Single

Proud to be single & unavailable !
A situation can mean so many different things to different people!
Recently I congratulated an old classmate when she (while I was online) changed her facebook status to married.
She replied saying she wasn't,
& had changed the status to ward off unwelcome advances ...
Never knew such was needed! Who knows, maybe successful single (read available) & mature (in THIS case, read bitter) women are so much in demand!
If I really were single, & had disposed of, or shaken off daily-basis responsibilities towards others (non-spouse-non-offspring), God knows what I'd be doing ...
Maybe I'd take an IVO foreign posting (if they gave me) ... perhaps I'd have become a RD personality before I die?
or maybe loan my way into Cambridge, knowing fully well I'll never be able to repay my way back home ...
or maybe I'd have gone back to Hyd, which I love, & watched it turn crowdier & unrulier ... & battled the cliche's & bitterness of "the field" ... (rehabilitation), perhaps I'd have become another of those old spinsters of Disability Rehab in India!!!
or maybe I'd have gone joined 'Rupantar' & lost myself in z roughness of this state ...Chhattisgarh
If suppose I also had a lot of money - none my own, but mine to spend ... well -  that's a completely different imagination altogether ...

About Me

Why does anyone write? Mostly, because they cannot help it ... Speaking requires an audience. Writing does not require a readership. When I started this blog, I was new at my job, just about to get married, highly confused about what to do with life, highly dissatisfied with myself, & devoid of any "responsibilites" as they say in Indian Middle Class. Oh yes! Also, I used to imagine the populace to be divided into 3 equal thirds, economically, & the middle third was the middle class. I was a "Young adult". Now I am a middle-aged auntie. & I have found out that the lower 90% is the lower class, the top 1% is the upper class, & I am the 9%.
