To be or not to be....is not the question anymore
There are more important, much more confusing, oh-so-demanding and course-of-life-changing questions one needs to answer these days. Well, not 'these days' literally but days when a mid twenties, Career oriented, super-ambitious, single, confused woman has to deal with overwhelming arranged marriage scenes with her folks, with a sooooooooper bitch at work and at a generally unclear point in life. Ugh. This is so not me. But it is true. Days are over when I would pretend this was happening to someone else and that I will just get up and go back to my own happy and content life whenever I want to. Not gonna happen. Reality has finally sunk in. And it is so so so not fair. First there is the arranged marriage thing. Very recently, after numerous sad little meetings with prospective grooms and families, my childhood thought of 'arranged marriage is so much better' died and 'wish I was smart enough to get a life AND a guy' thought took over. But who else is to be blamed, but the smart ass - myself? I was the miss-know-it-all who laughed on you in school when you had your 1st boyfriend. I was the jerk who ridiculed you in college when you lost sleep over some guy and/or relationship. I was the bitch who lectured you at work about how important a career is over some stupid guy and how shortsighted you are being when you gave more importance to looowe life over a career. Laugh on me now - all of you. Because I declare here, that though being single is still the best for me, there is a time in your life when you have to have to have to get married, this way or the other. 'This way' being the love marriage way, which I so much prefer now to the 'that way' of arranged marriage. I feel like the last dinosaur man, seriously. Aaargggh!

Sirf tera kyo! bhagvaan sab ka bhala kare. shuruaat mujh se kare.
Spectator: Zaroor. But start will be me. I need it more. :)
:-) Wanted to start wid a smile dear.
Anyways,I know how it feels...I am still holding on to my words that " It's not time yet, dont start looking for guys"
But deep inside, I know that no one is listening to that and silently, a conspiracy is mushrooming. :-(
I do get hints of this conspiracy but I prefer to believe that it is not true(Just to make myself comfortable)
But sooner or later, I know I would have to surrender and I dread that day:-(
Good Luck to you!
Akanksha: :) Thanks sweeti..

Take a breath, slow down, take a step back and relax. Your mind/vision will become clearer.
Give Marlboro Lights a try (it worked for me, an year bk) and still if peace eludes you, try pranayama, it definitely does work.

okay. Positive thing(S)
1- the 'ugliest fattest' individual is not related to you by blood. your knowing her is a temporary phase. thank god.
2- when you go the 'arranged' way, you MAY find someone interesting.. and interesting is better than... umm not. *gags at lack of sense*
3- you write fabulously, its fun and wonderfully easy to relate to... so thats a constant positive :)
come oooon, there a billion reasons to be happy... count like a 1000 of them and feel lucky!
maybe moving to another city is a good idea...new people...new food... new life?
i dont know... at least a new perspective and tons more to talk about :D
hope you figure it out, and when you do.. tell me how to!....
Don't Just Give Up! It's quite easier to preach than follow, but that's where i strength lies...Time is the best Healer...Sometimes..when you feel jaded, handcuffed..you just have to hang on!
