Being Single and Introvert

-
*This article is an entry for the February Blog of the Month Competition*



For some people in the world being single means being miserable but if you are to ask an introvert, Oh boy! For us being single is like a blessing. It is like an armor that protects us from all socially awkward situations like having an actual conversation. When you are an extrovert, you tend to be more socially outgoing and rowdy. People know you, they invite you to their places, they try to form relations with you. These are the exact things we, introverts are allergic to. We, introverts are so single that if we are in chaotic place and someone yells our name, we won’t bother turning around because we are dead sure the call was not for us.
We love being single. Actually, we are in a relationship with our solitude, and we believe it to be "Ishq Wala Love," and we will fulfil it till death does us apart. We have a problem with breaking the ice, so we think why bother starting one. Being single, we don't have to share our alone time which we spend reading books, painting, watching the sky and most importantly sleeping, with anyone. To me, this is itself a massive blessing so if you are to say 'Hey! You know what? With a partner you share everything, your life, your time, your things.' Then, for us, that is scary. Like, what do you mean no alone time? That we must have conversations, that too everyday. Nooo!! Listen to this, being an introvert and single is the best combination. The kind that you will not find in any Subway.
It’s not that we hate to having relationships considering our favorite characters includes Sherlock Holmes; It’s just that we are very specific about who we choose to share our solitude with. In a world where relationships are formed and broken at the speed of light, I think there is nothing wrong in being slightly introverted.

USMLE stands for United States Medical Licensing Examination. In order to practice in the U.S., all medical students whether IMGs (international medical graduates) or AMGs (American Medical Graduates) have to give this series of exams. Only then does an international medical graduate become ECFMG certified and legally allowed to practice in the United States. ( ECFMG stands for educational commission for foreign medical students. ECFMG acts as the registration and score-reporting agency for the USMLE for foreign medical students/graduates, or in short, it acts as the designated Dean's office for International Medical Graduates in contrast to the American Medical Graduates). It conducts three examinations: Step 1, Step 2CK, Step 2CS. The ECFMG certificate is issued to a physician if he or she passes the above the three exams within a time period of seven years.)

Reflection of my moon

Last night, your faded memory came to me, As in the wilderness, spring comes quietly, As slowly in desert, moves the breeze, As to a sick man, without cause, comes peace! The moon of my night, an oasis for my deserted soul and a heavenly shelter from cold buffets of life, was my mother. It was a scenic day glittering with the serene sunshine in the blue sky. That day, she had completely recovered from the demon of hepatitis. The vivacity of life was sparkling in her eyes. The omen of life had totally exalted her to a novel perseverance. She had grabbed the silky life with her caressing hands. The life to her meant her children. The moon of Ramadan was surely an omen of joy for us. We had scheduled our sister's wedding. In that reference, my father and mother were to leave for another city. I bade them farewell under God's heaven and saw them off. "Life is going to be beautiful," I smiled to myself and went to the bed. Suddenly at midnight, violent knocking at ...

آ دکھاؤں تجھے چیخوں کا خاموشی سے نکلنا، پھر مر جانا۔۔                                                                           زندگی میں جہاں خوشیوں پر رقص ہوتا ہے، وہیں غم و ماتم کا عکس بھی ہوتا ہے، آسانیاں آتیں ہیں مگر مشکلات کے ساتھ۔۔ بعض دفعہ مشکل  نہیں لگتا خود کو درد سے نکال لینا، اذیتوں کے سمندر کی گہرائی میں ڈوب کر کنارے تک ابھرنا اور یہ ثابت کر دینا کہ اگر درد میں دم ہے تو ہم بھی کم نہیں۔۔ مگر ہاں ہر بار، ہر جگہ، ہر کسی کے ساتھ ایسا نہیں ہوتا، جب درد انسان کو کرچی کرچی کردینا چاہے اور سمیٹنے کو شیشہ گر بھی نہ ہو کہ کرچیاں ہی سمیٹ لے، جب ماضی، کسی کے حال اور مستقبل کو اس طرح گھیر لے کہ جینا اور مرنا ایک سا ہو ...
