Poo-Poo the YO-YO

Recently I was forced to witness a song from an upcoming Bollywood movie, Singham 2. It was one of the most disturbing songs that I have had the misfortune to listen to and watch, without a doubt. If you’ve seen the video, you’ll probably agree, unless you have are abnormal in some way or a paedophile or just enjoy looking at people who look like they want to kill someone. Between the children in the video who try their hardest to look mean and angry, and Kareena who ignores everything but herself and puts on her best duckface, one doesn’t know where to look. The song is about how the protagonist, the  very chauvinist Singham, and the people around him, are going to lose it because they feel really angry. What does a 6 year old have to be angry about, I ask you? I think its only the audience that should  be losing their shirts because they’ve been subjected to this torture. Honey Singh’s music is as bad as its ever been, and thankfully quite forgettable as well. I recently also heard a mash-up of Honey Singh’s most popular songs and couldn’t help but think how well the songs blended into each other.. because they were literally one song! 

PS - For those, not familiar with the title reference - here is the very adorable Stephen Fry! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vafxnkWndI&t=1m53s

What lies ahead..

Lets face it! We are sick of the blissfully happy married couples our age rubbing it in our faces. Every time I want to log into Facebook, I take a second to brace myself for all the honeymooning I'm going to be accosted with, or how many of my distant friends are going to proclaim that they are now engaged. What follows almost instantly from looking at these photos (after the nausea wears off) is a sense of emptiness, a sense that we too should be worrying about looking for a life partner. That if we don't find someone soon, all the good ones will be taken and we'll be left with the runt. And the fear that twenty years later, we'll be living in a single bedroom apartment with six cats named after our best friends who all got married and had children.

Let's review again what our blissfully married friends are getting into. Two people decide to spend the rest of their lives together. They decide to put up with each other's quirks, eccentricities, likes and dislikes for the rest of their lives. They decide to have and raise children together.They've decided to dive into a deluge of diapers, drool, and drama.

And lets look to what they're missing out on. They're missing out on travelling alone, exploring friendships, going on vacations by yourself, staying up late with friends just talking, not making your bed when you wake up, having the freedom to leave home whenever you want, and coming back whenever you want! And frankly, I like cats!

So if ignorance is bliss, then yes they shall remain blissfully married.
