I have been attending a lot of marriages off late - in less than 12 months - my closest buddy, my closest cousin, 2 of my batch mates and a few ex-colleagues have all gone ahead and said yes at the altar.
On top of that I have my blogging friends always blogging something or the other about marriage.
Also, HK - the great city of bachelors - has seen this rampant obsession of "settling down" - close friends now have families, I am almost always the single guy surrounded by married couples.
If the couples are Indians - the talk invariably surrounds kids, families visiting, shopping for the baby, and other expecting friends. I remember at a recent assembly of this variety - I got very excited when the talk swung to the experiences in the retail store "Toys R Us" only to realise that the parents were talking about their kids being excited and what I was actually refering to was my excited state ... there was an awkward moment of silence and of course, then I was again the bane of jokes...
If the grouping is not Indians then I am the favorite attack point of "someone who needs to get hooked" and rampant (untrue) rumors of being a man with funny tastes ... hmmm.
And since I have given up drinking - my bachelor friends have cut me off from all types and forms of interaction
So I thought I should let their be a blog that in case someone is interested in marrying an impatient, irritable and childish guy ever; then she should be directed to this blog where some important things about me are mentioned -
1. Weekends are for hiking, and being with the outdoors. Shopping in a mall is not Outdoors.
2. Boxing is a sport.
3. Bike is more important than a car.
4. Car is more important than a baby.
5. Pts 3 & 4 imply bikes are the more important B in my life.
6. No TV in the bedroom. TV is a conversation killer and my snoring will get subdued
7. Exploring and growing a relationship means you talk and I listen. My knowledge is non-existent and I would wish it remains so.
8. Tom & Jerry are actual friends, and not just cartoon charachters
9. No ogling at my friends - 2 are lifeguards and 1 an ex- super model.
10. "We need to talk" is the scariest statement ever.
11. The right side of the bed is mine so is the right side of the conversation.
12. My samurai sword remains in the bed room.
13. My dinky car set will only expand going ahead.
And of course I shall prevail (though I know all of you are thinking - "Wishful Thinking")
