I am now going to search your blog archives

Infact i was a strong believer of this quote which goes like – Keeping love alive involves a lot of hardwork, nurturing and sacrifice, understanding and nver taking each other for granted. It means not just finding a perfect person, but learning to love an imperfect person inspite of all the faults and blemishes.

It just sounds too rosy and cliched now.. as times have changed.. i have changed… he has changed.

Your post was indeed hilarious ! I’ve those same thots as u shared…. Moreover i was Anti-Marriage or wanna be Single type for quite sometime now until off late…

I am totally with you about Marriage being over rated in India….

We have become a shorcut society.
Wanna get a PR? Get married.
Wanna shut nosy parents and relatives up? Get married.
Want financial security? Get a husband.
Want a free maid? Get a wife.
Want a kid? Get married.
Oops, I’m gonna have a kid. Get married.
Suddenly doesn’t feel right? D I V O R C E
Perhaps the remote control and the toaster can be blamed.

At times i’ve also pondered that if given a choice i would be with someone minus a marriage. The fact that either of us could leave the relationship at any time and don’t would say a whole lot. If he does find someone “better” it will probably be because the other person IS better…for him, or that we just outgrow each other. I don’t think its a stigma to not marry and still have a partner. I think its ones own preference. Also being alone isn’t the same as lonely. I would rather hang out with my amazing friends, some married and some not. As long as I have my friends and family I can never be alone !

Nice one.

Hi, Sid here.

i could never figure it out when people say, “He’s the one”. i wonder how some people find their perfect one and others don’t. Luck, karma, destiny no clue.

I completely agree on you checklist point. Seriously, everything is in the external traits these days. Nobody cares about the grey matter or about being well read/spoken. Its all about the mnc you work for, the money you make, your favorite weekend hang out. Globalization makes everyone too cool for their own kind I reckon! Seriously, meeting anyone with such a checklist is plain ridiculous and pathetic. But that’s what everyone does. It’s a phenomenon. Off late, there is a monologue running in my head that marriage is over rated. No offense to anyone. I am completely for the institution of marriage but i think its importance and its core value is over rated in India.

You mite have a little laugh from this

The truth is nothing stays constant. If the other person does not change you might.

I guess one needs to take a chance. Sometimes the Mr. Right needs to be accepted with little imperfections too.

I believe being in this day and time, we are more independent than our parents, or earlier generations. Being out of house, more adventurous about our career decisions has not only made us stronger to survive in society as singles but also made us get over the fear of being alone. There are many happy couples, but every one of them has wondered at least once their life, “I could have done *this* or *that*, had I been single”.

In the end I think this whole Mr. Right and Perfect Girl dilemma is highly overrated, and as you rightly said, it’s all about adapting to change.

I swear I wanted to write one about the same topic, but now… you didn’t leave anything for me to write.
