Standing Tall
2008-12-15 17:30:00 Being young and single by choice in a country where the search for the search for a suitable boy or girl is a national pastime has its perils. One of them is encountering suggestions of a 'suitable match' from all and sundry.An acquaintance of my grandpa plays matchmaker and, to may consternation, calls is social service. He even maintains a database of the eligible men and women he knows in his little black diary and graying head. A few weeks ago he fired his first salvo at me."You see, he is a son of member of the Legislative Assembly. About to get his MBA. They are very rich. So, what do you think?"I'd have replied in irritation that I wasn't game for such arbitrary suggestions but my curiosity was piqued. With a little probing I discovered the 'eligibility criterion'."You see, he wants a short bride. He is just 5 feet 2 inches tall.""In that case I don't fit the bill", I replied with a sly grin, "I am five three, you see." More About: Tall , Standing

2007-09-28 12:51:00 Now that the south-west monsoon is receding, I?m feeling pretty blue. I love the rains.Lately, they remind me an ancient Sanskrit poet?s ?cloud messenger? who delivers the messages of an exiled demi-god to his wife.The rain ?clouds bring me no news from my beloved. The more modern means of communication do precious little either. While Beau is time-strapped meeting deadlines, handling exigencies, jet-setting to places far and near, and chasing his dreams, I do not crib about it. It is losing out on the little joys of being in a relationship that gnaws at my heart.It means more longing and less loving. Walking into a social do all by myself.
