What if it works !

The starting are always beautiful, because they have an element of surprise in stored. But by the time you reach the middle of it, you may (or probably may not!) loose interest in the undertaken.
The theory stands true for all segments in life, including relationships also.

While we start liking a person, we are madly, deeply and passionately in love (even if it is not that !) with all that is attached to that individual. 
But in due course of time when the you catch hold of the someone you thought would be 'Hard to Get' person and mystery unfolds, that cupid struck love flies and reality dawns.
Suddenly, everything looks usual, boring and waste of productive time (as if, would have otherwise launched a space mission by now!).

The reason is not lack of time, interest or hope but it is our own ideology in life making things turn bitter.

First being our own apprehensions in life about "what if!" scenario & 'Let's-end-this-before-it-gets-started' technique
Always in a defencive mode, which makes us be afraid to get into a relationship, afraid to get out of it, afraid to dump, afraid to get dumped. Lots of fear resides inside.

Next, We tend to me a lot more materialistic than required. Today, we would rather have an iPhone than a partner
it is all about my phone, my laptop, my clothes, my watch.

We tend to keep grudges and never let it go. Once broken in love, we are too bitter to let it go.
It is completely fine if didn't work out in the first place. Stop being bitter. Give love another chance. You can not change the what is destined but can always make things work till you drop.

We want it to be the best than the rest. The reason is loud and simple - can't deal with flaws and look for perfection.
Our generation is so obsessed with perfection that we can't deal with the smallest of flaws. "He is nice but he is dark", "She is smart but she is short".
We need to realise that we've grown up and the world is much more than just these.

We aspire for things until we have achieved what we want. Once the 'chase' ends, everything ends.
Met someone new --> exchange numbers --> Conversations --> Ask out --> dates --> Dinners --> loose interest --> start avoiding --> its over (no talking terms mostly :P !).
Then after a while, Met someone new --> exchange numbers --> Conversations --> Ask out --> dates --> Dinners --> loose interest --> start avoiding --> its over. And the loop goes on.
We know the drill all too well, don't we?

We are out there - on social media websites, on dating apps, at parties, but all this while, are we really available? We are available, but never really available.
We hide our inhibitions and are scared out of our wits to be alone. We try to be the part of the gang just to prove to ourselves that we are not loners. We exist... Don't we ?

We meet people at a rapid pace and drop them even faster.,
We keep looking for options - for something better. We do not want to settle for less

We dread of being labelled, most of us think why get into the trouble of labelling relationships. 
We are afraid of defining them because then people would know. And we'd not be able  to end this 'thing' as easily as we would have done otherwise. For God sake, no one has time to spend it on you completely, they have there own nut and screws to fix .. Isn't it?

Our mentality about the concept of love is screwed. (Let's face it !)
Most of us haven't been in love and don't even understand what it is. For us, it's a game that we think we know too well. But that is not the case, you have to live the feeling to get the stats right :)

We have bound ourselves so tight against the shackles of social bindings that search of the right time does not let us find some ever!

So give some space to tinder, go out, meet people rather than adding them on Facebook, have a real conversation instead of sharing emotes, and don't be afraid to give love a chance! It will be worth it.

Awwww ...

One fine morning, I was still to open my eyes, but already on Facebook... thanks to the smart phone that makes me smarter by the day! <-- Pun intended :) >

Suddenly came across a trending notification on the networking site that instantly grabbed my attention.
It was one of my friend wishing her husband on his birthday.
So it was a picture of both of them together and she had tagged him to let the world know that she loved him real much. And the rest was done by the selflessly kind and true friends adding to the likes and comments in the follow.
I mean what???? Don’t they live together to wish each other (--‘in their face’)?????
What is it that these couple are trying to do by putting their love and affection for all to see, risking that they might be getting a nasty backlash from others?

But anyhow, it has lately been a trending custom on the social networking site (SNS), wherein people wish their family on internet. The reason is not sentimental but social display of the bond that is shared. (-- oh yeah!)

There were times when, Personal Expressions were limited to written letters, calls or in person conversations.
But the era has changed now, you want to get some personal details about a person? 
SNS are the best source of information (-- sometimes reliable too). 
Go peek into his id, you’ll get all the information right from his birthday to the places recently visited, from his friends to his immediate family, from the relationship status to evolutionary profile pictures. And then you are ready to attack. (not literally though!)

Almost 3 years back, getting 30 likes on a profile photo was an achievement, but today it has no limits. Interestingly, a friend recently struck 960 likes in 3 hours on a display picture of hers. Gosh!!

Below are some tricks to improve your visibility on SNS (tested and proven: P)

1.      Change a display picture, and then randomly tag people so that you appear is as many walls as possible to get a compliment (-- boys cannot be sure of that also ^_^).
2.      Send friend request to all those you know (-- even if it is just their name)
3.      Poke random crowd so that they visit your profile. (--who knows, you might get lucky!)
4.      Shine in your peer group by managing maximum number of likes on the posts and pictures shared. Being a highest grossers makes you star. (--always works!)
5.      Message people complimenting them. Even if they don’t reply, you have at least tried.  (--just try to make a little sense. If possible!)
6.      Share the entire album of your latest vacation, to make people realize how outgoing and happening you are. (--entire means all, no editing, no selection, including crap :S)
7.      Update your status timely, so that the world knows what exactly you feel (--that is all that they are living on earth for! Really!)
8.      Comment on all the pictures you see. No relevance required!

Disclaimer - The above will definitely prove worth some popularity, but don’t rely on experiences alone. Go for some inventions too.

Recommendation - Try getting a life, if possible….
