Single, Happy to Mingle, but no Jingle...
I have heard many of my friends saying staying single has its benefits & yes many disadvantages too. Was I politically correct by saying 'benefits' (though plural) & 'many disadvantages'(plural with emphasis on "many")? Perhaps! I have been single for a long time now, though I dated for a year or so & now back in the same fraternity.
Things were indeed fantastic then. As a couple sharing the time, the waiting(though obnoxious for me) had its own kick which one would get only with something as addiction as nastier it could be, meeting, the lies to your friends, families & foes(from work :P), the aimless walks near the beaches(though, I used to take her to ponds & lakes(wondering where did I find them in Mumbai, well that is a secret you will know only if you are girl dating me, guys consulting & information will cost you)), those unnecessary rants about things that don't bother us(always from her), the gifts(pinches in my pockets many times), the long drives(that was my favorite!!!), those talks & commitments(which were without the knowledge of consequences), those often visited places(for the lack of limited places one can actually go as a working person in Mumbai), those days & anniversaries(I must appreciate, I remembered more than her; "the 100 days of first this" & "the one year of first that"; gosh!), those movie times(well my choices she did not like & her tastes weren't mine, so we will end up at the Cinema Hall's choice for the sake of magnificient mall; somehow most women like Malls, I don't know why? It is just Glass Building with so many people & shops to confuse men. I guess you understood, Malls are not my favorite!), those constant watch on each others' looks & weight(mostly by her, I did not care so much so about these things), the constant monitoring of where I am looking(where she was looking I did not have to care, since she was monitoring me :P) & many such things... The Goods & Bads... Life is such with bed of roses & thorns around it which do not tear your skin like a knife but pricks you such that you have to give the healing touch of yourself & put it back into your mouth.
Being a single had its benefits of many things such as being alone for a drive(where I can zoom it carelessly), going to places(without the baggage or waiting or planning) and as such. Though fun a lot, the things start sinking when it pricks to see couples having happy times(I don't mean vulgar or censored) and the feeling of being alone.
Face it, man cannot live alone and hence he made partners, community and eventually a kingdom. Man evolved from animal but he is less of an animal and would prefer to stay with his kind rather than just enjoying the nature. As for now, I am enjoying the nature with her... :P Where? Don't ask! I need some time alone with her, for you I have this boring blog. As soon as I will be back, I will post some snaps - minus her obviously.
Did you all realize, by her I meant whom? Keep guessing...
