Thou shalt exist in pairs!!

Now when exactly did that occur- the universal expectation that one MUST be mated?? I am perplexed. As a content and mightily happy single woman(divorced, yes)but single nonetheless, I see no rhyme or reason why a single lifestyle has any less to offer.

I am prompted to write this post by stumbling upon a fan site that actually polled its members to see who would marry me! I kid you not. It is an orkut fan site of Alpha Bravo Charlie- and has the following poll

how many people want to marry shanaz khan

- if she is dieworsed------------------------------------------- 2 votes
- diewirsed with 2 children------------------------------------- 2 votes
- in any case u will agry--------------------------------------- 4 votes
- because she is good by nature and stright forward-----------7 votes

after my initial indignation over the incorrect spelling of my name (I am very sensitive about that) (the name is Shahnaz!!!) and my nitpickiness about the spelling in general, I take a closer look at the poll itself.

These are peope who have never met me, do not know me, have never spoken to me or, otherwise, are oblivious to the essence of who me is. Yet 15 people voted!!

In addition it is the categories that made me chuckle.

2 people would marry me if I was divorced! (or dieworsed- am I to assume that to be dieworsed I have to die and then worse... :P)

2 if I was "diewirsed" with 2 children. (so i need to have one more kid?? after which these two can marry me??)

4 would marry me no matter what! (wow!! i like the idea of that. it's like a get out of jail free pass for holy matrimony- those i may actually consider... but one does wonder if they would also stay married no matter what, as in i am not domestic. i would rather not cook, clean, and other such housekeeping sundries).

7 would marry me because I have a good nature and am "stright" forward.

Now they are on target as far as me being straight forward goes. I am honest to a fault. I cannot lie to save my life and unless you can handle the TRUTH don't ask me the question- You may not be very happy with the answer! I like to believe I am good natured... most of the time, okay some of the time at least. I definitely have my moments. I can be completely unreasonable when PMSing (I am allowed that!) I like to b pampered and spoiled. I can be an UBER bitch it's true!... so how does one manage the seven who expect good naturedness indefinitely??

Hmmm 'tis quite a dilemma, I must admit.

It is to date one of the most interesting polls I have snooped through that pertain to me.

Incidentally was also amused to learn of a gentleman who claims he knows me! Not only does he know me, but he very self assuredly states that I am married to one Mr. Mehmood Ali!! So Mr. Mehmood Ali- wherever you are, will you please step forward sir! I need to know who you are. I know I have been distant, see, but it is only on account that I was NOT AWARE we were wedded! Please do make yourself known. I am quite curious as to who you may be!

Any girl can pmsing. Mood swing is part of human's nature. To stay in a clam and warm relationship of husband and wife, both ends should consider such things.

UBER bitch - hummm though hard to bear with but possible.

Mr. Mehmood Ali - nice news. Even Shahnaz did not know it... WHO IS THAT SOMEONE CLAIMING HE KNOWS YOU WELL? He sounds like a JERK. ;-)

Unknown said...

lol... gosh !!!

see if there was a poll for me and it had 7 people who would marry me anyway i most probably would steer clear of them... lol !!!

but then again that is because better than they know me... i know me!

thats the way things work over there. if u r not married thats a problem. if u r married with no kids bigger problem. if married but divorced thats devastating. divorced with kids catastrophic. i am glad living here i dont have to deal with all that crap.

Hi Shahnaz, can u tell me from where i can get the show of ABC, i have ABC in dvd, but show is not included in these dvds, and second thing is, why u don't attend that show? i remembner that!

Shahnaz said...

Haroon,

The show is on Youtube. I was not there because I was flying out the day that they recorded it! And the days prior to that were busy with my weding and honeymoon- I had the option of having my (then) hubby (now ex!) be present- also but we had other plans that were more pressing ;) (and besides the ex hubby did not want to do the show! I was a supportive wife...) so there....

Anonymous said...

Plz, let me to say that "a supportive wife divorced"
Alas!

Unknown said...

Hi Shahnaz,
A moment ago I was watching Faraz (Nadia Khan Show GEO TV) on YOUTUBE. He mentioned that he is in contact with you and Abdullah. And my search on google for you started just after watch NKS.

First of ALL I thank you and ALL ABC team for giving us joy over last decade. Perhaps ABC in some way or the other had helped me to think positive in tough times.

Secondly as a FAN of yours I wished you a happy married life. Because I heard that you got married just after marraige. I hope you and your family are leading a happy life

Please keep writing the blogs for all Pakistanis. I hope your personality is closer to the SHAHNAZ I saw on ABC. Though she was too good to be true but I wish all Pakistani Females to be as sincere and confident as SHAHNAZ I saw on ABC.

I cant comment on your latest blog because I dont know you and I believe in marraige and complete family.

Keep writing, be happy and GOD bless you.

SMBMRIZVI
(wow!!! cant believe SHAHNAZ would be reading this)

Haha
I would marry you too becoz you are the age of a girl I fell in love with :P but you girls go for older men :P

No issues with being not domesticated. I wouldn't like anyone messing with my closet and things anyway. I like the bed messy ;-) so that's taken care of. Whatever I want to be clean and tidy I can do myself if no one else does. But I can't cook. So you'll have to cook. I can help you with the dishes though.

Divorced. That's a plus because you'd appreciate me more :P
Divorced with a kid. Awesome! I am getting a kid without the sleepless nights babies give their daddies. But I might want a couple more :P

Unreasonable. You can be as unreasonable and PMS-ed as you want as long as you keep talking to me. Can't stand punitive silences. They totally squashes my heart.

What say? :P

Shahnaz said...

what's in a name...
lol you're quite something aren't you?

okay here goes:

Haha
I would marry you too becoz you are the age of a girl I fell in love with :P

My response: so it is my age that attracts you and not me???? :P

but you girls go for older men :P

My response: hardly... i have no problem going for men my age or younger ;)

No issues with being not domesticated. I wouldn't like anyone messing with my closet and things anyway. I like the bed messy ;-) so that's taken care of.

My response: that may be a problem, see... i like to mess up the bed but when not in it that bad better be made! happiness is being (just a little) obsessive compulsive.

Whatever I want to be clean and tidy I can do myself if no one else does. But I can't cook. So you'll have to cook. I can help you with the dishes though.

My response: done! i HATE doing dishes. i'll cook up a storm if someone cleans- and chats with me while i cook... i am a talker.

Divorced. That's a plus because you'd appreciate me more :P

My response: either that or I'd refuse to put up with any crap because, after all, been there done that before ;)

Divorced with a kid. Awesome! I am getting a kid without the sleepless nights babies give their daddies. But I might want a couple more :P

My response: lol.. that one was kinda sweet.

Unreasonable. You can be as unreasonable and PMS-ed as you want as long as you keep talking to me. Can't stand punitive silences. They totally squashes my heart.

My response: wow! i think you must be my soul mate :P
i LOVE to talk!

What say? :P

My response: done deal. when and where?

(i really enjoyed this one!)
Keep visiting "name"
you had me in fits of laughter. that's another thing i LOVE to do... laugh!

peace.

Anonymous said...

Hey Guys!
