“I think you still love me, but we can’t escape the fact that I’m not enough for you. I knew this was going to happen. So I’m not blaming you for falling in love with another woman. I’m not angry, either. I should be, but I’m not. I just feel pain. A lot of pain. I thought I could imagine how much this would hurt, but I was wrong.” ― Haruki Murakami, South of the Border, West of the Sun Infidelity is a majorly hyped concept in the modern-day world. Sure! And why wouldn’t it be? Considering the emergence of…

People are allured and drawn towards the forbidden. They want what they can’t have and want it even at the cost of their high regards for morality and loyalty. Such a desire to achieve the forbidden is one of the reasons why people cheat. When someone’s in a serious relationship, people keep warning you not to cheat on your significant other and that’s when reverse psychology comes into play. So, well, people are bound to cheat, alright! However, just because someone doesn’t cheat on you doesn’t implied that they are not attracted by anyone else at any instant. It simply…

Ever since the beginning of time, women and men have indulged themselves in the debate and arguments regarding what they find unappealing and appalling about their counterparts. Some might come forth with the comment that expecting someone to be perfect is unreasonable when you cannot meet the same standard ever in your lifetime. Although that’s true, it’s inevitable for people, in general, to criticise one another for the traits and attributes that someone might possess which they find absolutely ridiculous. Our discussion today shall be centred on what guys find unattractive in women. And well, let me tell you at…

We’ve all been told about how, in principle, age is just a number but nonetheless, when implementing the same in the real life, people seem to exhibit a sign of compunction. There are countless movies or TV series where a person has dumped their partner because of how old or young they were and the impact that the age gap had on their relationship. The mystery prevails. It’s quite surprising that most of the men are more accepting of the age difference than women. While women are found to be hesitant enough to court an older man, the preference of…

You may be a Dornan, or a Skarsgard or a Hemsworth but you might not be getting the desired attention from the women around you in the way the likes of Jamie Dornan, Chris Hemsworth or Alexander Skarsgard do. What could possibly lead to such situations? Has this thought ever crossed your mind? Many of us, men or women, are well aware of the attention that is paid towards us whenever we walk out of our doorstep. And when the attention fades gradually, we often wonder what might have gone wrong. Moreso, we get a sense that there must be…

The dictionary defines a perfectionist as a) a person who adheres to or believes in perfectionism, b)a person who demands perfection of himself, herself or others. Being the kind of the fancy word that it is, I liked to call myself a perfectionist in the former years. A calming sense of relief ran down my spine when everything in my field of vision was perfectly organized. So, I silently moved towards the label of perfectionism. But little did I know back then that perfectionists aren’t thought highly of. Coming back to the definition, I am okay with part (a) of…

I’ve had quite a conflicted mentality ever since I was a child. I remember trying to fit in the boundaries and the stereotypes set by the society. I recall the moments when I sacrificed my happiness just to make someone else happy, as yet another attempt to fit in. I squeezed my soul and crunched it so much so that I had my first crush on someone just because every other person in the class liked them. Ergo, to have something in common to talk about, I embraced what appeared to be the norm of the class and forced myself…

Welcome to my blog! Since you are here, I presume that you are either fighting the urge to get married, seeking suggestion to impart to a cousin or a relative who is too young to realise that they are making a mistake by getting hitched way ahead of time or simply looking for a like-minded person who shares the same view of considering marriage somewhere in the 30s as you do. Whatever the case be, I assure you that you’ve managed to land on your desired side of the web and that you won’t be disappointed. Marriage is an institution…

Being a nerd was nothing short of committing a social suicide in the decades that passed by. It was well documented in the TV series, sitcoms, and movies that if you stayed single throughout high-school and didn’t get laid like the other cool jockeys in your school, your nerdiness was to be blamed. I have my share of experience too. I was a nerd and I still am. Well, I had a crush on this guy in school. But when he heard through the grapevine about how attracted I was towards him, he was quoted saying, “ I don’t like…

What is the meaning of being resilient? What makes a person resilient? The dictionary definition of resilience is stated as the power or ability to return to the original form after being bent, compressed or stretched; ability to recover readily from illness, depression, adversity or the like; buoyancy. I’m sure you must have heard the saying that goes, “ If life throws lemons at you, make a lemonade.” Well, the process of making a “lemonade” and actually developing a mindset to make a lemonade whatsoever is resilience. What I’m trying to imply is that we, the living beings, face several…
