It is one of those days when I do not know what to write about. Should I talk about the sudden spell of real Indian winters or about the upcoming fashion trends. You know what, there is something I have been itching to talk about for a long time. It certainly is more important than fashion trends of 2016 for me, at least for today.
I am talking about goals: not our usual, run-of-the-mill goals of losing weight or starting our own business or travelling more often, or owning a pet, but something else. It is the goals that magazines and sub-standard but very successful (I wonder if there is a co-relation between the two, but we will talk about that some other day) platforms on internet throw at us. "Ben Afleck and Jennifer Garner give us marriage goals." The next day I hear Ricky Gervais saying that Matt Damon is the only person Ben has been faithful to! Okay, it was not the next day, but you get the point I am trying to make here I hope.
I am not a severe cynic. I totally understand when they say that Charlize Theron gives us hair goals or my sisters give everyone craziness goals. But relationship goals? Friendship goals? I mean c'mmon, shut the front door!
Only two people know if their relationship or marriage or friendship is great or not. Maybe a few close friends have an idea as well. But that's it. Also an internet platform has no right to assume we are losers with no friends or lovers. For all they know, we are happier with our lovers and our friendships are stronger than they can ever imagine.
