Recently, I started watching this serial bade acche lagte hai.. Yeah i don’t watch hindi serials. But I watch this one. Point is not that, point is the tag line of a serial is ‘shaadi ke baad hote hote pyaar ho hi jaata hai’. Interesting, huh? It is definitely and purely talking about arrange marriage. But deep down when i think, why so? Then i get following reasons: is it not because, do u really have choice once you get married? Or do they really develope love between them? Whatever. But they do believe that since we live together now, we should love each other. Good enough until it creates problem.
When I see two different people getting married, frankly speaking I get confused. How the hell are they gonna adjust? What if they don’t at all like that person? What if nothings match between them? And most imp. what if they just want different things from life? Huh.. Do they really get all these questions? I mean when I see girls from my college who used to be very shy while talking to guys and never had any male friend getting married, I get whole lot of question bank in my head..!! First how do they response to such an instant change in their lives? What thinking goes behind taking such a difficult and important decision on their lives? Where is all shyness gone? I can narrow down few answers to these questions: 1. Parent pressure( may be) 2. They always wanted to talk to guys while in college but somehow they couldn’t. 3. They don’t have brains. 4. Physical attraction (natural). But all such girls are hypocrates and I hate them.
So main point is, if u are conditioned to adjust with particular person you start liking and eventually loving that person. ‘Insaan aadat ka gulaam hota hai’ and you get used to that person. And I find this totally unfair. I mean it is like, becuase you didn’t get what you like, you like what you get. :@
It is true once you start knowing that person you feel better and you enjoy that phase. But you should choose that person whom you want to know and be with.
I many times get a feeling after looking at many couples that they are togeter just coz a. Society b. Family c. Self- conscious(optional). If this was not the case then, we would never have had any extra marital affair in our family oriented India. Reasones may be any. And yes, divorce can happen in any damn couple where there is absence of trust, love, understanding & respect. So if all is well or infact if all become well after marriage then bade acche lagte hai couples will become rab ne bana di jodiyaan..
P.S. This is just one aspect of arrange marriage, there no thing as ideal marriage. You have to customize for yourself..
