Singlehood makes me Stronger!





Hi, I am Noopur, 29, Single. Not alone.

Well, with no offence to all the married people, singlehood sometimes feels like a blessing in disguise to me. I am sure you guys lead a very wonderful, happy & complete life, and I wish you much more happiness in life; but mine is also no less than a beautiful story.

Somebody loving you must be a great feeling.

A lot of times I have been asked - 'Are you single?' with so much pity. Let me tell you people, I am SINGLE - Not ALONE. 

I am blessed with a loving family, doting parents, encouraging friends and a fulfilling job. Yes! The quote that best describes me is;

'I am perfect in my imperfections, happy in my pains, strong in my weaknesses and beautiful in my own ways. I am who I meant to be. I am my past, my present and who I want to be. I am not anyone, I am all three. I am work in progress, a destiny. I am who I choose to be.'

I have my times of feeling bored, low, unwanted and not valued. That can happen to anyone. Right? Why to associate it with being single? In fact, being single gives me more power in such situations  because I am aware that I have to get back on my own and take things on my stride. I own my happiness, my sorrows. 

Over time, I stared looking at singlehood as an opportunity to explore my innermost being, nurture it and love it.  I don't say that being single is like having a bed of roses in paradise. I would sound cynic. My intent is not to tell you that you should never spend your life with someone. Someone once told me 'We all need someone to share our lives with'. Yes, we do. But we can't stop our lives for it. 

I want my life to be so beautiful that when I find someone, it is worth sharing with him. 

I get time to retrospect, recognise my flaws. 
I love to contribute to enrichment of lives around me.  
I pursue my passions. I spend time with my parents and family. 
The most blessed is spending innocence-filled time with my niece. She teaches me how to live a happy life. 
I deal with my emotional exhaustion with my conscious. 

There are emotionally hard times too when a voice inside me says 'Damn! Will I be able to handle it?' I then pat my back and say 'Challenge Accepted'.

I grow stronger with each passing day.

Cheers to Singlehood!

 Noopur :)

कीरत, भुआ और खिड़की

सोफे से अचानक उतरकर, उसने अपनी कोमल उंगलियों से मेरा हाथ थामा और ले चला मुझे खिड़की के सामने रखी बेंच की ओर।अब समय हो चला था हमारा खिड़की की सलाखों के बाहर बसी दुनिया की सैर करने का। थोड़ी खुद की कोशिश और थोड़ी मेरी मदद से, कीरत बेंच पर चढ़ने का काम पूरा कर चुका था। उसके चेहरे की खुशी देखते हीबनती है। हाँलाकि यह हमारा लगभग रोज़ का नियम है, परंतु कीरत का उत्साह हर दिन मानो बढ़ता ही जाता है। उसकी चंचल ऑंखें सबसे पहले खोजती हैं, आकाश में उड़ते पंछियों को... अगर पंछियों का झुंड दिख जाए, तो आकाश में पंछी उड़तेहैं और घर की बेंच पर कीरत चहकता है। इस बीच अगर उसे सड़क पर चलते कुत्ते दिख जाऐं, तो भरसक कोशिश करेगा उन्हें अपने पास बुलाने की। तालियाँ बजाकर अपना उत्साह ज़ाहिर करेगा। उस नन्हें मन की ख़ासियत यह है कि उसे सड़क से गुज़रती साइकिल भी उतनी ही पसंद है, जितनी एक कार।वो सभी को 'बाय' कहता है...उम्मीद में की उसे जवाब मिलेगा। कभी-कभी जब उसे जवाब नहीं मिलता, तब मेरी ओर देखकर अपनी निराशा व्यक्तकरता है। पर ये निराशा बस पल भर की ह

Hey, Dusht Raavan! Seetaji ko Sorry bolo

Bad days happen to best of us.  One day it happened to me and I was thinking about the goodness of carefree days of my childhood while going back to home from work. I was tired. I didn't want to talk to anyone.  'Knock Knock' I banged the door.  As soon as the door opened, I heared a cute voice calling me 'Hey, Dusht Raavan! Aaj aap jaldi kyun nahi aye?' That's my niece. Kashwi. I call her Kashu.  Listening to her, I got into my role and informed her "Ramji, office me kaam tha'. 'Dusht Raavan' She tells me again as her problem was bigger than mine. Why didn't I come home on time when she had to go for swimming classes?  For about an hour or so, she showed how upset she was with me with all her actions like 'I want to play with dadi', Mumma hi khana khilayegi', 'You go back to Bhopal', 'Papa is my favourite'. I don't know if anyone would it believe or not, but I was jea
