*This is an entry for the February Blog of the Month Competition* There's a very common saying that goes around here: Pyaar muhabbat dhoka hai, parh lay beta moqa hai! Love is nothing but betrayal, study while you can. This has been so deeply engrossed in my mind that I can surely say this is one of the solid reasons I'm still single (leaving out my relationship with Guyton and Hall at the moment, which I assure is totally one-sided because that weak bond is nothing but torture). Being single has its flaws, flaws that make you wonder, 'Is it finally time I go up to my parents and ask them to find me a human that'll make me feel less lonely and pay for my clothes and get me biryani whenever I crave it (which is very often)?' But then, the half of me that's still in its senses slaps my dramatic, lonely half back to its senses and tells me to go through all the stuff I won't be able to do once I officially tie the knot and honestly, I'm thankful for th...

* This is an entry for the February Blog of the Month Competition Freedom.  No regrets. No worries. Life is that simple only if we observe. Being in a relationship is a good thing. But one thing we all must know is that sometimes, relationships don't turn out as expected.  Two different individuals are compatible to some extent, but sometimes, they can't agree with each other on the same point.

We can live our dreams without even a second thought of what our partner has to say about it! We totally accept our flaws and admit our mistakes to ourselves without any guilt. Being single doesn't make us wait for o...

  *This is an entry for the February Blog of the Month Competition "Single, Ready to Mingle!" I read this statement somewhere while browsing the other day and I was super amazed! I've never been in a relationship before but that doesn't bother me even one bit.  Being single doesn't mean being alone. Maybe you haven't found the right person yet, or maybe you consider yourself enough for now. As I read somewhere, "Single is not a status. It is a word that describes a person who's strong enough to enjoy life without depending upon others." From people desperate to switch their relationship status to "taken", to those who have never cared about the thought of being in a relationship, I think the latter ones are better. This is not because I'm an advocate of singlehood, but because these relationships are toxic, temporary and end up in mere heartbreaks. Being single, on the other hand, gives you complete freedom to ...
