Oh, good grief! The feelingof getting rejected is like taking a critical hit in a boxing ring. At some point, every one of us has been in that ring – some might have been down for the count in the first round, while others duked it out until the final bell. Bada painful scene hai, na?
Now, imagine a ghayal boxer – bleeding, stumbling, falling, rinse and repeat. But what's the one move they all make? They get up. They rise on their feet, ready to rumble. They may end up losing, sure, but they lift that arm, a bit dejected maybe, but also saying, "I gave it my all. I learned from this beatdown. I'm out for now, but watch out, main wapas aunga, laut kar – Kyuki Picture abhi baaki hai mere dosst.”
And that's precisely how we ought to handle 'rejection.' You gave the relationship your A-game, and if it came with an expiration date – well, time's up. Feel the sting, shed a tear, and drown in a carb-induced coma for a bit. Then channel your inner Beautiful Boxer – elegant, tougher, and back in the ring.
Ready for the next round? Hell yes!
