26 is not the age of frustration, It isn't the age to be a single.

Hi, I am 26, frustrated and single too. Being a strong beliver of Hindi movies and specially Yash Chopra movies, he has said in Dil to pagal hain (even in DDLJ and Chandani and Lamhe and Veer Zara) that there is someone somewhere is made for each one of us... Really??

Mumbai job was perfect, good profile, well paid and in hometown, what more can we ask for?
Some more fun??

Here no freaking out with colleagues till 8.30 -9.00, you are left with 10% energy level till you reach at home, no gym, hardly any movies at weekends but good food, family life and yeah family functions.

Mom: " Don't keep anything for sunday, we are going for Sanjeev's wedding"
Me: "Maa! I have stopped going out on weekends, my frieds; they are either at abroad or married"
Mom: " Why don't you get married, Sanjeev is 20 months younger than you"
Me: "Is it? he looks quite older na!"
Mom: "Shut up, and haan! while getting home collect your sherwani from dry cleaningwala"
Me: "Sherwani? in month of May, you crazy?"
Mom:" But that looks good on you"
Me: "Ma, they say I look nice even in T shirt and jeans"
Mom: "Who they?"
Me: "My friends"
Mom: "Shall I ask you something?"
Me: "Shoot"
Mom: "Do you have girlfriend?"

tring tring...

Me: "Bolo Sirji, kaisan ho?" (Sirji; a colleague, a friend and a big time despo)
Sirji: “Problem hain"
Me: “I know"
Sirji: “You know?"
Me: "Of course project deadline on Friday and testing review tomorrow, problem toh hona hi hain"
Sirji: "Not that re....I am getting married"
Me: "What???"

Me and Sirji at office cafeteria...

Me: "How could you say, yes?"
Sirji: "Check out her snap"
Me: "So, when is the engagement?"

I can't believe Sirji is getting married. It was never a question of Sirji liking someone....as long she is a girl Sirji likes her. But how can she approved him? I mean look at her. She is so....................
Confession: I am jealous.

At Sanjeev's wedding....
Sheela mausi: "What is your salary?"
Ratan mama: "I never heard name of your company, my brother-in-law works in Godrej"
Chintu: "What is software?"
Prabhakar kaka: "Do you smoke?"

Prachi: "Bingo!"

Prachi: "WHAT?"
Me: "No Nothing"
Prachi: "So how are you?"
Me: "You tell, I am standing in front of you"
Prachi: "You put on some weight?"
Me: (shuutts!!) " blame ma for that, otherwise I am still the same. How is the new job?"
Prachi: "Oh it's great, Project is ultimate, except the PM. He is one big %$%&*^%"
Me: (Have I heard it right? I remember Prachi used to make lots of spelling mistakes..she must have mistakenly used that word...or ?) "Well, its the same situation, even my PM is one big.................. (I can't).... (Let's try...u can do it).... (No ..I can't)..."I mean he is pretty bad manager" (Hushh!!!...looser)
Prachi: " I am getting promoted next month"
Me: "WHHAT??" (I realized that I overreacted ...in fact I heard "I am getting married" hihihi) "Congrads...promotion so soon..And onsite?"
Prachi: "Yeah; that too, my visa is ready just waiting for client's approval"
Me: (Stop it Prachi I can't take it anymore!!!)
