knock knock iam looking to marry..

A friend just wrote in and I agree. We are all in the same mode of mid 20's, single, independent and being forced to look around. Because unlike the 30 something youngsters ross's and rachels, we have folks who want us settled. want us married. may be not as stringent as folks back in the 80's even 90's or before but yes they are ardent that we kids get our matches soon enough for them to breathe easy. why do i find that word 'matches' corny.

saw a movie a couple of months back. called 'knock knock iam looking to marry'. very southie, very directly put, with a story very similar to our plight. a 24 something in banglore checking out boys and men, traditional, masochists, boisterous, babies even druggists.

i have met people while not being interested for zilch in the whole 'suitable boy' game. There have been interesting people who did not click. There were not so interesting people who would have clicked but for my outcry. But to sum it all up. This is not done. This is not the way it is supposed to be. This is all wrong. I hear those drums from distant greens. People tell me how it was when they first met. They tell me they knew it, they knew that was it. They tell me it happened in due course. I say hello. Bad game. I give up . Well thats how another of friends whose mom sent him a picture of a lady lately, that when he had not even finished Vikram Seths great novel, puts it.

And now that I have made such a publication of probably peoples private confessions I wonder if I will ever look back at this piece and say -- 'well I knew it!' after writing that : ).
