LIFE....
So I host live shows and that’s how I came across a young girl at an event…k I dint know how young she was then…anyways I meet this sweet girl who is getting married and all excited about it…so while talking to her I found out that she is 20…(a year younger than me) and so is her fiancé and both of them are in second year of college…k so the first shock hit me then…(k I wasn’t exactly shocked but surprised for sure) and they got engaged just 15 days back…so they know each other for 20 odd days (here came the second one) the guy does NOTHING…he has a family business and all that but as of now…he does nothing…(third one)… so k I asked her if she was forced into it and she said no…she was mentally prepared and has no issues…(btw she belongs to an educated rich family…or shud I say baniya family) seeing the shock on my face all she said was im from a baniya family so its like this in our families…so anyways if she has no probs then its cool…but then the next thing which came up was that she will discontinue her studies…I mean its k if u wanna get married young and all that but u are not being allowed to complete ur graduation…hello I mean in which century are u living…and even if her in-laws dint allow her, atleast the guy should have…I mean he is the so called modern guy so why cunt he try and convince his family to let her complete her studies specially since he plans to complete his graduation…n btw she does want to complete her course but all she said was at least they are letting me wear jeans…I mean hello…wearing jeans…studying further or being independent…arnt they DIFFERENT… well all I can wish for her is that she stays happy with the kind of life she has chosen for herself and sometime in life does complete her education…but then again who am I to write so much about someone I hardly know…specially since I don’t know what my future holds for me…..

I am fuming on reading your post...
what bloody crap is this...
you need to grow up girl..
i am a 21 year old baniya and met 100000 baniyas to date and havent heard of a SINGLE wedding at that tender age of your friend.In fact.......let it be.You will not disagree that baniyas are a part of the intelligencia of the WORLD...yes the 'world'..this is being said by somebody who can name every prof of his dept in MIT,Stanford,CalTech and any other univ you might have heard of.You are not the only one to have taken baniyas in that light and some other of my friends also do that...But you need to realize that every community with a lot of population is bound to have diversity and baniyas are no exception..Due to my recent experience I have learnt the difference between a cosmopolitan and metropolitan..and India is a few millenniums away from reaching the cosmopolitan stage..you being an example..Dont generalize from your experience from one of your friends..who is crazy i must say...
hi!!
thanks for considering my suggestion!!now this post has font color thats pleasing to eyes!!and ur pic on the orkut too:)and nice hair cut too!!
hey!!what has shocked u is not just an isloated incident!these things happen across our country in every other community!but sure india is changing and its people too!!
It sure looks better [:)]
Fact more often than not, is stranger than fiction my friend. Quite unfortunate for the girl, and even more unfortunate that she is unwilling to protest.
I didn't interview Mark Tully in Landour. He lives in Nizamuddin, in Delhi. The Landour piece is a figment of imagination. All blogs marked 'Word Dropping' are from a column I write for Metro Now. In this, I am supposed to write funny stories and make complex, heavy terms simple. :)
Quote1:"or shud I say baniya family" Quote2:"she said was im from a baniya family so its like this in our families"(although your friend said it,I blame you cos you could have lived without publishing it)
Quote3:"i never generalised the whole community and i respect all of them"
Dat gal is right. dats d way it is in most of the baniya families. though i somehow thought the case is kinda different in dos living in metros.
Guess i was wrong. Im 23 and every 2nd week some or other relative enquires abt the D-day to my parents..thankfully even my parents arnt in a rush to get me married so my life is CHILL!
somethings r just beyond control..
Supernova is right that that girl is right !!! all baniyas r like that. i mean, among the baniyas i know, they all r like that only.
btw, there some notorious typos in the post !!!
ok not typos, it's a typo. just one i could see.
