you know what?? i am not against old people. as long as they are like my grandma’s. i am by the way talking abt the first two, and also lets add grandpa no 3.but i have noticed that most are simply not like that.whenever i go to my grandparents place i have to do quite a bit of visiting, mostly the supposedly old and infirm , who by the way have a very fiery tongue.
Trust me , i could have jumped and strangled them all off in amatter of minutes.I dont understand why everyone is obsessed abt marriage !!!!!!!! i am sick and more sck and tired of it.I dont wanna get married @!!!! what will they do?????,
ok, i do wanna get married, just not anytime nearby.i mean, i dont even dream abt anyone theses days. Typical old (women) conversations -
(old women) ow – so, my child, i heard the results are out?me -aha.yes it is.
ow – heard you didnt do all that well.
me – uhm uhm.yeah.
ow -so i guess you better get married of!! ( laughs, other ow join in, my ma looks sheepish)
(my grandma) mg – (ignores comment) she is joining christ.
ow- christ ?? is she becoming a nun ?(guffaw again)
mg -no she is joinig christ college , banglore.BBA.
me – ammama, BBM.
mg – oh yes.i forgot.

pregnant and stuff)(YUCK!!!!!!!)

ow – i am not talking abt her!
mg -uhm.
ow – so i guess you got in through donation??? thats all you need these days!
mg – n she didnt.she had an entrance and interview and things like that.
ow -they all say that, i am sure they must have given donation.she said she didnt
do well.
me -UHM! i got in.no donation.( smiles sweetly)(but she must have known i was gonna kill
her.)
ow -ok ok, yes yes.dont get angry.( fake sweet smile.)
ow – you know, when i was 18, i was married off,.
mg -uhm.
ow – i am gonna get my grand daughter married off.she is studying in the best college,
mg – yes.the best parelle college.
ow -yes, open.but still all are old proffesors. excellent eduacation.she wants to do C.A
me- (rolls my eyes.)ow -you know you get a lot of money in C.A ! i guess you cant do it.
me – uhm.i dont want to.
ow – so my child dont get up so late!!! what will you do when you get to your husbands house??
me – dont worry,ow.i am sure i will manage.
ow – i mean, she is such a loooooooong thing, you will have to look quite hard for her.
it must be tough being so tall.
me -i like being tall,its nice to stand a head taller than you.
mg – all my grandsons are over 6.00.i am sure we will manage .
ow- hey! dont take it personally! its just that youre so scrawny, how will you get a man?
and what abt the dowry??
mg -hey ow.i think we must go to the next house, to visit the ow.
ow- dont worry, i will be scouting arnd for boys!!!
P.S – my grandma hates her, she thinks ow, is a horrid horrid female.i just think she is dumb.
and irritating, and i am ordered no to open my mouth.the moment i tend to become the least
rude, she will stamp my foot.it doesnt hurt, she is tiny, butt still.
but i will listen, cuase the best thing is to tune out the infernal creatire.
