Introduction: Time: 0.10 - 1.08 Vadodra में Kshama Bindu नाम की एक 24 साल की लड़की ने 2 June को घोषणा की कि वो खुद से शादी करेंगी। नहीं ये कोई मज़ाक नहीं, 21वीं सदी के भारत की हकीकत है। उनका कहना है कि ये तो ‘self-love' है। ‘Self-love' यानी कि खुद से प्यार करना। । और ये कांसेप्ट खासा चर्चा का विषय बना हुआ ही, केवल भारत में ही नहीं बल्कि दुनिया भर में। आपको लग रहा होगा कि ये सोच अभी अभी की है, नई है, मगर पिछले कुछ सालों में इस तरीके की शादियों ने दुनिया-भर में लोगों को confuse कर के रखा है। आईये आज के एपिसोड में जानते हैं कि क्या होता है ‘Sologamy' का ये अद्भुत निराला कांसेप्ट  Body: Time: 1.12 - 6.13 नमस्कार, आदाब, सत्श्रीअकाल, मैं हूँ Sahiba Khan और आप सुन रहे हैं ABP Live Podcasts की पेशकश FYI यानी कि For Your Information. आज हम बात करेंगे एक ऐसे निराले concept की जो सुनने में अजीब-ओ-गरीब लगता है मगर कई पिछले कुछ वर्षों में इसने नौजवानों के बीच बहुत ज़ोर पकड़ा है। तो Kshama Bindu ने ऐलान किया है कि वो 11 जून को खुद से ब्याह रचाएंगी। मगर क्या होता है Sologamy का concept Sologamy का मतलब है एक पब्लिक यानी कि सार्वजनिक समारोह में खुद से शादी करना, जिसे स्व-विवाह या autogamy भी कहा जाता है। इस तरीके की शादी का किसी भी क़ानून में कोई ज़िक्र नहीं है और न ही इसे acceptable मन गया है। ये कह सकते हैं कि आजकल चल रहे ‘self-love' का ही extension है ये। दोस्तों self-love माने खुद से प्रेम करना। आपने शायद कई बार सुना होगा कि दूसरे में ख़ुशी ढूंढने से बेहतर पहले खुद से खुश रहना सीखना चाहिए। अब लोगों ने इसी मन्त्र पर ‘self-love' का concept निकाला है जिसमें आप खुद को सर्वोपरि मानते हैं। खुद का काम, खुद की ज़रूरतें, खुद के dreams , ambitions, ये सब ‘self-love'का ही हिस्सा है। कई लोग शायद इसे selfishness से confuse कर सकते हैं मगर अब चूँकि लोग हर चीज़ को question कर रहे हैं, उस पर सवाल उठा रहे हैं कि ऐसा है तो क्यों है, उसी के चलते लोग ये भी पूछ रहे हैं कि आखिर क्यों  पीछे रखा जाए, क्यों अपनी ज़रूरतों को किसी और के लिए नज़रअंदाज़ किया जाए। सवाल एकदम लाज़मी है। सालों से लोग जो मानते आ रहे हैं, उस पर भी सवाल उठाना ज़रूरी है। ‘self-love' का कांसेप्ट भी वहीँ से आता है और ये एक तरीके से आपकी स्वतंत्रता और आत्म-प्रेम को जताने का तरीका बन गया है।  मगर ये ट्रेंड आख़िर कब शुरू हुआ? 1993 में Linda Baker नाम की एक दांतों की डॉक्टर ने अमेरिका में खुद से सबसे पहली बार शादी रचाई थी। जी हाँ आज से करीब 29 साल पहले। उस शादी में Baker के 75 दोस्त भी शामिल हुए थे जहाँ Baker ने publicly एक wedding ceremony रखी जहाँ उन्होंने खुद को ‘I do' बोला और शादी के वादों में सिर्फ खुद को रखा। उन्होंने कहा कि मैं हर बीमारी से लेकर सिख-दुःख में अपना साथ दूंगी।   मज़े की बात तो ये है कि पिछले साल  33 वर्षीय Cris Galera ने अपने साथ किया गया Sologamy विवाह मात्र 90 दिनों में तोड़ दिया था और कहा था कि वो खुद को तलाख दे रही हैं क्योंकि उन्हें किसी और से प्यार हो गया है।  मगर ये जो ceremony समारोह की बात चल रही है, तो आप भी शायद curious होंगी कि इन functions में होता क्या है। चलिए वो भी बताती हूँ  इन विवाहों में को भी social norms या rules नहीं होते। जैसे हमने अपने आस-पास शादियां देखीं हैं, ये शादियां भी वैसी ही हो सकती हैं या रस्मों में कुछ फेरबदल हो सकता है। हाँ ये बात है कि जब से ये trend आया है, कई लोग ये service देने लगे हैं, खासकर कि बहार के देशों में ये चलन ज़ोर पकड़ रहा है।  Canada में ‘Marry Yourself' नाम की संस्था ऐसी शादियों में लोगों को सुझाव देती है, उनके लिए सभी तैयारियां करती हैं। San Francisco में IMarriedMe.com भी यही काम करते हैं। ये लोग sologamy wedding kits भी देते हैं जिसमें आपके लिए bands होते हैं, खुद से आप क्या वादे करेंगे वो होते हैं। Kyoto नाम की जगह पर तो Cerca Travel नाम की कम्पनी 2 दिन का self-wedding package भी देती है।  वडोदरा की Bindu का कहना है कि अपनी शादी में वो फेरे से लेकर सिंदूर तक, सभी चीज़ें शामिल करेंगी।  मगर दुनिया भर में ये चलन आख़िर क्यों ज़ोर पकड़ रहा है ? Marry Yourself Vancouver की founder Alexandra Gill ने CBC News को बताया कि “आज, इतिहास में पहली बार, महिलाएं अपने दम पर जीने, अपना करियर बनाने, अपना घर खरीदने, अपना जीवन बनाने, बच्चे पैदा करने का खर्च उठा सकती हैं, उसके बारे में खुद से सोच सकती हैं। हमारी मां और दादी-नानी या उनसे पुरानी पीढ़ी के पास यह विकल्प नहीं था।” वो आगे कहती हैं कि, “Sologamy शादी भले ही खुद से शादी करना होता हो मगर ये तरीका उस स्टिग्मा, उस कलंक को भी हटाता है कि अकेली औरत दुखी होती है, झगड़ालु और तनहा होती है। औरतें शायद अब इस समझ से तंग आ चुकी हैं कि अगर उनकी शादी नहीं हुई है तो वो एक failure है, और शादी करने की उम्र होती है जिसके बाद उनका कुछ नहीं हो सकता।” Conclusion: Time:6.15 - 8.02 सुनने में तो आपको और मुझे भी शुरुआत में ये concept हज़म सा नहीं हो रहा था मगर अब मुझे समझ आ रहा है कि Sologamy सिर्फ एक अजीब रस्म नहीं बल्कि खुद से किया हुआ वादा है कि आप खुद को हमेशा सुखी, आत्म-निर्भर और खुश रखेंगी। Quirkyalone की लेखक Sasha Cagen कहती हैं कि जब भी उन्होंने कसी ऐसी औरत से बात की जिसने Sologamy रचाई है, उन सभी में एक चीज़ समान थी - उनको अपना ख्याल ऐसे रखना है जैसे कोई पति या चाहने वाला उनका ख्याल रखता हो। Sologamy इसलिए भी क्योंकि सालों से शादी के संबंधों में औरतें अपनी इच्छाएं और आकांक्षाओं का गला घोंटते हुए आ रही हैं। ये शादी पहली ऐसी है जिसमें खुद को ऊपर और सर्वोपरि रखना ज़रूरी है। भले ही 1993 में ऐसी शादी सामने आई हो मगर Hollywood इस concept से खासा वाक़िफ़ है। Sex and the City के एक एपिसोड में शो की हीरोइन Carrie Bradshaw को Sologamy करते हुए दिखाया गया था, Glee और Doctor Who नाम के shows में भी इसका ज़िक्र देखने को मिलता है। तो ऐसा नहीं है कि ये concept आज ही आया है। Concept तो बहुत पहले से था, बस आज उसे एक नाम दिया गया है और technology और social media के ज़रिये अब ये ट्रेंड कर रहा है और बाक़ी देशों जैसे भारत में प्रचलन में आ रहा है। देखना होगा कि Bindu के मां-बाप, उनका परिवार इसे कैसे समझता है, क्या भारत में हमें ऐसी और शादियां देखने को मिलेंगी? पता नहीं। क्या आप ऐसी शादी को accept करेंगे? क्या लगता है आपको, हमें ज़रूर बताएं। ABP Live Podcasts के ट्विटर पेज पर जा कर हमें tweet करें और अपनी राय हमें बताएं। फिलहाल मैं चलती हूँ और अब अगले FYI में आपसे मिलूंगी। मुझे इजाज़त दें, मैं हूँ Sahiba Khan, podcast की sound-designing की है Lalit ने और आप सुन रहे थे ABP Live Podcasts की पेशकश - FYI Host: @jhansiserani Sound designing: @lalit1121992

In this week's episode of Spinsterhood Reimagined, I talk to women's empowerment coach and author, Sasha Cagen. I really think that you are going to love this episode because Sasha is fascinating, empowering and lots of fun! Sasha is the founder of the QuirkyAlone movement, (founded in the early 2000's), which gives new meaning to the word quirky, and spreads a message of self-acceptance for both single and partnered people who want to live life on their own terms.She's also the author of the cult hit book, Quirkyalone: A Manifesto For Uncompromising Romantics, and To-Do List: From Buying Milk to Finding A Soul Mate, What Our Lists Reveal About Us. Sasha is also working on a new book, her memoir, Wet.  In this conversation, Sasha and I talk about the sensual world of tango, the big part it's played in her life and the time she spent living in Buenos Aires as a result; her career as a life coach focussing on women over 40; and the Quirkyalone movement which she founded in 2004. Our conversation also includes the ‘tyranny of coupledom'; how Sasha always imagined that she would meet someone and have children but has made peace with not having children; how she would still like to have a relationship and is still a romantic; and the amazing things that have happened in her life as a result of the freedom of being single.Also, Sasha tells me about pussy-walking, what it is and why it's great! I sincerely hope that you all enjoy listening to this episode as much as I enjoyed recording it.Sasha can be found on Instagram: @sashacagen. She can also be found on Twitter: @sashacagen.

Peter McGraw continues his series on solitude with a conversation with Sasha Cagen, the founder of the QuirkyAlone movement. A QuirkyAlone is someone who enjoys being single (but is not opposed to being in a relationship) and generally prefers to be alone rather than dating for the sake of being in a couple. Does that sound like you? They discuss the origins of the term, its evolution, and how the media landscape represents singles. If you stick around to the end, you will learn about one of Sasha’s favorite QuirkyAlones.Love the show?

In 2004, Sasha Cagen wrote a book called Quirkyalone: A Manifesto for Uncompromising Romantics, based on a term she’d created to describe people who are comfortable being single but who want to be in a relationship and won’t settle for something (or someone) that doesn’t allow them to be who they truly are. I first found Quirkyalone probably 10 years ago, and like most people who are drawn to Sasha’s book, I felt like someone finally understood me.  So having Sasha on the show meant a lot  to me. 15 years after publication, Sasha opened up about her perspective on quirkyalone now, and how it relates to choosing to become a mother. We also talk about wisftulness about having children, confronting our fertility expiration date, climate change, and not settling for anything less than what you truly want. Support the show!

Talking to Sasha is always leads to an insightful (and fun!) conversation. This is actually the second time we get to chat (our first convo is back in ep 44 where we talk about her second book Quirkyalone).   This time around we get into how to get grounded in what you want before going out there to look for new opportunities, whether it be in the professional field or personal. We talk about her revolutionary Pussy walk (listen to hear all about it!) and both of our experiences of using this tool to show up with a bigger and stronger presence in all parts of life.   Go to https://sashacagen.com/newsletter/ to sign up for Sasha’s newsletter.

Welcome! My guest today is Sasha Cagen, an author, coach, and lifestyle experimenter. Sasha Cagen helps single and divorcing women in life transition to figure out who they are, what they want, and to go get it. She also helps women reconnect to their sensuality and pleasure to help them get in touch with their unique desires for life. She does this work by combining her life coaching with a 7-day transformative tango holiday in Buenos Aires, using tango as a tool to help women reconnect to themselves and grow their confidence. Tango is Sasha's passion and the dance brought her to Buenos Aires. Sasha is well known as the founder of the Quirkyalone movement, which she created in 2000 to support women and men who prefer to be single rather than settle. Sasha’s books Quirkyalone: A Manifesto for Uncompromising Romantics (Harper) and To-Do List: From Buying Mile to Finding a Soul Mate, What Our Lists Reveal About Us (Simon & Schuster) have received attention on CNN, NPR, and the New York Times. Sasha is at work on a memoir Wet, which tells the tale of her own journey of healing from a childhood incident of sexual abuse through many adventures in sensuality. This book is a female "On the Road," a story of listening to impulses from her body to heal trauma, know her own worth, and create a life on her own terms. Let’s chat with Sasha! What you’ll hear in this episode: Why not having a child was a combination of choice and circumstance Sasha, now 43, never found the right partner to embark upon parenthood in her 30’s. How she decided to pursue happiness on a travel adventure “Having a child simply wasn’t something I HAD to do in this lifetime.” The difficulty as a woman figuring out what you REALLY want Sasha never experienced pressure from her family to have a child; she became her own biggest critic. Why it’s easy to go into “comparison” mode when around friends Sasha’s near-death experience that opened her eyes about the value of life How her Tango Adventures became self-exploration for her and for other spectacular women “Relationships are not for the faint of heart.” Is there an expiration date for a relationship? The importance of feeling comfortable with your sensuality Experiencing moments of grief Sasha’s honesty about the reality of life with a child and how HARD it really would be Why she is aware of her needs and limitations Her creativity is expressed in her passions: writing, coaching, and tango Why you MUST be true to your own creativity and your own path The power and energy of simply being feminine. I enjoyed this conversation so much and I hope you did too.
