I know a whole bunch of single people. People who are not in a relationship. Some who have just gotten out of one, some who have never been in one, some who are in something but which is not a relationship and some who I don't know but are single - so I suppose these people don't fall in the "I know a whole bunch of single people" category - but in the "I know Of a whole bunch of single people as well" category. I've heard their stories.
Everyone seems to think the grass is greener on the other side. Well, ofcourse there are exceptions, but then they fall into this very very small category of people who are satisfied at what they have now and that includes me. Well, what makes these people think that the grass is greener on the other side ? I could come up with a lot of answers. And all those answers were from my personal experiences. There was a time when i used to think that everything that happened to me were as unique as my mom's sambhar ( Yes, there is no sambhar in this world as good as and as unique as my mom's ) is in this world. But then i realised it wasn't so, wanting to love, falling in love and all those symptoms around them were pretty much very common around the world. Its just that i realised that very late.
People who are single :
The entire world has opened up / has been open for a while, for them. It works fine for those who aren't looking for a relationship - they just cruise along, have their fun, free of responsibility, of serious thoughts on where to be, how to grow up elegantly and how to not kick and scream as the last light of childhood blinks a couple of times and disappears.
However, its impossible not to think where your life is going. Who will you meet, how will they floor you, and how would you be with them. The heart always searches for that one person who will make bells ring, lights glow, leaves fly, and your heart float in ecstasy. How will you find that person ? Well, you don't. They will come to you, hit you so hard and probably make your heart dance and sing to their music. You won't even know. The chances that an arranged marriage will bring you that person is very unlikely. Just pray you were born with a bag full of luck and chances are that you will find that special person.
People who are in a relationship :
Unless you have a gem of a partner, it is least likely you would not want the relationship to end at some point. You don't have time for yourself, everything in you has been changed to suit your partner's preferences, you can't emote as you would like, and every other person in the opposite sex other than your partner looks a better choice. For you, being single looks heaven. Not everything is as it looks. Things have changed from the point you entered the relationship. And being single is the hardest thing once you could face. You won't have someone to talk to everyday, you won't have someone to appreciate you every single moment, you won't have love. This is when you are at your most vulnerable and chances are that you will make the worst choices of your life during this period.
Unless you are being abused by your partner every single day, unless you don't like to see their face anymore, unless you have another partner, just don't quit, give it one more chance.
People who are in the 3 rd Category :
You are confused. Sambhar tastes like Rasam. People look like zombies. And you want to think you are not fine. Well, you idiots, you are the best placed people. You are single, you can make judgments on experience and you can find the love of your life your way. Or atleast you know how to make your life the way you want. Happy to be in this category. Vodkas are not going to save you, Clear heads will. So heads up and go find your special person. By the law of luck, they are somewhere near you, find them and don't ever let them go. Once lost, you are not going to get them back. Luck waits for none, make the most of it.
What's the bloody point of this post ? Don't ask me. I have no idea. And i really don't prefer grass, I'm more of the beach and sand type :)
