Get a life!

I had written this one when I was single. Now  I am happily married, but I still feel for the people who  have to face the society and answer for their relationship/ marital status on a daily basis.

 This one is for anyone who is feeling low due to societal/ familial pressure to get married.

Dear Society,

I am furious!! And not just at one person but with society at large. With every single person who asks me one particular question.

I get messages and calls from distant relatives, friends, friends of friends, old office mates  and some people  ask me in person too, the most dreaded question—‘When am I getting married?’
 Hi, how are you? How is it going? Takes to too much of time. Jump to the hot topic of discussion—Shaadi kab kar rhi, umar ho rhi teri!!
Below is one discussion I had with an acquaintance recently—
A:Hi
Me: Typing..(Even before I could respond)
A: Shaadi fix hui?
Me: Lol..Nhi abhitak.
A: Arre tumko neend kaise aati hai, shaadi nhi hui abhitak
Me: Acchi aati hai neend. Pure 9 ghante soti hu :p
A: Dhundo koi toh. Nahi toh baad mai pregnancy mai problem hoti hai.
Me: Ok (Thinking—Inko mere bacche ki chinta hai jaise ki agar maine shadi ki toh mujhe bahubali hi paida karna hai)
A: Compromise karlo kidhar toh bhi
Me: Ok (Thinking--Jaise aapne kiya :p)
This is just one of the many discussions I have with different people. Office, friends, relatives!!!!!

What amazes me is the fact that these people are the so called educated and sophisticated folks. In my case, I have experienced bombardment of questions from people who are so older to me yet have a pea sized maturity. Good thing is there are kind hearted people too and they form the major chunk of society. I m blessed that I don’t have familial pressure in addition to societal pressure.

 My family is too supportive in this aspect.
I m sure many girls and for that matter boys too who are single and in my age group will relate with my plight. Why the hell is the society so concerned about marriage? The simple explanation is because they are people and they will have something to say at every stages of your life and poke their big noses into lives of others.

Many people give in to societal pressures and end up making a mistake and that too a grave one! And folks, regret is bad!
To all the people who are struggling to find love and are facing wrath of society, Stay strong and ignore such people. They have miserable lives. Don’t marry until you find someone worth spending your life with.

Marriage is not an ultimate thing. Gone are those days. Marriage sure is an important thing, but it should not be for all the wrong reasons. Finding love is painful and difficult and blessed are those who get love early in life.

And I have only one thing to say to all those who ask me this question. Guys, PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER AND GET A LIFE!!! I am sure there are many better things to do in life than focusing on me and my marital status. And if you still can’t get over it then you sure need a therapy. 

Regards,
Single Girl.
