you know?
I try very very hard to not make this blog personal and pathetic.
but some conversations i have (profound as they are) must be told :)
Its not very easy to understand what kind of person I am from this blog.
So allow me to give you few interested people an insight into my life.
I go to Law School- the Only Law School in India
and stereotypical beliefs from the outside (also from the inside) are that we are all a bunch of "Big Headed, Ambitious, Arrogant people who think they're intellectually superior" to you.
Its true.
Its very very true.
But you know, I harbour hopes of being a good student but never a successful professional.
I don't want to be a corporate power woman who gets married when she's thirty years old.
Is it necessary to want to "live your life" before you get married and bear children? is wanting the latter "being backward"?
Does "living your life" end at marriage?
I'm all feminist right now like i said in my previous post and no one ever claimed that bearing children was wrong. They always wanted the world to accept that "not wanting to bear children" was not wrong.
Why can't i choose to be intellectually empowered and still be a homemaker at heart?
Life throws these important questions in my way all the time. ALL the bloody time.
I think its the time to myself that makes me think.
Its not necessarily a good thing.
I MISS BEING ABLE TO TAKE LIFE LIGHTLY.
PS- To end on a funny note, someone made a claim today-
"Bihar is not a state. It is a state of mind."
Have your laugh. :D
PPS- My post sounds like something out of a Non Fiction Book. Blech
PPS- Buy me a life, somebody?

Or is this inspired frm da movie? :P
i have actually and that's a nice comparison to draw :)
This was just inspired from my friends and me who think getting married is the best way to escape the expectations which come along with our school.
u rite pretty well..bt i m sry to say that students from other law school in india are also equally bright nd ur assumption is pretty baseless regarding the nlsiu cadets or d nls as a whole :P
hehe...am loving reading ur posts...
i dont think its baackward to want kids..and yes life doesnt end with marriage, but depends on whom u choose as a partner too... i have friends who seem to be having a much more adventurous life than my singlehood after their marriages and babies!! and im totally and utterly jealous..but at the same time i know my life as it exists right now would end if i married any of the boys [perspective husbands] i have meet in the past 2 yrs... hence i choose to stay single even though approaching 30... and honestly do not regret it yet!! when and if i find mr. right, it shall happen...if not, i know how to entertain myself at all times even without company...
I know!! that is so true.
You HAVE to read the piece in Vogue India August. What 40 Did.
It is beautiful
It's about women who became mothers at 40 who felt that there was nothing more fulfilling ever.
