“When our parents got married and migrated to America, marriage was a necessity – now it is choice – a choice to live happily – or unhappily – in holy matrimony.
My parents migrated to America so that I would have a better chance at life – to make my own choices and to discover a life and personality that is my own.
I mean, personally, why would I want to go back to tradition, when I am so used to living on my own terms? For me, I have just seen too much to go back and live a life where I haven’t seen enough.”

“These days, more and more woman are spending more time bonding with themselves than with anyone else. Everyone is moving at a fast pace and no one knows where they are going or how they will end up.

You have to stroke your own ego and you have to take care of yourself. No one is going to work hard for you, no one is going to pay your bills and no one can completely love you the way you love yourself.” GUEST BLOG

“Salman was my first boyfriend. I had a huge crush on him as a teenager. The crush led me to leave Florida and move to India and join films just so I could find him and get married to him.

“I am dedicating this blog to the lovely Marilyn Monroe. Her birthday was on June 1st 1926. She would have been 85 years old. Marilyn Monroe was a beauty and cultural icon. Her amazing beauty and tumultuous life has left people fascinated and in awe of her.
Marilyn was born into a traumatic situation that haunted her at every stage of her life. She was misunderstood and exploited as an adult. However she kept going and fighting her battles independently. Today, she represents single women everywhere because of her constant search for true love and the perfect career.
All she ever wanted was everything. Isn’t that what we all want?” – Sex and the Single Desi

“An important asset to have in any relationship, whether it is with your friend, boyfriend, lover, marriage partner, parents or siblings, is effective communication skills. I really feel that as a generation we lack respect for each other. I am not sure how you feel about this but it seems that when the tough get going, the going gets rough.

More and more people are checking out of their relationships because they aren’t able to communicate what they want or how they are feeling. They aren’t feeling as if the other person is listening to them and hearing what they have to say.”

Sure, life doesn’t go as planned, but at least you tried and you did what you wanted to do. We have no control over who we meet or who drags us to a dark place but we will always survive because we are survivors. We are our biggest supporters and our worst enemies tied up in one pretty package.”

“When it comes to relationships and dating, I have seen and heard it all. Desi men and desi women relate differently in the dating world and it is high time someone analyzed and read between the lines instead of taking everything at face value.
Desi men mainly use their left side of the brain, which is focused and to the point, which is why they are so direct. Here are some dating scenarios that could come across as confusing if you aren’t sure how to read correctly…”

Why did I marry this person, when God knew that our marriage wouldn’t last more than two years?
Why did I hook up with this guy and get dumped afterward when God knew it would happen, what was the point?
Why did my best friend in the whole world steal my boyfriend, why did God introduce her to me and why did we click so well?
Why did my loser ex-husband take my children and money, when all I did was give him my love and support?
Why did I study so hard for a career that landed me unemployed and/or unhappy?
