#10 questions I really Hate being asked
Different people have different thinking. But I really get frustrated by the following 10 questions. I am a straight forward person. But for these questions I really feel to just keep quiet and stare at the person until he/she feels I am crazy and leave me alone.
1) Why did you do an intercaste marriage? Were all the boys of your caste already taken?
Come on, we are living in the 21st century and you are still asking me this caste question. No, I didn’t do an intercaste marriage because all the boys were taken, but the guy I chose was worth more than the 1000 eligible guys of my caste.
2) Are you really a Maharashtrian, I mean you look Bengali?
2) Are you really a Maharashtrian, I mean you look Bengali?
Here I don't get angry because they consider me as a Bengali. But when I have already told them that I am a Maharashtrian they just don’t believe me and keep repeating the same question.
3) You make so nice paintings and sketches, will you make a sketch of my girlfriend/ boyfriend? I want to give her as a gift!!
I really hate this question. You want to give it as a gift then please pay me. I have a busy schedule and if you want me to contribute my time to draw your sketch I actually need a compensation.
4) Why did you plan a baby so early? Were you having any complications?
I just can’t believe people actually think like that. More than 50% of girls in India have their 1st baby before they turn 20. And I had mine when I turned 25!! Is it too early? I don’t think so. May be I should ask you, a 33-year-old woman, married 6-7 years ago still not having any kid, are you experiencing any complications? Being highly qualified and career oriented woman doesn’t give you the privilege to ask me this question. So, shut the F*** up!!
5) When are you coming back to India from abroad or are you going to settle down there?
Why just why do people ask this question. Are you jealous that I am abroad and you are not. I will return when I feel so. Let me first explore the world. And you didn’t even bother to contact me when I was in India. So just go away.
6) What do you do all day alone at home? Don’t you get bored?
Nothing. As currently I am just a housewife, taking care of my 2-year-old kid. I only do the daily household chores. Just cook food 5-6 times a day as my toddler wants different items to eat throughout the day. Give time to my hubby and play with my kid. And the time that’s left to myself, I do drawing, painting, sketches, crafts, photography and write blogs. But for you I just do nothing.
7) Are going to start working again?
I have not decided yet. Yes, I was a career oriented before, but now I have a kid. I have my responsibilities towards him. Once I feel he is independent enough, I will think. But again, it’s my decision right?
8) What are your future plans, are you going to sit at home without any work?
Same question, but different perspective. Currently I have no future plans. I am enjoying the present. And what do you mean by sitting home without any work. Being a housewife and a mother is a 24*7 job!!
9) You make so many crafty things, Doesn’t your husband say anything to you after seeing the mess?
Thank God my husband is not like you. He encourages me a lot for keeping my hobbies alive.
10) Why do you read so many books? Means do you actually remember any story after you read so many of them?
Can you believe more than 10 people asked me this question. Yes, yes, I know how you are exactly feeling right now. Please send me the bricks, I will throw them in their Face…
