I have been hearing this crap called "Any Good News" from everybody like my family and relations, Friends and even from my acquaintances..! I am so fed up of this. I can't express this to anybody because everybody I know ask the same crap question. So writing this post to vent out my feelings and hopefully I feel better after this.
A friend of mine from school Whatsapp'd me and she started talking very casually. Once we reached a point where I had nothing to say but she had something to ask and that was "Any Good News".
ME: what good news are you expecting out of me? (Though I knew what she had in her mind)
SHE: Sent a picture which had two dolls in it.
ME: I am sorry. I still didnt get you.
SHE: She sent one more picture with a baby in it.
I didn't reply post that. It was just an example likewise everybody ask me When are you going to have kids? I am tired of these questions.
I don't really understand why people expect us to share our plans for having or not having kids with them. It is may be Indian mentality that after marriage you should have a baby within a year or so. If you fail to give them any news about this post your first anniversary you're doomed.
Many of friends of my age are still not even married and they aint serious about having relationship either. (The girl I mentioned above is not married as well :D ) I don't know what runs in their heads when they ask such questions. How can people who are educated forget that it is the most personal thing to ask?
I just want to say everybody out there.. before you ask someone "when are you planning to have kids?" Plz get a life and leave them alone.Nobody is seeking your expert advise on planning kids as you're not an expert yourself. Also, Not everyone wants to answer that question (esp I am not comfortable answering such questions). Let them decide when they want to have kids than you guys decide or suggest when they should have. Having a baby in their life is not going to change your life even a bit. Understand that and stop asking such crap question to every married friend of your's.
Just leave them alone.
Dedicated to everybody who asked me about "The Good News"
Thank You.
