Celebrating Life : Marriage is no option before 27.



Many people marry earlier, some later and i guess next generation will not marry at all!
I have been noticing more and more people getting engaged under the age of 23. I have seen my female friends/cousins getting married at this subtle age.
I agree life after graduation is hard-hearted. So why not just skip it and get married.Right?
NO!
People don't understand. Beginnings are always wonderful!
Marriage! Hopefully you'll only do it once.
So wait! Make a Life first! Live a Life!
One of my female friend has a crazy reason to get marry at this age. Do you really wanna know the reason?
PARENTS!
It would be difficult for me to comment on parenting styles. Recently, I read an article on ParentHood!
And then a series of questions with the same word hit me-
Are there Obsessed parents? Competitive parents? Cool parents? or Regular parents?
Obsessed means keeping a 24/7 watch on the kids,
Cool breed is the one that love to parade their kids in funky outfits.
And then there is competitive breed who are always on a watch as to what other kids are doing and then getting their kids to do the same.
Finally, there are regular breed where parents try hard to raise their kids with caution and giving them their own little space!

OKAY! WHATEVER!

But when a girl grows up! Most importantly, she needs TRUST from her parents! She wants her parents to support her!
Why is she restricted to go out on a vacation with her friends?
Why is she restricted for a night out?
I agree Delhi is no more Safe! They care for their girl!
But then,
Why is she restricted for a night stay on a trustful friend's place?
Why does some parents give nasty look when they get to know that a girl has male friends?
What century are we all living in??
Is it really 21st??

Girls are told, wherever they want to go, Go with your husband!
OH REALLY??
because girls are a responsibility! Aren't they??

That is why, my bloody friend is getting married! And other girls too :/
It's not that I am against Marriage. But there has to be a right time for it. Stand up for yourself and get mature first!
Because you are not just marrying your partner, you're marrying his family too.

We must have disappointed our parents Long before 23!
SO GIRLS OUT THERE!
Lets do it again! For our right and for our good!

Well! All I really wanna do is spend my life travelling the world, reading books that take my breath away, drinking all kinds of tea and occasionally write something!
I mean is that too much to ask for?? :D
Here is a list one should do before getting married!
It's not that one cannot do it after marriage but there is something especially liberating and overwhelming doing it beforehand :

1. Have a Attitude of Gratitude in life! Feel it and Live it!

2. Finish your studies. Get a master's degree. Achieve what others may say is impossible for you.

3.Plant a Tree and it will grow old with you. We did nothing to be on this earth. Let's do it! It feels good :)

4.Travel with your sister or closest female friend. Get lost in the city where you don't speak the language!

5.Move out of your parent's house. Live alone. Slash with roommates. Live your own way. See how messy you are! Learn to be organised. Learn how to pay bills, manage your money and live responsibly!

6.Learn how to cook. Cooking is like LOVE! It's adventurous. (if you know what i mean) ;)

7.Learn a language and visit that country!

8. If you are earning well, sponsor a child's education.

9. Go on a family vacation and see how funny your parents could be when they are stress free.

10. Practice giving! Giving is more rewarding than receiving.

11. Buy a Ridiculously expensive item of clothing or cosmetic, and gift it to your closest friend or a friend who is sad for some bloody reason!

12. Spend time with your grandparents! And when you understand their story, you'll love them even more :)

13.Do not Diet! Even if you think you are Fat. Its just the thought! You are Perfect :) Eat whatever you want to :)

14. Walk away from the drama, move forward in Life. Let go off a friendship. Not all friendships are meant to last forever!

15. Stop being judgemental. It takes a long time to learn how not to judge yourself through someone else's eyes.But once you do, the world is far brighter place to live!

16. Terrace lovers! Spend time on the terrace alone, have a drink! And love your life!

17. Take more pictures! They are great memories!

18. Make vow of silence. Some questions can only be answered in silence!

19. Don't worry about the things you can't change! And Accept people as they are!

20. Go on a long drive with your closest friend in lowers! Eat an ice cream and talk some bullshit sentimental stuff! :P

21.Learn from movies.Believe in Magic! Do what fears you?? Sky Diving?? Ohh Yeahh! I'd love to!

22. Make a list of things that makes you Happy! Keep that list with you always in your bag/wallet! When you feel upset, Do one of those! Try it! You are gonna miss me! :P And Stay Happy!

23. Write Thankyou notes! Some people feel shy but i don't understand what is there to shy about? Always Thank for what you receive!

24. Watch movies alone or have a lalala time being home alone! :)

25. Go on a Blind Date. A blind date may make a great story to tell friends or an experience! Or may be even a great Love!

26.Focus on Happiness. Being Happy is more important than being Rich.

27. Be good. Do good! When you do good, you get good! Be Loyal and get married!

And say,

Alright Life! I'm Ready! Bring it on! :)
