3月18日 Knotty Issues“Have you started looking for her?”, is one of the dreaded questions every twenty something Indian girl gets to hear at least once in her life time. The question is often posed by a nosy relative donning the hat of a well meaning concerned person. Let us call this character Auntyji.
There are a few things very characteristic of all Auntyjis out there. For starters, they develop a special condition called sudden-selective-temporary-corneal-blindness. This causes the affected to not see or notice the ‘her’ in the above question. The question is thrown at your parents while the unsuspecting girl is sitting right there within ear shot and usually in the line of sight of Auntyji. Another characteristic thing is that all Auntyjis have a amazing search algorithm with an immense database wired into their brains. Moments after they pose the question, you can see them rattling off details of every single eligible bachelor inhabiting earth, putting even the best resume searching software to shame. The details they manage to deliver is also noteworthy. Right from the hapless specimen’s GPA in college to his birth marks, all the details are indexed and available at her finger tips. Coming back to the question, there is no known way for a girl to dodge this without some casualty. A limb lost there, an eye torn out here, few tears shed there… trust me it is a mess. You reason, you plead, you threaten, but the storm rages unrelentingly. And finally as abruptly as it began it dies down. Quite honestly, the calm after the storm is scary. It leaves you wondering what your parents are up to. Yet you don’t want to broach the topic for the fear of provoking yet another bout of the storm. Argh!!!! Can some one pass a law increasing the marriageable age for girls to 28? Puhleeeeeeeesssssssseeeeee!!!!! 引用通告此日志的引用通告 URL 是： http://chalkcheeseandmore.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!3500510FEC3E30D1!110.trak 引用此项的网络日志
