It really isn't that bad!

God really has his ways of making you feel better! I was going through the frustration of 'Jinu proposes, mummy disposes'. I had grand plans of spending a few hours with books and kick starting GMAT Prep this weekend. But as you would have already guessed - my mum had something else on her mind. She wanted to go shopping! Yes - so bloody predictable. With my sister's arrival around the corner (with in-laws and stuff! :O ) and being a south-Indian family - we went saree shopping for the 'guests.' We entered these stores with such pretty clothes and through out our way I kept seeing these beautiful shoes - like a kid who looks longingly at ice cream parlors but does not ask his parents for it since he knows they will say a no. And then my dad decides to be the good dad and buys me a pretty corduroy winter coat and lovely leather boots. And I was all smiles!! 

So, I came back home and thought it was time to sleep. Just then I felt I should watch a movie! And there I go - I started watching 'Love Actually.' No particular reason - I remember seeing it while at Google and melting at a few scenes. So thought it's a zero-risk movie. I would not repent having watched it again. And that's when I get a call from a 'not-so-close' but a nice friend of mine. We got talking and I said how frustrated I was, how I so badly want to do an MBA and make big buck but the entire process is so long and tiring that somehow I have no energy to get started etc etc. (If you are one of those who speak to me at least once a week, you would very well know the crib story!) Anyway, so he suddenly says something that I am taken aback and pleasantly surprised at the same time - 

"It's ok if you don't feel upto it. I will do the MBA and we'll get married. Then you can have all the money and do anything you want to! " followed by a "Fine?"

Anyone reading this would get a feeling that I was being hinted at, but I know him well enough. He did not mean a word, but just meant - it's ok, we'll deal with it! 

But the thought stayed on my mind. Imagine someone actually doing that for you! In all honesty, the me otherwise would be so put off to hear this. I would typically go - "What? are you insisting I get married to some rich bum and become a kitty-party babe? Excuse me, I am not cut out for all that!" But all I said was - "Ya..! that sounds like a plan!"

I had a good think over the episode and I figured out, that just the fact that someone said it is fine to not do anything  - was amazing! I mean it is not criminal to not do it and that something or the other can be figured out!

Did I make sense? Or did I? All in all, happy feelings. :)
