Big brotha's wedding coming up in 2days...
so household's been in a predictable redecorating/entertaining/celebrating frenzy for the past month..family junta from around the globe have been coming in all week..have gotten used to the idea of privacy and space being a vague,distant memory..atleast for now..
been great fun so far..music and dancing and late night chatter..sometimes cliche' does have a certain appeal..and there's never a shortage of entertainment
speaking of entertainment,something about these weddings tends to give people you barely recognise the idea that they're somehow responsible for your future and seeing you 'settled' and dispatched into the world of domestic bliss with some 'nice boy'who's a doctor/engineer/corporate bigwig from"____"(fill in city of choice from Bheemawaram to Boston) who happens to be just the perfect person for you(on what grounds,God only knows) Try suggesting that as much as you appreciate the interest they're taking, settling down aint on the cards anytime in the near future and you'll invite honestly bewildered looks and dire warnings about your reducing shelf life(noone's ever made me feel more like a jar of mayo before) and out of control biological clocks after age 24..(uhoh!certainly running outta time aren't we..Dang it!) Have scruplously resisted the impulse to slug/scratch/knee in the groin, any of these rather pesky relatives so far..full marks for good behaviour,what say? hopefully the patience will hold up thru' the rest of the week
