long gone friends...
Its funny how time & marriage change people. A get together with a couple of friends was something that I was looking forward to-little realizing that I would come back with such a glum face. The conversation was completely alien to me, revolving around the kids education & the rising prices of diapers. The male halfs just talked about how expensive it is getting to raise a kid. Well, obviously if your three year old is wearing nothing less than Nike & Tommy kid, what do you expect? But then image is important too. A 13 month old who can’t even walk is wearing gap kids shoes…image…hello??? I look around; fake a smile hoping my other single friends come soon. The Martians descide to go & watch football. I sigh with relief…thank god the conversation just might make more sense now. Little do I know its going to be a complete bitching session about how mum in laws interfere, how grocery shopping is more convenient at Aghas & how much the females get dressed to go and pick their kids from the play school.
Normal talk, but not for me. What happened to all the movie, cosmetics, eating and shopping discussions? More bitching about the in laws. (Needless to say they all have wonderful in laws & that too is an issue in itself). Eyes suddenly turn to me-questioning. I smile, again fakely. All three bombard…when do I plan to tie the knot? Afterall this trashy talk, thank you, I just might not think about marriage for a while. Food is laid, eaten. I cant wait for it to get over. Two hours start to seem a bit too much. The same gang with whom two hours were two minutes.
I wonder what exactly marriage does to you. I leave, smile with the air of independence that I inhale. Pray to God silently…sometime down the lane please don’t let me be one of them, I don’t want to just complain, complain and then complain more! Goodluck to me. And once again I feel lucky to be single and living!
