2007 – Official year to get married??

I wonder if I would be overstepping the limits of exaggeration if I say that the year 2007 seems to be the Official year to get married for the Grads of 2001 or more importantly the guys n gals born in the auspicious year of 1980 :)

It seems like pretty much every month I learn about some friend from school/college deciding to take the plunge in 2007. It’s happening with alarming regularity now. Not sure what it is about 2007, maybe it’s the presence of the number 7 in 2007 – considered auspicious by the darn pandit industry,or maybe it’s just the age (26-27) – the time when the parents blow the final whistle – ‘Get Married, would you?’. As Kunal once pointed out to me, the question becomes “Are you married, No? Why not?”

Anyways what’s common among a lot of these friends of mine is the name of their fiances/wives. At least 5-6 of these guys have fiances/wives named Shweta or some variance of the same like Swetha, Shwetha or something similar. Just makes me wonder if Shweta was some popular actress back in 1980 or maybe late 70’s!!

Anyways, here’s to all you guys and their Shwetas /Swethas/Shwethas – Congratulations & Good luck!!
