Where’s the love?

Full moon night, breezy atmosphere, that beachside restaurant, a romantic background score, couple dance, candlelight dinner, cozying up, a real sweet kiss…etc., Didn’t you get the zest of a complete romantic date? Yeah..anyone would, as it sounds but didn’t you find something missing? Well, it did irk me as I questioned myself, where is the love?

Such is the scenario of relationships today. Driven by lust, the need of time, obsession, and mutual benefit, the real essence that binds two people together is actually lost somewhere in the so called love and relationships today. As you surf through our blog, you will not only believe that the definition of love has changed today but will surely end up asking yourself, where is the love?

It makes you look ‘Cool’

“I don’t love her, nor do we have any plans to settle down, but it adds to my popularity man,” said a friend of mine. Gone are those days, when wearing those sexy clothes, riding those hot bikes and driving those expensive cars made you look cool. I mean they do matter, but being in a relationship today is also said to add to your coolness quotient. It’s more like a cool status tag people carry around.

Intimacy and Sex

This is one of the key reasons that form the foundation of many relationships today. While in earlier times intimacy and affairs based on lust was a thing of either the elite class or the ones from villages. But, today the urban youth is no way behind in getting intimate and satisfying their sexual desires for which a relationship has become the ultimate doorway. But, the negative part is, as the intimacy and mutual desire benefit of such relationships is over, these relations also fade faster than they began. Yet, who cares as the majority of the young population just cares for intimacy and sex only. And the ones who really believe in love are the alien people existing on this planet.

Mutual need

Now intimacy and sex is not only that one thing that keeps two people together today as there are other things that matter too. Wait; don’t get mistaken for love but the idea of the mutual benefit of being together. See you stay away from home, parents; you need a shoulder, a companion, someone to share in your financial needs. You do have friends and pocket money also but still, you need that one person to sum-up your hectic stressful life.

Dating is in fashion

Well, for our generation, fashion changes with seasons but dating season is any time on. It is actually a new fashion in town and everyone is obsessed with it. So, next time if you hear a ten-year-old going out on a date with his girlfriend, don’t be shocked as dating is in fashion today though love is outdated.

Being single is a crime

Now, one of my friends has been single for years. Isn’t it an awesome thing for a guy to adore? But, actually speaking in today’s tine it is kind of the opposite. In current times, being single for a long time is actually a sign of worry not for others but the person concerned too. This is because you are judged for either not getting a boyfriend or a girlfriend, incapable, or not really normal and this is the ideology is of the educated class.

Dating apps

There was a time when our great grandparents didn’t even know what a shaadi.com was, our parents would still prefer our family matchmaker to it. But, hail the technology for going aboard and making some apps called dating apps. Wait, these are not the ones that give you advice on how to date but the once that actually help you to chat and meet up that guy or girl you want to hook up with. And we still thought to chat existed only on Facebook. With such handy options as Tinder, Matchify, Badoo etc. available, don’t you think the real idea of a relationship is lost as you have so many options to date and no guarantee of trust and loyalty, while love has no place here?

It is a part of growing up

As kids, we did all that mischiefs and it was ok we were forgiven for being kids. Now, similarly, being in a relationship, I mean love and dating, is a part of your teen and early twenties. As in if you don’t date, how your gonna know what a relationship is, you grow as you explore. And this has been taken dam seriously by our youth as it is a platform for them to explore the opposite sex until at some older age they actually end up knowing what love is.

When Rahul couldn’t resist saying, “Main Aisa Kyu Hoon"!

When the son of our very own late Prime Minister, Rajeev Gandhi was introduced to the world, we thought, we got a new successor to the Gandhi dynasty and of course for Congress. But, for all who thought that Rahul Gandhi was the future of Indian politics, we had nothing but get disappointed because instead of a leader we got mommy Soniya’s idiot and useless son ‘Pappu’. Well, and if you wanna check some adventurous side and bravery of this Gandhi kin, then you must check out the listicle and ROFL.

1. Sleeping or Meditation?

Well, it is easy to doze anywhere, but it takes courage for someone to take a nap in a Parliament session and that too when you are being aired on a national television. And Rahul being a smart ass, though he was actually sleeping, he told us that he was doing meditation and that bafoon thought we believed him.

2. Jai Hanuman

When Hanuman donned a Gada, we admired our superhero but when our very own Pappu decided to follow in his shoes, he looked more like a gadha! I hope you’ve understood what we meant.

3. Mamma’s Boy!

The world is busy dating and some are on the verge of getting married. But, who will tell Rahul that he should also get hitched? And when momma Soniya thought that her dear son was chatting with a girl, that idiot was actually playing Candy crush.

4. Bhai ka fan

Jab Salman said, “Ek baar jo maine commitment kit oh main apne aap ki bhi nahi sunta,” tab his statement sounded like Dabanng, But, when Rahul Gandhi voiced his commitment, we couldn’t control our laughter as he still hasn’t stood by any!

5. Gosh! He also thinks!

It was indeed a shock for us when we found that Rahul has brains and he also uses them to think. And the most amazing part was that NASA came down to India as they wanted to research on this alien discovery.

6. Mr. Bean?

Remember getting annoyed by Mr.Bean. Dude that man always got on my nerves, yet we loved him. But, what you wanna say of our Indian version of Mr.Bean? I think Mr. Bean was also not that dumb.

7. Bhangara was introduced by him

We all are acquainted with Rahul’s awesomeness, but we just discovered that Rahul also knows to dance and that too Bhangra. But, when we decided to make him groove to this desi dance, Yo Yo Honey Singh and Baadshah got offended. Also, Daler Mehndi and Mika were all set to lodge a complaint against Rahul because they thought even Santa Banta knew what Bhangra is!!!

8. Ek Chutki Sindoor

When Deepika Padukone had that ‘EK Chutki Sindoor’ moment, she made everyone fall in love with her. But, imagine Rahulji enacting Deepy?? God... It looked like he was expecting to be cast in Om Shanti Om 2??? Farah… We hope you’ve seen it…

9. He is popular among women!

That day when I heard my maid praising Rahul Gandhi, I thought at least those kaamwalis are a huge fan of pappu bichaara. But, when we came across this picture of his, it was more of Rahul being the best sorority sister Gauri’s ever had..

10. And they say, we copied in exams

Years back in school, when teacher used to scold us for peeping into our neighbors answer paper, we were like, ‘Mam, we aren’t copying!’ Well, all high school teachers must check out this picture of Rahul Gandhi who even copies his speech from his phone!!!
