WHO, WHEN and WHERE.....

These days bit busy on weekdays. But I end up being more busy on weekends also. I had attended a engagement last weekend and have to attend one more this weekend. Both arranged marriages. Sometimes i really feel weird about the marriage process in India.

In US culture, couple will start a relationship as friends and then they will date for years. After doing everything and knowing each other very well they end up deciding on marriage. Even after knowing each other well and being so extra careful in their decisions they end up getting divorced couple of years later.

But in India, Boy meets a girl for half an hour ( If they are lucky and their parents are liberal, then they will get some time together..). After analyzing all the data that he/she has collected in that half an hour of their meeting, he is expected to take a decision in no more than one day. They will not get a chance to see each other till engagement is over. So its nothing less than deciding to spend your life with a stranger. Whole process looks so weird. But Guess what, India has least number of divorces. Also according to some international survey, Indians are most satisfied with their Married life.

I can remember a suggestion from a relative. Marriage is just a compromise, More compromises we are ready to make, More happily and peacefully we can live.

Deciding to get married with someone will be the toughest decision in anyone's life. For people who are in love, "WHO" will be obvious. They have to just decide on "WHEN" and "WHERE". For rest of us, this big question will always be there. WHO? And the Hunt will be always ON.

Some weird feelings...

That weird feeling came today as well. While shopping in a mall today, I suddenly felt that whatever is happening has happened before ( Even though I don't remember when that has happened ). For a while I felt someone has pressed a rewind button in my life and things are happening again. Then I tried to think of what's going to happen next ? Just felt that will get to see a girl with yellow top round the corner ( Its true that I always feel like getting to see a girl round the corner ). Guess what? There she was. But only difference is that she was wearing a pink top :(

I don't know whether everyone around me have that weird power to get such feelings. But its true that I had been through this many number of times. Sometimes I wonder has this thing happened before or its just that I knew the future.

Nothing much happening in life these days. Working like donkey for 5 days and then sleeping for remaining two days. Just finished with movie 9/11 Fahrenheit. Double thumbs up for director michael moore. Its just a documentary about bush's administration. I did not knew that Bush was on vacation for 42% of time as a president till 9/11. Must watch for all.
