When things go wrong in your romantic life as they always will, you don’t let life come to standstill. Well, I didn’t mean to rhyme, but the point is I’ve seen too many people holding on to their past when an inevitable break-up dawns upon their romantic lives. While it is necessary and nearly indispensable to go through the break-up blues, you still have a choice how long you want to suffer.
I know it hurts when you bump into an old email chat (why don’t anybody write letters these days?), hear a romantic track that potentially kicked off your relationship or revisit a few good-old text messages from your ex. The point is you just need to force yourself out of there as it doesn’t really seem to help matters anymore. I mean hey, you have got a job to save, a whole life to look after, and maybe, an entire society to revolutionize! Well, maybe, the last part was a little too much exaggerated. Ok, so if you don’t mean to wallow in the mud of your break-up blues, here are some things you can definitely try out for free:
Hurt Facebook & Twitter: Yes, they don’t take money unless you want to advertise your products. But I don’t think you’ve got anything to promote at the moment. Then add friends and then some more friends until Facebook finally blocks you to contact people. What you essentially achieve from this operation is that you take it out on Mark Zuckerberg although he isn’t primarily responsible for your suffering. Ok, after you end up violating the Facebook code of conduct and get banned from adding friends for a while, it’s time to move on to Dick Costolo, in other words – Twitter. But, please don’t hurt him as they are still a non-profit. Can’t you see Evan Williams has stepped down already!
Travel Random Places: Yes, random places because your “plans” don’t seem to succeed. Get up in the morning, wake up your close friends and tell them they have to join you to the nearest water park. While you drive along your way to the water park, pull over at the close-by theatre and tell them to watch a movie instead. But, make sure the movie isn’t romantic one – choose the one that casts Nana Patekar gunning down goons mercilessly and mouthing suggestive slangs. It soothes your soul, you have to trust me on that.
Listen to Eminem: It’s totally beyond me why there’s a section of this world that still hate Eminem, the greatest rapper the world has ever heard of. He’s motivational, inspirational and diametrically derogatory to the evils of the society. Yes, he can help you dwell on his rhymes vicariously if you consider your ex an off-shoot of this evil society. Do NOT by any chance play any music sung by Sonu Nigam – his songs won’t help you detach. This brings me to ask you – Why doesn’t Sonu try being a desi-rap artist as well?
Watch The IPL Tournament: I don’t care if you love cricket, but you live in India and you have to convert into cricket (yes, they call it a religion). Thank BCCI for forcing another tournament on Indians before the World Cup hangover could sink in. Even when you were in a relationship, your ex never liked you as a mad cricket fan when Zaheer’s magic spell would cast a spell on you that was more effective than the new haircut of your ex. Believe it or not, cricket and love have never ever made it to the bed. So enjoy the IPL tournament, regardless of which team you’re supporting to win. The best part of IPL is that you don’t really have to feel depressed no matter which team wins a match. It doesn’t really matter whether your team wins as you’ve already shifted your attention to cricket which has clearly triumphed over your break-up blues at the end of the day. Right? Ok, now move on to the next one!
Update Your Blog: Since you don’t spend time talking to your love anymore, it’s time to dust off that old blog which has suffered from your romantic procrastination. Is that how you describe things that get delayed because of your exaggerated attention to romantic life? Whatever! Now that you have begun thinking differently after the break-up and a whole new set of thoughts are hitting your mind every now and again, you should let them out and let the Internet people to sit back and read them. Depending on how much of a douchebag you are, you might as well share them with your Facebook friends. Trust me, it helps!
Conclusion: They say let time heal the whole thing. But take it from me – never wait for that illusive time heal it when you have your very own resources to heal it. Well, if none of the above tips seem to help you, start your very own IT start-up – it definitely will
