Q. We weren’t invited for the Ambani wedding. Does that mean we haven’t arrived?
A Ha ha. You and I were not also invited in so many weddings or festivities. I wonder why you should suffer from a FOMO syndrome. I have a different syndrome —JOMO— Joy of Missing Out. Please don’t interpret it as a grapes-are-sour syndrome. My personality type at this juncture is that I love aloneness, serenity and bliss. May be I have realised the significance of my insignificance.
Besides, LIFE is also so beautiful outside a marriage programme. I would have missed all that.
Finally, an invitation list is a prerogative of the organisers. So, the jurisprudence of civility demands that no one can question the same. And I don’t have such a finite definition of “arrival in life“ concept, when one doesn’t know when the exit door would appear. So, enjoy the bliss of life.
