"People are shying off from making a commitment towards long-term relationships and acceptability of short-term arrangements has increased by large. In fact it would not be an exaggeration to say that both men and women are equally inclined to go into a relationship without making any commitment," says Rajiv Kotnala, Manager in a leading BPO.
