Love is such a complicated thing nowadays, especially for women. We are far too demanding, I guess. We just want the Best of the world. Well, that's very obvious, now that we are as independent as any man, we want things on our own terms and refuse to settle for anything less.
Unfortunately, the society we are born in, doesn't really appreciate our liberal views. Now that I am home on vacation, my "Single" status is a constant topic of discussions amongst my Parents, mausa-mausi, tau-tai, bua-phupha, uncle-aunty and almost every single human being on earth who is related to me in some way.
Wherever I go, I am dutifully lectured on how unlucky and atrocious it is for me to be "Husbandless" at this age when I am almost nearing 30. Had I been wise enough to marry at the "RIGHT AGE", by now I would been a Dutiful Wife and a Proud mother of one kid atleast. But this is not how things were to be. (Not that I am complaining).
Therefore, to ensure that I don't die a Spinster, one of my very concerned Mausi immediately geared up for action and darted towards MISHRAJI, our family Panditji. Mishraji, on seeing my horoscope declared that though most of the planets side with me, but Rahu and Mangal are not all that happy with me and are doing everything to keep me away from my Knight in Shining Armour. Thus, Mishraji recommended few Upaays:
1. First and foremost, for the next 5 days I'll have to deposit a Marigold flower and a Copper coin in sewage "Ganda Naala" .
2. Secondly, I would have to drop 4 coconuts in a River, (In my case, Beas River happens to be on the recieving end).
3. And finally, I'll have to apply some Sindoori Powder on my forehead.
Even though, I am not fully convinced of the credibilty of these Upaays, but still I am doing them religiously.
Whether my antics would really appease those villanious planets or not, I don't know, but one person who is definitely appeased is Mishraji.
