- This Jayanti Aunty came home to see the baby and..
- Ok who's the boy
- Some cousin's sisters son. Some ABCD boy
- Oh ugh. Been there done that.What's his name
- I don't know
- How old is he
- I don't know
- What does he do
- I don't know
- Appa, what do you know?
- Nothing as of now
- Then why are you telling me this?
- I don't know. I just thought I'd keep you in the loop.
- This loop is highly hypothetical
Two weeks later
- Appa, so what happened to my ABCD mapilai
- Who?
- Never mind
Older sister - "You got rejected!"
Me - "By who? "
Older sister - "That guy. You're too short."
Me - "Oh the guy with a gay Facebook profile picture? Really, I'm hurt. Since I spoke to him, like never and didn't even remember his existence."
Older sister - "You know Suchi, you're going to be that unmarried Chitti who takes care of all the kids at our younger sister's wedding. Murugu's happy the baby is looking tall, that way she won't be rejected for her height."
Me - "Oh..my..god... *pause*...I have no comeback...
Momania - "So there's this boy. But..his family wants your 'assurance' you'll move back in two years.
Me - " Sick. Next."
Momania - "So there's this boy. But..his family wants a big wedding and they told us how many grounds their house was."
Me - " Hold on. I need to go throw up. Where do you hear about such vague-andi people? "
Me to Best friend
Me - Do you know your Mom is forwarding some profiles to mine.
A - Really?
Me - Dude, that's a nasty ass couch he's sitting on. This guy needs to make a trip to Ikea.
Me - Dude, is that guy gay?
A - Teeheehee, I don't know, why?
Me - Kinda creepily metrosexual.
Me - Did you see his picture? Doesn't he look like Suppandi?
A - You might be single for the rest of your life.
Me - That might be a highly ironic end.
Momania - "So I decided you're wedding is going to be in the house. You know Suchi, after all these functions I've been attending, I feel its better having it at home with close family and friends. And then we can have a cocktail party after.
Me - "My wedding? Is there a boy?"
Momania - "Since you can't find a boy yourself, don't rush me."
Me - "Low blow."
Appa - "Hi Kanna, where are you?"
Me - " At the bar Pa. Its Friday."
Appa - "If I introduce you to a boy, don't tell him you go to bars and you like beer and chicken."
Me - "That's awful advice. I don't think this world is devoid of a beer drinking, chicken loving Iyer boy."
I'm glad for the dearth in eligible Iyer boys. Matchmaking process pushed to December.
Woohoo!

Ok! I am 90% sure that was me:) And let me check with my parents if they did contact somebody from Ann Arbor. Small world, eh?
the "Suppandi" bit cracked me up!
Mudra - I don't think its hit me or anyone else that I'm reaching an 'eligible' age. I still act like I'm 19 so cheers to that :-)
Kabedhi - Oh...my..god..Please don't..I will be completely embarrassed. But then again, you could be that boy on the couch.
Beat99 - It was mean of me but really..sadly true
