If one more aunty-jee says.....

..... halay viah nee kithay. There some aunty-jees are gonna need some hip replacements! LOL
 I mean come on I am 26 years old and in an ideal world okay I admit that maybe I am " of age" but not that old. But I can honestly put my hand on my heart and say that " I am ready" and "It is time". 


I regret not having my own blog at the tender age of 18 when I got my first rishtha. I could have  had bare blogs on every single bloke I met and rejected. Looking back my expectations have changed. I was young, naive and materialistic. I wanted the good looking, tall, 6-figure salary geezer who had his own house.....(yes I know...wishful thinking right?) but now I want the 5 time namaazi brother with a beard and hell I will live at home with his parents - apparently based on my current requirements I am fussy?! whats all that palava about? One of the most funniest "interviews" with a potential rishtha was when I asked him if he prayed 5 times a day as this was the "intel" I had received....turns out he was a jumuah geezer....forget the 5 compulsory ones. I give him credit though he never missed his Jumuah!


In fact even then I was a traditionalist and in some ways I still am. My mum brought me up proper you know....aint no way she gonna let me get married if I dont know how to cook "salan" and every "handi" known to the asian familia. And my mum was proud when I first made Keema Mattar....it was good too!! Now 12 years on I can cook pretty much anything. Alhamdulillah. 


So I got the cooking skills down so why is it that I cant find a rishtha then? Well....apart from the obvious fact of Qadr and I completely 100 percent believe that when the time is ordained then it will happen inshAllah......hmmmm....well my patience is wearing thin....but I keep reminding myself...you will get rewarded for the patience so hang in there...and 5 years on am still hanging.


I put it down to the fact for some strange reason.....i am not conforming to what "pakistani" mother-in-laws think I should look like.....I got the dark gene even though my dada-ji is half kashmiri believe it or not! and I didnt even get the green eyes!! khair...I got a nice nose though! (so I have been told). So I am not Gori-Gori and am not "slim and shlim" So that means that I am not wifey material. What is up with that mentality? It completely sucks by the way. 


This just reminded me of the time that my mum was talking to a mother of a prospective rishtha and she had the nerve to ask my mum if I was pretty??!! come on yaar like any mother is going to tell a stranger that her daughter is not pretty?! its such a pind-attitude to have. I mean okay I am no Aishwariya Rai but I aint no Vicki Pollard either ya get me?! 


And its mothers like mine who i highly respect coz of the way she treated her Mother -In-Law.....


And the search continues.....
