Dear God
हमने मुहब्बत के नशे में उसे 'खुदा' बना
डाला
होश तो तब आया जब उसने कहा कि खुदा किसी एक का नहीं होता
-
मिर्ज़ा ग़ालिब
Possessive
– is that how you define me? All I wanted was an exclusive relationship. God,
it is amazing how men compartmentalize everything. One for having fun, one for
sharing daily troubles, one for serious philosophical discussions about life, one
for having light conversations and one permanent fixture aka wife.
Why
do You do that? Oh wait, you started it all. 60,000 wives, endless concubines
and one girlfriend. Explains a lot!
People
hide behind the word ‘Just friends’ a lot. Your commitment phobic crowd can
stretch a relationship for years. Drop the commitment bomb and they will say; ‘We
are just friends. You were delusional to think or expect more.’
They
can have a relationship, even children without giving them their name. They
shamelessly abandon them and form new bonds. How come they don’t feel guilty? A
lot of crimes against women are committed to cover clandestine relationships.
The
legendary lovers of the past tell a different story. But that is what it is –
just a story. No man has ever set eyes on only one woman. They tend to go
astray. Women wait, shed tears and keep hoping that their hard work will pay
off in the end. Alas, does not often happen.
On
top of that, they have to fend off the unwanted attention of other men while
you are away. Even when in a relationship, they ask for a lot of compromises.
When they leave us, they expect us to wait. If meanwhile someone else catches
our interest, we are labeled as fiddle and untrustworthy. So many stories are
built around women and their inability to keep your trust. When ideally they
should mention all the soliciting we endure in our daily lives.
I
hope and pray for a better future God. A future where loyalty and exclusivity
take the driving seat… and commitment accompanies them on the journey of love.
