When a great scientist, or a devoted politician, or a committed author decides to remain unmarried, it is wonderful. But only then. First of all, figure out something great to be immersed and absorbed in. If you can figure that out, then you get the licence to remain unmarried. Only then.

I think it was Bhagat Singh who said, when his mother asked him, “Why don’t you get married?” he replied, “I am already married, and her name is freedom.” Now, it behoves a Bhagat Singh not to get married to a woman because he has committed himself to freedom. Wonderful. But to every Tom, Dick and Harry it does not suit.
