Before we answer our question, let's understand why marriage exists in the first place? Why people need marriages or a partner in their lives? When you were a child, your parents took care of you, they had your back, the only thing you cared about was playing. You grow a bit and got friends and school to support you. In college you made even better friends, more like brothers, at least I did. A common thing in all these stages of life, a support system, be it your friends or family. But, once you join the workforce, the support system is gone. You are most likely away from your family and friends, and this is where marriage or a need for a partner comes in. There are only a few kinds of people who can survive without a partner in their lives if they wish for it. For instance, monks have trained their body and mind to be independent of any emotional or physical need from another person, great teachers like APJ Abdul Kalam have their research and students to fill the need of a partne...

In my blog  Real cost of getting into a good college , I discussed how people like me missed out on our love stories because of focusing more on studying rather than looking to have a good time.

On the other hand, I moved to a new state to explore life and live on my own. Their college was so boring that mos...

'Entire life is a misconception and all of us should thrive to remove as many as possible' ~ Unkown Career:  The most important thing for almost every one of us, right? Yes, it is important but there is a thin line between a career in life and career as life. You go and ask people, who are they? Often they reply something like Alex, Manager at XYZ corporation. Some people have fully imbibed their office personality into their personal lives. Everyone during college time was fighting to get the highest salary possible. All those who ended with a hefty package, still yearn for more. It's a vicious circle and almost none could escape it. Let me demonstrate what I meant to say by an example, you earn 50k and your expenditure is 30k, rest goes into saving. After a raise, your salary reaches 70k and your expenditure becomes 45k, again, rest goes into savings. Instead of enjoyment brought by extra money people savors the idea of having more money in their account. You could...
