90 Day Plan of Getting Over Heartbreak
Some 30 years back I was in love with a person and the entanglement lasted about 2 days and the pain and heartbreak lasted 2 years during which time a lot of alcohol was consumed which created their own famed stories in the campus, Gulzar was read and Ghalib was understood, in addition various other love stories were read, where people pined and died for love. Needless to say this was all pretty much useless and a waste of time, as they did not help in heartbreak and only made matters worst. 30 years later here is a 90 Day formula of 10 things which if done properly can aid in quick recovery from breakup or Gaand Pe Laat (GPL) whichever term makes you happy:
Lesson 1: Don’t drink alcohol every day
First things first, though alcohol is a solution, but its not a solution to heartbreak, the more you drink the more you will listen to love songs and the more you will drink, its a vicious circle with no out. In the end you will just be drinking and be in the endless loop, so drink only sparingly and socially and never to get over hurt. Be a woman and get over the pain. Don’t be like this guy 👇.
Lesson 2: Pretend you are happy
Pretend you are happy, works better than pretending to be sad, because you really do not know if you would have had a happy life if you were together forever with your love interest. So pretend to be happy, find reasons, I know its difficult but you can do it. Take lessons from Aishwarya Rai 👇.
Lesson 3: Distract yourself
Find hobbies, art craft, music, dating app and what not to distract yourself, don’t think about your ‘love’ 24x7.
Aur bhi gham hai zamane mein ek mohabbat ka siwa.
Make new friends if your old friends are not helping, change the scene if that is what it takes.
Lesson 4: Cry yourself out
Crying is inevitable, don’t try to suppress it, try not to do it in public, in bars and pubs and certainly not on the floor of bar toilets, with the ubiquitous cameras you may never get over the moment. Don’t try to be a brave woman or man, cry loudly, bawl, scream in frustration, get over it, the more you cry the more you will see the stupidity of your pain, so cry that hurt out.
Lesson 5: Talk about your feelings with Kaminey dost or vent on twitter
If you have Kaminey friends, talk about your feelings with them, I am sure they will be able to make mincemeat out of your love and feelings way faster than Sujata Mixer Grinder, if you don’t have Kaminey dost and only ‘understanding ones’ please vent on Twitter, you will find enough people to kick you and your love around.
Most Important: Don’t listen to Gulzar, Jagjit Singh, Kishore Kumar and Arijit Singh
No matter what you do or don’t do, don’t listen to Gulzar, Jagjit Singh and Arijit Singh, listen to Yo Yo Honey Singh, Badhshah and the likes, meaningless lyrics work better at curing heartbreak than soulful lyrics. Here is a meaningless upbeat song playlist especially curated for heartbreak.
‘DJ Waale Babu Mera Gaana Chala De’ works better than ‘Main phir bhi tumko chahoonga’
Lesson 7: Be patient with yourself
Nothing happens in 30 days, give yourself some time to get over the hurt and heartbreak, it takes sometime to figure out how to find love again. Do not take more than a quarter of a year (90 days) to get over someone, remember “raat ye bhi guzar jayegi”. If you are unable to do so you may need some extreme treatments for which get in touch with the author.
Lesson 8: Love yourself
Nobody is worth more than you and your own happiness, remember and recognize that, don’t demean yourself and agree to strange terms and conditions to be with someone. Value your own happiness and life and interests more than other person’s interest.
Love 9: Don’t try to bring people back in your life
Don’t expect people to come back into your life, make very minimal efforts if at all towards that end, if they really wanted to stay they wouldn’t break up with you, and say nasty things to you, would they? Even if you are able to get back together chances are you won’t be together for long, and would face the same crises again. Elon Musk married the same woman twice and here is his reaction when asked why 👇.
Lesson 10: Don’t stalk (or give a damn)
In the good old days people used to follow the love interest around on foot and on cycle, scooters or cars or find other excuses to be around the person of their affection. In the modern times there is Facebook, Instagram and what not through which you can stalk. Don’t do that. Unfriend, Unfollow and move on. Hear it from the master himself 👇.
