It’s great time to exist!

Back in the day, life was very stark. One could either be an engineer, a doctor, or an artist. But today you can be all of those things together and can even make money from it! Dating back in the day, was primitive, all you got to see was a photograph of the potential groom/ bride or you had to spend days looking through the classified ads for the perfect match in the paper. This was usually followed by written correspondence, relatives visiting the potential family, and enquires that took weeks and even months. Today everything is just a click away. All one has to do is swipe right to match or hook up with someone. Life is so much easier, be it midnight hunger pangs, last-minute groceries, money transactions, or google maps.
