Do you really need a GIRLFRIEND..?


“I need a girlfriend!” I said.

“So go, get one.” he replied.

“Come on….if this were so easy, I wouldn’t have called you for help!” I retorted. He smiled and sat on the chair. His face was calm and serene. His sole presence made me feel peaceful and soothing. He was God.

“It’s easy dear but only if you have a reason.”

“Reason….for what?” I asked getting confused.

“Its like give me one valid reason why you need a girlfriend, and I will give you one.” He spoke diligently.

“Sex.” I replied.

He laughed, may be on my answer or may be on me.

“You wanted a reason, I gave you one. Now why are you laughing?” I yelled trying to defend myself.

“Is that the only one?”

“Nopes, there are others too.”

“Write them on a paper in 10 minutes and give it to me.” He said and left for a coffee break.

So here’s what I wrote in my paper:

Why do I need a girlfriend?

1. I’ve got everything else I needed in my life, except a girlfriend.
2. I too want someone to accompany me while I study in ReadingRoom.
3. There’s a lot of time to waste, so better waste it with a girl.
4. Having a girlfriend makes you socially stable, mentally ‘less unstable’. Although I am not sure about the financial one.
5. I don’t like my life moving in a smooth way. I love problems. I love challenges. I need a girl.
6. After all, a girl is the most beautiful creation of God. She’s cute, she’s innoncent, she’s talkitive. She has the power of eliminating all your tensions and problems (and also creating new ones).

“Hmm…” God sighed after looking at my paper. “Is that all?”

“Yes sir.” I replied happily.

“Let me tell you one thing. We never ‘need’ a girlfriend, we always ‘choose’ it.” God said. I hate when he becomes so philosophical.

“I didn’t get you.“

“You shouldn’t “want” a girlfriend or “need” a girlfriend. You should choose to have one when you meet a woman that fits your criteria, won’t play silly games with you, and compliments your life, not impedes it.” Obviously, he was speaking something great and valuable.

“But I can’t wait for that to happen. If I haven’t found a girl in my last 18 years, what’s the guarantee that I’ll find one very soon?” I objected.

“You already have found one.”

“Are you talking about her?”

“Yep.” God said proudly. He knows everything about me, even more than me. “Why don’t you propose her?”

“Because I am afraid.” I replied. God had raised the critical point.

“Of what? Why you’ve to afraid when I am with you!”

“I am afraid of failure.”

“Without failure you’ll never know what’s a victory. Failure is the next step to success.”

“So now what should I do?” I asked. I was confused.

“Listen to your inner voice because its mine.” He said.

God was right. People think that having a girlfriend will make their life more meaningful or lively. Its a wrong notion. We should always keep our doors open until we find a girl who fits our criteria. Then we can choose to have a girlfriend. And when you’ve got such girl, don’t wait, just propose her. Tell her how much you love and care for her. Don’t be afraid of defeat, because whatever be the outcome, God will always be with you.

“God, one last question.” I said.

“Yes dear.“

“God, do you have a girlfriend?”

He got stunned by this question. He thought for a while and then opened his mouth.

“No. But I like someone.”

“Have you proposed her?“

He turned backside as if trying to avoid the question.

“God, I asked have you proposed her?” I inquired again.

“No.”

Yes everything and everyone changes...and as things change around us, we too change to suit the circumstances...to fit in, to survive and to move on. Has anyone tried to live in the past? Past is a very big part of our Present...yet we cannot live in the Past. We just have to buck up and step into the Present, or else our Past may start to consume us. So, are you still clinging on to your past, that past love or that past beauty you possessed or that friend who was once in your life? Once you 'know' something(/someone) it can never be forgotten. But there's a difference between remembering and regretting. Do not regret. If something is no longer with you, it never was meant to be. If someone no longer wants you in their life, so be it. For nothing stays the same in life...not even you. You only have this MOMENT....so enjoy it. For there'll be a day when no more changes will take place in your life...when you won't be able to say or do anything, or even complain...and that'll be the day you breathe your last breath. So before that day comes around, live life to the fullest...get over petty issues...rise above all...be a trendsetter, not a follower...try to be kind, not superior...be happy anyways...be thankful for what you've got...share what you have more than others...put a smile on someone's face...be humble...help one another...be there for your mates...get over silly issues etc etc. Cos these are the changes you CAN make for yourself amidst the uncontrollable changes that Time does to you. Yes there are some changes that's within YOUR control too and that's what they are. Implement some changes in your soul...color the plain corners in...give it life and shine. Cos only you CAN do that CHANGE, and that is the only CHANGE in life that's within YOUR control. The rest don't matter much anyways.
