"So, beta, what are you planning to do after 12th?" , with that she exposes her dirty yellow teeth (remember the cow?) and grins sheepishly. Well, I'll just play it by ear. Thank you very much.
Every person who has gone through or is going through the what-will-I-do-after-12th phase probably knows (I may be wrong here because there are a few know-it-alls who go about blabbering stuff to anyone who would listen) how annoying it is when auntijis keep pestering each and every family member about your future plans.
Its not the same when you are discussing things with a friend. They won't judge you or ask for your results a nanosecond after they are declared. They won't go about comparing you with some other kid your age. They won't keep pestering you with how-many-hours-do-you-study questions and give looks of shock if they feel its 'below the required amount'.
If only people would stop questioning. Okay, let me put it this way - If only people would stop judging.

u can always counter with 1 of the following-

1. " aunty, actually i was planning to go and buy myself the biggest gun that i could find and go fight the aztec warriors in Antarctica."

2. " aunty, actually i was planning to go and join the zonka-wonka tribe of North-western africa; I heard the women there can have upto 700 husbands in 1 lifetime"
