I hate having to come up with stupid titles….I think a lotta times…its just these titles…that really stop me from posting something….Stupid..stupid thing!
Ahh…anyways…today( yesterday now…its 1:10am) had its share of Ups and Downs….
Finally got to chat with my cousin today…who’s all set to get married to his girlfriend..woo hoo! I mean i dint even know there was “someone” until recently….but still Wooo Hoo..i’m soooo happy for him…i was grinning through out our-conversation..which included mommy too….She wanted to get details from him….and stuff…he was all smiles…talking about her…the love of his life….Hoping to get to meet her sometime soon!
God! Times sure have been changing…just a few years back..we were all lil kids…fighting over lil things…the innocence….care free…..nothing to worry about..hassle free life. Things sure have changed now…Work life is gonna begin soon for me. Friends….like my friends…people i went to school with….are getting MARRIED !!! Its soo bloody weird …i mean..the first time a friend told me she was getting married soon…i just didn’t no what to say….!! It was then that i realised….i was actually getting old….older !!!
Coming back home…has always been the best part about holidays…but not anymore!! Thanks to all the family friends, relatives…and annoying aunties talking about “MY” marriage…..I’m still a baby…!! I at-least have another 2-3 years to go. ( I personally think i’m gonna get married realllllyyyy late…..but that’s a different story all together…shall save that for another time!). Mommy has started asking me if there is “someone” in my life. I’ve never had a “someone” conversation with her before!! My answer was “no” …obviously…cuz there is no one now…..But i wonder what i would have told her if there really was someone. I wonder…how she would have reacted to it. I know she wouldn’t have been happy…..!
She’s never been a fan of “love marriages”. So I kinda always knew i was gonna have to be happy with an “arranged marriage”. I was ok with it…But that was yearsss back ( 3 years back !!). Then..it was something that was gonna happen…much later….But now its becoming more of a reality. The whole idea of an arranged marriage is SCARY!! And the probability of me “falling in love” ( or actually the probability of some decent guy falling for me) are…well….NIL ! So GOD Help Me !
The search for an eligible guy has not yet started (thank god! ) ….Till then….I’m hoping to bump into Mr.Right ( or Mr.Wrong??? that again..is another long story…)
*Sigh* Life sure is getting more complicated…..

They don’t ‘need’ titles; I’ve posted before without a title, but I always go back and put one in. It gives me, and anyone else who thinks about reading it, some idea what it’s about. I enjoy trying to reduce the whole entry to a word or a few words.
BTW, life IS complicated. Otherwise our brains would never have developed into what we have. IMHO. – T

Thanks for the reply tmulcahy….i know…posts dont “need” titles…but jus that fact that there is something that says “titles” there….makes me have to come up with something…which…i suck at ! ..heheh..ya…so thats why i hate em….
no matter how developed our brains our….never really enough to cope up with…every lil situation that’s thrown at us! Which i guess…is the beauty of it all…..Lessons learnt from experiences are the best learnt ones….!

Sometimes, a title pops into my head and I just have to think something up to write about so that I can use that title. How mad is that? Other times, I write posts and I have about four different titles that would be suitable and it takes me ages to decide which one to use.
Regarding marriage etc…lovely little family story there. I’m curious about about the “arranged marriage” arrangement?

Earthpal..thank u for the comment !
…Well i’ve always thot one has to be reallllyyyy creative to be able to come up with titles…unfortunately…im not one of them ! 
…but that doesnt really come up with really over-used/ cliched titles..hehe…
Sounds like the “arranged marriage” concept is alien to u..huh? …Well…back in India…this is how it usuall works….there’s either a love marriage happens…wherein…boy meets girl…fall in love….decide to get married…and get married…with or without parents approval. And then there’s the arranged marriage…where after a certain age…parents start lookin for eligible guys/girls….for their child…once they find the “perfect” guy/girl…marriage is fixed…with or without their child’s approval ( nowdays its always with approval..the kid gets to decide who he/she wants to be with..get’s to spent time and get to know the other person) and then..they get married ! So thats how it works …hope that was helpful

Flowerchild, I know what you mean about cliched titles. Some are so corny. I’ve even cringed at some of my own titles in the past. Lol.

I have heard of the arranged marriage thing but didn’t really know the details. Thanks for explaining.

Enjoy your day.
