anyone say emotional attachment is a must for a relationship? Not anymore. With career taking priority for GenNext, the tables have turned around. Result? There are many youngsters who in stead of wearing the badge of commitment, are opting for a fun-filled but loveless relationship. Twenty-three-year-old Vaibhav Khanna is a case in point.

Old formula It's not just the younger lot that's smitten by the idea of being in a loveless relationship. Many people in their 40s and 50s see such relationshiDs as escape zones.

Twenty-six-year-old Rinkila Sharma, who works in a call centre puts it succinctly "It is very convenient for me. I work the whole week and meet my partner only on weekends and then spend some time with him." So, what's your call?
