If you are a girl and you crossed 25 or a boy who crossed 30 years of age, you are going to go crazy listening to your parents insisting on “finding the right proposal for marriage”. Well almost all parents do this. And many surrender to their parents’ wishes to look for a match because as they say, it will take time to find the right boy or girl (and they make you think it might take a year or two). The moment you say “Yes” because you don’t want to be pestered everyday by your parents, you are actually hanging a sword on your own head! You are bombarded with proposals everyday for marriage. Try and say no to every proposal! In no time you are again asked to choose one of those your parent’s shortlist and you are tied down as soon as possible. And the best part is it happens within days. Yes, this is what happens. So, before you say “yes” to look at marriage proposals, know that it is okay to say “no”.
