Aunts or Uncles?

My thoughts lately have been revolving around my marriage. The D-day has been decided and is being declared to the world albeit slowly. Why slowly? I have perfect answers; one, becuase of my nawabiness (laziness as you morons prefer to call it) and two because I feel my parents are not doing enough declaring due to the uneasy questions they will face. Here we come to the focal point of my post. Do they face the most uneasy questions from aunties or uncles; basically are aunties more nosier than their better halves (and the media)? My two rupees on this is "YES DEAREST!! THEY ARE!". They are so frigging jobless that they prove the saying "an idle mind is a devil's workshop" to the core. So much so that when we say we fear the society we actually mean we fear "aunties".

I sure am going to face a barrage of questions from the aunties sooner or later on the "bride to be". Questions like "Why are you doing this?", "Where did you meet her?", "Why did you like each other?" or even worse "why did she like you?", "Oh! is she the reason why you dont call us anymore?", "Were those her parents that were there at your brother's marriage?", "Why a brahmin?", "How often do you guys meet each other?", "Why doesnt you mom tell us anything?", "Are you relieved that yours is not the first intercaste marriage in our family?", "Does she have fair skin?". The last question always beats the yellow bulbs outta me. How do I answer that question? Do I tell them that I fu*king dont care what colour her skin is as long as she is beautiful? Or do i ask them why the fu*k do you wanna know? Or does it matter what colour a person's skin is? Or do I just say as a matter of fact she is neither fair nor dark. The time spent answering these questions before my marriage should be really interesting and irritating.

I feel aunties should get a real job for themselves other than cooking. I guess journalism would be great for them.

Deal or no deal?

I have been thinking about this newkiller (nuclear) deal between India and America lately. I have been very confused about this just for the lack of details. This 'nu'clear deal is definitely new but not clear. The Indian Govt. doesnt think it is really all that necessary to go public with its views. The Singh Govt. has been acting like that for quite a while now.

Top Indian scientists and Indian public in general do not want this deal to go through since both in a way feel its a sell out.

Anyways, my main question(s) is, "Is India really interested in producing more power with this civilian nuclear technology deal or does it just want more acceptance in the present day world?". You ask Dr. Singh any question regarding this deal and pat comes the reply "We are acting in the nation's best interests". I guess he learnt this reply by heart perfectly backdoors, probably under Italian tutelage.

Lets comeback to the main question. It's kinda clear from what I gathered from various articles that the total nuclear energy produced wont amount to more than 10% of the country's energy production (not even 10% of needs). So, are we bending over backwards on this issue while holding a begging bowl in the front for something thats not going to contribute much to the nation? While this has been the question floating in many minds in India, its quite the opposite question thats floating in minds abroad. The opposition parties along with the nagging ruling coalition member CPI(M) have cried hoarse to no avail with regards to this deal.

Lets see what is in store for this deal in the near future. Will the US Govt. be able to convince their Congress to pass this? Or will it fail? The US senators are pretty suspicious about the so called third wolrd countries and their growing power. Since they have not read Indian history or know little about India other than outsourcing issues, I am skeptical about them shedding their reservations. How about the NSG? Will they be willing partners to this deal?

DEAL OR NO DEAL???
