edit added at end.

im bored again.
two blog posts from uni, within 3 hours of each other= new record.
and testament to the fact that i absolutely have no life.

Interesting thing learned from world lit class-
there is no morality in a world of chaos.


what else did i learn? oh, that Odysseus played 'unwilling lover' to an immortal goddess for 7 years, because he was married.
key word. unwilling.
even more key. he played the role, nevertheless :/
at which the prof mimics him, ' like seriously, how many more positions could there be?'
i didn't know whether to die from laughing or mortification.



we play our cards as fate sees fit.
unquestioning.

''who can glimpse a god
who wants to be invisible gliding here and there?''
-The Odyssey, by Homer.


i see God
when the sky turns a plummy azure and burns up with the rage of the setting sun.
fade out into dark,blinding night.

rahmble. pfft.

30 mins to class, at the other end of campus again.
surprise surprise.

i miss home.

dad says yesterday on skype.' beta ur a woman now. u cant do this. jab tumhari shadee ho jaey gee, ull need to cook regardless of whether you had a long day. thoda serious ho, ghar sambhalo, khala ka hath batao.'
dad i'm 19.
i do help out.
i can cook and sew liek a champ for someone my age whose not in paki and being drilled by all the aunties there so that she can be put up for show on a pedestal like other poor lambs.
it's like a friggin bakri market there.
funny dad applies all those rules to me here when he's conveniently some 4000 miles away.

it chilled me to the bone tho. despite sub jo ho raha hai, what if i still end up with someone like that? i got that feeling again yesterday, which i haven't had for a while. absolute fear.

i'd much rather have you here with me now. you knw that right? i miss you alot.
tonight'll be our night.

i can stand up and try and run away from this rut but i know that being desi and being female should be qualification enough to get me back in that shit hole cooking for some maulvi type jerk i can't stand for the life of me and having to raise his kids and pretend pretend pretend for the rest of mi life.
it.makes.me.sick.to.my.stomach.

please don't let it go down that way.

on a brighter note,
Rudolph's a red-nosed reindeer.
i always said.
:D

Thank god my parents are open-minded.

Their rule in life: shaadi hoti rehegi, but you have to make your own life first. Education and career pehle, shaadi baad mein.

^_^ I am saved.

Tinuviel said...

And I'm too rebellious for my relatives to pick a desi guy for me.

I'll kick them in the nuts/vags. So they don't send rishtas whereas my sister gets them left, right, and centre.

So haha. XD I shall marry a non-desi.

@ neeli,
only those people who get awesome husbands say that marriage isn't bad. which is, hmm...probably 20% or less of the desi populace.

@ Tinuviel
*jealous*

my family? dads still pretty old school..life banao isee leye takay shadi achi ho.Seriously!
I am un-saved!

Thank God my relatives havent start picking for me. Don't think im rebellious enough to kick them in their fruities, but i migth glare at them hard enough with the intention to do so.

Marry a non-desi?
HAEY haey kia zamana ageya hai!! :P
u lucki lucki idiot.

@ Neeli..

TRUST me.

god that reply needs so many edits.
i really need to start proof-reading everything before i post it.

neeli said...

okay so i take that back. i recently stopped believing in arranged marriages, after my sister's wedding. slipped my mind :P
but yeah it's not just the arranged bit. it all boils down to how compatible the two people are with each other.

E said...

aaaaah just when i thought i had some hope too :S..
the problem with arranged marriages is that you dont know what you're getting into and how compatible ur gnna be with the person....that can turn out to be a surprise, bitter or otherwise....
and i dont think the person doing the arranging ever actually thinks about all this. theyre more concerned with how white the girl is and how many dollars the guy has..apparently compatibility of skin colour and money is kinda more important for a lifelong union. and hey why should they listen to all us folk, we're the naive ones...

neeli said...

I KNOW, disgusting. I hate how complexion becomes the basis for um. whether somebody will make a good life partner or not :P
do people ever realize how ridiculous these concepts are? or are they really that dumbbb.

E said...

yes people apparently are that stupid. and i include the educated desi class, which surprisingly are the BIGGEST propagators of the jahalat.
it PISSES me off..seriousli.. as if theyre own kids are a step down from heaven :S
