‘20s loneliness is real’ a friend in Mumbai texted me recently. We were talking about how life had suddenly become so hectic, and lonely after starting to work. You wake up alone, go to office alone, spend most of your time in office by yourself, travel back to home alone, and then go to sleep alone. Of course, you have interactions with your friends, your colleagues and what have you. But there is not much companionship. It begs the question - is this loneliness mostly about not having a partner in your life? Is that all one is missing? Me and this very same friend collectively lamented about how the dating market is not the most alluring. You meet someone here, catch someone’s fancy there - but nothing happens. Sometimes you lose interest, sometimes the others do. It’s all a mating game, and surprisingly we all are losing.
