To be or not to be – Bachelor or rather chronic bachelor
Ask any man, what is that one thing that has the capability of moving this otherwise resolute piece of creation that has withstood the test of age; his reply would definitely include his love for his son or daughter. Time has proved this again and again, be it the high profile politician, the terrifying underworld don, the common man who shares lots of common faces or even the poverty stricken peasant that children bring them joy and they are ready to go to any extent to fulfill their wishes.
Living in such a family oriented environment, you can predict the enormous pressures on the youth of this country nearing marriageable age. I happen to be one of them, one of the very youth who wishes to hide their face behind the thousands of marriage ready off the shelf market products. I don’t see the need for marriage, I always thought it was my childishness but now that I have grown up, I still linger with the same thought. What made me take such a decision, I don’t know. You can always reason. Maybe the fear of attending to responsibilities, not able to carry one’s own duties, the constant disappearance into the wilds, my absurd random thoughts, I really don’t know. But one thing is for sure, I am not ready for such a trial.
As time progresses I may have a change of opinion and I may have to finally succumb to societal pressures, but not willingly. The feeling of living for oneself and the joy of having no strings attached is a pleasure that I long for. But then the argument to be placed is that if my parents thought of the same, I wouldn’t have been born. They are right, no questions about it, but Am I wrong?
I always have this constant urge to fight destiny, constant process of trying to conquer destiny, completely knowing that it is my providence to fight fate. During this psychological fight, I move away from rationalism and craft a delusionary island where I strap myself to a boat, the only way to get off the island, and wait for fate to take its course. I know I am moving towards that stage where the world will chain and pelt stones at me. So why bother to destroy one more life when I know my end, the ultimate end?
Keeping all this in mind, I have decided to remain a bachelor or rather a chronic bachelor. But there remains one question that ponders in my mind for which I have no answer. Tomorrow will a day come when I will long to hear that one word from a creation that’s mine – ‘Father’
