We're really really sorry for not posting last week, but hey one of us turned 18, and we weren't really over with the hangover! I mean C'mon we're allowed that much concession. (Just kidding, we're really boring and lazy and thus did nothing special but were still tired. ;_; )
Avni : But seriously all Tanvi wrote last week was "Thankyou (s)".
Anyways, A Very Happy Diwali to all of you, hope you all had a great one, and with that comes our new post! :D The inspiration to which comes obviously from all those houses we were dragged to for the much hyped about "Diwali Gifting". -_-
The whole Diwali gifting thing used to be great fun as part of the whole Diwali chaos as long as were treated to statements like "kitna lamba/lambi ho gya/gyi hai" and kaju katlis and chocolates. But now the only conversation starter is "Aajkal kya kar rahe ho beta ?" followed by the dreaded question "Aage ka kya plan hai ?" And trust us the safest reply to this is "Uncle/Aunty abhi decide nahi kiya" because the moment you brief them about your plan that was already derived after a lot of brainstorming and confusion, these people will start bombarding you with their expert advice about your future, which will do nothing more than confuse and frustrate you further.
We don't see any sane reason as to why this uncle/aunty who we barely meet once in two years is so interested in our future? How about we keep questioning about your salary the instant we meet ? And even if you don't have anything else to talk about and the topic is going to be about our prospective career, why can't you be satisfied by our answer and shift your focus ? Why are you so hellbent on convincing us to choose the option you suggest ? Like does somebody pay these people for all of this ? :/
Avni : The worst piece of advice I recently got was "Beta height lambi hai, army join karlo". Kyu karlu ? Aapse pucha kisi ne ?
Tanvi : Yeah, what if she wanted to be a model ? :P Stop poking your nose into the matter.
And we've seen its always these faraway relatives, that we have absolutely no memory of but they somehow claim to know us from the day we were born, who are so curious about our plans as if their life depends on it. We have never seen people really close to us, bother us so much about the issue. All they wish is to see us happy and successful in life.
Now for the relatives that keep advising you to eat well and kill all your self control and efforts at the gym by statements like "kitni/kitna kamzor ho gyi/gya hai" "dhang se khaya kar" "gym jaane ki kya zarurat hai?"
And if you're on the healthier side they start giving you diet plans. Hypocrites you see, just not satisfied with anything, all they need is something to gossip about.
Ohh and god save you if you are of the suitable age and the conversation happens to shift to your marriage. The first question that pops up is "Nazar mein koi hai ?" and if the answer happens to be negative, they automatically take up the job of your matchmaker and flood your already tensed parents with rishtas of their "Amreeka/Canneda wali bua ka ladka/ladki".
Also if you're married, even if it was just yesterday, brace yourself up for constant questions about "The Good News".
Even if you're not the marriageable age and a girl, these vellas will still manage to leave you red faced by making statements like "parya dhan hai yeh toh .. chale hi jaana hai ek din" and in our minds we're like "Uncleji aapne chale jaana hai uparwale ke paas,aur maine jail, aapke murder case mein!"
With that as the Diwali season drifts to an end, we look forward to meeting more such lovely relatives in the forthcoming wedding season!
That's all for now.
This is the Soul Sisters signing off!
Keep reading, Keep smiling! :)
P.S.- Any resemblance to any real life event is purely intentional and if you're one of our relatives and have any urge to have a career counselling session with us, this one WAS for you. :)
