A New Joy

Consider you're from a pukka traditional family. Your parents have found and fixed a guy for you. You're now engaged. Life has never been as good for you before! It's like having a boyfriend but only so much better!

1. You're allowed to stay up late nights, blocking up the phone lines and no mutter of dissent comes from your parents.

2. You run up a huge phone bill and your parents oh-so-happily dole out the cash!

3. You're entitled to wear a silly grin stuck to your face and nobody thinks you're a fool.

4. When you suddenly blush for no reasons at all, instead of weird stares you get pleased looks from your family and friends.

5. All everyone can tell you is about what a happy life you're gonna lead with him/her.

6. Suddenly you're the center of attraction in every gathering and conversation - and you like it!

7. You get to have a boyfriend without going thru' the pains of finding one!

8. You find yourself in a new and erstwhile forbidden relationship and suddenly it's not frowned upon at all - you can be bold as daylight about this!

9. You now have more fun planning your wedding (something you've been doing since you were this high), because you can now give shape to the person who'll sit next to you!

10. Not only are you happy in this relationship, you find that everyone around you is happy too. And that increases yours!
To put it simply, it's a happy dreamy time!!

Author's note: Thanks to Vaishu for being an inspiration for this post!
