Still not married at 30??

Friday, January 19th, 2007

I would like to share something which i personally experience (hmm, perhaps some of you did during the course of your bachelorship) and i do not like that at all. When you reach 30 and still unmarried, you would be harassed (yes i will call it harassment)  by relatives that it is high time to get married and they would give you tons of reasons to do so. Girls would be harassed at an early age, and when they reach 30, and still bachelor, they would be called  “vieille fille” or worst that a lesbian. Same will apply for a boy but the naming will come at a later stage..

I personally experienced that during a meeting with a couple of friends. One of them happens to be married and brought the conversation on the table. He even proposed to find a girl (from China pls)  for me. I took it like a joke and replied to him to do so…
The hypocritical part comes when someone who you know closely gets married and started to urge you to do the same, when that same person earlier was in tears when relatives and friends perform arranged meetings. The vicious circle will go on. Typical mauritian mentality!!!

Now supposedly one passed the wedding race with flying colors.  The reception was wonderful and it was a huge success. Another lap awaits you. Kids!! Yes! If you are married and still kidless, you will be asked why. Even if your reasons are genuine, there will be gossips that the wife can not bear, or that the husband either is sterile or entertains another woman.

So much reasons for me to live in my own little world.

Boss is supposed to leave today for Rodrigues early morning. But he did not go because he forgot his ID at home. According to the chauffeur, he phoned his wife and began to scold her for not putting his ID card in his wallet!!! Pas bisin dire ki fine ena detonation…

When wife came to work today, her face was still ara. Husband and wife did not speak at all for whole morning. Wife left early to look after kids. Husband went chaker…

Broken heart

Saturday, August 5th, 2006

The day before yesterday, a colleague A received a call from the boss. He asked him whether he would attend a wedding reception (receptionist’s wedding) on Friday. As he was not invited, neither were all the guys in office, he replied that the only invitation he received was for today’s wedding (another collague’s wedding). Boss was silent. Yesterday, colleague A began asking all of us whether we were aware about receptionist’s wedding and queried about the place of reception etc. Later in the afternoon, all the ladies began to leave early to get prepared for the wedding. As he saw that, he asked me “zot pa aller?” I replied ” nu p tape la rak. Leglise nu pa aller “. He remained silent.

Needless to say that this was the talk of the day. HIs heart was broken and we could not help laughing.
