When you are not single you :

  • lose all the time and freedom that you once enjoyed !
  • are forced to change your orkut status and also unjoin all the ‘single’ communities!
  • are supposed to act exceptionally decent and friendly in public !
  • have to listen to “ when are we getting married” more than thrice a day. and the couples who have been married for more than a year, I really pity you guys. Oooops, gals too !
  • would be a victim of those filmy dialogues like “you don’t have time for me and all that you care is for your friends !”(please refer point number 1; you don’t have time for yourself yet you get blamed for not spending time. I mean, theres only 24 hrs in a day)
  • don’t get to eat everything and anything that you like !
  • have to find replies for annoying questions like, “who was on the call”, “where does all your money go”, “why is your friend (of the opposite sex) asking me too many questions”, “ do you even know what time it is”, “you drink???”, “oh, you don’t drink???”, “who is more important, yourself or me?”
  • have to answer mushy questions like, “do you remember the day we met”, “ do you still remember that stranger with the green shirt who was sitting beside us when we were having sipping coffee?”, “ do you remember we had water from this place?”, “don’t you think our love is divine?”, “ don’t you think our kids will be cute?”,"do you remember what we did on Feb 31st, 1.04 pm". Aaaaaarghhhh !!!
  • have to think twice to sport a beard ! (she might consider its sexy as long as its just a stuble but friends and relatives think you are ditched) This is applicable only to the male community unless…….
  • have to nod your head even if you disagree or do not understand a bit of what your counterpart is telling !
  • have to search for explanations (and it better be good ones) when you want to be friendly with a new person (obviously, of the opposite sex)!
  • would end up listening statements that freak you out - “There were/are so many behind me. You are lucky ‘cuz I chose you”, “You have changed so much”, “Our apartment will have this color and these type of furnitures”, “you are a hopeless romantic” !
  • have to attend calls in your deepest of sleep too.
  • would have to share your food, especially ice-creams.
  • have to get ready lying to friends and families.
Oh nooo, these arent any tips, I am just opening my mind a little too much. This, my friends, is called inviting trouble. LOL. These experiences did teach me a lot, but the sad part is that there isn’t an opportunity again for me to apply whatever I have learned. I am no pundit yet, but yes, I am getting there !!!

Disclaimer : A sage appeared in my dream and asked me to write this post. I am innocent and I have nothing to do with any of the above points.

PS: And yes, taking my present status into consideration, I am nominating this post for Poonams Avant Garde Bloggie Awards 2009 under "Most Courageous Post" !!

hahahaha :) good one dude....
one more:
When you are not single, you keep dreading the fact that your phone is going to ring all the time (especially when you are out with the guys getting sloshed).
and when you are single, you want the phone to ring all the time....

Reema said...

Poor thing you! So i assume u changed ur orkut status at last ;) LOL commitment is a state of mind..any orkut status wont make feel oneself committed unless one doesnt feel it from inside.

The difference between 'involvement' and 'commitment' is like an eggs-and-ham breakfast:

The chicken was 'involved'
The pig was 'committed'.

Rakesh Vanamali said...

Lol Vimmuuu...... I'm gonna wait n see how this is gonna play on ur life...... and sadly mine too :(((

Btw, I hope you got this post cleared for publishing, else its gonna be one tuf thing to manage.........

hmmm...
and after writing so much,looks like we r d one who keep eating up ur head,right.

nw u know how many things u r going to listern from ur girl for commenting so much.....

u dont change ur orkut status coz u know dt onces it is committed,thn girlz will not b intrested in u..

u dont remember things coz u juz dont pay attention to what we are saying,infact u dont care abt wht we say.looks like u some times u take us for granted....n u keep wanderind in ur own stupid thoughts of sports n all guys crapy stuffs...and so when we when we ask abt nethng form the past u have no answer...

n y cant u be decent n emotional..afterall,dtz wht we need...
n ofcourse we need time n sometimes we have to remind u that we r still present in the world"call me.i m
waiting"....

and lots of other thngs....
and finally we dont scream n cry "i m not single ne more,why why why..mama"

Anonymous said...

Anonymous said...

Already a nomination for the "Most courageous post"!! So, instead of seeing the Devdas you, we are going to see the beaten black & blue you! :D
You forgot your high telephone bills, gifts for days like the first day we commented on each other's blog, day we spoke to each other over phone, day we said our parents met us, day we told our parents...well you get the gist!! :D
When you are not single, get off those single communities! Common sense ya! :)

Anonymous said...

Just because of that sage disclaimer, I let you go of my scathing comments.

Ha! Ha..just kidding. So did you change your Orkut status?

Nautankey said...

LOL..its not even a few months man. Comeon now stop cribbing like a baby and go and attend that call to explain who is that good-looking female in green tops found in ur orkut friend's list. Better think of a proper explanation else u wont be there to get any awards :P

Sangeetha a tip..njoy this time of uers the most coz u are going see "MORE" changes in him after marriage..believe me its my experience :). The best time is before marriage for us gulz too !!:)..Some my exp. -
1. You like something - Before - oh u like that one sec I'll buy that for u..After - do u really need that?? Don't you think its too expensive??
2. Before -You talk for hours everyday, after - hmm what to talk, we are seeing each other daily right..lets watch some movie!!
3. Before - We'll have 2 kids or more?? After - Do u want it so soon?? Can't we have some more time?? Just one ok..not more..I can't..:)

Ahh..let me stop here..my list will go and on :)..Sorry Vims this comment is for Sangeetha..hope u pass on the tips to her!!

Smitha said...

Oh that was good :) Congrats on 'not being single anymore ' :) Have to show this to my husband - am sure he will even be happy to comment on it for a change :)
Am waiting to see what you say once you get married :)

Anonymous said...

Oops forgot some tips to remember though..again talking from my 6 six yrs of married life and a yr before that..
1. Trust - I am sure u must heard it everywehere..but its the most imp thing in any relationship..and most imp. when u are getting married coz this is the person u are going to spend rest of uer life. Have the confidence always that "whatever it may be I know he/she will not let me down". Even after that if he/she does then he/she doesn't deserve u!!
2. Respect each others space..very very imp.. The moment you try to invade others space believe me there are chances to drift apart ...what I have known is if u follow the first tip..this automatically comes.
3. Never ever go to bed angry ( u are bound to have arguments!!)..don't carry it over to the next day..always make it up..A kiss, hug and a sorry ( if u are wrong/not wrong) and that will solve all the problem :)..
4. Last but not the least never compare uer other half with anybody..everyone is different..he/she is good in his/her own way..Luv the way they are!!
All the very best for the future!!

P.S. let us know if ur girlfriend really ditches u after reading this!! :D

Anonymous said...

I am laughing at each and every point but what made me to ROFL is the disclaimer.. innocent you? unbelievable ;)

Anonymous said...

Whatever guys feel is alltime correct and girls dont remember what guys tell them to do, except to think old stupid memories and expect even boys to remember what they dont forget, inspite of so many other commitments which guys have!

Mario said...

I like that ,,, i assume that you knew all these before you ventured into it ,,,but what i could possible suggest to you if at all your open to suggestions ,, as you put out a list of all the sacrifices you would have to do when u get into a relationship ,, y not u list down all the positives that come out of it as well ,, so that you could match between the two and find out what reigns supreme at the end......just a suggestion.

Praveen said...

courageous post indeed!
am sure u'll pay loads for those few sentences in ur blog...all ur life..hahahhahahaa

Viviiiiii said...

Good one ..
better get used to it ..
I presume tat u have explained this to ur loved one already .. and u didnt see any change .. probably tats wat resulted in this..
hehehe

Rakesh said...

i think the sage is going to be dead meat now!!

hey bhai i also heard tht the members of "Frustated singles" community are out to hunt u down for betraying them!hehe

There have been a lot of times, when we( singles)get tormented, taunted and tortured by the mushy-mushy couples and their disgusting romantic tantrums. People might call it jealousy, but we dont care a damn ( or do we?) ! Hence, this is a forum where you could free your mind from the above mentioned 3 T’s and share your views about the same.
This forum is only for the singles, so married and committed would be shot, and survivors would be shot again!!!’


and now look who's talking..hahha


anyway bhai..i have also started blogging..chk it out..i need ur valuable opinion coz it was u who gave me motivation..hehe

Smita said...

Looks like the sage has disappeared....no guesses as to what happened to him :D

Poonam Sharma said...

ha ha I will keep your nomination in mind for next year Avant Garde. :) I will have to check out your orkut stsus, so this si why you are blogging less.

When are you getting married? :P :P

(You dont have to answer it, I am kidding.)

A universal fact about women:

From 30 feet away she looked like a lot of class. From 10 feet away she looked like something made up to be seen from 30 feet away.

One thing I found as I researched was that the buyer must beware and use due
diligence in choosing a merchant. It is now possible for people to get together
online. According to the Voice of America website, Chinese users have already been released.

Viewers scrambled to the Student Loan People auction site itself.
There is a replica however that travels from place to place in the
student loan people. It is customary for a ton of money for each
sale.
