An Indian Bachelor’s Tale: Love, Loneliness, and Laddoos

I never imagined I would write a poem on the topic of bachelorhood, but inspiration struck unexpectedly, leading me to create this piece. As a girl, I acknowledge that I don’t have the personal experience of a bachelor, nor do I foresee it in my future. However, I felt compelled to explore the emotions surrounding the pain of being a bachelor. My inspiration came from the beloved character Popatlal from the popular TV show "Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah," who is desperately waiting for marriage but hasn’t found a partner despite his long wait. While my poem reflects genuine emotions, it is ultimately a product of my imagination. Here's the poem below. 👇 

Bachelor's Pain

It's too late, God!  

Please find someone for me,  

I know you're my well-wisher,  

But can't you make it fast?  

Please listen to me first, dear.

I want to share my life with her,  

I want to create memories with her.  

I also want someone who is mine,  

Who will take care of me,  

Who will prepare food for me,  

Who will fight with me.

I want to taste the laddoo of marriage,  

I want some bindi on my mirror.  

I'm waiting to find her in my prayers,  

I wish to see her clothes in my cupboard.

I want to say to her, "You look beautiful,"  

I want to share my life with her.  

I can't wait further,  

Please, God, make my life a rainbow.
