Who’s in line to get me hitched?

What inspired me to write this thing, is a bunch of lovely colleagues. Well may be Monday morning my draining face shouts out loud, I am single and available, please get me hitched! Even in the 21st century, world around me has still not come to terms with the fact that an individual can stay alone. Yes! Stay alone without being coerced by the words such as commitment, companionship, relationship, love, romance and of course Marriage (with the big “M”)

I do understand we have come to believe that man is a social animal, always favored being in a community, a society, learn, grow and groom in and around a cultural belief, which in fact is fabricated by man himself. Is it required for us to be bound by things which do not mean the same to you as it means to others? Just because you are a resident of same society

For long now I have failed to understand. Let alone your family and friends, nowadays even your peers seem to have a problem having an unmarried/single individual in and around them. Guess the problem is more out of seer affection towards that individual. To see him/her “settled” (married) in life. At times I felt its due to their guilt of being in a committed relationship or a wedlock and not being able drift out of it or may be they feel threatened having stray stags and gals, what if these sassy singles are set to ruin their fairy tale life and steal their spouses. Why they feel the way they do. Whatever the reason is GOK!

Well mine is a close knit office. We are just about a dozen and four more, in a dingy building in the corner of nowhere. Single status is exactly shared between three men and two women. Reason I am giving the stats, is to understand highly skewed majority of people bound by the holy matrimony around me. I consciously believe they all are Monogamist too. Who sincerely are preaching me what they practice.


My preachers are quite seasoned; few of them have basked in the glory of marriage closer to a decade now and few others are newbies in the wedlock.I get a daily dosage of nuances of marriage or being in a relationship, from each of them. My Darling colleagues have set out on a project on getting me hitched! Well this seems easy for them. I wish them all the luck.

I do feel singled out, fighting the preacher’s league alone. I could tell them to lay off, this is none of their business. But it’s very nice of them to feel and think about their fellow single colleague. After all, they are all so humane bound by fabricated society. They are on the “Hitch Expedition”. I have decided to play along.
