My life was very different and much more exciting than all of theirs. I had chosen to remain single, despite the coaxing and threatening that my parents and relatives showered upon me.

I have always heard my mother say that a woman is incomplete without a man. That's what society would like women to believe.

We have been conditioned to feel that wanting money is bad. Money is evil etc. It is not. We need to have a loving respectful relationship with money.

They pass snide remarks. “Too ambitious. Too fussy. Too single.” You are the poster child of a life gone wrong.

I grew up believing that being single was an ailment and that everyone should have a partner. But life has taught me otherwise.
