Marriage Blurs and blues

It was my birthday yesterday. That time of the year when you look back and wonder - how the hell did I grow up? I was trying so hard to avoid this!

And then, the sense of humour life has, I get an email that chills my very soul.



In case, you are having trouble figuring out what I am talking about, let me help you.


Yes, dear ones, after months of suspicion that my parents have my profile set up on Bharat Matrimony, there was proof staring me in the face. Apparently, all the vehement refusals to marry fell on deaf ears. I didn't have time to ponder over poor blokes who'd be traumatized for life after meeting me. I was wallowing in the depression of having to deal with rishtas, muhh dikhai, chai, kanda pohe and the whole sha-bang (At this point I just left and went and ate a whole chocolate excess pastry, I needed the endorphins).

When I came back then I opened the mail. This is what I saw:



There were 51 different matches for my profile and they were ALL WOMEN!
It’s real heartening to know that my parents think I am a lesbian (Where's the rest of that chocolate excess?)

Edit: After calming my nerves, I investigated and have to come to know that there is dude ou there with the same email as me – except his has a dot in the id that just about every website omits. I realized it’s the same chap whose bank statements kept coming to me till I threatened to empty his entire bank account the next time I got his bank statement in my email.

Unfortunately, he took me seriously. Pity, I could have done so much with the extra cash.
