Dear SriRama,
"people blame a woman's horoscope if something bad happens in a marriage or have problems with ..progeny.... but conveniently tend to ignore the flaws in the husband's horoscope"
This item is unfortunately true and I see it on this site-most of the posters concerned they are Manglik are women, not men. Yet-if you take astrology seriously surely it is bad in both genders? It is not even that big a deal-I have an absolutely LOUSY horoscope where marriage is concerned (and proud of it too) but I am most emphatically NOT manglik! My Mars is my best planet! Most people who are Manglik get married anyway, so why bother worrying about it?
So-back to career-I have a good one and accept that as my karma, and am very happy with my life. I am certainly not weeping and wailing about being single and "child-free" by choice at 53....
Career question from Maharani

Dear Vishnoor,
It can be really tough within the Indian community if you dont want to be married or cant get married:I guess from your post the pressure can be as bad for men as for women.
I have not heard the expression Delhi ladoo before.
You are right in that it has been a steep and almost continual struggle. While I have achieved a lot, all the negative crits over the years sometimes make it seem like its nothing much. Nobody values a life of adventure and discovery, just marriage, kids, a job and a house. And my American friends-who were never pressured to marry-cannot understand my ambivalence now I am free to do as I please.
All I can say is I try to be true to myself and do the things that are right for me. If others disapprove-too bad. If career is my karma, then goddamn it I am going to have a really stellar one. I have to-there's nobody out there whose job is to look after me when I get old..........
