Yeah, but your wife prays. You're probably the answer to her prayers.
Oooh snap. Hey, maybe my potential future wife is out there praying for me.
I'm agnostic, but have had several spouses. I would fast for 11 Tuesdays if would help your cause, P-C. I could use the fasting and I would tell the universe it was for finding a most excellent potential wife for you. I might mess things up and only repeat the mantra like 9 times and you would only get a so-so wife, so don't get your hopes up too high.
Heh, thanks, Laura, but according to the priest, it has to be me. My mom would have done it for me if she could, but that won't work.
Because clearly I believe I am God and above everyone else.
Just remember the important lesson from Ghostbusters.
Oh, I must be subconsciously preparing for that moment.
I do believe in fairies.
But do you pray to the fairies? I perhaps misphrased my earlier statement: if only I
prayed
to God, I would be married by now.
I'm getting really sick of defending my life on multiple fronts. Next time it comes up, I hope to be able to have the gumption to say, "Look, there is the issue of Why Am I Not Married and the issue of Why Am I Not a Good and Proper Hindu. THESE ARE TWO SEPARATE ISSUES. If you bring up the latter in the context of the former again, I will hang up."
I'm pretty firm in my belief that God is a mythological invisible cloud creature and I'm getting married in January.
Ok. I'm a little misty.
Just notarized a Verification of Domestic Partnership" so that my co-workers partner could be covered under her medical benefits.

And P-C I totally tried to get a girl in my creative writing class for you, but she is not Gujaarti (sp?).

Do you ever fight about your differing religious views?

"Teacup orbiting Jupiter, motherfucker!"
It's possible that will only be funny to me....

Are you two even
allowed
to have children?
I'm an atheist and I've been married and divorced.
PC, my alumni magazine had a brief bit about an alumna with multiple degrees who started a South Asian dating service [link] because of some of the same pressures. You probably already know about it, but, if not, maybe coming up with some other way to show your mother you're making an effort could help, since you still clearly care about her opinion.

Gujarati. And, hey, my mom has already let go of the Needs to Have a Brother requirement; maybe she'll let go of the Gujarati requirement as well.

I haven't heard about that, Ginger! Thanks, I'll look into it.
