10 Questions I Hate Being Asked

Being curious is no big deal. It’s the basic human nature. But then, there are some questions you really never want to answer but cannot avoid. Being a married girl with a 2 year old kid, many of my hate list questions are from the same background.

Here goes the list…

1. What is your salary? How much do you earn a month?
• It’s none of your business aunt.
2. I speak to my husband about going to my mom’s house and he says – “Why? What would you do there?”
• Come on, you need a reason to visit your mom!
3. What gift do you want for <occasion>?
• I have a straight philosophy. Gift is not a gift if it’s given after asking. Let you mind work, find out my like/dislike or find out what I am looking for these day if you want to give a useful gift.
4. Now when I have a baby, people ask – “So, when are you planning another little one?”
• Are you kidding me? Do I look such a fool to trap myself again! At least not for some years.
5. Amita, your brother/sister/brother in law would graduate this year. Would you help him/her get a job?
• Dear, I myself had to struggle a lot in getting the break. I do not own a company.
6. When is your brother getting married? What kind of girl is he looking for?
• How do I know?
7. When are you getting married, dear?
• This used to be most hated question. Every time some asked me I felt like running away screaming – “Help!”
8. What are your future plans?
• I plan to run away on a never ending vacation. Want to join?
9. When people get to know I am from well versed family – “Why do work?” “Why don’t you stay home and enjoy?”
• Go and lock your daughters/wives/ into home. Don’t bother me.
10. You must be feeling lucky that you have got an understanding mother in law?
• Wonder if she also get to hear the same question. :P
