Matrimonial Blues


  “Hello…”"Hi buddy.Wassup?”
“First congratulate me…”
“What for? Gotta a pay hike?”
“I got engaged man…”
         …i got engaged man… i got engaged man…( Its an echo for dramatic effect)
I couldnt believe my ears.The words kept ringing like a pathetic free ringtone one downloads when half drunk.”Whats the big deal?” i kept questioning myself.But it was a big deal.Slowly but surely,everyone but me, was getting engaged.The cellphone i just purchased was turning out to be a curse.There were calls i recieved everyday… somebody was getting married… somebody was getting engaged… somebody was going for “Go-see-the-girl ritual”. I had this sinking feeling as if i was the only one left of the extinct group of unmarried/unengaged/idle species… n something had to be done soon.
“Hello…”
“Hi… please dont tell me ur getting married/engaged.”
“Hey, dont tell me… ur in the same boat as me!”
       … ur in the same boat as me… ur in the same boat as me… (some more dramatic effect!)
    So now there were the two of us a few moments later,and a computer.
“Do it.Just do it.”
“No,this is insane buddy.I never thought it”d come down to this.”
“A few years down the line,you may not even have a chance to say this.Look,I dont wanna be the last man standing buddy.You know,even that filthy li”l p***k got engaged last week.”
“You went to his engagement?”
“No,just the bachelors… free booze man.Whats more frustrating in life… drinking at his party…We”ve pulled it too far.Come on buddy,just do it,register…”
                  … register… register… register… (Pinnacle of an effect)
“Ok… here goes the registration…name,age,blah blah blah…
… Whats gothra?”
“Its in gujrat,that riot area.”
“Whats that gotta do with registering for a matrimony,you moron.”
“If you got an answer to that one tell me,u smartass…”
“Nah,we”ll skip that one.Whats manglik?”
“Its aaa… mmm… hey,you know Ash n Abhishek had something to do with this.i”d seen it on news.You gatta marry a tree first n all that stuff…”
“So what do i put in?You cant hunt for a tree in this. We”re like alice in wonderland.Such a waste of time buddy…”
“You”ve wasted enough time.This is the productive time…”
“Re-productive time…ha ha.Okies,we”ll skip that one too.”
           After skipping n hopping n jumping most of the lines,we reached the business end of it.
“Set-partner-preference.”
“Boy,this is cool… Note this - girl,36-24-36,beautiful,intelligent,can cook,can listen n cannot talk…”
“I think,that should be put in world search… n still you wont find anyone!!”
“Aha ha.So what do you put in buddy?”
         … what do you put in buddy… what do you put in buddy… what do you put in buddy… (a thousand people shouting from every nook n corner)
           Someone who knows how to swim… the boat”s sinking.

    At 25: girl must be smart, beautiful, convent educated, cultured. At 30: educated and well mannered. At 35: Divorcees allowed. At 40: Widows will do, no dowry!
