More snow! After London, where it almost never snows, this is all quite exciting. I'm sure it will get dull quickly, but yay snow.
I think she said she cries herself to sleep every night.
That's what The Girl's father says to her. Situation not dissimilar (although with The Girl it's because she's an evil gay person and that is Not Done In Israel, even though it obviously is). Wishing you peace, P-C. As Amy says, do what makes YOU happy, then at least someone in this situation will be happy. From experience with TG, I'm fairly sure your parents never will be. But you can be. We battle her parents every sodding day, but we're happy regardless.
quester! Nice to see you.
People who set their happiness meter according to the actions of others are doomed to disappointment.
I should not have taken that 3 hour nap at 6:30pm.

It's all fun & games until you hear The White Witch's sleigh bells!

But... but... every production of A CHRISTMAS CAROL, we have a ton of snow falling in the show. Especially the "Turkey Boy" scene. :: shocked ::
P-C, maybe you should start a website intro service for Indian-Americans. An okcupid type of thing, but with all the particular nuances that Indian families are looking for.
It's snowing in London RIGHT NOW!
Yay!
Most London folk in my Twitter stream seem happy about it. Folk in other parts of the UK are less enchanted.
Heh. Londoners don't see it as much. Adventure vs inconvenience. London will start hating the disruption soon enough. Why, why are we surprised *every winter* by the appearance of snow? "It never happens here" is sounding a bit hollow. (Yes, East Midlands Trains, I'm looking at you.)
I think Dickens was writing during the mini-ice age. [link] So a snowy London might have been pretty spot on.
P-C, the buffistas are wise. I hope it helps at least a little.
Seska, where are you and TG living now. I'm starting to plan our big trip to England in May and I definitely want to see both of you.
Polter, your parents' Guilt-Fu is strong. I hope you're not taking it to heart.
If you've never had a relationship before and you don't feel ready for marriage, you're probably not. I think it's unlikely that your parents will ever understand what this means. Am I correct in assuming that their marriage was arranged, the same way they're trying to do for you?
You're right that you should stop resenting the potential future wives on principle, though. It would probably make the inevitable meetings easier to deal with. After all, it's really your parents and this unpleasant process that you resent, not the girls that are being tossed at you (some of whom probably feel pretty resentful, too).
I wish there were an easy way to solve this problem, but there isn't.
