So, i broke the news to my aunts as well when they pestered me over the M word yet again, saying that their jhumkas would give me limitless blessings and their shararas would dance unashamed in the evening breeze if i could just find a guy and get married by, get this, next October. My mother couldn't stop smiling, my aunts were bursting with curiosity and grilling me about the boy (and i know zilch; well, close to zilch) and giving me these i-knew-something-was-up-your-sleeve looks.
I am stupefied. It's a stranger we're talking about here. Someone i hadn't heard of before last week. Someone i only showed SOME curiosity in. JUST curiosity. And NOT that i AM going to get married to him or something. Not that i AM going to get married AT ALL. If they're spilling all over themselves with happiness at just the interest i show in somebody who seems like a potential candidate for slaughter, i shudder to think what could happen if things actually work out.
Save me, God.

I find this huge excitement in others for your wedding pretty silly but guess somehow its seems to be a universal thing....so grin and bear!!!
