finally - a sensible answer!

So. A friend of mine and I were just talking, over facebook, about how many people we know are getting married or engaged or something, in this year to come. Well congratulations to them!

But it sucks for us. You know, the remainder of us. Us who are not even close to think that we might want to get engaged - let alone married.

Because living in the Indian society when you are a 24 year or older girl and not married - there can only be three explanations -
1) There is something wrong with you. This could mean appearance.
2) There is something wrong with you. Which basically means you are a lesbian.
3) There is something wrong with your history, hence no respectable Indian family would want their respectable son to marry you.

And I am sorry but screw that! I don't buy all of that. You don't need to get married just to prove all of the above wrong. Take your time. Build your career. Live your life and then marry because you want to. Because they are your best friend and you are ready for that next great adventure. Not because you are worried about what people will say about your family.

Now, strangely enough, quite a few modern day Indian kids feel the way I do. But they are still getting married left right and center. And that was when I sort of ran out of theories. And then the friend I was talking to, came up with a brilliant one. I really believe this.

Conclusive theory:
It's global warming. People are trying to pair up before the polar ice caps melt and we all drown.
