HONEY! I’VE DUMPED YOU

Recouping a broken relationship
Broken relationships are more painful than broken ribs. I am no big psychiatrist but I am a human. I’ve had my share of heartbreaks and heartaches. So what do we do when somebody actually dump on us. For once life comes to a standstill. Nothing seems real we feel like “God let it be a nightmare, let it get over when I wake up.” When the reality actually dawns we know it’s too late to set things right. Now what! What should we do increase the sale of tissues, CRY SOB SLOTH organize a condolence meeting for the relationship that no longer exists.
Here are some handy and practical tips which helped me to move on with things.
The Chronicles of Sobbster: -
This was told by one of my friends and believe me this helped me miraculously. Wondering what is it exactly! Well maintain a grief diary. The most difficult phase after a break up is the flood of memories that keeps on flowing in your brain like a deluge. Those texts messages, those songs everything pinches you. You feel like talking to that idiot again. But you can’t. So what do you do next? You just simply sit and sob. Next time, pick a diary (an old one though) and start writing whatever you feel like. You feel like swearing, swear in it. Curse, talk, and love whatever you want to say to that fellow who has actually dumped you. Now the question is what the funda behind the entire gamut is. Well you actually start writing #1 it takes time #2 it takes effort and finally this entire process of writing becomes so painful that you come out of that web of memories. You actually see the sun behind those clouds. And with the diary use it in the barbecue next time.

The Six Packs:-
Well six packs are in really in fashion. After a break up get a six pack. Join a gym or any sport (Well could have mentioned some fancy names but nobody agreed for sponsorship money!) Na I am not endorsing a Shahrukh or Aamir here. Ask your science teachers they can explain better. A work out releases a hormone that distresses the mind and helps to forget those old unwanted memories. But hey wait a minute don’t go heavy on the pocket. A run for a mile will do the same miracle.

The Jagjit Effect: -
Well listening to Jagjit Singh can be dangerous. (Hey no offence intended) Well this happened to me Jagjit Singh, Kishor Kumar, Ghulam Ali became instant favorite with me after I was dumped for the first time. It took me a while that those songs actually added to the trauma. They take you back to those days. So please pick some good numbers. The music market is flooded with good numbers. And also stop correlating every number with your life. You feel like Ghulam Ali is actually singing your story. Gulzar Saab wrote the song keeping you in mind. For once give it a break. Pick some good music and hum to it.

Rendezvous with Simi Gerewal: -
Na Not a big fan of hers. But yes the conversation part of it rocks. Well the phrase “Gham Bantne se Kam hota hai” actually makes sense. Talk about your issues to friends, family, and pets. Even talking to an empathetic stranger on the internet helps a lot. Don’t keep things piled up in your heart spew it out. You need courage for it and you need to accept the fact that people who loves ought to know what going on in your life.

Finally remember laugh, live and enjoy. Love comes again in life. Remember what Sidney Sheldon tells in his autobiography “You don’t know what can happen tomorrow. Life is like a novel, isn’t it? It’s filled with suspense. You have no idea what’s going to happen until you turn the page.” So keep turning the pages

  1. In one word: Realistic....

    I don't agree with just one thing: "Gham batne se ghat-ta hai!". Sala, pata nahin kisne ye kaha hai! I believe gham batne se bad-ta hai! You sob and cry more because you have people to hear you!

    Rather, 1 thing that also reduces the stress is Rebuilding Confidence by being involved in certain interest activities and taking a small break from the routine (Trust me that helps... I have had just a recent break up!)

    Definitely an interesting and wonderful article. Kudos!
