When somebody decided to leave home with half a fridge…

Leaving Home with Half a Fridge is a memoir by Aarathi Menon. I am yet to read it, but I know that the book is about how the writer survived her divorce. One of my friends who recently read the book got deeply sensitive about it (she is yet to find her prince charming). She decided to meet me, who is another havoc in these things. The dialogue reached topics like how trivial things result in ceasing a beautiful relationship. It’s the season of celebrity split ups too, hence the topic seemed sensible for the day.

I relived my memories on relationships, which definitely include silly infatuations and took time to analyze why and how I decided choices, even to opt for one or to get rid of one. I definitely agree that the matter of relationship can never be generalized and it differs from one to another. Nobody can take a final call on it, nor can decide if one was wrong or right in taking any decisions. It heavily depends up on the conditioning, social systems, awareness and beliefs on gender and many more such innumerable factors, and I would not risk to stomp on it.

Of any kind, break ups of sincere relationships do create a mess in life. They teach us several things, either to live better or die worse. The whole dialogue and time spent on thinking about these proved worthless for me. It is not because I do no value these. But, it is because I’m not clear on the chemistry and mindset involved in relationships. I myself has changed its course several times in my life, and has learned a new lesson each time. Anyways, mind has the liberty to become worthless once in a while and today was that day!
