“I can’t marry someone
whom I have met only once or may be twice.”
“Love marriage obviously
but I’m afraid if my parents would second my thoughts.”
“Love marriage is the
way to go!”
“Arranged marriage
sucks!”
I’m sure most of us
would have heard these lines many a times. Love marriage vs Arranged marriage,
it is easily one of the most talked about topic. Almost every one of us would
have found ourselves as a part of this never ending discussion at least once. It’s
a common topic of discussion among the most happening breed of people in our
country- “ BACHELOR’S.” So, what conclusion you drew once the discussion is
over? Love marriage? Ok, at least 70-80 percentages of us have seen the people
around us favouring Love marriages over their counterpart, right?
If you ask me, almost
every time this debate (Yes, a debate! We don’t do discussions in India. Be it
parliament or a group discussion for interview, we only do debates) end with a
result tilted more in favour of love marriage. They say love marriages are made
in heaven. Ahh.. so cute no? God, himself has found an angel for me. I’m what? Son of god?
I would like to share a
small story before moving further. I have this friend who got married around two
years back. Theirs was a love marriage. They met during our MBA days (We three-
me, my friend and his wife were classmates). It was not late when they fell in
love. Soon, both of them decided to leave the hostel and moved into a separate
two room flat together. They were happy because now they were able to spend more
time together. And I was fumed because he
didn’t have any time for me now.
