On Marriage

This too is an uncharted territory for the silly prophet. Yet, the silly prophet ventures into it to present to you some facts he's found. Hmm! where do I start? Let me start with some of the non-dictionary meanings of marriage.

Marriage - one of the best things that could happen to you (not necessarily applicable for men), it happens (a not so interesting but, inevitable eventuality), EOL (end of life if you consider being single as being alive), a lifetime of joy (only for people who know how to share a TV), crap (crap).

There are two prime time ways of getting married, atleast in the Indian context - the arranged and the love marriages. Though, the post marriage life ends up being similar in both cases, there's a hell lot of difference in the actual ritual itself ...

(Oh! Did the silly prophet mention that he's been inpired by Vikram Seth and the likes recently?)

Both the bride and groom are too young of age,
you can almost be sure it's an arranged marriage.

There's festive atmosphere everywhere,
there's groups of people chatting here and there.

The bride's dreaming of the moon to be shown by the honey
while the honey is thinking of the bridal property and money. :)

Both of them know they are taking a chance,
but, they intend to do a lifetime's dance.

The love marriage too has it's share of dancing,
atleast, there is no bride groom's prancing.

Both parties come in with a vow,
to share life and not to swerve.

Fall in Love or let someone arrange,
life's about to derange. :)

Think through issues to a finish,
past troubles are the moments you will cherish.

Consider yourself very lucky once you take a stance,
for, not all get to do the hearty dance,
not all are willing to take a chance.
