30-1....knocking


okie...this is something I dreaded forever....

The clock is ticking...a little too loud...a few more days..and I'll be...eeks...30-1...I almost typed "3" there...I wish! 27 is digestible, 29 is GRAND! If anyone ever said mid-life crisis, i know what it is. Don't even feel like Bridget Jones anymore...bet she was younger in the movie/novel. :(

Agh...was speaking to this friend today...and discussed how the whole plan has gone kaput! I was suposed to have been married by 24, at best 25, had my first baby by the time I was 27, and around my 29th birthday, I was supposed to be pregnant with my second baby...ofcourse I would have a flat of my own, a car in my name, a decent bank balance...successful career...i had it all painted in front of my eyes. Did I mention that I would not know the meaning of the word "cynicism" as per my plan?

There's just been a "slight" change in "the plan"...I am turning (gawd it hurts) 29. I am single (of course unmarried), clearly childless, not even in a steady job (its a contractual assignment), no flat, no car, and cynicism? of course not! :)

man what a traitor god can be! Several years ago, (before I got into my late twenties), if you asked me "do you have a plan?" I'd say "of course, I do...for the next 50 years!"

Today, if you asked me the same question, all you'd get is a raised eye brow! 

Know what's brought about the tirade?...thsi woman who i believe was probably only a couple of years younger to me walked up to me and said "didi, bus kab ayegi?" Bloody ***CH! 

And on the trip to Thailand, to help her team guess the name of the movie, this disgusting cousin of mine pointed a finger at me and my "OLDER" unmarried cousin while we were playing Dumb charade. The movie was "Dhalti Jawani!" DO NOT LAUGH! It is NOT bloody funny!  grrrrr.

Graying hair, expanding waist line, bags under eyes! approaching 30's is the worst thing to happen to a woman I say! And is it just me or do all women approaching 30 develop an inexplicable affinity towards chocolate, fattening food, and daily soaps? 

I mean...ugh...and why is the whole ****ing world gettign maried....men and women...all you need is to turn 21...is the whole world becoming bloody th***i? I mean gimme a break! wait till you are atleast 35 if you are a woman and 40 till you are a man! lame joke...I know...but I bloody mean it! Thank god, I sit next to this woman at work who is also in her late twenties and is thankfully unmarried, unattached, and working on a contract!

That's the sadist in me talking! :) And I'm loving it...

And for once, can people who are married, unmarried, with children, without children, old and young stop asking me what's new in my life...The "news" that you, my parents, and like the whole world seems to be eagerly waiting for...will be delivered to you...while I scream from rooftops, whenever that happens!

This is just the first episode from the "30-1....knocking" series! there's more to come...

Enjoy! and I am NOT saying that cynically! grrrrrrrr...and I amNOT bitter....and I am NOT frowning! and the smile on my face is NOT fake or a result of BOTOX! :)

And YES! I may just bite! I don't know for sure, do I?
