I need to stop obsessing about my upcoming wedding, coz my friends think i have become a person who is a hyper ball of self centeredness that detroys everything in its path and that who ocassionally turns into a lazy good for nothing sloth who cant be bothered with no shit. And also coz I just googled and found out that in India alone around 1,00,00000 weddings take place in a year, so mine will be just another one and thankfully nothing like the ones that are not accounted for like - all the child marriages and those like marrying random trees to ward of that bad omen or a frog wedding ceremony to bring rain and lady who married 4 brothers (I love my country and I am proud of its rich and varied heritage).
So I will take these 25 days to spend good quality time with my mom and dad, shopping for me and my family (now and future), pampering my preganant sister, having those long chit chats with my friends and appreciating all those lovely people in my life that I might not meet that often anymore like:
1. My neighbors 4 yr old daughter who is my biggest fan and wants me to put make up for her and teach her dance moves (am not good at any of those). She taught me gujrati in return.
2. My cousins- the ones in India, who keep calling me for if I need anything and the ones in Kuwait who think I am uber cool to hang out with even if they are in high school (and I am clearly not) and also my cousins kids - those cute lil brats, I was asked to discipline at every family gathering (It has gone unnoticed, that am really good at yelling)
3. All my colleagues with all sorts of weird personalities (am sure they say the same about me), yes even habib - the office boy who discusses his marital problems with me (y me?) and also those who thought my work was to check their letters and memos for grammatical errors. (I once read this on somebody's staff appraisal form by my Manager : Improve your English for better career bath!!-I did not correct it just like tht). And my secret gang of gals, its crazy how much time we must have collectively spent on discussing men/makeup and hating our bosses. And ofcourse my boss who advices me not to get married (FYI he has two wives- this man, wins my admiration and pity at the same time)
4. The children of our family friends- who pretended to be my best friends whenever we meet. I appreciate that you all pretended to like me, in return i did the same only coz our parents were friends. I hope we are even. Together we managed to get through those weekly torture sessions they called- Picnic.
5. My Friends moms, who always welcomed me in their homes, inticed me with yummy food to complain abt their kids notorious activities as they thut i was the only good influence in their life. They assure me that I am doing something right somewhere. (yet humble)
6. Those friends I made at markaz, who made those sermons fun by forwarding msgs via bluetooth and later whatsapp. Dont judge me, it can get painfully long sometimes and I dont have a great deal of attention span and they serve food only at the end. (somewhere someday a mulla saab will read this and hate me)
7. And last but not the least how can we forget the Aunties, I am sorry my lovelies I did all that was possible to dodge u as I thut you were bent on making me miserable with your curiosity over my wedding date but now I know that it was only your unconditional love and care.
With all the love and blessings that surround me, I am just overwhelmed. (escuse me)
