So all my girls are gettin married- Sharrus, Mari and Nats. As the potential lone bachelorette for yrs to come, i hv my thots on that. I would like to be married too. (yh, dats rt, cut out those weird luks, im gonna be embarassing myself further) Unlike most other girls, i hv bn comfortable with the idea of gettin married since i ws umm...probably 22. Thats cos i like the idea of gettin out every day to do my work and general discovery business and then come bck home evry nite to smbdy familiar whos likeable and unannoying with whom i cn shamelessly be my unadulterated self with. Nw kp al of dis aside, cos wen i say i wanna get married here, dis is not wt im referring to.
Its funny hw bck in college i was always the one for not wearing the same kinda clothes or doing the same hairstyle cos it violates my sense of individuality and yet somehow i always managed to luk like everybdy else. And now i want 'the husband', this latest accessory that they r all gonna be sporting and..
Its nt even that this new piece wud even serve too much of a purpose. Most times, i'll jst leave it back home, so dat i can play with my dog or watch a movie or smtin. But wen we r all hanging out and ppl ask dem, "hey, whr did u get dat frm?" and Shar says "I got it online really, but i had my eyeon it fr ages" n Nats says "my parents bought it for me and for once they got my taste rt!", i dont wanna hang around n go" hey, hw cm i nevr got 1 of these?? r dey der in delhi to? nvr saw one.."
If i really lower my standards its all quite possible. All i have to do is say yes to one of those pics dad sends me, even if its a white unniyappam of a guy who is posing photogenically as if hes auditioning fr a mallu sop, who wud probably thnk hes doin the world a favor if he marries a non-virgin.
But i really cant do that, can i?
Even if my dad were to relentlessly force me to consider some fellow who seems like an ideal candidate cos his jathakam(kundali) matches mine, even if he were to ask me why i think i deserve any better, even if he endlessly repeats his "post-25 downhill hubby prospects for women" theory a 100 times, even if all my all my accessorising problems wud go away, i would rather not. i wud much rather tell dad to go marry unniyappam himself. dey wl make a great pair.
Cos at the end of the day, im only almost 24 and i didnot successfully survive a heart break n sustain myself on fruits n vegetables fr many months and shed al dat cellulite so that i can go get myslf sm discount sale accessory.
