Why do we use the phrase "fine as wine" ? Maturation is a process that is believed to come with ageing in most of the cases. The only thing can possibly negate years of wisdom visible in the form of greyed hair and wrinkled skin is probably nothing but the anti-ageing creams that are forcibly thrown at our face. After all, phrases like "Old is Gold" have not rooted themselves perfectly into our vernacular.

Old-...

There are a number of things that transcend the domain of expression and understanding. Embedded deep in our psyche, our inner thoughts and most precious memories surface at the most unexpected moments. Some stay exuberant and peppy even at the age of 50 and some achieve the mental age of 50 even before attaining 21. A number of sources claim them to be "old-souls",souls that are intensely inclined towards soul-stirring aspects of life. The word "old-soul" has been associated with me since childhood. Be it on my parent-teacher meeting when my mother dismissed all the allegations against me saying that "She is matured, you know. She will manage that" or the occasions when my roommate would call me "grandma" due to my worldly wisdom, I have often been convinced of my old-soul. Relationships In this era of casual dating and open relationships, I have realised why relationship has another definition for me. Not in a cafe or dazzli...

A number of things, however, have deemed to be known as "wrong" concepts when it is associated with relationships and likely issues.
