Being single: Empowered? ;)

The chic let writer for Harper Collins Advaita Kala, author of ‘Almost Single’ (need to mention about mutual admiration via our messages never cease!) makes a pertinent point that how being single is sense of empowerment. we have good education, we do justice to it but focusing on our carriers, how we beset the traditional ideas that ‘B.A ke baaad Biyahh!” (getting married after graduation). This single woman is ready to take on challenges, overcome all tides and devote herself to professional lives. It is a guide as to how our societal values are changing and those conservatives in society need not use their interfering yardstick to judge a single woman as mark of taboo.

On a similar note, let us add that how being single can be empowering. Nobody disputes the need to have strong professional caliber, but what about the immense choices & space & latitude you get by being single. Go discover world, experience with new men/women, each new relation has something new to teach without any bondage. Your life comes in full circle as you care for yourself and let yourself be cared by others. It is not infidelity but that you love yourself & want to spread this love. You deserve every bit of pampering. Perhaps, these bondages of being single will be much more cherished. We live in new times where you are not an out-cast if you are single. Let us amend Advaita here, as it applies equally to men & women.
