All the happy couples may singularly fail to get it, but being single isn’t half bad. In fact, it’s purely awesome – Something we keep relearning every time we get an eyeful of the drama that can play out over one changed ‘Last Seen At.’ If you’ve newly joined the singles club, here’s something that’ll make you want to stay here forever:
Not having in to check in with someone every time you return late
The absolute blessed freedom to come home and leave at whatever time you like, however late you like, without having to check in with the babysitter police.
Not being able to sleep at whatever time you like
No more prying your eyelids open with a toothpick for Skype calls at ungodly hours. Call us weird if you will, but we have no shame in saying that we take our sleep very seriously.
Not having to look good all the time
The relief of being able to get a zit on a Saturday evening without having to worry about looking less than perfect on a date almost makes it worth it sitting through KJo’s brand of mush, that somehow ALWAYS happens to be playing every time you switch on the telly.
Not having to worry about the future
No more desperately scrounging around for a convincing answer to all the awkward ‘Where do you see this relationship going?’ conversations.
Not having to worry what your partner’s family members think of you.
In all honesty, one set of inquisitive and impossible to please relatives is enough to last us a lifetime, without having to go through a Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi moment every time his mom steps in the room.
Not being able to hit on whoever you like
While being in a relationship is a magical experience, there’s no denying the relief of being able to let your eyes accidentally wander to the hot waitress without having hell to pay.
Not being able to watch whatever you want
Sorry, but it’s time to reclaim your TV ownership. About time someone listed the right to watch Brazil trounce Croatia without having a real life Ekta Kapoor soap playing out in your living room as a fundamental right.
