Notes from Brief Home Visit!

I wanted to post this blog last week but then just couldn’t get time to write 😟

And trust me I have not been slacking but past few weeks have been a complete whirlwind with work, being sick, Delhi visit, again being sick and then snowed down with work with yet another weekend away coming up in Dublin to see a good friend!

Anyway, I thought why not share a brilliant (sic!) conversation I had with mom and few friends/relatives back home (which is infact a case pretty much on all phone calls and home visits!)

Day 1 landed in Delhi: Mom and I

Mom: You been okay?

Me: Yes mom, I am fine. 

Mom (after 5 min of general chit-chat about work): Are you ever going to get married?

Me: You know I want to but before that you need to find me the right guy!

Mom: But you don’t like anyone I send you details of…huhh

Me: Because I don’t find anyone interesting 

Mom: you are too fussy…

Me: I am not fussy…if other side don’t like me, not my fault!

Mom: No, it’s you who is fussy…

Me: Whatever

Day 2: Maternal Grandparents and uncle’s house

Nan/Uncle: Are you ever going to get married?

Me : Arghhh…find me half decent guy and I will…

Nan/Uncle: Hmmmmm

Nan (an hour later): Get married soonnnn

Me: Grrrrrrrrrr, I just replied to your same question

Day 4: A call from a friend

Friend: How are things with you?

Me; All good…thanks!

Friend: Let’s catch up sometime if you are free?

Me: yeah..sure may be in a day or 2 days’ time?

Friend: Yeah. Good! So when are you getting married? You ought to have a boyfriend, why delay?

Me: Arghhh…well if I had a boyfriend, I would have….why don’t you find me one please and I will?

Friend: Hard to trust but anyway I don’t have any single friends to introduce you to….

Me: Okay

Friend (after 10 min random chit chat): You should get married now…

I (pulling my hair, rolling eye and being agitated now): hmmm

Day before leaving Delhi: Mom again

Mom: Beta, high time – you should settle down now

Me; for god sake, not again please….arghhh!

The only person who didn’t bother asking anything was the little nephew….my lovely 5 year old baby boy! Just happy with his aunt around and playing/spending time with her! Unconditional love and kisses from him!

How much I love these settling down conversations - JOYS OF BEING SINGLE!

Sigh
