Prospective Groom

Well, I've been bottling this up for a long time. This should be a continuation to my previous post, 'Marriage?'. Well I let somebody judge me and went through the registration/application process of arranged marriage for my parents. I let them take the next step and got introduced to the prospective groom. We started chatting, and talking once in a while and my parents kept asking me everyday 'How's it going? ,Did he say anything about marriage?, Do you think we can fix the marriage date soon?' Wait, didn't we just start talking, yes I had to remind my parents that everyday. Whenever I used to talk this prospective groom of mine I used to feel this strong intution that he is not interested and he is staging the whole thing for his parents. Did it turn out to be true in the end...yes there was an end and it was true. He called me some other girls' name. I know, shouldn't a prospective groom know a prospective bride's name after a month of chatting and talking. The reaosn he has 'He has a lot of frends whose name starts with the same alphabet'. Woooo dude SO DO I! That was the end of the prospective groom.

Now you know why I say go find your own man!

Wild Streak

Does anybody know why we women cut hair or buy shoes or do anything wild? I think I have just found the answer...for women like me atleast. We control ourselves all our life...always being the perfect role model to your younger ones, responsible, selfless...with every year I've lost my real self and become too mature that I forgot to enjoy myself. It recently hit me that you need to be selfish to live your life. For those of you who are like me, go cut your hair or buy shoes or get that favourite dress you've seen on a display or get a tattoo.

I think my next wild streak is dancing...!!! Wish me good luck!

Marriage ?

I am sure all the women around the world will have something to say about marriages, expecially Indian women. I used to get freaked out if anyone mentioned marriage proposal. Being 25 and unmarried sounds unnatural to any Indian, to be more specific Keralites. I come from a family where all my aunts got married in their teens, some as early as 13 (back in 1950s) and their daughters got married when they were 18 - 20 and their kids are getting married now. I know, it makes me feel so old when my nieces are getting married.

I am at this stage and at an age where marriage is a big question mark. Do I want to get married or not? Is marriage the answer to all your questions? NO! There's a lot more in this world, so much left to explore. Marriage is just another step, a big responsiility. I am always worried whether I will marry the right guy. Life is just a big question mark right now. Too many dissappointments! That has a lot to do with going through a bad day! I wish I had my own time to find the person I want to share and spend my life with. Why does everything have to get complicated when you grow up? To all the girls out there, it's best you find your better half than leaving your choice to your parents. Atleast you do not have to go through so much ordeal, whether the groom's family liked you or not, or whether the horoscopes matched or not? People find so many reasons to say no to you, it could be your qualifications or lack of a masters degree, or it could be your height and weight, or it could be the way you smile, or it could be because you have short hair. Why do I have to go through this? No one has the right to judge me! No one's perfect!

What should I be writing about?

I am still pondering over the idea of what to write about. My foodie partner(who is literally next door with her blog and a good one with all the yummy yummy pictures and descriptions of food) suggested I start writing on movies and music. Should I or should I not? What am I passionate about? Mmm...shopping :D well every girl is...hmmm lets see what else...music, cleaning (don't get freaked out, I cannot help it, I love cleaning...putting on your old sweats, tying your hair back with a bandana, a broom in one hand and duster in the other...I do make a picture of a warrior except there are no guns or knives). Coming back to the topic what should I be writing on....there are various ranges of topics out there and so hard for me to choose. Hopefully, by end of this week I shall finalise my decision and kickstart my blog.
