Lust is natural... "Sex is a part of the package. It is a small part of the big picture. It is an interesting part, though. It's a natural and basic instinct. Compatibility definitely matters. If we are not compatible with our partners then we really need to fix a few things. Lust is a human emotion and there should be no taboo about it. So if it exists between two people then it's great and if not then it can be worked upon. It is simple... nothing like getting the moon from the sky."
Heart-break mind-games
Priyanshu has his own take on heart-breaks. "I have had my share of heart-breaks. But now I realise that a heart-break is more of a mental preoccupation than an emotional one. It is more of what breaks in your head. The images and illusions that you've lived with and construed as true, when they break you feel the pain. I feel that it's more in the mind than in the heart."

What colours mean to me
"Red is the colour of revolution for me and so it reminds me of my first marriage. It was a revolutionary phase for me. It was also a phase of full of highs and lows. It was an enjoyable roller coaster ride... a very active phase of my life."
"White is my relationship with my parents. It is pure."
"Black is my relationship with night. Black to me represents evil and it is also the colour of night. I am a day person and I love to sleep at night. It's a colour best not dealt with. You have to just let black be."
"Saffron is my relationship with my country. Mine is an old country full of sadhus and sants . It a country full of knowledge and wisdom, which is what 'saffron' stands for."
Let bygones be...
But Priyanshu is not the kind to look behind with remorse. "Past relationships should have nothing to do with your present ones. You would not want to make the same mistake in your new relationship that you made in the past; similarly you would want to repeat something that was successful. Every individual is different so you have to take every relationship as it comes; you have to go with the flow. Of course, it takes time to get over past relationship. Healing and courage comes with time and you change as a person for the better."
Marriage is...
"Marriage is not a compromise. It is about what we want out of life for ourselves. And if we have that sorted out then everything falls into place. Marriage is a working relationship. It's not just about love and caring; you have to work over it from time to time. It is like going to work. It is not an easy thing, but still marriage is a beautiful institution."
Maturity in marriage...
"Lots of things can come in the way of a relationship and marriage. There should be a sense of maturity in a marriage. It is essentially what you want out of life. Where do you want to go and how far do you want to go? If you have your personal priorities right and your needs focussed then everything else falls into place. But if the relationship is immature, then it can never really go far.
My marriage was based on an immature relationship. Marriage is a man-made system and therefore, it needs a lot of maturity to handle it the right way. If we understand that then all's well. My faith in love marriage still remains. I don't know if marriages are made in heaven, but they are surely destined to happen. It's like luck favours the brave."
