Vivah- Ek Anokha" Bandhan"

In the last 15 days two people I was close to have got hooked for marriage matlab D day has been finalised . when I look at both cases both had a different approach and methodology in reaching this spot but what is strikingly similar is the reaction . Ek bhai hamara bilkul sant , ghar walo ne theek kar diya bande de kudi dekhi, kudi janch gayi sab final, aajkal phone pe lage rahte hain, bandhu ne too aajkal dhirubhai phone bhi kharid liya dedicated for "special purpose". Doosre bandhu stud the cool dude, the achiever with a long list of girls crooning over him. In bhai ne ladki dekhi groom ki ghar walo ko case forward kiya with a strong recommendation and bang the case is closed. Mujhe dono ne daaru pilayi that too single malt isliye my good wishes with both of them..

I am also under tremendous pressure to get married as I am fastly approaching the end of my best buy data and am about to complete the shelf life of bachelorhood. I asked both of them "doston how did you to know that its the time and you were ready to take the plunge" i swear I have never seen a more devilish and wicked smile in my life which came on both their faces when they replied bete sab pata chal jayega...I thought why this fuss about getting married I just tried to think ki kya change aayega..
Marriage will mean:
- planned expenditure, no longer just buying a bino costing 4 k
-no daaru daily, not even bi weekly, shayad week me ek din izazat mil jayegi
- going on shopping to buy matching curtains , doormat bed sheet -eeks
- no night out drinking with the boys
-being more sensitive ( I am yet to figure out what it means)
- savings , insurance and ....

So its not that hard I can do it but still the basic requirement is a girl and since all my 50 + attempts on different girls have been futile i have do it the losers way ghar wale dhoond denge. My sister suggested that we should run a classified add which says Male, short/dark/ unhandsome , insensitive can kill if disturbed and woken up against wish , mere doston ne bhi kahan hai they will suggest any girl "jisko mere jaisa banda chalta hai" . I am yet to decide mentally ki kya main ghar grihasthi ki gaddi chalane ko ready hoon..

So as my parents start the bahu finding mission am yet to come to terms with the reality

Recession- My interpretations!!!!


All papers , financial dailies news channel every self proclaimed analysts have painted the world red with the theories on recession. All are ga ga about How each one of them have so correctly predicted it sometimes back . I think I along with many other "layman" types were not so wise enough to read into thy wise souls..

I bought the story of we being very fundamentally secure and nothing can go wrong and the market is headed to 25-30 k levels (I don't know who these people were can't be same as the ones who predicted the downfall) so I jumped in with all might and the result was similar to "chandni chowk to china".. I invested whatever I have saved in to stocks , MF and the rest is history:-(

Recession and bad times have become the most lovable excuses , the height was when my bai din't turn up yesterday so I asked her the next day . She replied ki "Bahut kharab samay chal raha hai economy me , mujhe bahut tension hai"

My dad checked with me did you save the money for your income tax I said no "Its bad time".

My sis asked why are you almost drinking every other day, I said " Recession hai"

My two subordinates asked - promotion bonus ka kya scene hai I said "Bhaiya recession hai"

My boss said , why are you not working the lazy ass I said boss Recession hai...

Mamohan singh asked the Pak PM ki aap kuch karte kyon nahin to unhone bhi jawab diya recession hai...

Some things where it has helped me a lot is this time dad din't ask me ki tumhari tax savings kyon nahi hui , neither did he ask why am i not repaying my edu loan... My mom has stopped bothering me to get married she is not sure but damn confident ki main ghar grishthi ki gaadi nahi chala sakta.
