How Old are you -Part 1

How Old are you???

How old are you???

There were many a times when my cousins & friends used to call me at odd hours asking for relationship advice & fixations (wow). Finally a few got married and others got into serious relationships. Just a few days back my cousin (btw whom I had helped for 4 years in her relationship crisis & finally saw her marrying/passing with flying colors & who left her job ) called me at 4 am to have an important conversation. Guess what the Important conversation was all about (typical Punjabi style):-

Cousin (calling at 4am) - Hey How are you??
Me (in sleepy voice) - Was sleeping!!
Cousin (exicted) - Hey I have to talk something important
Me (cursing the stars) - Ye go on! Is Mr. N okay??
Cousin (happy)—Yes Yes, He loves me dearly, we frequently make love!! You know na I am happily married now.
Me (confused)—Then why are you calling me at 4 am??
Cousin (in a sad tone)—I was thinking about you today??
Me (astonished)—After all these months, you finally though about me at 4 am??
Cousin (excited tone)—Do you meet guys, some nice ones??
Me (confused, irritated)—Yes mostly jerks
Cousin (again sad tone)—Worried about you yaar, you are not settled??
Me (shocked)—I am working, I am kinda settled in my work now.
Cousin (saddest tone) - Who will take you, you are so old now, age is increasing.. worst no boyfriend also. My in-laws’ said-- Your parents must be feeling ashamed of having an old daughter at home now. Entire family is feeling sad, you are social responsibility
.Leave work just get married.
Me (super-shocked, angry at 4:30 am)—Social responsibility???
Cousin (super-saddest tone mixed with anger)—Yes ... it’s a social & personal taboo you will be never be accepted fully well in the society, not atleast not here—Babe your relationship status defines who you are. Just marry anyone it’s too much now!!
Me (Super-duper shocked and thinking) --- How old am I??

How Old am I?
