There I was having a nice conversation over coffee at Mochas when suddenly out of the blue, my friends decided that we should all get married on January 2009. Lest your imaginations run wild, let me state that we were not planning on a wild orgy or a Draupadi copycat, but generally about the fact that we would get married on the same date to our respective sweethearts on the same day.
We worked out the cost per family, discussed on the venue, menu, the riti riwazases
to be followed etc etc etc. We also decided that now would be a good time to inform
our families about it so that they can start their planning well, really well in advance.
Now that all is planned, I have decided to start planning accordingly. Planning is nowadays my favourite word courtesy my friend Ashish who likes to plan everything, but somehow never manages to do so. To get back to it, I have started ‘planning’ for January 2009. There are a lot of things to do. First in the list is finding a guy to get married to. Now don’t get me wrong I do meet lots of guys but they are either too tall, too short, too fat, too thin, too serious, too crazy, too unambitious, too ambitious, too sensitive, too insensitive, too cynical or too optimistic to suit my taste. C’mon guys haven’t you heard of moderation??? Be a little of everything achcha hai…
Coming back to it I am now on a hunt for Mr Right, well he doesn’t exactly have to be Mr Right but he should at least be more than a Mr Ok. The trouble is all the good guys are already taken, guess I started on this search too late in life. Now if you are looking for a point to this article, there really isn’t one, it’s just something I am writing coz I am taking a break from work. But hey if there is a guy around, what the hell, there is no harm trying your luck is there?
Now I am a fervent believer in the ‘when the right guy comes along I’ll know dictum’, so if any of you are interested in applying for the Mr Right post, you can stand in the stations between Mahim and Churchgate -- when I see u ill know. Your deadline is December 2008. The rest, if you know a good psychiatrist post his name and number on this blog, after re-reading this article I think I am in severe need of one. J
