Recently I turned 26. Yes, I know. I am on the wrong side of 30! And mine is a typical Indian middle class family. So if you are a reader who has been through the same phase, you'll agree that there is nothing happy about being 26. In India this is the age when your "uncles & aunts" start to talk in hushed up tones, planning and strategising right infront of you. You will often get the same questions from literally any elder you meet, albeit a stranger to you. And I have tried replying to them in all ways possible - sarcasm, straight facts, pleading, and sometimes even dead-silence but sadly none work.
I don't understand what it is with Indians and Age. Right from birth all the activities we do is defined by age and nothing else. Its the age which determined my joining of school and some of my friends had to even fudge their birth certificates to get admission. It was age that determined when I got Brahmopadesham not my understanding of god or sanskrit. It was age that decided when I have to start working not my capability. It is age that will decide when I have to marry not my maturity. It is age that will define when I have to retire not my capability or ability.
Its surprising that for all other purposes we consider time to be cyclical. Be it yugas, rebirths or just handling multiple things at the same time, for us time is always cyclical. The western world considers time to be linear and for them to peg all their lives on age makes sense. But for our society its a paradox thats quite difficult for me to grab.

Ha ha. You will be hitched soon. All the best. Random Aunty : "U have a MBA, u are earning well, ningeno kadime maduve madkolakke". Madhu : "Aunty maduve madkolakke idella bekagilla, naanenge helali nimge" Random aunty : "Hudugi thane, nan akkan maglu 2 PUC mugsidale, tumba sundaravagidale. Naan matadtini bidu".
It is age that determines when you should start drinking, it is age that determines when you should start driving, even in western countries ! It is great that age determines when you get married, so there is reasonable hope for me that when I am getting close to 30, at least age will help me get married :D
