At What Age Should You Marry?

Marriage a topic, everyone has to face in life and if you are an Indian, then this topic will be of interest to everyone, even unrelated to you. In your mid-twenties to late twenties, youโ€™ll face this irritating and most exasperating topic and you just cannot get rid of it. Although many of us has learned to avoid it by saying they need to study, get a job first, get a promotion maybe, have respectable salary or just need more time.

Well, I can totally relate to this as I am 26yrs old and I am not ready to marry. My parents worry about this but I am able to defer the topic of discussion with my charisma and knowledge. While my reason of not settling is not incorrect but itโ€™s not entirely true. I want to study further but I also want to find myself, I want to understand myself or simply I want to fall head over heels in love with MYSELF.

Now, that is not an easy topic to explain, because being an Indian, loving yourself was never the part of the course but making sure that everyone else is happy, definitely was.[Was-I hope you have paid attention to the participle, because I work hard to not repeat the things, I use to do in the past.]

Now, back to the topic at hand, right time to marry-Is there even a right time? Studies have found that 26-28yrs is the best age to get settled. Now, donโ€™t go around thinking that you only have 3yrs to get settled. You see, the problem with studies is that they share the facts, not the experiments they did to reach that fact. The time period mentioned is a general view point, that in general, a person gets settled by the age of 26, understand themselves, knows what they want in life and are clear of their purpose to move on to the next phase of life which is marriage. But, that is a general case, not applicable to everyone. So, that means you might need more time to know what you want from life or maybe less. The people getting married at the age of 22 are not stupid, they arenโ€™t making some really big mistakes, they know they are ready, their purpose is in aligned with their decision to get marriedโ€ฆso that is completely okay. Some, still single at the age of 31 are fineโ€ฆbecause they are still in pursuit of what they want from life and if that will align with their marriage in future, they will marry.

Now the trouble comes around in the form of conventional thinkers or people who like to just follow the society rules which are fixed and cannot be changed (this is what they think) i.e. everyone getting married at the age of 25, you should marry too types or simply the uninformed ones, who base their opinions on the frequency of the actions around them. The people who think that life is a โ€œOne size fits allโ€ case, that doing anything different, you shall face the havoc of their unscrupulous opinions.

Sad, isnโ€™t? How as humans we want to be a part of society, a society that follows a standard procedure and anything or anyone breaking that rule is liable to get disbarred.ย ย 

Well, in the gist of my topic, I would like to say that there is no right time for marriage, you can marry today or tomorrow or never, that is up to you and no-one should tell you otherwise.

Things are changing. Things have changed. Things will change in the future. Be ready to embrace the future.

My Rendezvous With Life

My Rendezvous With Life

The treacherous waters of existence hail in their stride,As the beauty of sailing against the winds uproars in its ride.Benevolence in its yonder stirs the mirth of the true,Navigating the turbulent waves, death and I had a rendezvous.

I sought the beauty of the light that was unseen,In the depths of my muse, I found my world within.Life in its flair, trudged me into the emblems of the dark,The dreams that perspired in the seed embraced their death,As it was time for a new quest to embark.

Quaint whispers that echoed in their gallant stance,The jeers that surmounted the uncertainty galloped in their dance.Silencing the wind, bestriding the fall,I plunged into the entirety of my endeavours that call

For I chose to befriend the walk that marked the

Love is the purest emotion one feels towards themselves and another individual. While the expression of love can vary in its entirety from one person to another, the care we hold for the ones we love shares an undeniable impact on how we forge our perceptions of interpersonal relationships. The way we communicate our feelings to someone also says a lot about how we are wired, the method of conveying our affection to our beloved ones is called a love language. You may express affection to the one you love regularly, but do you take the time to ensure that you are communicating it in the way that the other person prefers? Even love can become lost in translation when two individuals speak different love languages.

The Beauty Of Gratitude In A World Full Of Cynicism

Ever acquainted with the phrase that the world that you exist in, the life that you embody dwells in the perception of the stance you hold for yourself. The beauty and the tragedy of life is that it is as beautiful as the optimistic lens of perception and as ugly as the pessimistic view of your being.

The strive of our endeavours and the constant effort to achieve the next massive milestone often drive us to the edges of insanity, to be in the consistent light of greatness we lose sight of the great strings of joy that bind our existence together. To be the best we have ever been we must be mindful of the best we are. Coinciding in the traps of negativity and yet claiming to be the best version of yourself is a blinding truth that lies to only

I Breathe In The Sauntering Air That Collapses My Being

I Breathe In The Sauntering Air That Collapses My Being

I breathe in the sauntering air that collapses my being,I breathe through the crevices of my existence unseen.Uncertainty in its yonder strikes in bolt on the scars that nobody sees,Redemption that loves, redemption that is free, find me in the depths of my poetry.

Tales of lust ridden in smeared touches that belie,Entreated with envy, the visions of victory lie.To be or not to be in a question that yet lies,For I yearn for a world where fond passion never dies.

Enclasped in the cage of the deemed duty,Bounded in her vows, she forgot she was a thing of beauty.In a realm we live, where amour in its truth fails to stand tall,She, tired of her existence, submerges herself into the beauty that her dreams enthrall.

Chaos in its uproar hails in its darkness
