married friend – I have haldi-kunku at my home on Monday.
I (taking the cue) – oh! so I have to come ?
married friend (teasing) – you know its only for married girls.
I (dramatic tone) – oh! what double standards!
confession 1 – I try VERY hard to understand and empathize with the worries, troubles, tensions of my married friends lives. And I understand sometimes I can never get there to ‘really’ relate to or understand things. Because well ‘I am not married‘.
confession 2 – On extremely low days, I know and am jealous of the day to day companionship and joy (and all other emotions) they share with someone else.
confession 3 – May be for some people ‘it’ may never happen or happen very late. It is an equally REAL fear.
Note to self – May be no one belongs anywhere. We are all just trying. May be.
