Mid-life Crisis

Life like a train keeps moving. In our childhood we live in the hallucination that life runs smooth, just as a train moves swiftly. As we grow up we realize that trains also face accidents, the interlude of sorrows in life is an analogy to the former. As you grow up, the complexities in life creep in! It is no more a comfy sofa or a bed of roses. You face different sort of challenges in life on a daily basis. Although, the grass is always greener on the other side! It is not just about surviving, instead it’s about living your life- The most precious gift! The tag line of a TV commercial is true to the core- “Break toh Banta hain”.

Analysis of Relatives

A marriage is a relationship between a man and a woman.

Contrary- Marriage is an event, where the connected ones are summoned from the different corners of the world to celebrate the union of two souls and in India union of two families.

Relatives- Those with whom you have blood relations.

Contrary- A set of vague people only available, either when you are Excelling or when you are all Drawn.

Relatives play a very influencing role in our lives. If you have a good set of relatives then you will grow into a smiling man and if you have an intruder set of relative who keeps interfering, then you will grow into a man with skeptical personality, you will reckon danger and fear before every new Endeavour you make.

Relatives: Good Side

“Arun uncle’s son has just completed his MS from USA,” she told my mom, looking at me from the corner of her eye, implying something that I was too dumb to understand. “I also have his photo, handsome he is, you want to see, Priya?” she said, smiling very mischievously at me.

Why would I want to see his picture? Every family has that one aunty that plays cupid, or matchmaker or whatever you wanna call her. Pammi aunty, let’s call her. They are very proud, with an ego the size of Australia. If you reject the offer they bring, you have to face their wrath. My mother, the God fearing, simple lady that she is, asked for his photo.

The next day, as I was eating my upma, my favourite evening snack after I came home from college, my mom placed a photo on the dining table. When was the last time you saw a photo. I mean a photo-photo, not a jpeg, but a hard copy.

The picture was of a boy wearing a blue shirt and black pants standing in front of the bull (Wall Street, is it?)

“So, do you like him?” she asked.
