Happily Single



It’s funny how a random conversation that you have with someone can trigger off a chain of thoughts in your head, ultimately leading to a whole new post on something you never thought you will EVER be thinking about. Frankly, this whole deliberation on which is better, Single-hood or being committed, has no answer to it. To each, their own. But, here is why I think I like being the way I am.


  • Okay. Firstly there is lot less tension in your head and your life is far less complicated (in general).
  • You don’t have to go through the trauma of being dumped or experience the sardonic pleasure of dumping someone (which, btw, according to me, is not right! You have no right to play with other’s emotions! How can u dump someone who loves you??? :O ) and hence carry the burden of a guilty conscience(I am telling you, its not right!) It’s best to learn from other’s mistakes and lead a peaceful life.
  • Your playlist has all kinds of songs and you don’t need to change them according to your status (status=going-to-be-committed or committed or break-up-phase or patch-up-phase).
  • You don’t develop a particularly strong feeling (liking or hatred) for any particular song cause it reminds you of a particular something or suits your situation perfectly. (and this point is of particular importance to me cause I am particularly fond of listening to music :P).
  • You don’t have nightmares each time your bf’s (or gf’s) birthday approaches, thinking about what to gift this time around. (And its much easier on the pocket as well :P) Oh! and I forgot about Valentine’s day and the different anniversaries that require similar preparations :P
  • No jealousy pangs, no volley of questions being fired at u if your phone happens to be engaged late at night (for perfectly innocent reasons).
  • No tears, no heart-burns and heart-breaks, a nice stress-free and peaceful life.
  • You have the total freedom to meet whomever you want to, go wherever you wanna go and basically lead a totally independent life.
  • You save a lot of expenditure as far as your phone bills are concerned, and the money saved can be used more productively in shopping, going out with friends or pampering yourself :P
  • You can ogle at all the cute guys as much as you want, without the guilt factor (and also without anyone shooting you nasty disapproving glances at you)

  • Your dreams are your own, you know how you can flip them into reality and you have nothing to impinge on the choices you make.


    So yeah! No wonder I am single and happy and I am sure a lot of others are gonna agree with me and this post.


p.s. I am again getting addicted to the song “Beautiful Soul “by Jesse McCartney! Love the lyrics!
