When i told one of my friends - Hey i like someone .. we're seriously planning to get engaged.. gotta speak to my folks. He says with a big alarming voice -'' HEY WAIT ! .. how long do u know each other ?? only 3 months ?? y don't u wait n reconsider before going ahead.. ''
But the same if i had told him , my parents have seen a guy fr me . his reaction would have been entirely different - ''wow ! really ? tats a grt news ! what's he doing ? ..when is the marriage? .. don't wait for long, get married soon .. blah blah .. ''. Irony is ppl are fine with the fact that i wud be ideally getting married to a total stranger ; but they have a hitch if i wanna join hands with a person i know fr more than 90 days ... what the heck ??
yeh kahan ka logic hai bhai ??
Haha... I know. I totally agree with what you say, the only thing people still think is safe in an arranged marriage is - the Family Backup. What they do no understand is - only a good family is not a guarantee for a Good Spouse. Love marriage is a little risky unless u know the guy well.... Family will not back u up and u cannot demand thier backup.
ReplyDeleteHaving an arranged marriage isn't any different. In both the cases we never really know the person until we live under the same roof and over a period of time.
Elame therinju thalaya kudukradhu dhan :P
Life has to go on..... so one does take this calculated risk :) - MARRIAGE!
