Less talk more action

"I wish I would wake up one day and find I'd been married to someone for six years" said Lata Mehra, one of the protagonists in Vikram Seth's voluminous novel, A Suitable Boy. I must say I've felt the same many times during my own journey for a suitable boy.

Like Lata's fictional life, 2014 has so far brought a continuous stream of suitors into my life and like Lata, I've narrowed it down to three options - who I have been seeing over the past six weeks. I can't remember a time when my evenings have been this occupied by dates, since I made my debut on the singles scene. There have been so many potentials that I've found myself talking to them solely so that I can set them up with other single girl's I know.

It's tiring but in the whirlwind of it all I have found myself too busy to be introspective or indulge in any 'pity parties' with other single friends or smug married types (something that was otherwise becoming a far too regular occurrence). So, I feel like someone has pressed 'play' on the movie that is my love life. At the moment I can't say I'm any closer to getting that ring on my finger but I've had a wonderful start to the year and hope my journey continues this way.

Faith is restored.
