To be or knot to be!

Most of my friends around me are either married or going to be in the next half a dozen months. Just about a week ago, one of 'em was going to be a proud 'Papa-to-be'. He was googling for baby names. I was shitting in my pants for I know my time will come. I wanted to hum 'Heaven can wait', but I know hell wont!

And why do I feel such? I have been blessed with the best girl I can ever spend me life with. If luck may, I would want to be marooned with her on an desolate island with my Cessna crashed down a dune of rocks and I would not even sandprint for help to the scarcest eagles. So far so good, but whats next?!

I took me a jolly good 6 week interval to write the next line. And this is no publishable material. And if my Lady were to read this, it would be no more than gallows for me ;-p

So what could the reason be? Dunno that and I am ready to bet a million rupees that 98% of all the guys go through this. So I aint alone and thats a breather that its only normal. Maybe, this mellows in a couple of years but this is a fact.

Marriage...in-laws...kids...diapers...vaccination shots...eeew! If these were the scheme of things behind a marriage, I wonder how a "live-in" works. And why does it work (if it works, that is). There is the man and his lady (okay for all your fairer sex - there is the lady and her man...happy?!!) and there is their house around them...maybe their nosey neighbours (depends upon which part of the world they reside). So all in all, what I am trying to put forward is (in case you are already confused as I am), is this whole matrix of relationship management that comes to the fore when two people intending to spend life together come forward. And with whatever I have seen around me, it is a tough one like any other. Moreover, it also has a lot to do with the personality type. What holds true for me may be an absolute nonsense for a lot of people and vice versa.

But still, one day, may be 5 years from now all this will be routine and cool. I would probably be scoffing at this piece then along with my wife and may be my kid at my lap. And believe me you, given a chance, I would really want to scoff at this. Such is life! Phew.
