Thirtys look good on women, especially the single ones. When I say this, I don't mean to plug feminist values—not that I would mind it either—but experiencing this decade now, as a single woman, I find it to be one of great learning. My 20s were filled with rosy ideas of love. There was the Prince Charming, perfect love story, and chocolates, of course, a lot of it. But the more men this writer came across, the more we were reminded that we were not in a '90s Bollywood movie. Hitting 30 was the turning point. Heartbreak, ghosting and whatnot, makes you self-aware of choices. It's the story of many women. It's not that we resist romance, but everything is embraced with a pinch of salt. We stop looking for signs from the Universe, and instead, start watching out for warning bells at every bend.
These lessons find a revision of sorts in relationship expert Shahzeen Shivdasani's new book Love, Lust and Lemons (Notionpress.com). The book examines situations faced by women, both young and old, navigating the dating scene, and hopes to serve as a go-to guide in their journey of finding love. Shivdasani started writing about relationships in college, sharing her work with a "select group of close girlfriends who were all on the same path as me—desperately trying to find love at a time in our lives where what we needed the most was to desperately find ourselves."
