Navigate the Desi Mind
I'm 24, female and not yet married. Does the fact that I'm a full-time engineer and full-time grad student almost done with my master's matter? No, it does not. All I hear about is the failure that I'm not marriedso often that I have delegated two days of the week for marriage talk. The rest of the days are off limits. But my mom still finds a way to break that rule...MLID.
Wah! You are a true desi (532) - Really? Desi? Go check yourself. (38)

I'm sorry for you. Most of the MLIDs we can laugh with, but this is serious and must be annoying for you.

I honestly feel so bad for you. All my older cousins go through this & they're always complaining how annoying it is.

Aw, I'm sorry. It's sad, our parents just overlook our accomplishments and everything that really matters to us right now and go on to ramble about how there going to marry us off to some rishta. And I hate those talks too. Best of luck.

:( i'm sorry, this must be awful. honestly it sounds like you're really busy so i think you're at least doing something right: 1) if you were doing nothing all day you'd probably spend a lot more time hearing your mom complain to you and 2) when you do get married your husband will be lucky to have an intelligent and successful wife! try not to let it get to you too much.

Awww crap. You could always put up with it for the time-being and disappear after you finish your Masters.

I understand. I just got one of those talks too, and my mum still expects me to jump on board about talking to some random guy she doesn't even know; after she said "he's better qualified than you!" (just because he's doing his in engineering and I'm in education) and "do you want us to have failed as parents?" (rona dona and all).
