The long wait of chasing my partner had returned me an adieu of ~ 8 marriage proposals being rejected due to x,y,z reasons. Whether all those were of your control is what Syam thought about all the way from 2016 post completion of his MBA. Many friends in between, all got settled, the only one pending was Syam. He is completely over the previous relationships and truly a new man , willing to accept a best partner, irrespective of looks, numbers, attitude etc. What if the family decides the to be? will it workout ? No. puhlzzz....
During this dilemma, there were many rituals being carried out and many worships to umpteen number of gods to get me married. Its better to ask him what he wants rather than assuming and praying to God, which the family had not thought about. Yeah, at last, it happened wherein which everyone got fed up with the "regular story" outcome. Even all the gods started assuming, "this guy is an exception".
The bygone days were of ultimate frustration, where the banker friend use to make fun of , the rider friend whom he had already withdrawn from the scene. Who all will be there for the life is a mystery. Thyself , the random thoughts has been quite embarrassing, as the common forum always, finds time to pin point or back-stab, because of the reason of getting more settled than anyone else. Prima-facie, the choice of friends would always be questioned under ultimate humiliation w.r.t case, creed, salary, education, and position. Being born in an elite class though it's not my mistake. Now I consider it as a privilege.
The stint with a big four has happened in between, which had really shown some light in front of him, in form of so called corporate friends. The rest seems to be moments which where of mixed thoughts, mixed enjoyments.
