Freedom is Delusional

 

Freedom is delusional.

Yes, we live in a free country. But, whether we're really free or not, is pretty debatable.

One can barely pass a dinner invite, without being forced to eat what's on the Menu! 

"Oh! You don't like Shrimp?! Oh! You don't even eat enough greens??" As if, the world's going to come crashing down if someone doesn't like Shrimps, or Hilsa! These are expensive meats. So, the ones who don't like them, are perceived as snobs! Ones who don't eat enough greens are perceived to be leading unhealthy lives, or too pampered by their parents. 

But on the other hand, you tell them that you're allergic to a Shrimp, then they're fine by it. They just cannot tolerate the fact that you choose your food preference as per your own free will. You have to be either forced by them, or by some health problem like an allergy!

If you speak too much out of your own free will, then you talk to much. If you are an introvert, who CANNOT talk so much, you're a freak in nature and definitely arrogant! If you have opinions, you're a bitch! If you don't have opinions, you're stupid.

If you like the night, over the day time, there's something terribly wrong with you! But if you're working for an international organisation that mandates you to work late in the night, then you're very successful!

Your choice of songs defines your character and status! It cannot just be based on your current mood. Because that's acting out of your own free will!

What everybody is doing, is normal. And if you're not doing the same thing then you are an abomination.

Seriously?

Who, even, defined what normal is?! Is it even binded by law?

Our ancestors, the freedom fighters died for nothing?

Living in live-in in India!

Living in, isn’t about having sex day in and day out. But that’s how it’s perceived in India!

It is like a live compatibility test.

It is about finding out how weirdly your partner snores. Or about being traumatised by their level of OCD, yet choosing to stick to them. It is about throwing things at each other during a fight.

It’s about spending the whole night clearing out misunderstandings and going to office the next morning.

It's about getting to know about each other’s fears and favourites. 

About borrowing each other's clothes and never returning.

At times you would fight over who's not cooking that night. And then there would be times when the fight be about, who is cooking that night! 
You would also get to know whether they are a Pizza-person or a Biryani-person. And whether your food choices match or not!

At times you would feel everything is so perfect. And at times you two would struggle to stick around.

You would be getting to know their deepest darkest secrets, but you would also get to know about their sweetest memories.

You would get to see for yourself, how they behave with their friends & family. You would get to see how they behave with their peers at work. 

Everything would be out there, naturally. As it is. No hiding. No masks. No filter.

It is a process through which you learn to work it out even though your opinions are poles apart.

It’s about how you learn to be selfless when it comes to taking care of each other’s healths, and selfish when it comes to being drunk on each other’s happiness.

It is about everything in between, till you either make it or break it!

It is about being absolutely confirmed that you want to spend the rest of your lives together, before you spend on a 500-people dinner, out of whom 480 are fake!

If living in would have been seen with a tad bit of seriousness and a tad less of as a taboo, we could have saved a hell lot of divorces. And more importantly, a lot less of unhappy couples continuing in unhappy & unhealthy marriages.
