AUNTYGIRI

If you are over 21 years of age(25 for guys),single and happen to attend any family/social gathering,you are subjected to what is called AUNTYGIRI.

AUNTYGIRI is the question-answer,gossip,information relay and conclusion assumption system carried out by our dear auntys who are more often than not "good friends" of ur mothers',2nd,3rd,4th and so on upto nth cousins of ur parents and the helpful and caring(read snoopy) neighbours.

Actually,AUNTYGIRI exists at every phase of life.It probably starts from the sack race days in school and goes on for the rest of your life.It is an intermittent phenomenon that is very severe during festivals,board exams,entrance exams and campus placements but reaches its peak during the marriage season.The auntys cannot tolerate the single status and try their best either to talk your parents into getting you married or try to find the "reasons" behind you being single.

One aunty recently told me that "no matter how many degrees you have,you will end up cleaning soiled diapers,so why don't you just get married"

A TYPICAL AUNTY CONCLUSION
Aunty One:Do u know,that she is 24 and her parents have no intentions of getting her married.

Aunty Two:They must be trying,but are not revealing it.

Aunty One: But why? Do you think she had an affair?

Aunty Two: Maybe,she looks like she is that type(i seriously don't understand how u can "look" like that!).

YET ANOTHER ONE
Aunty One: Have u seen Mrs.Xs daughter in Mrs.Ys party yesterday

Aunty Two:I missed the party at Mrs.Ys place(poor thing the newly bought diamond earrings went unflaunted).But y do u ask?

Aunty One:She is dark and also a bit fat.I am sure she weighs more than my daughter and doesn't look half as good

Aunty Two: Maybe thats y she is not married in spite of being 24

THE AUNTY HALL OF FAME
All the K serial women are born auntys
All the PVCs of la la land are auntys in the making(refer to PVC in my blog)

THE BEST AUNTY SO FAR
I don't think anyone can beat Nadira Babbar as Aishwarya Rai's mother in Bride and Prejudice

Talking About Impact......................

Here are a few very well known 20% dialogues which i thought are worth a mention

"Mere jeete jee yeh shaadi nahi ho sakti..........to?kab jaa rahe hain aap?"

"Ab desh bhi aazaad hai, toh aapki beti kyon nahi?"

"main tumhe mere jaaydaad se bedakhal kar doonga"

"Tum paida hote hi mar kyon nahi gayee"

"Ab hum samaaj mein sar nahi utha sakte".............................................................................................................

NEW AUTHOR SPEAKS

First of all, congratulations Marriage Market you are the blog that lived inspite of Xai trying her best to close you.




I must say that reading Marriage Market entertained and enlightened me. I got to know about the whole arranged marriage fuss and about Dus Bata Dus(my favourite part in the blog). A recent conversation with Xai convinced her that it is the 'right time' for me to be involved with Marriage Market.



Having been rejected by an American university thereby putting off Ms for six more months , staying at home after 6 years of unrestricted living and having relatives and auntys while away their time discussing my marriage(Even the finer details like the budget for sarees etc..) makes me the perfect contributor to this blog.



So,here I am all set to post everything about this circus and exult "arranged marriage zindabad" for this is where 80% of the Indian roads end.
