Growing up, I always thought that dating rule number one was to have a girlfriend or boyfriend, and rule number two was to have money in your pocket. Well, I’m proud to say that I’ve checked both those boxes! But let’s talk about the second rule for a moment. In a world where having ₹100 is considered nothing more than “chillar,” I’ve learned that true happiness isn’t always about the size of your wallet. So, let me take you on a journey through my experiences of dating, eating, and cherishing the little moments that have shaped my perspective on love and life.
Namaskara Bengaluru! Mera naam Anurag hai, aur mein garib nahi hu (मेरा नाम अनुराग है, और मैं गरीब नहीं हूँ।). One fine evening I just happened to have no money and hence the Rs.100 date on the streets of Indiranagar coz that’s where I live so no transportation was needed duh!
The expense breakdown reveals that joy and connection can be found in the simplest and most affordable moments. Making this date public through the blog was a way of highlighting that love and happiness don’t always come with a hefty price tag; sometimes, it’s the small, budget-friendly moments that leave the most lasting impact.
