Young and Gay

Young and Gay​

When we are young, we are Gay.Gay i mean happy and full of beans.Of course we dare not tell the other person, that u look Gay today,u may have to rephrase it as , you are looking Happy today, what is the matter.



My mom,as I am sure many other ladies of 50's and above, get into the social habit of matchmaking.If they know a Girl of marriagable age, and if someone recommends a boy a few years older, and earning well,she will put two and two together,and start the process of matchmaking.My mom has been responsible for dozens of marriages, and touch wood all are going fine.


A few years back,we brothers and bhabhis were sitting around and discussing a broken marriage,and mom had to pop in, and ask why did the marriage break.Bhabhi told her, the boy was Gay,hence the wife decided to call it off.She did not understand the meaning, and it took her an hour to understand what it means.And boy, I have never seen her so shocked !


So whenever a proposal comes up, she likes everything about the boy and the girl, and the first thing she will tell the middle person, is how do we find out whether the boy is Gay ? And it takes another hour to explain to the other lady what Gay means.And all the while everyone is in splits,and the poor lady does not know why everyone is laughing so loudly !


Things are getting murkier by the day where marriages are concerned.Now we have to know if both are clear of Aids, so better a test be performed.Ive read in the papers,some Medical Labs are in league with the Marriage Card Guys, and land up at the Groom and Bride's place, and offer to take blood of the groom or the bride at home and give the confidential report,and scare the hell out of you, telling u to take the Aids test, and get the girl's test too, to be safe.So thats a good income for the Lab guys.


Another factor has come in too, thats diabeties.A marriage of a friend's Son was cancelled at the last minute, bcs the girl was found to have high diabeties of around 300 plus and was on insulin.And now this factor has to be taken care of, along with Aids, and Gay factor.


Complicating matters are the Professional matchmakers.What they describe as tall and healthy chap,turns out to be an obese and 5 feet 4 guy.And every person is described in terms of SRK and Madhuri.Woe be to those who are potbellied like me !In my days, when i used to consider myself handsome, I was a sweet talker (diabetically speaking),used to AID friends,and above all was a jolly and GAY person.Today alas these are not qualities but liabilities.


Im glad my wife chose me then, today I would stand no chance at all.Then I was Young and Gay,today I am old and Grey.Amen

Satya,

So true.All meanings have changed today, so have values changed.Our marriages were easy.These days are the days of choice.

Just like to buy a mobile, fridge, TV etc we go crazy looking at different models same is the case with searching for a partner.The looks , earnings etc and after that we have to see each is medically fit also, no aids, no affairs, and the whole things gets so complicated.The expectatuions are too high, so is the dissappointment.

Thanks n regards.kamal
