SWAYAMVAR

Of late, My Mother has been worried and also active! Now, when does anyone get affected with the mentioned symptoms? Is it some sort of stress disorder? Some Allopathy side effects? Some Homeopathic  bullshit? Menopause? Wait! Maybe, it's the Venkatachalapathy effect!

Well! That wasn't the case! 

She's been on the hunt for some girls! 

I was shaken! 

"Amma? I am off to Hyderabad only! It's not 'bad', ok!! Rombo over ah illa??"

Now, she was shocked!

"I am not searching for you Eruma Madu! Chi Kalambu!"

Now I was disappointed. 

Cha! WTK?

You don't want your parents to fiddle around with your personal life! It's just not cool. But, when you find out that they aren't actually bothered about it, you get the creeps! You begin to wonder....


A slap on the face! My intellect intervened! Life's is not always about you! So, just shut up and analyse!


So I did! Many of my relatives did not get alliances! To be exact, 3 of them are above 30! In India, if you are above 30 and single, it's literally a pain in the ass. These 'righteous' men chose not to flout the 'society norms'. Well either they were really unlucky, and would not have gotten anywhere, irrespective of the ethics behind it. Or, maybe an epiphany awaits them! Either way, it's a misery! A misery, which would haunt them for the rest of their lives! 

I obviously would have a biased opinion on my uncles. But, what does the world want? Usually, when the elders look for the alliance, they'd look at many relevant and important factors! 

Unfortunately, today, to some of our brothers and sisters, what's important is:

1. Astrological Match (It's apparently still relevant today)
2. Bank Account Balance of the Groom.
3. Job Security
4. An Individual House
5. Looks

I am not generalizing anything! The above points are peculiar yet special cases! It would definitely, one day, become general cases! The future is indeed gloom. 

So, am I worried about myself? Did I make any mistakes by not finding my soul mate in school or college? 

Well, I still have 4 months of my college life left! :P :P Maybe, I should find someone.

Or, Maybe, I should let the 'norms' take the course! But, the problem is, 'Maybe'

Will We win the Swayamvar? 

Let the battle begin. 


Where's My Sita?

    @Gopikaa Ramanan -> The match will happen, when it has to! No worries there! It's just weird that I actually did not want to sound 'needy', but, everyone construed it that way! :)

    Nevertheless, another learning curve!

No Tea, only Chaos

Cult following is something that only the adherent can understand!  One such person I admire is Preeti Shenoy!  Here's the link to her blog! http://justamotheroftwo.blogspot.in Here is the banner for her latest work! You can preorder it at flipcart! Anyways, here is this Tuesday's Meme! "The table is set perfectly, for 'tea for two'. (and the piece of cake is ready too).  I am really looking forward to this. There is still a good half an hour left for my guest to arrive as per the  text  I just got. Suddenly the door bell rings....... Has she come already? Damn! What an artifice! Once in a blue moon do I clean my house, and the Gods didn't like it one bit! So I thought. ' This is not what we expect from you my child. You are expected to be surrounded by filth'  Well, sooner she found out my chaos, the better I thought. Hesitatingly, I rushed to the door! Well, it was some random guy. 'T

Why are good students 'Engineers'?

After 10th, my parents had decided to put me in a boarding school. I was immensely exited, and the thought of independence, overhauled my career objectives. I was good in Maths, and Physics excited me. So, quite naturally, I ended up taking the Science stream. After successfully completing 12th Standard in 2008, like thousand others across India, I had only 1 choice - Take up Engineering! Pretty obvious, isn't it? I ended up taking ECE of course, in the prestigious College of Engineering, Guindy. But, I wasn't intimidated in doing so, like many of my friends. I truly believed that my interest lied in Electronics, and I could create an impact in that field. Here's where the problem started. The teachers had always played an important role in my schooling days. I would attribute my interests to them. But, in college, teaching was utterly gruesome. I can confidently say that, irrespective of the branch, the first 2 years of Engineering, is most important. When weight

The K.I.S.S Moment

Joyfulness. Bliss. Stress free. Beauty. Love. Peace. All of us long for the above. In all our pursuits, we finally want to be happy. The journey of life is to unwrap this gift happiness that lies somewhere. But, where is it? With my girl friend? With my grades? With my 6 digit income? Does it lie in our hands? Is there a guide who can reveal this secret to us? Do we need a guide who can show us the path? When does it happen? Has it happened already? Do we experience it every day or once a week or now and then? Can it be scheduled? Is it spontaneous? Is it something gross or tangible? Is it a subtle emotion? Is it an emotion? Can it be taught? They and many other queries arose in me. The thing that bamboozles me the most is the fact that irrespective of what we do in our lives, one fine day, the appointed time does arrive. Yes, it’s the stipulated time to face Lord Yama. He doesn't spare anybody. You may have all the wealth known
