Unsettlingly Settled

YES and NO.......

Yes- I do plan to get married eventually

No- There is no one special in my life right now....

How many times do I need to answer these questions...If I charged a dollar for everytime I answered this question, I would probably have a swiss bank account by now...

Hell we r perpetually in this transition state- it is cool to venture out of homes and do professional courses and take up jobs with big corporate names and live independently...Great- but then after 2-3-4 years of working life suddenly there is this age old custom that comes back to haunt us-Good Girls get married and settle down- settle down to what?? Microsoft Word gives the meaning of " settle down" as the following- Calm Down, Relax, Quiet Down, Become Less Restless, snuggle down, slow down,take it easy......Well Well Well I am doing all of the above happily-thank you very much:)
I am as calm and comfortable as it gets-gosh i havent even changed jobs since the last 2 years....I party, I enjoy, I read, I sleep and I also work:) so how does one figure out that I am unsettled in anyway??

So the transition phase that I am talking about is our Urban India- We have evolved into knowledge workers, understand the value of making quick bucks in a fast forward mode, dream of hitting billions(USD)( in our bank accounts) before we are forty , know more about what is happening in US economy than India- and yet getting flats for tenancy for single women is still a problem, live-in relationships are unheard of except in Bombay( all those who say Bangalore is upto par please call me up for further discussions) divorce is a bad word....and Marraige is the ultimate path to Nirvana.....

I agree sharing ur life with someone u love, having a happy family is a beautiful thing-But let me decide on how I want to achieve this beautiful thing.

I know my grandmom was a mother of 2 at my age, but her life and times were different. So why compare 2 variables??

And for God's sake stop putting these questions to my Mom- Talk to me:)
