Engagement ke Side Effects

While life in general takes a nice sweet turn after getting engaged, it also leaves you feeling dazed and confused. Being a blogger/writer/poet with your fiancé knowing that well has its own set of pros and cons. People who know both your situations, the engagement and writer wala funda, generally tend to try to make full use of you.

I have been trying to handle all this and more since quite a few days. Read on what is the stuff that suddenly seems to start happening in your life.

1. Every Aunty walking on the road suddenly recognizes that you are no longer single and available. People have new found respect for you. More so they have new found inquisitiveness and curiosity about you.
2. You are suddenly surrounded by so many relatives, mostly women, that you don’t feel like counting them. Of these, the real relatives are generally handful. The rest just make themselves your relatives. You like it or hate it, it don’t matter!
3. Each of the relative suddenly starts to enjoy pulling your leg. If they could actually pull your leg, you would have by now become physiologically 10 times your current height!
4. Everyone suddenly starts to advise you about the golden rules of courting and wooing. It is suddenly their prerogative to advise you of the so called “Golden Period!”
5. Right from the Peon in the office (well if you have one) to your youngest relative (it does not matter if she is only 7) wants to know how you are spending time together. This despite knowing the fact that the two of us are so closely housed that a stone thrown to her house would take nearly a year to reach and also require multiple people throwing it!
6. Added to 5, suddenly people start to look at you when your phone rings, as though they already knew it was your fiancé calling! And if it turns out not, then the expression on their face is a million dollar one!
7. Each Aunty you know suddenly wants to know how much you are spending on the phone bills. They ask it like they would offer to pay it for you, you just need to reach out and ask them!
8. Added to 7, even if by chance you tell them of a flat rate plan, they have only a dirty look to give! A look that can even put Lalita Pawar and Shashikala to shame. It is downright cheap to have a flat rate plan and uber cool to incur unearthly telephone bill expenses!
9. Every Aunty in the block wants to turn your sweet, on screen Nirupa Roy like mom into a menacing Lalita Pawar ka cheap version! They are really not happy with the K-Serials that they watch on TV that they now feel the want of a Reality TV version!
10. Aunties on the block suddenly start accounting for how many hours you stood outside the house after parking the bike talking to your currently a lot sweet, little bitter soon to be better half! This information is then extrapolated to arrive at conclusions like what gift I could have or can possibly sent/send on her special occasion! The more hours that you talk, the costlier the gift!

Well, it is true that at the touch of love everyone turns into a poet, but the fact is that engagement does turn every Aunty on the block into a detective!
