The whole marriage issue

Its our culture they'd say...but it gets exasperating if every one u meet feels the need to ask u "when r u getting married??" and some younger ones hav even gone ahead and said in what came out to be a very suspicious tone- "why aren’t u married yet???". I had this theory that people who have not found bliss in marriage (and I have not found 1 who has, so this means every1 who is married) keep wanting to push u towards it...why?? Here r some possible reasons running at the top of my head- 1. Coz it would make them feel better that there r others like them? 2. Coz they would not be envying u and there by easier to open up to?? 3. Or coz their silly romantic heart says "maybe its gonna be different for her??" Elders r the most difficult to evade on this, will draw u into a discussion on hw difficult it wud be to live alone and etc etc..and after moments of trying to remain out of it and feign interest and even agreement I give in.....and there goes another argument which ends with the person saying "Dont know what’s gonna happen to this gal!!"

Hi!this is rishi.Shall not go in recondite introduction as my good friend may have done that.Well i'm not the authority to comment on others notions,but i guess the concept of Blog does so & so does some of the enamoring write-ups of yours which made this demure person to come & share his honest opinion.
The "The Whole marriage issue" definately bafffles your mind especially when you have or are about to cross 25.Your blog diligently & incisively addresses the agony of a senesced person who is been pressurized from all the corners of society to enter the espoused bandwagon especially when he/she is getting a hefty pay perks & in a good position in an MNC.I can clearly substantiate your thoughts as i'm too going through the same nettlesome process.You have clearly justified the 3 eye opener reasons for the same.
Now,with the closing comments shall say "smart as a whip".I'm a naive rookie in the field of Blogging,but yet have entered this herculean task of writing about me.
Shall appreciate honest critiques on the same....cheerio

hmmm...i ve always thought that men maybe have a bit easy, atleast the time when it begins for them is later, but having cn a couple of my cousins i knw its no way easier for a guy except for the consolation that he isnt the one leaving everything he knws and settling down somewhere nd has to change( they d say adapt coz u love them) and become a differnt person than wht u ve been for so long...and i hav grt admiration for ppl who enter this with grtt happiness and hope (but is it coz they dont really hav a choice so they decide to jump into the well with a smile??)

hmmm...some ppl do find bliss. hahaha.
weather the union results in bliss or not, depends on oneself to a large extent.
I know I am deviating from the blog topic, still wud say that no relationship is perfect, and one has to work to make it interesting and full of life.

Cliche, I know, but this how I feel.
