The 14^th February is gone and with it the week of romance and love ends. Now you can go back to the older you. Ignore her, do not call her up, make her wait for you, rebuke her, call her a bitch and do whatever you want to do, because the Valentine week is over and nobody is gonna ask u ‘how your relationship is going? And what new surprise you has got planned for her?’

Don’t you think the times of romance are now gone by? Don’t you think now we live in an Era where Love is basically a need? Don’t you agree with me that you are not in Love, you are just in a Relationship?

It was easier for you to enamor her because she too was looking for Someone like you—make it a note you had list of qualities when you were looking for someone; while love always was and will be a serendipity—and hence one day when you guys were enjoying drinks over a football match in a sports bar Love happened.

The first look was basically a test to check whether she qualifies all the eligibility criteria or not, whether she has cute curves or not, whether she has a dimple or not and whether she is hot or not.

We have re-defined things and transformed Love into a Relationship. Yep! You are not in Love, you are just in a Relationship.
If you are considering her before Signing Up for companionship you are subconsciously making an inventory of terms and conditions. You are concentrating more on plus points and less on the negative ones. Once the agreement is signed by both of you. You acquire a right to cash on all the discount coupons your partner is providing you with. You will cover the first base then the second base, you will be taking your hands in all the places and one day you will realize it is all boring and this relationship has got nothing new to offer and baaam you will break up! Now you are single—a time to re-work on the demerits you have as a human—and you are again looking for someone to fall in love(relationship) with.

You will meet another chick at another bar; her cute breast will inspire you to take over, her modern intellect with a sexy demeanor will inspire many things inside you, and her round ass will just sweep the floor making you Fall in Love again. You will approach her with a grin on your face, she will turn around, look at you( a quick check) and congratulations you are in love(relationship) again.

The same old paradigm will be repeated, the first base, the second base, hands in all the weird places and then BREAK UP!!!
You know what went wrong? The inventory you made before signing up for a relationship—it had all the pros and no cons—with the girl you met an hour ago. Relationship is like a coin, it has two faces. Till the time heads is up you can enjoy all the so called features she has. O

nce the coin gets flipped you will realize how moody and irritating the person you are dating is! But then what to do? Leave her and find someone else?
Nope! Not again, don’t follow the same old paradigm of falling in love instead realize what Love is
? Help yourself become a better partner and then wait for the one who inspire you in the same way every other girl did, enamor her again, take her too to bed and your hands in all the cozy places and when every coupon she had is spent, wait look at her smile, if it inspires you equally spend your life with her; because love is not about the things your partner has got to serve you with love is about sticking together even when you have nothing.

We are so Clichéd...

This article was written for Half Baked Beans' blog and was published in my University's Monthly Newspaper too...

It was the pen-ultimate day of my school life, when I was summoned on the stage to give a Talk on School life. It was my Ted-X talk, but I was not there to speak about the paradigm that changed my life or to impart some techniques about enjoying school life to the juniors who stood there with sheer enthusiasm and primal expectation.

What I actually spoke that day was about the journey I had at the school and when I finished everyone did clap for me.
Today, after 3 long years when I look back to the D-day, I wish I would have been bit more specific about the choice of topic I made and I wish, I would have leveraged them with bit of more ‘gyan’ about life, but the irony is, I learned the things only when I came out of that school.

In school we were always coaxed to follow the clichéd pattern by teachers and by our dear parents, but when you grow up and join college you realize ‘I am so clichéd’, things like ‘out of box thinking’ will box you and your enthusiasm down leaving you alone to curse the way you lived your school life.

Remember there’s no gain in following the rules all your life and get rejected on the day of placements with a remark “We are looking for someone Unique”.

Things I wish I had known during school life: -

·       Do not Rush, Consider the options: - If I am back in school again and someone questions me about my plans; I’d say that my priority is to known what the options are.
All you need to do is discover things you like and once done with the research pursue it with full passion, because the famous quote by Steve Jobs goes like-
‘The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it’.

·       What you think and what you want are two different things: - When you pass out of your school and join college then you will feel ‘hot summer of your hometown is much soothing than the cold impassive whips of college’. Computer science engineering is not about installing windows and defragmenting unorganized files on the disk.

In school your Principal will manage things for you and after school your own Principles will take you everywhere.
