Why I am still single!!!

First of all, this piece is not my personal story. This is dedicated to all those guy friends (don’t read as boy friends please, especially Karan Johor’s recent fans) of mine who are still single. In past 7-8 years continuously whose mouths will open little wide, when a beautiful (sorry…. any) girl passes by. Their dedication towards every girl whom they meet or see is worth appreciating, but alas! That ugly-faced* never even turns back and sees. So from hereon I will try to mention ‘We’ instead of ‘I’.

Ok let us try to decode this Morse code. Before starting why we don’t have girlfriends, first, why we need girlfriends? Is it just because we can share something, might be personal, with her? That of course we can share with our guy friend also and maybe more frankly. What matters more is the trust, than whether the person is guy or a girl in this case.

If you have a girlfriend, you might have to wish her on her birthday at 12.00 AM, or else she will get angry and cry on your face next day. You might have to give her a nice present. What you have to give to your boy friend is only birthday bums and a common line – “You are grown up now. Still expecting gifts like kids. Chi. Grow up.”

Valentine day is another big example, where you might have to open your pockets for your girlfriend. While, your guy friend, ha ha ha. “Are you crazy? Such things are not allowed in Indian culture. What people will think if we both go outside together today? Some other day dude.” And that other day should never come.

But even after so many defects and maintenance expenditures, we still need a girlfriend. Why? Few need to show off to their buddies, that he has one; they hardly care for each other. Few just do it for fun. But why I need one?

A big debatable topic is which is better-“Love marriage or Arranged Marriage?” Anyways I am not going to discuss much about that. Both have pros and cons. Against arranged marriage, we can tell that how can one marry one stranger? That too when momma tells from beginning that you shouldn’t even talk to a stranger. On the other hand, love marriage lacks security in many cases. At least number of incidents tells that.

What I believe in is Arranged-love marriage. It is better to know someone before marriage. This allows having a better respect for your partner, and clear understanding of their needs and desires. And if everything suits, then hardly there will be any compromise, rather it will be complimentary to each other. If you don’t know her before marriage, then subsequently you people might have to spend few initial years (gem years) in understanding each other. And there can be compromises also, as there is no rewind button in life after marriage.

So it’s better to start a relationship as a friend, and if we understand and suit each other, we can change our relationship status later. The person with whom we have shared our best laughs, toughest problem days, sweet memories, bitter fights, it will be quite easy to share life with them. In short we need to have a good understanding before hand. So guys, I do need a girlfriend.

Now, one questionable topic, why we don’t have girlfriends, when we need one? Ask some smart guy, and he will answer that he doesn’t have time to run behind them, so even when he needs, he doesn’t have one. What is it that girls look out for? Is it brain, looks, physical fitness, smartness, bikes (cars added advantage), good at heart, richness, sense of humor, or blah blah? What is it that guys look out for? A girl. J

I gathered courage one day, and asked one girl. What is that you people look out for in a guy?
Girl: Listen, looks hardly matter. What matters most is that he should be good at heart.

Everything came in front of my eyes like a flash back. My parents, my relatives, my teachers, everyone were telling me that I am so good at heart in different episodes. I don’t remember I was so happy in recent times ever before. That entire flash back was a big block buster for me. Still I came back home, discussed with my friends about this, and they all told that this is the right time and right girl to propose. Next day, once again I gathered courage, and went and met her and proposed. Her reply was awesome.

Girl: Hey common! What are you saying? We are just friends’ yaar.
Me: But I like you, and I am very good at heart and anyways for you, looks don’t matter right.
Girl: Uffff. Give me a break. That I had simply told because I am good at heart. And you took it seriously. Poor chap.

This didn’t hurt that much, how much this fact that all my room mates were just hiding behind that bush and heard the whole conversation, and never allowed me a chance to protect my ijjat. I will never forgive those rascals.

Anyways, there are still people in world, who fit into all qualities expected by girls, still they are single. Why? I think the only answer to this question is “Girls are impossible to understand”.

The last statement is pretty genuine as it goes with the popular proverb “The grapes are sour”. (Angoor khatte hain!!!!). And even I agree with it proudly. Because they are sour for me too. Being in a democratic country like India, and following politics, what we have learnt is blaming others. (‘Us not having girlfriends’ on girls only telling that it’s their bad luck)

But reality is LuckByChance I am still single, and searching for one. So appeal to all girl readers, who are still single, you know where to contact me. I am still good at heart. :D Mummy!!! :-‘( I am still single.
