Yesterday was a day of revelation for friends at college. The news broke to them in a secretive suspenseful environment. Although I was expecting them to burst into fits of laughter, surprisingly they instead dropped their jaws in perfect synchronization.
I rushed through my story of getting engaged, the grand ceremony and the upcoming extravagenza and they rushed through their hearty congratulations mixed with angry words about breaking the news so darn late. Then, almost at once, everyone begged me to bless them - for they were dying to get married.
That was my time to burst into fits of laughter. Half-envious, half-humored, they left me at the college gates for probably one of the last times they saw me.
Leaving a city, leaving a lifestyle, leaving a life behind... its like dying and being born again as a completely different person...

Kushu: Believe me darn-it! I don't understand who put this in your head that marriage means two babies and the end to your life. I thank my stars I have a life partner who has set no such stereotypical guidelines for me and who doesn't interfere in what I dream of in life. I will continue my education as well as my work just the way it is. Trust me :D there's nothing chickish about it!

Dhaval: I meant you're not to be invited, you're that special. Indeed you're so special that you'd probably be a VIP guest - as in a very important person :)
KD: You must you must :D Thanks!
