I can understand where you are coming from. I am an average middle class. And I have seen both situations as you people are discussing. Just as you are shocked at Meera having kid at 22, there are people who would shocked at not having kid at age of 26-27. 😆
None of my friends were married till we finished masters. We were exactly like you. Shocked even if someone got engaged.
But at the same time, lot of my relatives, distant cousins were engaged during their college, and married after studies. They started their family early.
I would always feel sad for them. More saddened at the fact that their parents don't seem fit for them to be independent. But trust me, most of them are independent now.. working Moms. It is really up to you.
Now when I am at the age of 30, after meeting tons of girls, I just feel, priorities are different. Urban people have different idea of life, non-urban ones have different. It's really a choice at the end. There is nothing shocking.
Some girls have grew up in a way, where they find it's pretty normal to have kids early. And they do raise kids well too. I always judged these girls. Now I don't. Who are we? It's their life. If they feel it's right. Then it's right for them.
They shouldn't be judged, and the same way we shouldn't be judged too who can't think of kids early in their life.
PS -- This thread is extreme though. All Metro City perspective. Moreover ABCD perspective. You guys have no idea how majority of India thinks or lives. 😆 Clubbing might not be in 70% India's checklist if you may know. I have a joint family. But my parents are pretty cool. I have seen both orthodox & free atmosphere. I can tell. You are just thinking One-dimensional. There is a complete different world. 😛 😆
