The Wedding Plan


I can’t be in denial forever! Yes I have reached an age where men get married to women! But then it is getting next to impossible to not have a conversation which involves the very basic question “When are you getting married?”

Ok….If I actually know the answer to this question I can answer it but since I don’t have the answer I am unable to answer so don’t expect a bloody answer from me on this. Another statement which you can hear, now that you have bought a car you can get married! Anyone who can enlighten me on this will be appreciated as I seriously don’t know who buying a car or even anything else is remotely connected to getting married.

The other statement, “It is High Time” you get married! The only High Time I know off is the pub we used to frequent a few years back during my Irevna days and I am still clueless why it is “High Time” that I get married! Age does comes in but at 28 I don’t think it is a necessity that I get married because I am 28 and I am soon facing the menacing 30 year mark!

Age has nothing to do with marriage but people still considered that now that you have reached the “Right Age” you get married off to the next person they feel is right for you. It is not that I am dating the right person and I am not willing to get married! If am not married now simple, there are a variety of reasons and the key among them is that I have not met that person.

We are all hypocrites and worse of the lots are our moms who I imagine a few years back told her I am going to marry “X” she immediately would have asked me if she is a Brahmin Girl! I don’t know how being a Brahmin makes you marriage material but then now she “Claims” she is ok with anyone, so maybe I should put the theory to test and see if she is actually true to her claims.

The extended family, sheesh the most useless group of our social system where you are forced to listen and hear out people who in reality is off no use for you! I don’t mean to demean them but seriously I have not come across one extended family member who I can go to when I am actually in crisis but then you always get free “Shitty” advice from them and of course when it comes to marriages they think they know it and tell you it is time you get married.

It is easy for me to tell anyone to get married but then seriously if you have a real intention you would actually introduce me to a girl rather than make statements like “Get Married” as I can also make a million statements.

It is not true that I am against the intuition of marriage itself but then the whole process which currently is the flavor of the nation is the online portals where you actually “Shop” and “Barter” for brides! Ridiculous as it may seem in Western societies dating sites exist for people to meet people but here matrimony websites exists so that the girl and her folks can extract the most of the boy! This may sound one sided but heck that is the truth as the truth will hurt and any women reading this will oppose this by saying that all the good men are married but I beg to differ! There are good people but guess you are all blind in finding them!

If I get on to the whole matrimony website banter, I could go on and on but I decided to not waste time writing too much about crap! Seriously every parent thinks that his girl looks like a Katrina Kaif and every parent and even the girl wants a Brad Pitt! Anyways the irony is that these websites actually makes the whole arrange marriage agreement looks like a complex M&A deal! I am being very decent here in calling it an M&A deal!

So I can safely answer that I am not getting married now because I am not seeing anyone and you can safely assume that I don’t have the answer to the question “When are you getting married?”
