I was having a chat with one of my American colleague this morning. After finishing the normal what's up thing, the brief chat headed towards personal life.

Col: So you have been around this place for quite some time, do you like it?
Me: Ya, I like it very much.
Col: Planning to settle here?
Me: No, I want to go back. What about you?
Col: I got a kid recently and got confirmed in job and I want to stay here. Also planning to get married…

No need to say that I got bowled over though it is common thing here. He noticed that I got a bit staggered with his answer; he just said "My life is in a kind of reverse order, you know”. We smiled and departed. So, for those people who think you'll get kids only after marriage, please change that thought ;-)
