Not talking often leads to lot of confusuin and doubts. It aomehow affects pur mental peace. Talking does helps in bringing a huge difference. I alwsys advocates to talk and sort any matter. The recent cases is just one of the many instances where I get benefitted after a mutual talk with my landlord.

My rent agreement is due for renewal. It has been a year since I shifted to the city are in search of some livelihood. I am living in a rented quarter. My landlord is a mean and very selfish landlord. As per the agreement my rent will be revised this year as per the landlord wishes. As my expectstion my labdlord increased the rent by 10 % and informed me of paying that in due time else vacating the quarter. With all the unfortunate reason in the world's, I have a mean and selfish landlord. He is the one who consistently demonstrates behavior that is unkind, unfair, or exploitative. He is very rigid when it comes to rent (money). A 10% increase in rent in a year is pretty high at least for me to bear so quickly. Taking into accounts the flat condition, it was not a worth to raise.
Other landlord of the locality are not increasing any hike in rent for their Tennant but my landlord was very particular and shown me his shrude and cunning nature. Knowing his character and nature, I was very reluctant to talk to him. I wanted to object the hike but how? Talking to him is alwsys is like taking on the bulls.. Somehow I dialled his number and put up my concern. Genrally he didn't entertain any calls. But this time he hung up and listen to me carefully. On listening my concern he agreed to reduce to increment to only 5%. A reduction of 50% on rent hike is too much for me. I happily accepted the new rate and made some advances towards the current year rent.
Express yourself with words that matter
This made me to belive how talks can helps in sort out the issue. Talking provides a safe space to express emotions, even difficult ones, which can lead to better understanding of oneself and others. In my case I intentionally wanted to put forward my concern and with some fortunate reason he obliged on a positive note. Discussing problems with others can offer new perspectives and potential solutions, making it easier to cope with challenges. Talking can relieve stress by allowing individuals to externalize their concerns and break down problems into smaller, more manageable parts.
In our day to day life, we might comes across a situation where we feel unhappy with other behaviours or attitude. It may be at our work place or in our friends circle. The first reaction to such scenario is to stop talking to that fellow. Instead of putting ahead our viewpoint we decide not to talk to that person and start avoiding. In such case, while the other person too get confused of the behaviours and the first person too not feel comfortable in their presence. In this way both the parties remain unhappy and clueless. It takes a little to make an effort and talk to clear all the doubts and confusion.
Talking, or communication, is crucial in every aspect of life, from personal relationships to professional success. It helps us connect with others, build relationships, and resolve conflicts. Effective communication also allows us to express our ideas, learn from others, and influence decisions. Talking about our concerns and problems can help us manage stress and feel less overwhelmed. Rather thannshoving away, just hold on for a while and talk. Because talking makes a huge differences.
In good faith - Peace!!
