Dang!Do i feel old!!
It was really cool to be single during the late teens and the early twenties cause it was 'daring' to be different and 'original'.And who had time for imbecilic/chauvinistic/boring guys anyways?!
But now that all my cousins are taking the bullet one by one, it no longer feels cool and man do i tend to feel left out?!
And recurring dreams about 'the bald one', 'the fat one' and 'the divorced one' being the only ones out there for me to pick from doesn't sit well with me......not that i have anything against those...just that when one dreams of prince charming they don't really imagine them with a paunch or receding hairlines!
Well anyways...i can't believe this but i've succumbed to some bullying and emotional blackmailing from the elders in the family and have agreed for some 'arranging'....ie) seriously consider some eligible bachelors from some good rishtay.....i wonder what's in store for me?!!
I really am going to miss the days when all of us (cousins) would organize a trip somewhere together, spend eid together, go out for late night suppers, talk crap, watch reruns of star wars, reminicse about the good old times when we lived as joint family, all those kiddie games we played, weekends at the beach.......ah well.....
Next time this year we are gonna have tons of 'new people' in the family...all the new spouses we have to tolerate :)!
Sigh.....I wish we were kids all over again......
