Being
single in India is challenging. It is a crime if you turn 25-26 as you are
expected to get married before you touch 25 and become a mother at least by 30.
Many elders (read morons) here decide the fertility rate of every woman.
They start their requests for kids from day 1 of marriage. Some think
delivering a kid is as easy as getting a chips packet from vending machine! I
know I am getting drifted away from the topic. I can write a lot on the
"being single" scenario in India. But for now I want to narrate an
incident from my own life.
I used to
have lunch with a group of colleagues in the office pantry some 3 years back.
Half of them were married and a quarter of them were engaged and another
quarter of them were committed to get married (hopefully to the same person). The conversation started something
like below.
