Notions

Love is in the air....everywhere. Courtship season is coming to an end.... time to get promoted.... to climb up the ladder of commitment and say those strong words "I do!" Shower of blessings from everyone and heart felt good wishes for happy and prosperous marital life. A season of change to remember for life time... for most of my pals back home:)

Scene is totally different for my friends here in the other part of the world.... Love is no where to be seen.... bunch of folks saying, "Yaar, kitna mushkil hein to find 'The one'.... there is a drought of nice guys/gals here in the US... if they exist, then they are already taken or married!!!" Every single person I have met here, has said this at least once.... And, let me not miss to add.... I agree to this ALWAYS.

Recently I came to know that people expected certain things from me and think that I am kinda person who must be into something from some time with 'some one' for sure and if I said anything else deviating from this fact, it was totally false. A few days back while I was chatting with a friend, she threw this question "So who is it?" and she was sure about the existence of that particular 'who' though she dint know who that who was! Learning that I have no one as such she said "I can't believe that you went to US for studies and did just that - studies!!!" Now, is that supposed to be a compliment because that gave a notion that all I did was study or was she sympathizing me because I had/have no one or did I ever give an impression that I am a gal who cant be unassociated with anyone?!!! I had not recovered from this so-called casual conversation with her about what-am-I-doing-here topic, my all-I-want-is-your-happiness aunt tossed the same question in somewhat different way "helamma parvagilla yaradu antha.... naanu oppisthini nim ammanna" (it's OK tell me who it is.... I will talk to your mom and convince her) It was not going to stop there.... couple of more friends, out of blue, met me online for chatting and shot the same question! Was it just a coincidence or did they all happen to meet up together somewhere under the sky and spoke about me???

Whatever it is... I got a reputation to maintain.... a tough one, that too :|
