CM:
Now this is just plain freaking annoying. I get the idea that they do it out of the general goodness and stuff but what is it people and expecting me to be married.
Typical conversation with a desi.
Desi A: So how is the family? All good.
Me: Yup. Just got back from RnR, saw the parents. Younger sister is good. It was a chilled break. Much needed.
Desi A: And the wife and kids?
Me: Oh I am not married.
Desi A: Wait…how old are you?
Me: My age
Desi A: You know its about time you started thinking of settling down.
Me: quietly nerd-raging Yes i know, and the inane banter starts.
Had it happen to me 4 times today. Hell the damn driver spoke up and said if I wanted to get married, he could help me find a nice Pathan Afghan girl close to the border.
At that point I was looking to find something to stab them all.
First I thought only girls had to deal with this stuff. But I get it from every damn body now. Forget the Afghans at the office, the damn goras ask me how I am not married being from a similar culture. Afghans get married young so they assume that Pakistan its similar, which is true but why bother me with it.
I am close to telling people I am gay.
My instant answer have been “who needs 2 get married when u can hv evthing without it ” so now all aunties go directly 2 my mum 4 such concerns
u know worse then that is when ppl who know u inside out bring up such topics like ur family n close friends n u stand there n wonder that are they really concerned abt u or are being sarcastic abt the choices that u made
Almost everything, but it costs a lot

Hula girl since we are in the same boat, what say we kill two birds with one stone? :D
Merci.
First, it's hulahoop 'queen' - not hula girl.
Second, we are not in same boat. According to the desis, I am married taking care of my kids. I am far ahead of you.

Re: Annoying irritating desis....
No worries Hula girl. I like kids. They make life more interesting.
And Seema it could be easier, but not Halal. And that is a major bummer.
Re: Annoying irritating desis....
They want you to get married so you can reproduce, they want to make sure they do all that they can to secure their race lol.

You should definitely tell people the truth.. it will help them better understand your situation lol.

Hulahoop QUEEN.
Ok since they make life interesting, you can stay at home with them while I go out for some shopping and movies with my friends. Deal?

Re: Annoying irritating desis....
No problem with that at all. I like kids. And they absolutely adore me.
So does that mean you will marry me? Good. I want a house, a car, a summer villa and two cute single maids in the Jahez. Chop chop!

Re: Annoying irritating desis…
HAHAHAHA!
I thought it was only girls who had this happen to them too
^^totally loving this conversation hahahaha
NaMaan:
Experiencing the same . Heck people are so blunt over here . This is the first question they ask , and if you don’t have any proper answer then they think you are dysfunctional or something . Especially I hate all those married people . They just want whole world around them married and kickin’ . But no , people in Pakistan don’t really have to be so nosy and blunt . I miss uncle sam sometimes
err arent u a little young to be experiencing this?
by the way @ CM when are you getting married to one of our fine single ladies at GS?

Re: Annoying irritating desis....
Can't walk the walk or talk the talk :p Plus I am too much man for 1 woman. Can you arrange 3 or 4 wives - I am cheap as well. Don't want to waste too much on the wedding.

CM, I'm curious how you would pull this one off. How would you tell it and make them even have second thoughts. :P
