Is the whole world but me getting married?

Not that I am in any kind of a hurry or so, but somehow I have started getting the feeling that everyone in this world is getting married but for me.

Ever since the final year of engineering, I have been hearing things like

* He got married last month..
* She has her marriage next month..
* They got engaged...
* Because she had an affair, her parents married her off...
* She had a kid...
* He became a dad...
* Even to the extent that she had her second baby a month back!!! :-O

Huh... Sometimes it goes to this level that maybe just to avoid getting irritated by such news, I wonder if I should ask the next female that I'd meet on the road to marry me.

I re-iterate that though this may sound like I am some kind of a psychotic desperate guy.

But I am not. Seriously, I am not.

It is simply because somehow I hate getting bugged by such stupid things.

And being the youngest or almost the youngest in the group of people around you does not help.

Yes. I have normally been the youngest in our school batch, college friends group, training batchmates, project mates, roommates, colleagues, etc.

The situation was so strange at a few times that I had people, elder to me, reporting to me as well, in a project.

In my immediate family, I am the eldest amongst my generation.
But a way down in the group of cousins.

So there is literally a herd of eligible bachelors/bachelorettes in the form of school friends, college friends, office friends, cousins who are in queue.

Being single also does not help. Atleast I think these things could have bugged a bit less if you atleast know whom u r marrying.

Right now, within a flash, I can think of atleast five people who are getting married in the very near future.

Anytime, I call up my relatives, they would always ask me,

"So when are you coming back to India?"
"Should we start looking for our daughter-in-law?"

That reminds me of a very common joke. One of those which you get in the mail forwards.

At weddings, old aunties would come up to me and poke a finger in my ribs and tease me saying " You are the next!!!".

They stopped doing so when I started doing the same to them at funerals.

Anyways, this is not some kind of frustration that I have because I am single or so.

Abhi to meri umr hi kya hai??? :-P

Abhi to mere khelne-kudne ki din hai..

Otherwise, I know that marriage would probably be the single most important decision that I'd take in my life.

And hence, am in no rush to take any decision on this.

Would prefer allowing things to take their own course.

Afterall, I don't keep telling the following to others for nothing.

Aakhir meri biwi achhi nahi hogi, to kiski hogi??? :-)
