Dear Husband to be

These days I am facing a lot of flak and pressure all thanks to you. Mother, Grand-mothers, Aunties, Cousins, Friends all seem to use their full energy in trying to look for you. Me? Well, trust me when I say I'm in no hurry to find you and you can take all the time in the world to find me. Also, even if you do end up finding me, let me tell you about certain things about me which may want you to rethink your decision. I've done my 2 cents in warning you, can't blame me later!

  • Not being unreasonable here nor am I trying to be flaky but I hope you are at least average in the looks department. Sigh! having said that if looks is the only department you fail in, I'll compromise but the least you can do is be tall. At least I don't have to throw away my high heels then 
  •  
  • I spend more than I earn, so I hope you make enough for both of us
  •  
  • I'd appreciate if you punch someone in the face for acting smart with me as against running away from the scene although I may pretend I love non violence. And pleaseeee, I cry enough for the whole nation so avoid tears until really really necessary

  •  
  • Even though opposites generally attract I hope we share at least few similar interests (Travel, music,books, writing,guitars,beers,Shahrukh,Ganguly,Torres,Sampras, etc)
  •  
  • I hate flowers,stuffed toys cats, loud people, fast cars,bad manners and liars.Avoid these gifts,keep these topics off conversation and such behaviour at bay.
  •  
  • Being Kashmiri is not equal to being Punjabi. Get the difference!
  •  
  • Expecting me to turn vegetarian would kind of be equivalent to asking me to wear a "I love Delhi" t-shirt. Err, impossible.
  •  
  • Just fyi, I may come across like a really modern person who is cool with almost anything you do, I won't be. I will get pretty possessive and orthodox when it comes to you
  •  
  • I like surprises. Be nice sometimes. It will help. Really. I am quite the emotional fool
  •  
  • Vacations are as important as working. I hope they will also be on your list of priorites
  •  
  • Rima will always be my first husband <3. (Sponsored bullet)
  •  
  • I've already named the kids since I was 16. Saves you some work and also accquaints you with my Virgo advance and meticulous planning syndrome

  • I am clumsy, so get all your prized possessions insured. Also blind, so don't take it personally if we meet accidentally and I fail to recognize you. In all probability I haven't seen you only

  • Your dowry will only include Indu bai. She also serves as a loud speaker whenever required and will quite literally hunt you down and kick your ass if you bother me

  • I will not share my Jet Privilege miles with you :P.I have tolerated a lot too many turbulent flights, naughty children,slimy men and irritating aunties to earn these free tickets and by the way, you know the movies where you always find a hot man/woman come sit next to you on the plane. Just a myth!!

  • I have lots more to add but pressed for time right now. Maybe I'll continue this post on a day when work is lighter

 Barring the above, I think we should pretty much be alright otherwise. Oh yeah! Brush up your cooking skills. I could use some tips! oooh sorry if I'm being slightly demanding but I hope you can sing or play the guitar!

Best Regards
Me! 

PS: Please don't judge me on basis of this post nosey aunties. Its all in light humour!
