Are You A QuirkyAlone?

Thanks to one of our Ryze network members, Jhumur, who appeared on Times Now TV (way to go, girl!), I realised that Valentine’s Day is also International QuirkyAlone Day (IQD). Fancy that!
According to the site, IQD is a celebration of romance, freedom and individuality. It celebrates true romance (as opposed to the fake versions presented to us in reality dating shows), independence, creativity, friendship, and all kinds of love — including love for yourself.
Quirkyalones are not anti-love and certainly not anti-sex €merely ‘anti-dull relationships’. They would rather spend time hanging out with friends, people with whom they have a real rapport, than endure a bad date. Sounds a lot like me, so I’m all for being a QuirkyAlone…
Jhumur was accompanied on the show by banker-turned-playwright, Anish Trivedi, who used to moonlight as an RJ. His first play, Still Single, looks at relationships in urban India, and portrays the modern Indian woman without the generalizations.
It addresses the compromises that men and women make in choosing and keeping their partners. That’s one play I certainly plan to watch soon. Anyone out there want to join me, let me know…
