obviously lily, it is your life at the end of the day. we are just expressing our opinions here.
i was also hell-bent about love at your age. then one day my college friend proposed his female classmate. technically speaking, they were not in love. both are nice people. their love story began after marriage. a couple of years ago my cousin also selected a girl for himself ( mutual selection but they did not love each other before marriage ) and they love each other madly now. this observation has changed my outlook dramatically.
kilt is also worn by south Indian people. the fabric which can be found in southern states of India is a little thinner than that of the traditional kilt.
your relatives are worried ( about your marriage ) because they love you. they know that your bio-clock is ticking fast. statistically speaking, it is far more risky to conceive after thirty.
love is not necessary ( in the beginning ) for a happy marriage. these days most people are brainwashed by hollywood movies and are in love with the concept of "artificial ( silver screen ) love". given enough time any two nice people can fall in love. you should not make any haste to find out or select the nice person ( financially stable and a man of integrity ).
do not under-estimate those so called "below average" inventions as they are changing the life of millions. the government of India acts as the venture capitalist in such cases and provides the necessary incubation. perhaps the most weird ( ? ) of them is the floating soap.
i was fortunate to have a childhood and also a teenage free of computers, internet, mobiles, tablets, mp3 players, debit and credit cards, electronic blackboards, biometric entrances, television ( it was available but not bought ) and wot not.
just like the quality of goods, the air we breathe, and every other possible thing on earth have deteriorated - the quality of people ( both men and women ) have also degraded. the use-and-throw culture of electronics goods have poisoned our bloodstreams and not to mention the mass media brainwashings ( be the perfect man / flawless beauty ) and also the public ( innocent young minds ie teens ) ritual of aping the apes ( read celebrities ). we have become less laborious than our parents and we are not ready to give a relationship its dues. facebook, twitter, and hypersusage of mobiles have kidnapped all the love, time, and warmth from us. another reason is today's pampered generation is usually the only child of their parents and hence they do not know "sharing is caring" or words like adjustment and empathy ( this is indeed a generalization but i have seen it valid in most cases ). period.
there are self-centred men. there are selfish women too. i will not go into that debate or blame game or whatever. i am disagreeing ( and that too for the sake of an intellelectual discussion ) on "bears children for you". a woman does not have a baby just because her husband wants it. she wants to enjoy motherhood too.
i also do not agree with "pregnancy destroys her body, she gets fat". such statements project wonderful events like pregnancy in a negative light which is totally illogical and unjustified.

RE: the one
if you are having that feeling then you have still a lot time to spare, imho. ask your boss to give you more work and a raise!
