I just wanted to talk my mind out… I have been quite stressed from last couple of days.
I work in private sector in an Indian metro city. I am 29 already. My parents are looking for a match and this entire process of arranged marraige is so depressing to me, I feel like I cant take it anymore.
Firstly, more than half of girls are already committed, and hence for arranged marraige one is left with very few options. To make matters worse, in my profession girls are hugely outnumbered by boys, which further narrows down the choices available. Also, families preferring arrange marraige are too orthodox to even let the boy and girl talk before marriage, let alone meeting with each other. Though my family has selected the match for me, her family does nt give us any update on time and we feel as if they are still looking for better ones. This thought is so depressing because, we have been lookng for a girl for over an year now. My all future career plans are going down the drain due to this ever postponing wedding.
I try to find out the reason for this misery of mine. I believe its all because I turned out be an average private sector guy who seemed to have nothing much to offer, hence he gets average girls and they too seem to take us for a ride. Rather than blaming her parents or my parents, I am the one to be blamed. I deserve the blame for not working hard enough and not making a mark in my industry.
The only way out of this seems to be working really really hard, whats the point of living a life full of anxiety every day. Its like dying everyday.
The only way out, is to work hard no matter what happens… work hard even on the worst of days… work hard even on the best of the days. No excuses. Wake up finish your morning routine and start working…Work work work… forget everything. no regrets of past no worries of future, just work. Set a target for a everyday and work towards it as if you survival depends on this.
