It just dawned on me today that I am going to be 28 soon, and ten years ago still seems like yesterday. I remember getting my driver’s license when I was 18, and as the old saying goes, I thought that the world was my oyster. Well, it turned out to be everything else except that. Being a misfit never helps either.

I was single when I was 18, and ever so single now. But let me tell you something: I am really happy about this. 10 years earlier, I had no idea where I was headed to. Now, I still don’t know, but I at least got the ball rolling. Being born and raised in India, I know for a a fact that if I still lived there, I would at least have 10 different people asking me this question every single day.

“So, why aren’t you married yet?”

Well, I was 26, I had enough, and that’s when I decided to take a one-way ticket to Canada. Never looked back, and I should say I’ve never been happier. At least, people here don’t ask me when I am getting married, they ask me if I am by myself. Trust me, those are two completely different perspectives.

I read this article a couple of days back. When I saw the title, I thought it was some cliché romantic article, but it turned out to be otherwise. It’s a great thing to fall in love with someone you like and even get married before you are…
