Lady in Red: Hi. New around here?
Lady in Blue: Yeah, it's only been 2 months.
Lady in Red: Oh, are you working?
Lady in Blue: No.
Lady in Red: Oh, ok.< Oh man. Must be one of those poor dependant types. Did an engineering degree. Waited for a US groom. The minute one was in sight, handed over the resignation papers and got ready for blissful matrimony. No interest in her own career or independence. I'm sure she's all set to pop out babies as well. One after the other. She has the time, nothing else to do and can save on day care. Her husband must be happy at snagging a perfect housewife and she must be happier providing for all his demands.
Really, how pathetic.>
Lady in Blue: What about you?
Lady in Red: Yeah, I work downtown.
Lady in Blue: Oh nice. < Oh. She must be one of those aggressive career woman types. Junk food. Late night. And bosses to suck up to. I'm sure she spent years away from her husband just so that she can still have her career and come here with a work visa. Which quite obviously means she had or maybe still has a sad marriage. Doesn't feel the need to be with her husband every night. And yeah, DINK - the double income- no kids thing. Or maybe she has kids. They must've gone straight from the hospital crib to day care. What's the point of being married and living a life if you don't take the time to enjoy it.
Really, how pathetic.>
Lady in Red: I got to rush. Nice meeting you.
Lady in Blue: Sure, Bye.

Nice one...but there seems to be some confusion with the blue and red :)....and i like the "perfect housewife" bit...lol

Was like reading my own thots.. so true and now i've been on both side :(

Nice post. I've been reading ur post. But never commented. this one made me .. :)
Hey Sandhya,
I could kind of relate to that, that too when my hubby has got an admit in Duke and now that i have to relocate I am totally confused on what to do...should i wait for the right oppurtunity at work or just quit and enjoy the homemaker life :( uff!! such an indecisive phase
too much marriage nonsense. the world should take a page from roofy's book and stick to jacking off. no red-blue problem then.
think you have captured it really well.
to some extent, i feel that we all try to (internally as well as externally) justify our choices in life..
Happened to come across your blog by chance...very interesting take on marriage!

very interesting post (and true), figured you were on both sides of the argument (as confirmed by your comment).
Good one. You finished the piece showing great tact by not taking a stance. What do you feel?
