See basically there are four kinds of people :
1. Single : These guys are basically chaps like me constantly shifting between Cynicism and Optimism but otherwise enjoying life as it comes."Getting lucky" as a phrase is still in their vocabulary. However they tend to have periods lasting from 1 night to 5 years of unattached bliss (Like me right now).
2. Married : This category of people usually give the single people sad looks and feel sorry for them at dinners and such. When a chap/girl is single they usually assume that the single people are like that because they seem incapable of finding a woman/man. They also assume single people lead fruitless lives. They usually talk as if bachelorhood is a disease although they never say so in so many words. The sympathy they exhibit because of this stupid notion usually makesa single guy like me want to take a thick hard stick and hit them over the head with it. (It is amazing I am not yet a raging psychotickiller)
3. Parents : This is that stage of life when married people come to the full realisation of what they have gotten themselves into. The usual expression when it hits them in full is "OH MY GAAAWD!!!". After that they get used to it. They have sex on their wedding anniversary and spend the rest of the time either working or tending to kids. The smart people sometimes hire nannies and have evenings out where no other married couples are present. These evenings may or may not culminate into sex because they usually are bone tired.
4. Old people : These people look at all those above three categories indulgently or with severe criticism (depending on their outlook) and the usual line waiting to spring to their lips (although they seldom use it) is "Hamare zamane main...". Then they shrivel....either tell themselves their life is wasted and it is too late and die sad OR gloat over other people's miseries because they have done it all and are now "wise" and happy knowing that it might not matter anyway since they are going to die. |
