Last week was probably the last ever scheduled break of my life...unless I give into the urge of a second, phoren MBA, or of adding the initials 'Dr.' to my name..
Anyhoo, what's weird (and sad) is I spent a lot of evenings attending marriages - of friends, classmates, relatives and unknowns. It was as if the whole city was getting married. Now all these functions are generally very nice n all...food n drinks n a good way to catch up with friends n cousins....and aunts who have a list of girls waiting for you to evaluate and pick one from!
But then, it sends the philosophical side of me into an overdrive. When will the sham of the great-Indian-wedding end? Why dont these nosy aunts mind their own f*****g business? Does the concept of arranged marriage still make even the slightest sense (despite its awesome success rate in our parents' generation)? Are 24 year olds ready for the matrimonial bond-for-life (and does such a thing exist in the first place)? Do soulmates exist...and what if I ain't marrying mine!??
Damn...I hate feeling grownup. I hate my classmates getting married so early and giving my parents ideas. I hate feeling that studies are done and the expected next step in life is you-know-what. Aah...the phoren MBA or the frauddie 'Dr.' prefix (and the PhD to achieve that) seem such welcome deviations now! I love studying and I hate this MBA that's getting over so fast!!!

Around four years ago four specimens of the ape-descended species, which inhabit this utterly insignificant little blue green planet met. After a few months of relatively formal chit-chat they realized that they shared amongst them a rare brand of insanity. This blog is an attempt by these very same specimens and their friends to share their plethora of thoughts which range from the insanely sane to simply, insane.

I knew it. You are a pukka ghissu. Talking about further studies and all.
And, look at me. I'm tired of doing this Masters in Mathematics. Ready to be out and good :)
oye ... all Dr.'s aren't frauddie :P. I seriously think a PhD from a good phoren B-School is the best option.
But yes, it is very weird with people around you getting married left, right and center. With every passing day I've started feeling that people join B-schools with a single point purpose of getting married.
As for growing up .. I think its overrated. I refuse to grow up if it means giving up on random thuss sessions and fooling around in general and behaving weirdly instead since I have a gf/bf. Why can't people be normal ... the world really doesn't care if you are going out with someone. Strongly urge people to get a life before they get a bf/gf ... its not a f******g race where you have to get a gf/bf just because everyone else is! Might even solve the soulmate issue.
I thank my lucky stars that my parents aren't the kind who'll get any ideas out of all this madness(phew).
@Marvin - Dude, your comment was more of a blog itself :)
I strongly agree with about the 'race'. But, then, life isn't that simple either.
