Abstract
It is generally acknowledged that, human kind makes every effort for continuous happiness and prosperity. But, ‘are we happy?’, it is a million-dollar question. Most of the time, we fail in maintaining our relationships, thus paving way to disharmony. This disharmony leads to unhappiness and hinders the professional as well as personal growth and treacherous of all, creates inner conflict. The disharmony in relationships of mother and daughter, father and daughter, husband and wife are studied in the context of Shashi Deshpande’s The Dark Holds no Terrors in this paper and also highlights how right understanding and natural acceptance of an individual could bring harmony in the life which in turn reflects mutual happiness.
Keywords: Disharmony, natural acceptance, relationship, prosperity, right understanding
