(I read it in Hindustan Times, written by Geetanjali sharma) Why date a girl who writes It is hard to date a girl who writes. But be patient with her. Give her books for her birthday, plenty of hand-made paper for Christmas and for anniversaries, gift her some more books. Let her know that you are behind her every step of the way, for the lines between fiction and reality are fluid. A girl who writes will not expect perfection. Shell understand that a good book does not have perfect characters. If you find her at 2 am typing furiously, gently place a blanket on her so she doesnt catch a chill. Make her a pot of coffee or tea and sit with her. You may lose her to her world of words for sometime but she will come back to you. Just the two of you illuminated by the laptop screen, but unconquerable in the darkness. She is your Shahrazad. When youre afraid of the dark, she will guide you, her words lighting up your way. She is naughty, mischievous, yet quiet and when she cries, hold her and tell her that it will be alright. You will smile hard when she talks and even over long awkward silences over the phone, you both will feel a magnetic spark. Your heart will skip a beat when she holds your hand and writes the stories of your life together. Her names for your children might sound strange but youll be okay with that. A girl who writes will tell your children stories. Shell be your savior, your best friend. Date a girl who writes because you deserve it. She is witty, energetic, and fun to be around. Shell be infuriating at times and sometimes youll hate her. Sometimes she will hate you back. But shell not leave on a midnight train the first moment things go sour. Shell know that real life is not a fairy tale, because while she dwells inside the world of stories, she lives in reality. Date a girl who writes. Because there is no one better!
