What happens when you 30 and single?

Well, i get asked this question hazaar times, everytime, anytime since i turned 30 last to last month...how life changes, do you feel different? etc etc etc.

I would say - things happen when you turn 30...good, bad, ugly things happen but interesting things happen...like

you resume your passion for travel (awesome)

your friends sponsor your trip to ananda (truly awesome)

suddenly an international magazine wants to feature you for -

"Life of a single woman in 30s in New Delhi, India" (very very interesting)
(My 20 something friends would say - why no-one does a feature on single woman in her 20s - because darling you are supposed to Be Single in your 20s)

A famous celebrity photographer does a photo-feature on a single woman in her 30s and he shoots you...(ummm thats really flattering)

Suddenly people want you to model (not bad, interesting)
(now who starts to model in 30s but i guess world is really changing)

you get told that you are a good advertisement for a single woman (nice)

your parents start to reconcile to the fact that you will marry when you will...so why bother (extremely good)

you buy two houses (good)

your parents pay the down payment (wow)

and you pay monthly installments (not so good)

beginner's luck gets over (am not complaining)

everyday you deal with one crisis or the other such as car accident, your own accident, since you live in vasant kunj - water crisis, client crisis, lock crisis(am still not complaining)

guess wat - you stop trying to prove anything to anyone(most wonderful)

And biggest of all - You Live Life On Your Own Terms!
