Hi, my people,
Shaadi season is almost here! My calendar towards the end of the year is already filled with weddings, haldi invites, and sangeet dance practice plans. And yet, even with all this love in the air, there\u2019s a whole bunch of youngsters who have a very<\/em> different take on marriage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was a time when marriage was the ultimate adult milestone, you studied, got a job, got married, had kids, in that exact order. But now? The timeline has blurred, twisted, and in some cases, completely disappeared. Today\u2019s bachelors and bachelorettes are rewriting the rules of love, commitment, and partnership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was talking to my mother-in-law the other day, yes, we get into these deep conversations sometimes about how much times have changed. The way young adults think about relationships now is completely different. And it\u2019s one of those things where you really can\u2019t decide who\u2019s wrong or right.
But having said that, I truly feel everyone should experience companionship at least once because when it\u2019s with the right one, it\u2019s beautiful<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The conversation got me wondering, why<\/em> are so many young people running away from marriage? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Probably some of them grew up watching their parents stuck in unhappy relationships, fighting all the time, leaving scars that aren’t visible but did permanant damage… They saw relatives who stayed \u201cfor the kids\u201d or because of family pressure. For them, marriage became a symbol of compromise, not comfort. Some went through bad heartbreaks and lost faith in love altogether.
And then there are those who simply don\u2019t see the need<\/em> for a partner because they\u2019ve realized that \u201csettling down\u201d isn\u2019t the ultimate goal anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They would rather be single than settle and that\u2019s not fear, that\u2019s clarity.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But also i feel technology has made meeting<\/em> people easier and staying<\/em> committed harder.
Swipe culture means constant options, and constant options mean constant doubt. When everything feels temporary jobs, trends, even filters permanence can feel\u2026 unnatural.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marriage, for a lot of Gen Z, feels like a potential loss of freedom. They\u2019ve seen how quickly personal dreams can take a backseat in traditional setups. For few, choosing not to marry isn\u2019t rebellion it\u2019s liberation.<\/em> For those, who dont have any underlying issue attached with marraige or commitment, who truly enjoy thier own company, i think its fine, but for those who are afraid, i really hope they meet someone who will help them take that leap of faith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because I can\u2019t help but feel they\u2019re missing out on something which is amazing.Being in love is magic, period. In all the practicality of modern love, we\u2019ve lost the innocence of those old-school moments that \u201cdupatta fas gaya uski watch mein\u201d<\/em> kind of magic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Suddenly, being in love is considered cheesy, even borderline cringe. But come on we all still feel a little something<\/em> when we watch DDLJ<\/em>. When Simran runs and Raj holds out his hand…. kuch kuch hota hi hai yaar. tum kab samjhoge :p.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gen Z isn\u2019t wrong they\u2019re thoughtful, aware, and independent. They want love that\u2019s equal and real, not forced and traditional. But maybe, just maybe, in protecting themselves from heartbreak and difficult emotions, they\u2019re missing the soft side of love, the messy, magical, filmy<\/em> kind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because at the end of the day, we all crave the same thing to be seen, understood,loved and to be able to laugh out loud with someone, to feel special. Whether that comes with a ring or without one\u2026 that\u2019s up to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gen Z might not want the \u201c7 pheras\u201d or the pressure that comes with them, but deep down, everyone still craves connection. Maybe it\u2019ll look different, two people building a life together without a label, or maybe even choosing to walk alone for a while.
Because at the end of the day, whether you say \u201cI do\u201d<\/em> or \u201cI don\u2019t,\u201d<\/em> we\u2019re all just searching for that one person who makes life feel a little less ordinary. So while Gen Z is out there dodging mandaps and saying \u201ccommitment issues,\u201d I\u2019ll be over here humming old Bollywood songs, clutching my heart, and rooting for love, in whatever form it chooses to exist.
Because trends will come and go, but the butterflies-in-your-stomach kind of love? That never goes out of style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

pyar hua, iqrar hua…pyar se phir kyu darta hai dil..Kehta hai dil rasta mushkil maalum nahi hai kaha manzil…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
