Recently I have been reading a lot about single hood. So, was just pondering what the fuss is all about? Is being single such a big deal? Alternatively, we can say it's best selling gossip for media. Whatever are the reasons for the articles but its actually working positively for present day youth? Well the answer is yes it is. At least the people who were running from the fact they are single have started accepting it as its no more a weirdo thing in eyes of millennium Indian. Earlier what was a culture shock for India is now being accepted (if not appreciated) as an individual decision and right to spend life in his/her style.

Besides I personally have an opinion that a person's single hood is his or her own decision and should be respected. In addition, it should not be a reason for any embarrassment. If people can't, appreciate it they should not debate over it. I remember a lady who is some distant relative and happens to be my teacher also who never got married despite the several efforts from family and then one fine day she just said that she plans to be single for the rest of her life. And it's a story which is now being forgotten or put at the back of mind as it's a fact and people are living with it and she is indeed happy with it. But I remember that the moment any girl rejects a guy or counts some traits for her would be, the very moment she is told an example of the above mentioned lady as she also had several reasons for choice and see she is still single and going to be the same for the rest of her life. Isn't that's sad…and I feel bad to say that it happens only in India. Ours is a nation where people talk about women empowerment and women worship in the form of mom, sister, daughter etc and once the women takes a decision to stay alone and lead her life in her own way she is said to set a bad example for the generation and the culture. God the society is still sick.

Its not only the fault of past generations, its also a fault of youth. I remember my fellow students during my master's degree making fun of the faculty who happened to be single. I don't deny that they were furious at times but that's nothing to be related to their being single. Even when there was nothing to be discussed about those faculty members as in no academic incident that time also students use to talk about them using different names, actually taunting about them being single. Guys will even tend to ignore their feedback and opinions on the very note that they are single and hence frustrated and hence loose temper at times. This was even said to be a reason if they remind the students about the code of conduct in the college. Now this is the mentality of present day youth of India who is proud when addressed the future manager and the running force behind the boom in India economy.
