    THE DAY FINALLY ARRIVED

    The evening where I paraded with a fragile tea tray


    When mom decorated all in her own little way
    I put my nubile hat and marched in front of strangers
    Acted coy and nice, and prayed there are no dangers

    So lady, tell us more about yourself


    Felt like a question right from hell!
    How is one supposed to describe oneself?
    There are certain things you just can’t tell!

    Do I cook well? Hell yes, but only on weekends


    Do you sing? Yes, but only to scare friends!
    Do you drive? That’s a big yes, bring it on!
    Do you nag? Of course, I do, I am a girl, you moron!

    Did you make this tea? What? Excuse me?


    I was holed up in my room, didn’t you see?
    Did you make the samosas, my dear?
    No, there’s a sweet shop right here…

    What do you want in a husband, may I know?


    Anticipated it coming, there you go!
    Tall, dark and handsome is the least
    Non-snoring and loving, and always ready for a feast!

    Someone who can sing to me all night


    With whom, my whole world would seem just right
    One who’ll take me touring across the seas…
    And not hesitate in handing me the car keys!

    Should love my parents more than me


    Should become my destiny
    If you have all of this in you,
    Gentleman - kindly join the queue ;)
