"Its okay! But we will go to meet mom and dad tomorrow!" Nikita had cooled down! "I have an idea! What if we go to your farmhouse with mom and dad!" "Really? Will you come?" "Yes, why not? Infact, we'll spend the entire day with them." "Oh, that's awesome! I had always wished for you to come to our farmhouse with the family." "And we'll celebrate your birthday again, tomorrow, with your parents!" Nilay, with his common sense, could smoothly avoid coflict with his wife before it got worse. Few days later, Sulay and Nilay were chatting when Reema called Sulay, "Have you booked the tickets for our vacation trip to Jaisalmer?" "I was just going to book them! And one more thing, I met my friend Rahul on the way, he and his wife want to accompany us as well." "With Rahul and his wife...? No! I definitely do not approve of it!" "You have never liked any of my friends!" Shouted Sulay, into the phone. "You go, I haven't stopped you, have I?" Reema replied angrily. "Well then, I 'll go on my own!" Saying this, Sulay angrily hung up on Reema. Nilay was listening to all this, "Why were you talking to bhabi (brother's wife) in such a tone?" He asked. "What can I do? She never understands me! Just spoils every plan at the last minute!" Nilay tried to explain, "Sulay, isn't it better if we understand and adjust rather than expecting it from the other person?". "What do you mean? Should I be asking her permission for everything?". "My Guru (spiritual teacher) has taught me that if we take care of our wife's likes and dislikes, she will definitely take care of ours!". Nilay spoke. "So does it mean that I do all the things that she likes?". "That's not necessary. Just find some solution , so that she is happy." "So what should I do?" "It is simple! You decide for yourself that who is going to be with you for a longer time, Reema or Rahul?" "Of course its Reema!" "So then you know the answer! Don’t you?" “You are so right! Thank you. But in similar situations, why don't such solutions occur to me? Why do I lack such an intuition (soojh)!"
