Shaadi

Atlast it's here! The talks about my marriage have started to surface at home. My parents feel that this is the apt age (I'll be turning 24 in exaclty a month's time!) for a boy to be married off. Their stand is a bit different from the 'No marriage until you...' kind of thing that I hear around me. But somehow I felt very odd to face this particular situation, when they ask me of what plans I have for my marriage. In fact they had a proposal at hand and asked me if it was ok. I said - not yet! I was surprised to some extent that my parents have the feeling of me having settled down to an extent that I am ready for marriage. But still, when do I get the feeling of being ready for marriage?? I do not know. And I may not have the feeling of having settled (from you career point of view, to be specific) even in my 30.

Nevertheless,I do not feel I am ready to tie the nuptial knots yet, so I have asked my parents to wait for atleast two years from now or until I tell them. Meanwhile I must also investigate if my brother is conspiring in this matter- to have 'his route cleared'. Looks like there must be a strong possibility of that here!
