Shaadi Ka Laddoo

I got married recently.

Being married feels nice. For some reason , the random population around tends to give you enormous respect. Respect that was so unjustly denied to you when you went around rallying for human rights or donated blood in some shady camp or for that matter when you raised funds worth a fortune for a bizzare event that your college was supposed to host, single-handedly.

Now, you just need to sport a Mangalsootra and anyone with ears is willing to take your advice. I surely am enjoying this sudden importance given to the words that I manage to manufacture in my cranium which has for long,longed for such irrational adulation.

Then there are these parties that you get to attend. Free food, nodding heads and expensive gifts .......all because you are married and it is nice to give you something free when you have just tied the knot.

These parties also include some elderly gentleman discussing his days with you. He is often kind enough to warn you of what mistakes you are bound to make as a newly wed couple.
You also get to brush up your literature as there certainly will be at least 5 quotable quotes that would be shared with you during such meets. Most will talk about marriage and the stupidity associated with it. Some emotional individuals tend to quote tear jerking quotes about the importance of Love.

It is important for you to attend at least 108 such parties . It is important that you and your partner get healthy food now and then as your personal cooking is going to be disastrous for the first few months and it is not always nice to eat burnt food.Also, you need to listen to all that is being told as at some point in the future you will be playing hosts to some random couples.

There is so much more....But one's creativity tends to run at all time low after marriage and hence one might not be able to express everything in one blog entry at 3.04 PM in the middle of wondering what to wear for the party this evening.

So thats that for now..

Jai Hind :)
