The fag end of 20s

is not a good time to be a single Indian woman. Because everyone you know, just met or will meet will ask the dreaded M word, “So when are you getting married?”.

The worse are the ones who say, “When are you settling down?” What exactly do you mean by that, really. I am well settled in my life, thank you very much. And ones who ominously say, “Beta time nikal jageya.” Then I’ll just live with my four cats, okay?

Its not that I am averse to the idea of getting married but asking me to meet men for the sole purpose of getting married. That’s scary. Let’s meet for a date first and see how it goes.

But anyone reading this blog (or rather the two and a half people who read my blog), have you been able to figure out the Indian/Delhi dating jungle? How do you meet people socially? I understand those who find partners at university or work place or through friends or relatives. What about the rest?

Also my apologies again, to the two and a half readers for disappearing and not commenting/posting. Since the past few months, I have been traveling the length and breath of this country for work and literally living out of a suitcase.

  1. as they say here … Herzlich Willkommen im Klub (Welcome to the Club) :P

  2. Are you in the same boat, my friend? :)

  3. hahhahaha ….. yeah, I have been long a member of that club :)

  4. Can relate to the post. And with two more college buddies getting married this month, it is not going to help matters at home:P In fact i have started to dread going to weddings/engagement parties of my relatives, as i am the target of many such, “So, when are you getting married?” type of questions. Honestly i have no clue as to how to tackle that question, and that does not help at all when people are quick to give suggestions. Dilemmas galore:)

  5. Et tu, TD! Ditto same here – two weddings this month. What is this world coming to? :)

  6. P.S: Looking at the time of your comment – Insomnia?
