"If I loved you less, I might be able to talk about it more. But you know what I am." - Jane Austen, Emma

"It wasn’t the kind of yearning they describe in movies and books, it was ugly and desperate. I wanted something to hold on to, a breath, a whisper, a hand. I’m sorry I dug my nails too deep but when a ship is sinking, it’ll tear everything apart (including itself), just to survive." - Ritika Jyala, The Flesh I Burned

[hum-suffer]

I'm yours

Ishan is a hopeless romantic. In the sense that his romantic interests never let him hope.

The most recent person that he has been head over heels for is going to give a seminar in their college and he's Ishan's favourite.

Ishan is the head of the Cultural and Intellectual Committee and as such, he's in charge of almost all the extracurricular events that take place in the college. He's always had such bloody issues with 90% of the guests and speakers for being unprepared or late that these days he just assumes that the guests will be late, but hopefully not too late.

Which, brings him back to his current romantic interest— Shubhman Gill.

The man has been guest speaker in their college twice by now, third time monday, and he has never disappointed Ishan. He's always on time, he's always perfectly dressed, and he always emails Ishan his speech and let's Ishan point out details that he would humbly request to add or remove. Ishan could have kissed him for being a half decent human being the very first time he did that.

Plus, the college being the Techno faculty, the super famous technological prodigy of India coming as a guest speaker, Shubhman sometimes gets assaulted with too many questions and people and sometimes with no good interactive audience at all and yet, he smiles and talks to the teachers afterwards.

The first time Shubhman talked to him, Ishan had been putting away the gifts Shubhman received so that the man could take them on his bike without damaging the Tulsi plant.

(And that was another thing. A famous and important personality coming on his fucking bike? Ishan drooled a little bit when he heard Shubhman softly ask Ritika ma'am for a place to keep his helmet at.)

"Thank you for inviting me," Shubhman told him in a bashful way, an embarrassed blush on his cheeks.

Inexplicably, Ishan wanted to bite those cheeks. He held himself in chem and smiled back,"Thank you for coming, Mr. Gill. You've been a pleasure to work with."

"Please, it's Shubhman! And honestly, I had fun coming here as well. I hear you're the organiser of the event; it's amazingly done, I must say. Your management is impeccable."

So what if Ishan let the praise get to his head? So what if he stalked Shubhman on Instagram later? They had exchanged numbers—for future seminars, Shubhman had explained, much to Ishan's misfortune— and Ishan was entitled to be a little over his head for once!

The second time they talked, was when Ishan congratulated Shubhman on his award as the leading influencer of social media. The third time was when Shubhman wished Ishan on his birthday. The fourth was when Ishan had to invite Shubhman for ALASKA organisation's collab with their college and his presence as a guest judge.

Shubhman had sought him out again.

"I had a lot of fun," he said with that damnable smile of his,"thank you for inviting me again, Ishan."

Ishan shook his head,"Thank you for coming, man. Honestly, your way of interaction makes learning more interesting for the students. And, well, throws me some points to become the favourite teacher of the year."

Shubhman laughed, a sound that Ishan wanted to get drunk on for the rest of his goddamn life. "You have those competitions?"

Ishan looked around dramatically and leaned towards Shubhman, as of telling a secret. Shubhman, that perfect man, leaned forward as well, looking completely serious about this so called secret.

Ishan reached on his tip toes to whisper,"The students do that in their classes on Teachers' day. If they do it publically, they have to give the best teacher paper crown to teachers senior than me. So, a private award for me to take."

Somewhere in the background, something huge fell and Ishan startled badly enough to almost stumble but Shubhman caught him by the arm and grinned,"Cheers to the best teacher, then. What's the other activities you planned amazingly?"

And that's how Shubhman had ended up getting VIP passes to see the Darshan Raval concert that had been arranged.

Virat bhaiya had raised an eyebrow at Ishan showing Shubhman around the campus while they prepared for the concert lightings and all, but hadn't said anything. Ishan was so thankful.

They haven't talked in the four months after Ishan wished Shubhman a happy birthday.

____________________________________________________

So, in short, Ishan is a hopeless romantic. He turns every little gesture into a gesture of love and he has many one sided love stories that live rent free in his head.

He would have romantisized this as well, to be honest, if he wasn't confused as fuck.

He's been home for all of five minutes after a damn long day— it's exam season— and all he wants to do is flop on his bed and sleep for the next four weeks. A text pops up on his phone, from an unknown number.

'Are you tired, love? Anything I can do to help?'

Ishan frowns. None of his friends changed their numbers recently and moreover, none of them use nicknames. Can't be a student, no student of his would dare disrespect him. He may be lenient most of the time, but he's tempered enough to break their audacity on the very first lecture.

'Who is this?'

The reply came instantly. 'Your admirer? Your worshipper? Your fan?' a second passed as Ishan gawked at the message. Another message dropped. 'Whatever I am, I'm yours.'

Well, damn. Someone's smooth.

'Thank you for your kind words, but I prefer not to own people. It's illegal yk?' Ishan feels like an idiot as soon as he sends the text but he can't do anything because it's seen immediately. The person on the other side must be bloody stuck to their chat.

They send a few laughing emojis. 'I could turn the world around for you to be mine, though.'

Goddamn.

Ishan leaves the message on seen as he types the unknown number on Truecaller, but there's no registered name under the number.

He's about to leave and go freshen up when another message pops up.

'Searching for me on Truecaller will result to nothing, love.'

Ishan leaves the message on delivered as he looks around himself, his big house feeling emptier by the second. He blocks the number, somehow feeling a weird mix of anticipation and trepidation. He takes a fortifying breath and nods to himself, throwing his phone on the dinning table on his way to his bed room.

He tries to get the message out of his head as he looks for another YouTube video to see while eating his dinner.

'Do you know that blocking someone in the middle of the conversation is rude, Ishan?' the pop up message reads.

'Fuck off.'

____________________________________________________

There's a swarm of notifications going off and that's how Ishan wakes up at the ungodly hour of 2:34 am.

He blindly reaches for his phone, the brightness will kill him he's sure, but somehow manages to read the notifications with squinted eyes.

It's an annual Spotify subscription? What the fuck?

He scrambles to sit up and turns on the lamp, trying to focus more. The bloody notifications are an absolute onslaught to his ears. He even has an email announcing his annual Spotify premium account but there's no SMS of deduction from his account. What even—

Before he can start to plan a schedule to go to the bank tomorrow and also somehow plan a call to the customer service of Spotify, another message from that unknown number pops up.

'Happy belated Birthday, Ishan. Sorry I couldn't get you any actual gifts this time, I'll do better next time.'

Next bloody time?

'There won't be a bloody next time. Don't interfere in my life again. And cancel this bloody premium, i don't need it.'

And he lies.

He does need the premium for when he pulls all nighters and for when he drives to and fro to college. He needs it because he needs someone to talk and listen when he wants to be awake and podcasts are the only way that happens lately when he's off work.

Yes, he has a horrid social life— as a professor often does. All his friends are his colleagues. His family usually knows that he pulls insane hours and they only call at weekends.

'Don't reject it, pls' the message comes, as Ishan ponders his lonely life. When was the last time he enjoyed his life thoroughly? Another message pops up. 'Look, I just want to do something nice for you, okay? Leave it be, it's not your money thats costing you and I've got plenty of money to spend on my dear ones, with god's grace.'

Ishan doesn't know what to reply and he is incensed at himself for it. What the fuck? Ishan has never been greedy or wanted what he couldn't have. This random person suddenly gifts him a Spotify premium, Ishan contemplates his life and he hesitates in doing the right thing?

'Pls Ishan?'

Oh god, he can hear the puppy eyes. He turns off his internet and throws the phone on the bed. Somehow, Ishan manages to sleep.

____________________________________________________

The next morning, it's thankfully Saturday. His Saturdays go great almost always.

His hand itches to listen to his Spotify playlist he's made specifically for travel, but he doesn't want to use a stranger's gift. The stranger might know him and do it out of good of his heart or whatever, but Ishan, in all good conscience cannot use someone for their money.

As he absentmindedly drinks his evening tea, Ishan contemplates any tasks he has for the next day— grocery shopping, getting a haircut, finding a plumber to fix that minor leakage in his kitchen tap. It's gonna be a long day.

"Ishan!" He blinks up like a deer in highlights as he's startled by Rohit bhaiya. "What are you thinking?"

"Kuch nahi, bhaiya," he says and grins when Rohit bhaiya puts his hand on his shoulder. Ishan has always been a fan of skinship, and while Virat bhaiya being touchy is normal and comforting, Rohit bhaiya being touchy is rewarding and privileged. "Aap batao, how was your day?"

He groans in reply,"Puchh mat, Bhai. These B.Com students look innocent but they're so not! Apparently some kids sold around a paper of Accounts saying it's a leaked paper but it wasn't and making it clear to the students as well the board members? Hell. Why did I even accept to be the Secretary there when I'm Dean here too?"

Ishan laughs,"Because you love Virat bhaiya and lost a bet?"

"Shh, don't speak about it where students can hear you!"

Ishan laughs again. Feeling happy is a natural state of his when he's around his colleagues, they're all so good to him. It's what makes him stay in the college despite him getting offers from a lot of colleges in bigger cities. He's never gonna get the same affection anywhere else and he's ready to face some separation with his family while he works here. He's already made it clear that they're gonna come love with after his father finally retires.

"Accha, tell me what is the status of overmorrow's seminar?"

The one where his celebrity crush is going to be the main speaker?

"Spectacular. I've done everything, bas I'll get the flowers and the gift watch and everything else is set. Bhaiya bas Monday ko maachis dhundhni na pade, haa?"

It happens almost every damn time. It'd be ten minutes from arrival time of the guest and Ishan would tell some student to get the matchsticks for the auspicious diya lighting and no one would find the matchsticks. With everyone else, it's fine, but Shubhman? He's a punctual man, running around like headless chicken in front of him is not how he wants to establish himself and his students.

Rohit bhaiya nods understandingly. "Pakka. Varna ye apna hai na vo, usse lighter le ke candle light karke de Dena."

Ishan shakes his head at the confusing slang Rohit bhaiya uses. Amar, one of his students, has a smoking habit and hence carries around a lighter. The idiot always saves himself by offering his lighter at times when lighting something was necessary.

"Thik. Anyways, I'm going home, bhaiya. Anything left for me to do?"

Rohit bhaiya shakes his head with a grin and lets him go.

Its almost reflex when Ishan puts his earphones in and starts Chhaiya Chhaiya.

The bloody quality makes him blink and straighten up. And oh. Yeah, he's using premium.

Even as he feels a little guilty, his head bops to the beat as he drives back home.

____________________________________________________

When Ishan comes back home again, his garden looks different.

He's convinced that it's because he's not inspecting it properly so he crouches down and cranes his neck to look at the grass and some flower plants he has. He can't put his finger on it, but it's different.

He glances around the rest of his garden and that's when it catches his eye— the mower. And the pile of grass beside.

Someone fucking mowed his garden? And somehow, to the exact way he likes it.

And then, he hears the start of a two-wheeler, and before he's even out of the gate, the person has turned the corner and all Ishan can see is the shade of their taillight on the trees.

Ishan hightails it inside his house and checks it all over.

No lock broken, no thing stolen and no money moved. Everything is as it was when he left in the morning.

His phone pings with another message.

'Sorry to leave like that, ik it was obnoxious'

'how'd you like your garden tho? Did I do well?'

And. Ishan is a weak man, okay?

He knows this is wrong, he knows he has a stalker probably, and someone with probably deep issues, but. He bloody can't accept such big help without saying anything in gratitude, okay? He's weak.

'Its fine, tho I'd like to meet you someday' what the fuck is he saying. He wants to meet a probable sociopath?

'And thanks for the garden. You've done it perfectly and it's a great help. Thank you' there. He's been polite.

Another message comes. 'I think you'll enjoy our meeting a lot, love. And your welcome'

No other messages pop up throughout the evening.

Ishan denies to even himself that he checks his phone every five minutes for the stranger.

He's intrigued, he says to himself when he goes to sleep.

"There'll be a moment when you realise you're 27 when yesterday you were just 17; and you wouldn't be able to tell how a decade passed away and your life got divided into before and afters. The fury of youth will subdue and nothing will really change but everything will feel different when you look at old photographs and blurry videos taken on cheap mobile phones. Scents will remind you of childhood and certain friends you don't talk to anymore, hangouts will become reunions and mom's burnt pie will become the best food you ever had. And I know on some days you won't be able to show anything of those 10 years but I hope you remember to breathe, and let go of the knot in your chest. I hope you go out in the sun and live a little, because tomorrow is 37. "

BG3 CHARACTER PAGE

Jove they/any 🌩️ blue dragonborn 🌩️ paladin 🌩️ guild artisan

🌩️ multiclass: bard

Jove’s Oath of Ancients is a sacred commitment to affirm life, foster joy, be excellent to each other, and PARTY ON, DUDES!! A literally sworn optimist, they can come across as risk-happy, blasé, even callous in their dismissal of danger and negativity, but it’s also easy to get swept up in their huge dragonborn muscles and +9 rizz modifier and believe them when they say it’ll all be okay.

They used to be a gifted artisan, but don’t talk about their career or how it ended. Now they’re a paladin errant, wielding their giant glaive and ferocious positivity against the agents of despair. After losing an eye, breaking their wrist and their oath, Jove’s optimism has grown back harder and more gnarled than before, and they tend to defer to their companions for major decisions, not trusting their own judgment anymore.

Romancing Shadowheart Lae’zel. Best friends with Gale. Healer tank.

My first solo playthrough PC, abandoned at Moonrise Towers (for now).

TAG: #oc: jove

Estis she/her 🌞 gold dwarf 🌞 dream guardian

Ritika Estis was the master metallurgist who taught Jove to work with molten materials, despite their misgivings about being a blue dragonborn without fire breath or resistance. She passed away some years ago in Baldur’s Gate, but Jove’s dream guardian takes her form—whether as a cheap ploy to gain Jove’s trust, or as a genuine echo of their old mentor, they can’t be sure.

Auntie she/her ◾️ githyanki ▪️wild magic barbarian◾️ The Dark Urge

▪️ multiclass: storm sorcerer

This gith knows nothing about her life before the nautiloid, but since Lae’zel addressed her (and mocked her) like an elder relative she answers to “Auntie.” Lonely, curious, reactive. Center of a Venn diagram between “cigarette mom” and “Frankenstein’s monster.” Looks and fights like a gith, but lacks any cultural context or instincts that would make her feel like one.

Romancing Gale & Minthara.

Second playthrough, the only one I’ve completed.

TAGS: #oc: auntie, #ellie’s fucked up playthrough

Deadeye & Singer she/her 🏹 human 🏹 rogue/ranger she/her 🪕 halfling 🪕 bard

Auntie’s 2 hirelings. Deadeye was a young hunter, blinded in an accident and then given her sight back by a True Soul… just so she could watch her entire village burn, then have—her killers thought—her eyes put out and closed forever. Singer was a halfling traveling apothecary, killed for refusing to tend to Absolutists and sing for them after the massacre.

Though both women’s presences are cold and diminished and they can only speak with Withers’s vocabulary, traces of their personality remain. Deadeye was playful once, and still has the light step, deft hand, and trace of a wicked smile to prove it. Astarion swears he’s heard her coo and giggle faintly while playing with Scratch at night, long after the party’s living members are asleep. Singer was stern, matronly, and humorless with others, her face only relaxing when she was absorbed in her herbcraft or music making. Auntie gifted her Lihala’s lute, though it hurts to see a bard outlined against the campfire again, quietly picking out the notes of “The Power,” just feet away from the shadow of Alfira’s bloodstain.

Auntie doesn’t know she is a Bhaalspawn, but she feels instinctively that it’s her duty to care for murdered bodies and souls. She knows the names these revanants bore in life (Maddala and Brenna), but doesn’t use them, out of respect for these women’s vengeful echoes being different from the women themselves, and she’s as protective of them as she is of her “real” companions.

Terpsichore 🐏 she/her 🐏 satyr 🐏 rogue

She sings! She dances! She rams you with her horns!

Like Shadowheart, Terpsichore is on a holy mission for her patron goddess, armed only with her wits, blades, and the memories that her enclave—her Selûnite enclave—considered necessary for her to complete the task she’s been set: a pilgrimage to Moonrise Towers to assassinate an agent of Shar.

One second, she was crossing the Tower’s threshold (or windowsill, in the adept rogue’s case)—the next that she knew, she was being sealed in a pod aboard the nautiloid for processing. Failed. Abandoned. Godless. For now. If she doesn’t salvage this.

Terpsichore was told she’d know her target on sight, but she can’t be sure it isn’t Shadowheart—after all, while wrestling for the chance to kill each other they saw flashes of their own memories in each other’s minds, and Terpsichore feels… a lot… when she lays eyes on this particular enemy. ;-)

Two reasons why it's hard for me to talk about my art

To be quite honest

When a collector asks me to talk about my work, in my head, something about it feels fake - This is not because I don't have an understanding of what my work means to me, but there are 2 main reasons:

1) My thoughts about my work are in themselves pretty abstract. The reason they come out in the form of painting is because it's easier to translate it that way, than written or verbally. How can I explain something in words when the painting in itself is my explanation?

2) I'm genuinely excited about the smallest things in my work. That shade of blue, or that particular brushstroke, or that little dried flower I stuck in there that only I know about or the general feeling the painting conveys to me. Paintings can feel very personal and I'm not sure if what I think about it is what you should think about it. Usually l'd prefer the viewer put their own thoughts and story to it rather than me just giving mine.

Also, not everything is that deep. I'm all about enjoying the process and the end product just being the aftermath of that.

By,

Ritika Rajpal

[letterstoyourlove]

My 13 year old cousin came back from a date with her boyfriend and said, “I can’t wait to grow up and spend sunday afternoons with him.” At first, I wanted to laugh (after all they’re just 13), but I remember being 13 and having the world in my hands. I remember getting excited to talk to someone about my dreams and wishes, and how happy these daydreams and fantasies made me. There’s this innocence you can only have at 13 and the world rises and falls and crashes and burns every year… until you do not think about quiet sunday afternoons.

So I asked her about the date and heard her giggle about bubblegum flavored ice cream, and how much she loves this little life. I think she makes me love it too.

How Much Does Therapy Cost in India? Online Therapy Pricing for Adults

Support for mental health is now a need rather than a luxury. Many adults are increasingly thinking about therapy due to the rise in stress, worry, and depression. However, a common anxiety continues to limit individuals: how much does therapy cost in India? The type of therapy, the city, the experience of the therapist, and whether the therapy occurs online or offline are some of the factors that affect the answer.

Understanding Therapy Costs in India

Therapy in India varies based on location and specialization. In metro cities, in-person sessions with psychologists may cost between ₹1,200 to ₹3,500 per hour. In smaller cities or with less experienced professionals, this range drops to ₹800–₹1,500 per session. Specialized therapy or psychiatrists may charge even more. These rates can feel overwhelming, especially for someone just starting out.

But with the rise of online consultations, things have changed. Now, online therapy pricing for adults in India is more affordable, accessible, and flexible.

Online Therapy: A Cost-Effective Alternative

The biggest shift in mental health care is happening online. One of the most significant benefits is cost savings. Online therapy pricing for adults in India generally ranges from ₹500 to ₹2,000 per session—considerably lower than most in-person sessions.

Several platforms also offer:

Bundle packages

Weekly or monthly subscription models

Sliding scale pricing based on income

Free first-time consultations in some cases

This makes therapy more accessible to young adults, working professionals, and even college students.

Why Choose Online Therapy?

Here’s why more adults are now choosing online therapy:

Affordability – It reduces travel and per-session costs.

Flexibility – You can schedule sessions as per your comfort.

Privacy – Talk from the safety of your home.

Wide Therapist Access – Choose from experts across the country.

Clearly, for those asking how much does therapy cost in India, online therapy gives a budget-friendly and convenient answer.

Real Story: The Call That Changed Everything

Ritika, a 29-year-old marketing executive from Pune, appeared successful on the outside but silently battled anxiety and sleepless nights. When a close friend suggested therapy, Ritika hesitated, thinking it would be too expensive. But one day, she clicked on a link her friend shared and discovered online therapy pricing for adults in India starting at just ₹599. Taking a chance, she booked it—and that first session felt like a lifeline. Over time, she found relief, clarity, and the strength to face life again. She now says, “I thought therapy was out of reach, but affordable online therapy changed everything.”

Final Thoughts

So, how much does therapy cost in India today? Thanks to digital therapy platforms, it’s more affordable than ever. With transparent online therapy pricing for adults in India, people no longer need to delay getting help.

When Love Fails, Check Your Stars: How Kundali Clarity Heals Heartbreak

Breakups can feel like the end of the world — whether you were together for 6 months or 16 years. The confusion. The pain. The endless “What went wrong?” questions that replay every night when you try to sleep.

You blame yourself. You blame them. You blame circumstances. But what if the answer isn’t about blame at all? What if some heartbreaks were always written in your stars — not to punish you, but to push you toward something better?

More and more people, especially heartbroken lovers, are discovering that looking deeper into their kundali can bring healing, answers, and a path forward. And with platforms like Astroseva Talk, you don’t need to struggle alone. One free chat with astrologer can open your eyes to the bigger picture behind your pain.

💔 Why Relationships Fail (and It’s Not Always Your Fault)

Modern relationships are complicated. Ghosting, long distance, trust issues, family drama — love faces countless tests. But here’s what many people forget: your kundali holds powerful clues about your relationship karma.

In Vedic astrology, your chart shows:

What kind of partners you attract.

How your 7th House (marriage/partnership) is influenced.

Past life karmas that repeat as patterns in this life.

When your Dasha (planetary period) supports love — or tests it.

🪐 The Kundali Truth: Not Every Love Story Is Meant to Last

Some relationships feel like destiny, but end in heartbreak. That doesn’t mean they failed — it means they served their purpose: ✨ Some teach lessons about self-worth. ✨ Some clear old karmic debts. ✨ Some prepare you for your true soulmate.

When you talk with astrologer, they explain whether the breakup was avoidable or a necessary stepping stone.

🔍 What Your Kundali Reveals About Love

A detailed kundali reading covers: ✅ Your 5th House (romance). ✅ Your 7th House (marriage). ✅ Venus (love), Mars (passion), Moon (emotions). ✅ Doshas like Mangal Dosha, which can affect harmony. ✅ Rahu and Ketu’s hidden karmic knots.

When these planets clash, even the strongest love can break under pressure. But the beauty of astrology is that it doesn’t just show problems — it shows solutions.

✨ How Kundali Clarity Heals Heartbreak

💡 1. It explains the WHY. Instead of staying stuck wondering what you did wrong, your chart shows deeper patterns. Maybe you keep attracting unavailable partners. Maybe your chart warns about impulsive decisions during tough Dashas.

💡 2. It gives closure. A free chat with astrologer can help you accept that sometimes, the timing just wasn’t right — and that you’re not doomed to repeat the same story.

💡 3. It shows WHEN love will return. Your planets keep moving. A good astrologer can tell you when you’ll be ready to trust again, and when new love is likely.

💡 4. It offers remedies. Astrology isn’t fatalistic. Simple mantras, donations, or rituals can help clear stuck energies and attract healthier love.

How Your Birth Chart Impacts Your Love Language

Understanding how you give and receive love is one of the most important aspects of any relationship. While many turn to pop psychology to explore love languages, Vedic astrology offers a deeper, more personalized insight. By examining your birth chart (Kundli), you can unlock the emotional blueprint that governs your romantic behavior. Want to dive deeper into your cosmic compatibility? You can always start a free chat with astrologer at AstroSevaTalk.

What Are Love Languages?

Love languages describe the way people express and interpret love. The five basic types are:

Words of Affirmation

Acts of Service

Receiving Gifts

Quality Time

Physical Touch

But did you know your birth chart can reveal which love language dominates your emotional expression? Astrology decodes not just what you feel—but how you express those feelings.

Astrological Planets and Love Expression

Here’s how key planets in your Kundli impact your love language:

Moon: Emotional needs, instinctive responses

Venus: Romance, pleasure, aesthetic values

Mars: Passion, desire, physical touch

Mercury: Communication style

7th House & Ruler: Partnership energy

Ascendant: Personality and approach to love

If you’re unsure of these placements, don’t worry. You can easily chat with astrologer on AstroSevaTalk to get a personalized breakdown of your chart.

Examples of Birth Chart-Based Love Languages

Let’s explore how planetary positions shape your romantic style:

💖 Venus in Taurus

You show love through physical touch and material comfort. You enjoy cuddles, cooking for your partner, and gift-giving. Sensuality is your core expression.

💖 Moon in Cancer

You nurture those you love. Acts of service and emotional reassurance define your romantic language. You create a safe, caring space for your partner.

💖 Mars in Aries

Passion is intense and direct. You express love through bold gestures, spontaneous adventures, and physical affection. You thrive on excitement.

💖 Mercury in Gemini

You express love through communication—words of affirmation, playful texts, and deep conversations. Your love grows through mental stimulation.

To understand your own placements, try a free chat with astrologer on AstroSevaTalk and discover how your planets influence your emotional rhythm.

Love Compatibility and Kundli Matching

Your birth chart also reveals how compatible you are with someone else. While love languages may clash, astrology provides insight into bridging the gap.

For instance:

A Venus in Virgo may prefer acts of service and thoughtful gestures

While a Venus in Leo wants grand displays of love and public admiration

Knowing this early helps you adapt or choose partners who naturally speak your language. To explore this further, talk with an astrologer for a full compatibility check.

What Happens When Love Languages Clash?

Even when two people love each other deeply, their ways of showing it may differ. One may prefer quality time while the other values verbal appreciation. Astrology can:

Identify your needs and your partner’s

Explain emotional blind spots

Suggest timing for difficult conversations or breakthroughs

Offer remedies and mantras for Venus or Moon afflictions

A quick chat with an astrologer can bring clarity to confusion in your relationship and guide you through astrological timing for healing or bonding.

Case Study: How Astrology Saved a Relationship

Ritika and Ankit were on the verge of breaking up. Ritika felt unloved because Ankit didn’t express affection verbally. Ankit, however, showed love by doing chores and handling her bills.

A quick talk with an astrologer on AstroSevaTalk revealed Ritika’s Moon in Gemini needed communication, while Ankit’s Venus in Capricorn preferred practical support. With awareness and guidance, they adjusted their approach—and their love life transformed.

Courier Service in Delhi

Delivering Trust: Courier Services

It was the beginning of a new quarter, and Ananya, the operations manager at a mid-sized pharmaceutical distribution firm in Delhi, was going through reports when she got an urgent email.

A Pune hospital had put in an emergency bulk order for life-saving injectable medicines. Here was the catch: The shipment had to arrive within 24 hours, temperature-sensitive and well-packed. Delaying it would not just impact patient care, but also mar the company's reputation.

She looked at the current logistics plan of the company. Their routine transporter could not guarantee delivery within 48 hours — and that also without tracking in real time.

She didn't have time to wait.

Thus she promptly searched:

 “Reliable B2B courier services near me.”

Enter Dispatch Solutions: A Courier Company for Critical Deliveries

Among the acquisitions was Dispatch Solutions Courier, a parcel delivery courier company that provided B2B parcel delivery — healthcare, manufacturing, and electronics companies. They provided next-day delivery, cold-chain support, digital tracking, and dedicated account managers for businesses.

Ananya made a call. In two minutes, she was talking to Ritika, who was a corporate logistics manager at Dispatch Solutions.

We understand the urgency," Ritika replied. "We have insulated packaging, certified handlers, and priority transit lanes from Delhi to Pune. If you confirm by 3 PM, we'll deliver the parcel to the hospital by 10 AM tomorrow.".

Ananya wasn't only impressed — she was relieved.

The Courier Workflow Begins

By 2:30 PM, a Smartly dressed Dispatch Solutions pick-up executive reached their warehouse. With trained accuracy, he checked the packaging, temperature controls, and documentation, and then sealed it into a secondary insulated box carefully.

At each step — pickup, sorting hub, dispatch — the package was scanned, dated, and traceable in Dispatch Solution's business dashboard. Ananya was getting real-time updates on her company portal, which included estimated delivery time and live route tracking.

By 8 PM, the parcel had left Delhi in a climate-controlled vehicle.

A Successful Delivery, A New Standard

At 9:42 AM the following morning, the procurement officer at the hospital electronically signed the digital receipt. The medicine had arrived — whole, secure, in time.

Ritika then called with a delivery confirmation call and sent an elaborate delivery report within an hour.

Ananya was impressed. This was not just a courier service — it was a business logistics partner that knew how critical this was.

The executive management subsequently decided to bring Dispatch Solutions on board as a preferred B2B courier service for all India's critical deliveries.

Why Businesses Rely on Professional Courier Services

B2B shipping is different from retail delivery. Time is money, compliance is mandatory, and reliability doesn't negotiate. The business world today needs courier operators that do more than merely deliver.

Below are the things the new B2B courier services like Dispatch Solutions need to offer:

Speed & Scale: Door-to-door collections in your city to next-day pan-India deliveries, they scale with your business.

Real-Time Tracking: Portal visibility, live route tracking, and delivery milestones for business customers.

Custom Solutions: Sensitive electronics, cold-chain pharmaceuticals, or high-value industrial products — they are experts in industry-specific care.

Account Management: Experienced managers familiar with your business process and anticipation of issues.

Compliance & Documentation: Particularly critical for regulated industries like pharma, finance, or defense.

Secure Chain of Custody: GPS marking, staff authentication, and controlled access for high-value or sensitive shipments.

Building a Logistics Backbone for Growth

Following that initial emergency shipment, Ananya collaborated with Dispatch Solutions to optimize the company's supply chain. Together, they built customized SOPs, charted regional hubs, implemented APIs for automated booking, and even pre-booked pickups for repeat orders.

That enabled her sales team to pledge shorter delivery timelines to customers, secure in knowing the behind-the-scenes was rock-solid.

A one-time delivery had turned into a long-term logistics arrangement — and a competitive advantage.

The Future of B2B Parcel Delivery

With more businesses growing their online presence, the need for quick, clear, and on-time B2B logistics is stronger than ever. Companies will no longer accept nebulous ETAs or missing shipments.

Rather, they look to courier partners that are an extension of their operations — firms that:

Meet their SLAs

Provide proactive communication

Leverage technology to eliminate human error

Understand the intricacies of inter-state taxes, compliance, and permits

Courier services are not an afterthought anymore. They are strategic partners for upstart companies.

From Vendor to Partner

Ananya's experience is not an isolated one. Across sectors — whether retail, pharma, technology, or manufacturing — companies are reassessing their delivery ecosystems.

They don't need a mere "courier" — they need a logistics partner that can grow with them, respond to urgency, and deliver consistently.

With the appropriate B2B courier firm, each shipment is more than a delivery — it's a promise fulfilled, a brand enhanced, and a customer maintained.
