Family Matters

We have twin weddings waiting for us this April - my husband's nieces are getting married or I should still say hopefully. One of them is slated to marry her cousin but nobody is sure until the wedding happens because she did a U-turn in between. But some unexplained change of heart happened and she retracted. But she's been throwing such tantrums at her family that makes many sons-in-law look like angels. P is jumping mad sitting here, 800 kms away.

My 40 year old cousin got married last month after everybody had almost given up on it. He has never stuck to a place for more than a year and his current salary is 2500 Rupees and the only thing one can put in his favour is his temperament. But I was wondering what made the girl of 27, a graduate who was working for a better salary than his, marry this fellow when it's obvious that only slogging awaits her in her new home. Relatives are all very happy.

I hate it when people say, "You had a love marriage? Can't believe it!". Whatever does that mean! Nobody said that to me, of course.

Overheard at children's play area -

"Oh, don't worry about soiling my clothes. My mother washes them. Go ahead, climb over me!"
