This post is not with any intent of ranting but just with pure intentions of making it light for me and all those who face the same music. I took my time to pen this, but I saw it coming awhile back. There are different segments of people you witness when you are going through a phase of your own and tend to get these ‘culturally acceptable’ condolences to top it all. On a lighter note I finally, have managed for my sake put them under different slots.
1. The “OMG” types
They: “What!! I am going to die hearing this. Are you serious? You and Him??”
Me: “It’s fine ya. Yes, me & him. Listen, it is really okay. We really tried.”
They: “No yaa. How is it possible? I am speechless. You both made such a good couple!”
Me: “Can I get you some water?”
Like, really? Did somebody just die? Did I just end up pacifying her? Okay, whatever 😛
2. The ‘Is there no chance’ types
They: “Sachi kya, koi chance nahin?”
Me: “Hota to, we wouldn’t have been here.”
They: “Something, can be done. There should be some chance. After all, it was a love marriage!”
Me: “True, but I don’t see any chance.”
They:“Should I talk to him? Let me take a chance.”
Listen up, chances or no chances, Can you like stop chancing your wit upon me? Life, is a big chance & Thank You!
3. The “Bachon ka kya fault hain” types
They: “How are kids taking it?”
Me: “They ‘re fine”
They: “Fir bhi ya. What is their fault?”
Me: “I agree.”
They: “BECHARE, it is their destiny.“
Me: “I am doing my best to bring them well.”
They: “Bacchon ka kya fault hain”
Thank you! You told me something that I never ever considered 🙂
4. The “Did you try Counselling” types
They: “Listen, I know a very good counselor.”
Me: “We tried everything.”
They: “Arrein,my counselor is very good”
Me: “No seriously, It is beyond that stage.”
They: “How can you give up?”
Me: “Because I gave in my all.”
Arghhhh! That’s all – a big Arghhhh!
5. The “How’s he?’ Types
They: “How is he?”
Me: “He is fine.”
They; “But, we saw that picture on his Facebook”
Me: “Oh, you did and you also LIKED & COMMENTED.”
They: “Shit, you saw! Are you still friends?”
Oh, Man! Can I just UNFRIEND you?
6. The “What about your future” types
They: “Kya socha hain?”
Me: “About what?”
They: “Your future. Life is a bitch & it’s not easy. Plus you have kids.”
Me; “Hmm, I can see that.”
…. and life also has many sisters & they are called bitches! 🙂
7. The “who is your lawyer” types
They: “Tell me, who is your lawyer?”
Me: “So and So”
They: “I’ve heard they just take your money.”
Me: “Acha, no ya.”
They: “Out of court kar lo na.”
Me: “Hmm, will think about it.”
Actually, I have so much time so as you think. Even better, I love going to the family court. Will you join the next time? Punjabi mein boltein hain na “LEIN, AIVAI’ :))
8. The “you don’t look like you are going through a divorce” types
They: “How do you look this radiant?”
Me: “Just”
They: “You don’t look SHATTERED at all.”
Me: “Just”
They: “What’s the SECRET HUH, DOVE OR LOVE??”
Me: “Just”
Did you just smell some smoke? or is it me? 🙂
I chose to make this public. I know of so many of us out there, who face these TYPES all the time. You are not alone! Just find your comedy or find mine :). Share, for those who need some rainbow on their dull day.
going through a divorce myself, this post simply brought a huge smile on my face!!! Every single dialogue mentioned was absolutely true.. specially the last one.. its like if you are going through a divorce one must look shattered, dull , pessimistic, snappy etc etc…all the negatives one can add to a person and i don’t know why!!! One must have gone through all this and then decided to chose to walk out of the marriage thereby turning all these negativeness in life to a beautiful future.!! why cry!!! why repent!!! Life is tough but life is not impossible 🙂
It takes a lot of courage to decide to chose happiness for one self and even more courage to keep going strong every single day.
This post has certainly lifted my mood 😀 😀 thanks a ton once again
