Shivratri comes once a year. But longing doesn’t wait for a calendar. Somewhere between hope and heartbreak, many of us whisper the same prayer: “Let this be the one.” We fast. We light lamps. We chant mantras. And beneath all of it is a very human desire, not just to be loved, but to be chosen. To not be confused. To not be temporary in someone’s life. But here is something most people don’t say out loud: praying for love is easy. Praying for the right love is harder.
