The Umpteenth Prospect

[eternal_ot]

Opening the door with my spare keys I was greeted by fake smiles and their enthusiasm unnerved me a bit. Usually, I get the “we didn’t even noticed you enter” treatment. I rushed to freshen myself. When I came back to serve myself dinner, I became aware that they were nudging each other. One look in their direction and I knew the subject matter.

I can't imagine what it would be like to be in an arranged marriage or what it's like leading up to one. Thank you for this insight. I'm so glad you were able to refuse men you weren't interested in.

Very interesting read!

Glad that you found it an interesting read. Trust me it took me days to come to a decision with all the pressure of "you'll not get any one better than this" ; "Look at your age" " What art you expecting? Prince charming?" Phew!!!

Finally! It's all in the past :) Thanks a ton for stopping by <3

This is so well told! I'm glad too that you were able to refuse the men you weren't interested in!

[eternal_ot]

Good to see you here <3

Ah, family meddling. My father has been begging me for grand kids. "You're in your 30's now. When are you going to pop them out?"

I can't picture my parents getting super involved in my dating/marrying life. I'm glad you're married now and don't have to worry about that anymore. :)

[eternal_ot]

Ah! Yes. That keeps coming up in conversations now- a- days at my place too. I too am happy that its all in the past now :)

Thanks a ton for stopping by <3

I couldn't imagine that kind of scenario, but it's been around a lot longer than I have, that's quite certain. Very insightful piece, especially considering its brevity.

That's one of the reasons which keeps on coming up in the supports of arranged marriages "It's been working till date" But then dynamics of the society are changing and I hope these things should evolve too.

Thanks! Glad that it worked. Good to see you stop by <3
