Questions, Questions, & More Questions..

Lately, I have been observing a pattern. A weird pattern! A pattern of questions.. questions that now am started to get sick of! These questions are put not just to me but many of my girl pals who are around my age. Also, people asking these questions are not our family. But neighbors, accquitances, first time meetings friends, friends not including close ones, guys, old aunties...in short its just "OTHERS" for me..

So this is how a conversation on online chats or personal meetings turns out to be...

Others: Hi, Where r u?
Me:      Hey!, Hi... M out of country
Others: Oh! when r u back?
Me:      Not Sure
Others: Aur shaadi kabh kar rahi ho? ( so when are u getting married?)
Me:      Patha Nahi (i donno)
Others: Kyon? Ladka nahi dekha kya? ( Why? have u not seen a guy yet?)
Me:      Nahi (No)
Others: Accha! tou tumhara future ka kya plan hai? ( Okay! so what are your plans for the future)
Me:      Mein kuch plan nahi karti (I dont plan anything)
Others: Oh! gud.
Me:      yup!
Others: So.. tum shaadi India mein karogi ya bahar? (So.. will u get married in India or abroad?)
Me:      I donno.  Haven't thought about it.
Others: gud. But kya tumhe india accha nahi lagta?? ( Oh good.. but is it that u dont like india)
Me:     Aisa kuch nahi hai. Mein holiday pe hoon. (Ther's nothing like that.. M on a holiday ya.. )
Others: Ok. Shaadi pe bulaogi na... (ok. U will invite for ur wedding na?)
Me:      GTG. Will catch up later. :) Ciao...
Others: okay!

Sigh! I hope you got my point... "sulk" :)

The big "M". As if gurls grew up only to get themselves eligible for that big "M". Its not like i do not believe in the consitution of marriage or am against it. Its just that, everything has a time and for many the time may be not as per normal usual practices. Dear people, please give gurls their desired space and time. Especially when their families are there to do all the worrying for them.. :P

I am sure many gurls my age or elder have gone through these series of questions. At least i know of many. What's even more hilarious is the extent of wanting to know when is the wedding...despite trying to fool us by asking random trivial questions..which even we know is not the real question or intention..its all coming back to just that one question..

The best is being asked these annoying set of questions in the same set manner by guys our age.. WOW!

Its funny how the questions have not changed much over a period of time.

Some 7-8 yrs back, the questions asked were:

Others: Hi.. u busy?
Me:      Hi, No tell me...
Others: How r u?
Me:      M good. Hw r u?
Others: Hw's life?
Me:      Fine
Others: Which college? wht u studying?
Me:       XYZ college.. abc subjects
Others: oh cool! So what plans?
Me:      Thanks! nothing yet.
Others: Bfs?
Me:      No.
Others: Hw's it possible?
Me:      Is it important?
Others: Was just wondering hw can u not hv at-least 1..
Me:      OKAY!!!!... well, i gtg.. bye!

LOL... the questions almost remain the same....

so long... :)
