means they are making a big commitment. It means they should stay with each other through sickness and in health, in every situation that life offers them, in poverty or richness, in happiness, joy as well sorrows till death departs them.  Getting into a marriage relationship is a sign of the fullness of their deep romantic love for each other. Yet, their love for each other is tested in the course of time. First, there would be the adjustment period. All couples go through that. There is a saying that you only get to know the person if both of you are living under one roof.

The routine of everyday life brings unrealistic expectations. Marital disenchantment comes in and it is expressed shortly just after the honeymoon fever wears off. This is the time when imperfections can be seen. Shortcomings can be blown out of proportion. Some eccentric behaviour which you found “cute” before now becomes annoying. Aside from your own problems as a couple, you have to deal with in-law relationships, money matters, and certain conflicts which have become the cause of your stress and anxiety.

When negative emotions and actions take over, it becomes the perfect recipe for marriage disharmony. Unless you become aware of your own hurtful attitudes or actions, chances are, you won’t do something about it. Marriage is accepting who that person really is. We only need to practice self-control and learn not to have so many expectations.

The following tips will show you how to bring back that “zest” in your married life:

TIPS ON PUTTING ROMANCE BACK INTO YOUR MARRIAGE

1. Know and Understand Your Partner -  We all need reassurance. Reinforce this by showing affection, a simple praise, hug or kiss will do. We should learn to communicate our feelings to our mates. Don’t be defensive. When you have a minor problem…say “I’m sorry.” and really mean it. The sooner you do this, the sooner your mate will stop resenting you.

2. Come out of your dream World -  All marriages go through certain obstacles. The one that you married turns out not to be the “angel”  Prince or Princess that you envisioned or the “knight of shining armour.” Real love takes a lot of patience. So go beyond your illusions on what or how your mate should be. Rather, focus on yourself and start to make the necessary changes needed to improve who you are as a spouse.

3. Compromise With Each Other -   In every situation, especially when you reach the point that you are angry, hurt, and frustrated you have to learn how to meet halfway. In other words, you must know how to compromise or negotiate. No two human beings are exactly alike. So settle your differences and learn to forgive each other right away. Don’t let the sun go down on you without you and your mate finding the solution.

4. Accept Him/Her As He or She Is -  How do you refresh and fix a troublesome marriage? Bring back the love and intimacy. Work on it. Work on your marriage. Like life….marriage is not a bed of roses. You have to work throughout with your partner by investing time, love, money, and interest in each other. Bring back the closeness by being honest, non-argumentative, and non-judgmental. Being happy together brings good mental health as well as physical.

Yes, you and your partner should be on top of everything, be in charge of keeping the romance alive and let your marriage blossom the way it was meant to be.
