Happily Single

A cloudy evening and i was standing in the PESIT campus few years back ( Back then in the first year of engineering ).One of the guys then remarked one needs three things to enjoy in bangalore, namely ,money,friends, a girlfriend.Though not in the same order.I begged to differ then and i hold the views now.A Lot has changed between then and now.

So when someone sometime back said i need to get a girl i felt a little irked.Its not that i actively keep them at bay or actively run after a few.Its just that if it happens it happens.More than that i see a lot of upside of not being in a relationship( atleast as of now )All those guys who lament about not having a girl in their life would readily benefit by reading this post.

So here we go advantages of not having a girlfriend :

1)For chocoholics ( maybe that term does not exist in the standard dictionary yet but then i see it coming ) like me you can enjoy the complete bar of choclate without having to share it with anyone.What a blissful satisfaction that is.As for alcoholics no need to worry about waking up by 12 on a sunday morning so that you don't miss the lunch date.


2)You don't have to suffer movies like Ek choti si love story and Leela in a single day.No need to miss your favourite Bond flick.No sobbing sounds from the person sitting next to you in the theatre.

3)You don't have to answer that question " Am i looking fat? "

4)You don't have to understand the differences between mauve and peach.Anything that looks decent and is ironed is fine for office, as for weekends almost anything is fine.

5)I forget my own birthday ( Believe me it has happend with me once )forget about remembering hers.How many birthdays do you remember ?

6)How could i miss this one , phone conversations are over in 30 secs flat without a girlfriend.One need not suffer forced insomnia because someone at the other end of the phone keeps on rambling.How would you feel if you had to suffer the following conversation almost everyday?


How was ur day ?

Oh it was great, i went to work, had lunch andcame back.I dreamt about you with open eyes all day long and just can't get you of my mind

So sweet !!!

hmmm ( Damn it i don't know why they use the same adjectives sweet and cute for you as well as the dog next door )

So what did you have for lunch ?

Roti,sabji,dal and rice.

Same same , i also had that.So nice na we had the same thing.

Yes so nice ( As if i give a damn, i just had something because i had to have something to fill my stomach and get back to work)

U know what i saw a new dress today, it was similar to the one we saw last weekend in forum.But this one is a baby pink the exact shade that i wanted.

Thats great ( As if i understand the difference between baby pink and adult pink )

So when r u buying me that? After all our anniversary is approaching ...

he he , is it? ( i don't know what day of the month it is today )

And then this goes on and on for hours before you drop dead with sleep.


7)You need not worry about whether u r shaved or not (atleast not on the weekend )If you are a smoker then no worries about smelling bad.

8)Two pairs of shoes are more than enough.You can have food at the roadside dhaba or at ebony whereever you wish.Looking for eye tonic is not a sin!!!

So to all those who rave and rant about being single especially guys, it is not all that bad.Please get a life get a hobby.If it has to happen then it will.Life is not sad or boring or any of those dumb adjectives without being in a relationship.
