Sustaining true friendship is a lot more challenging than we give it credit for.

Every friendship goes through ups and downs. Dysfunctional patterns set in, external situations cause internal friction, you grow apart and then bounce back together.

Like cars, every relationship requires a bit of an occasional service, and fine-tuning should be compulsory.

Since so many romantic comedies vary little in their storyline, the success or failure of such movies depends largely on whether we believe in the relationship of the protagonists.

As a species, we tend to be doers, forever shaping and reshaping the world to better suit our purposes.

For most of us, when our 'dreams' - I use the word with reservations - came true, and marriage and motherhood became a reality, the romcoms, like horoscopes, swiftly lost their allure.
