We’ve all heard the saying “Raat Gayi Baat Gayi” but what does it really mean in our everyday lives? Simply put, it’s about learning to let go, moving on, and not carrying yesterday’s arguments into today. When we practice this, our relationships feel lighter and our hearts find more peace.

It sounds simple. But let’s be honest — how many of us actually follow it?
I’ll admit it — I’ve held on to arguments longer than I should have. Sometimes over silly things. A harsh word, a difference of opinion, or just an unnecessary ego clash. And later, when I think about it, I ask myself: “Was it really worth losing my peace of mind over this?”
