Then the question was popped (The Wedding Chronicles (1))

Nah.....

Dont get misled by the title. I didnt pop the question. My mom did......Lets see how the conversation went.....

Mom : Will you take that thing off your ears and listen to me for a while????????

Me (chatting on gtalk with a friend on my laptop and at the same time watching a movie on the desktop - with headphones) : Hmmmm.........

Mom : Are you listening?????

Me (lending half an ear) : Hmmmm..........

Mom : Shall I get you married next year?????

Me (lending all my ears) : No

Mom : What about the year after that????

Me : Hmmmm.......

Mom : Do you want me to search or will you do it yourself???? If you find someone yourself then we will have no objections at all to whoever it is. You can marry who you want - no restrictions.

Me (thinking after all who has the time and resources to spend on searching) : I dont care. You can find Her yourself......

Mom : Are you sure????

Me : Yeah.....no time for all this

Mom : Ok then I will take your requirements next year before starting a search......Is that ok?

Me (thinking of how requirements and deliverables never match) : Lets see......

And I went back to the movie I was watching. The work breakdown has been done - my parents will search and I will marry. Zero'th order estimates taken and the wait has begun.
