Ever since I turned 25, my mom's vocabulary seems to have gradually shrunk. It now consists of only about five words, usually arranged to form this question: "When are you getting married?".
If I had a nickel for every time I've heard the question, I'd be able to afford a mail-order bride. Maybe even I could think about ordering the one who can speak English. :)
Since, mom and others ask the s[h]ame question so often, "When r u gng to get married", I'm tempted to tattoo the answer on my forehead ( yaaa Man, I am bored of repeating thsi to everyone ) : "I'm a programmer, not a Joshyar".
But if I did that, my mom and I would never talk. She'd just look at my forehead and shake her head. And her expression would say: "Where did I go wrong with this child?, Did I dropped him when he was a child" ? :)
Sometimes, just for fun, I feel like scaring my mom by saying I won't get married until one of these things happen:
- Karunanithi and Jayalalitha Join their hands ( comeon, I am speaking about politics not in their life )
- Hanuman Comes and lift our home & farmland and put it in Mauritiuos island.
- 'Final Destination' series comes to an end.
- Ken Starr has Thanksgiving dinner with the Clintons. :)
hehe :P
It's not that I don't believe in marriage. I just believe it should involve two people who love each other so much and they're willing to risk living together.
RISK ???
It's certainly a big risk. If the marriage goes sour, you can lose some of your most prized possessions. and you are in trouble even if there is very small misunderstadning which can create a gap inturn in your interest on it.
But I could be wrong about the importance of love, Because I have not gone past one. After all, millions of people in my native country, India, believe in arranged marriages, even though such marriages sometimes produce
children like me. :)))
The families of the bride and groom usually do the arranging, uniting two people who hardly know each other. They get to meet and talk for few minutes, then to knot :). The honeymoon is like a first meet and talk, which westerners call as date, except you're certain to get past first base.
To many westerners, an arranged marriage may seem more like a deranged marriage. Most of them believe in falling in love and understanding is needed before marriage. Well, some of them beleive more than that too :), For them, The only mystery left for the honeymoon after marriage is that whether the hotel accepts VISA n Mastercard's, Juzt nothing else. lol.
But somehow these marriages tend to last. Divorces in India are as rare as hamburger joints. By Considering these facts, I also decided to go for it, Decided ?.. naah.. I also have to go for it. Its a forced one rather than the decision.
Come on, how many days one will think of the tattoo in head :).
Its Simply the destiny...... Let it roll :)
