Good & bad ... another rant

Okk, the bad thing first , I forgot to turn off my roomie car's lights yesterday, so the battery is all gone and it needs a jump start now. I had to pick up the guy at airport, so poor guy needs to hire a cab ,, too bad ...

Anyways the good news is that i found some videos of old univ. days, those youth fests. and dances , Nice nostalgic memories, and it was good to see myself lean and young, those were the days when kids used to call me 'Bhaiya' or 'veere' (thats the same in panjabi), not 'Uncle'. All the guys can vouch for the fact that transition from that 'Bhaiya' to 'Uncle' comes without a warning and you are just left to ponder whoa what happened. And if you are still single by the time, all the members of the auntie team will start bugging you , beta when you gonna get married, you know ***** daughther(After living in south india for so many years, i have started to put h wherever i see a t) has just completed her MSc, she z a very nice gal . What can I say, I find all the gals to be very nice , and as its universally known gals can of only of two varities, either good or very good. Indian parents are very good at playing that emotional cold war to nudge you towards an arranged marriage. Here are some of the weapons of war:
* All the gals are getting married. Keeping in mind the skewed sex ratio in panjab, this seems to be a valid reason.
* I want to see you married before my retirement, like panjab govt will refuse to give pension benefits if any of the kids is unmarried.
* We need someone to take care of you,, Valid argument, i also need some one to take car of me ..
* Silent with hard probing looks, we get so lonely here , means we want grand-kids,

but the best one is from my cousins ,,,
* There are so many good bhangra songs at the moment ,, why are you not getting married ,, Haha like Jazzy B gonna stop singing if I dont get married this summer..

Any of you guys got some excuses to buy some time, holler back ..

ROTFL.
So the next time there is a bigger hit, marry again :):) this logic suits.

There is a saying that a perfect match can only be found between a blind wife and a deaf husband, because the blind wife cannot see the faults of the husband and the deaf husband cannot hear the nagging of the wife.
