Everything has its pros and cons and so does single hood. I, however, wish to list all the pros of being single… (Not that I'm disillusioned or against a relationship)
1. You save much of your pocket money.
2. You’re not answerable to anyone.
3. You have the worlds time to explore your own interests, discover yourself,
introspect and do all those things that you always wanted to…
4. You don't need to remember unnecessary anniversary dates.
5. You don’t spend hours sticking your ears 2 your cell phone listening to some
really stupid stuff.
6. You don’t spend hours decoding her silence, behaviour, antics, actions or comments
7. You can walk freely in public places without the fear of been seen by someone unexpected.
8. You dress for yourself and ONLY yourself
9. You don’t need to craft innovative lies and rack your brains endlessly (in
case of clandestine affairs & all those accountable at home)
10.You don’t need to spend a fortune for those corner seats in the theater.
11.You are not required to take pictures of various unnecessary moods and occasion.
12.You don’t need to hide your personal messages from your friends

The following are especially after a break up

1. The playlist in your cell phone undergoes a drastic change
2. You party with your friends more often just to ‘Blow off steam’.
3. You find some girls much better than the one you had…(in all respects).
4. You are no more at receiving end emotional blackmail and sheer dominance.
5. And… you have every freedom to oogle at chicks around u and flirt
unabashedly LOL.

yes, probably that's why we are single. But on a serious note, it's good only if you are single by choice and not by compulsion.

an ordinary man said...

@ Pratiksha...gud to hear dat u agree on most of da pts...and pt.11 has been agreed upon by a person eternally committed to love(u must have guessed it)...and yes even i agree there r many gud things abt being in a relatnship but if u jus keep these pts in mind when in a reln maybe u r benefitted.

@ sanket...rite said dude we jus keep on thinking abt these things...but tell me how can some1 nbe single by compulsion???

Sanket said...

By compulsion i meant having no choice apart from being single.

interesting post...interesting discussions :D

hello tanmay ..intresting post,must say .
the blog seemed to be making quiet a buzz within the blogosphere,now i know why ...this is my take on ur freakonomics:

pt1-naa its the other way around.u see,u can always ask for a "dating allowance"(try it out)..plus try to foll TTMM principle,u will never be at loss ...at the end of day i dont see u cribbing abt "savings".

pt2.-try to do gud things and be honest -u will never be answerable to anyone ..

pt3.-in a rltnship,wat else r u doing other than discovering urslf?infact u explore a new side of urself altogether .abt intrests-u r just extrapolating them.

pt4.wats an organiser meant for?...in any case be in touch with her best friend ..this may well reduce that "risk" factor

pt5,pt6-hilarious but agree man.

pt7.seen walking with someone -yeah kind of reduces ur future options

pt8.ofcourse u dress for urself and ur own comfort.

pt9.just builds up ur skill in telling the "truth" in the most innovative of d ways ..(although subjected to unusually high risks)

pt10. yawn ...no idea..prefer a walk by the country side anyday .

pt 11.-thats unheard of

pt12.agree..

re -after the break up

pt3.the oder side of the shore always looks greener,so it doesnt make a diff whether u r in a reltnship or nt,does it?

pt5.-u always do that.beauty has got to be appreciated..*smile*

Sanket said...

Looks like our Mr.Anand wants to be in a relationship.That fact that u agree so litte about this post. Thanks Tanmay for the post, atleast it's helping create ruomurs....Lol..

anand said...

@sanket

no idea how ppl "want to" ...rather they "tend to"..

abt rumours ,i think KMB network is suffice enough to do the job.still a gud post by tanmay

@tanmay :

1. dating allowance is killer concept da.am sure they wud be understanding enough.

2.finding some1 for u?we are way too inexperienced or rather shud i say u r way "experienced" enough to find one for urself.*wink*

@gaurav
the shakesphere finds himself out of the league ,surprised must say. for starters i am writing a book -101 ways: "what not to do"..i will lend u a copy ,that shud give u a fair bit of an idea ..

@ miss mainkar
1.logic defines it all ,doesn't it?
2.my book will be up for sale soon..some reading and perhaps u will be up there too .

pratap kaul said...

hmm some debate you started tanmay!

Gaurav DobhaL said...

ya but wonder if a blogpark is the best place to have it..lol chill my friends.. all of you have a valid sense in your own views.. and im hoping im making sense:P..

Pratiksha Mainkar said...

@anand:
if u seriously writing a buk then all the best.no sarcasm here i mean it sincerely.
no offence i mite nt read it tho.got a self written copy of '1 thing you outta do' and that 1 thing cant b xplained by pure logic.no wonder 'logic xpains it all's never really get it!
@gaurav:
luks like d person who thot the post was 'way above my league ' has made d most valid point!
@pratap:
naa...u c its more than just a debate!
*goes back 2 munching popcorn*
p.s:how cum i m d only girl commenting...neway like i said quite insightful!

an ordinary man said...

Thank U to all the ppl who are so diligently fighting for some cause i dont seem to be understanding....and I think i am the only person who is njoying the popcorn...

@anand and pratiksha
...plz pass me ur respective buks ppl lyk me are in need of such buks ... need to get some useful knowledge :D

an ordinary man said...

@ Pratiksha...
Thank u for regularly giving ur valuable inputs on this "Public f****** domain"...and maybe u are the only gal who aint shying away from voicing her opinion abt this controversial post which has become the talk of the town (read SPIT-EXTC)...see i lyk to blow my own trumpet...

and abt the girl bashing 'insensitive'remark....I apologise to all those who felt it was uncalled for.

anand said...

@tanmay
donot worry macha, it shud be up in a couple months time - "white tiger -with polka dots".. not sure if it wud help u with the "gyan quotient"...but shud be fun,worth every penny...

@pratiksha
a bit surprised, just "1"thing ..life is big enough to try and do a lot more..although 1 thing at a time shud be a smart idea .but then thats just moi way .

and yes "logic might explain a few ..but surely teach u a lot more "

ricky said...

sorry guys im late for comments/debate wht evr u call it

DISCLAIMER : ALL THE VIEWS EXPERESSED BELOW ARE JUST WILD IMAGINATIONS WITH NO RESEMBLANCES ONLY MEANT FOR FUN, THE WRITER DOESNOT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILTY WHAT SO EVER

well tanmay regardin ur 1st pt
dont run after money, make urself that capable that the money runs after u ,n the same thing apply in the case of girls :p, not jokin
i hv seen people's pocket overflowing aftr relationships

2nd pt if ur smart enough to deliver a "safaed jhoot" u wont get in trouble whether u ur answerable or not

well dude being in relationship completes u as a human, you experience much more what u have thought of, by the way dont u get bored discovering urself again n again, a relationship is the stepping to the THINGS WE ALWAYS WISHED FOR :p

regardin the anniversaries it agree,apart 4rm few listed in abv comments i wd like to add some few like

1st movie
the 100th day we met!!!
n belive me 1st coconut water

hw can we strain our brain which is already preoccupied with sensex, cricket scores etc

well it has been scientifically proven tht girl needs atleast 3 hrs of chat to digest her dinner otherwise it could result into serious complications, man u cant help, but what i do is just keep it on loud speaker and keep utterin HA.. HA..
HA... at clocked intervals

but see the brighter side u get to knw all fascinating facts around which is necessary 4 a good sleep

hey do you see a change in me ???
am i lookin fat???
didnt you noticed my new tatoo???
you r not like d 1 you used to be
n d worst???
n the most important
u love me???????????????????????

these r the most irritating yorkers u ever come across, u cant hit them you cant leave them but the only way is to defend urself

man wht is the purpose of walkin freely if dont bump to some1 totally unexpected,d idea is make new acquaintances, it cd only b executed if u go as proud single ready to mingle

well dress for urself but whats wrong in experimenting sum new stuff, cumon guys enjoy the life,dont u get bored doin same things every time

regarin craftin innovative lies, givin birth to some new characters and rackin ur brain continously, , u frame new situations, smarter possibilities and the most imp desired outcome by running ur bheja, guys thts why brain is made for
never the less u hv to do it anytime in ur life may it be butterpolishing ur boss or during a placement interview
n even the microsoft guys look 4 it u knw, these qualities are extraordinarly extraordinary which cd even get u placed in the top notch super-dream companies.

guys affection is very special entity which placed above all
u need not to spend for those corner seats, it could felt any place any time,jst imagine it,remember the guy who used do anything just usin his cell phone

man as far as snapping unusal moods or ocassion is concerned u need to b very careful abt it, even a slight mistake can turn the course of river, but understanding a hottie is not as predictable as rocket science, a female brain is a systematically complex structure
u cant 'fix it' u cant 'ignore it'
just try ur luck at rite time n thats it.

as far as personal msgs r concerned u need to pretty careful,

i guy with new gf is like a kid with new toy, dont get me wrong
the kid licks it his new toy n same is with the guy

well i new committed soul who used talk openly in the group suddenly starts going to the window 4 gettin CLEAR MOBILE SIGNAL, there the suspicion arises,an surpise meetin is called, 2 hrs deadline set n the KMB intelligence starts its work which even includes scanin the personal msgs

but man hw can blame the new luveria patient, after all its MP3( mera pehla pehla pyaar which itself a is new topic) even i hv a personal experience
but if you behave normally as u used to be b4,no1 cd sense anythng fishy which cd save 4m lot of other trouble

to be continued....

Unknown said...

well...very much true...by my own experience i can say that it is better to remain single... relationship brings along with it a lot of responsibility...which i think should be after marriage not now...

omkar said...
