My buddy Anamika, mentioned in her last post about marriage, especially about horoscope. Come to think of it, I am also a serious victim (not directly though). Some of you may know that I am in love (sorry friends, I can't tell her name... not now ok??). Well I proposed her, quite sometime back, in April, after some "very" dramatic chain of events :)
Coming back to the point, parents are so worried about their childrens horoscope that what ever the astrologer says, its like whats written in our fate for them. And it turns out that, my girl friend's horoscope also has some problems in it. And some (*&*##!^**#@) astrologer suggested that she should get married before the age of 23. .... KABOOOMMM.
On top of that each and everyone who knows her, keep on asking her..
Now, she is all tensed and have started looking for some suitable proposal. Now what am I supposed to do???

"ohh.. when is your daughter getting married??...""
"Hey I know this one guy.... great family..."
"you know what?, that girl next door, is getting married next..."
Now, she is all tensed and have started looking for some suitable proposal. Now what am I supposed to do???

First of all, in situations like these, you've to calm down yourself. Be confident and don't lose hope till the last minute. lf you break down, your girl will break down and go along with her parents' decisions, which you don't want. So, explain it to her that no matter what happens, you two will stick together. I'll tell you something : Parents want the perfect guy for their daughter; and by perfect I mean : well educated, the ability to earn a decent amount, have a bright future & responsible enough to take care of their daughter. If you think you can handle all those qualities, then be brave, and talk to her parents someday. If you're really serious about her, and you two are committed, then you must have the talk. Let both the parties be aware of the situation. Believe me, if you both are confident enough, parents will see your point. :)
I wish you all the best. I'm kinda sailing on the same boat here.

Thanks Anamika,
But the worse part is that our families know each other very well. we are as a matter of fact, sort of distant relatives. There has been some friction between our relatives (not between our parents ok?), and her mom has always been at the receiving end of it.
So she is afraid that everyone else will criticize (or even crucify her and her daughter on this). She doesn't have a problem with me and has good opinion too about me and my parents.
Thats why things are pretty uncertain now.

About this horroscope and age bar stuff, since I am currently the goal post for all the comments from so called 'caring and concerned' people around me, I know it very well....One 'positive factor' is that I never knew people ( relatives, neighbours, so called distant relatives, uncles, great grandma's friends, aunties, uncles ...list goes on) are so concerned abt my life :-P
