 Want to go to heaven? You must get married!
 Even if you don't want to get married, you still must get married!
  
 Want to live or die? You bloody well have to get married!!
  
 They're born to get married, they live to get married, they eat and shit to get married, they even die just to get married!
  
 So you got married. Phew! Think you're saved now?
 No way, brother! The world ain't that eeeeeasy! Muhaaaaaa...ha!
 Now if you want to do any of the above, you have to have babies! Take that blow!
  
 Understand the situation! The marriage is yours, the life is yours, the bed-sheets-pillow are all yours, yet they can't sleep! The baby that they have absolutely no role in creating from start to finish—they can't sleep waiting to see that baby either!
  
 After marriage, they'll keep staring at your belly, wondering: is that a baby in there? Or is it kacchi biryani? Or is the belly bloated from gas? Or is that just a paunch?
  
 This is why sleeping pills sell so well in this country!
