This post is in accordance to one of the posts i read on my friend's blog....call it a solution...call it a counter post..call it anything....doesnt matter really...
The situation goes like this...
The frnd and one of her collegues are in an argument over the Indian concept of arranged marriage....the collegue being of foriegn nationality cant digest the very concept of arranged marriage....as to why people marry some unknown guys altogether,,,someone they dont love..worse in some cases some one they dont like at all....wat if in some point of life u find some good looking countergender n begin to fall for him....how n most importantly why shld u restrict urself against him for sum unknown stranger u hav married....the argument seems ace.. unarguable right?? well, not really....
And in the defence of my client I say....
Ever been to any hill station???esp in winter???wat do u see?? u see nothing....the fog of the winter, is beautiful...soothing...pleasent nevertheless blinds u...'falling ' in love is the same..initial phases of relationship are fogged with the winds of lust..u find the fog excititng but it abides u from seeing the bigger picture.....under the influence of the fog u take your steps wherver they they may lead to...when the fog resides, its then tht u r able to see the whole picture...u know if have gone horribly wrong(90% cases) or tht u have found someone for life(still the rest 10% arnt sure of tht)....the fog might take months or even years to precipitate but sumday it does n its tht time tht really matters...
Arranged marriages...i defend the only marriages which are decided on basis of astrological charts....are exactly the opposite....with astrology as its right wing, knows exactly wat will happen after the lust takes the back tier...will the horizon be still beautiful....will it last till end??it knows it all..its a science tht matches the stars.....accept it or not...astrology is a science n no matter how much u say stars have got nothing to do with ur life n ur life is independent of them..these guys, they silently rule ur world...
Arranged marriages asks these big bosses where the couples life will exactly lead themselves to....they make sure tht though u r strangers in this phase, u ll like each other in the next and probably love in the one next to tht...they wont help u suppress the bickers but will make sure u ll still hold each others hands after u r done with them...tht ur mental frequency matches...ur thoughts n habits counterpart the others...as said by Miss Linda Goodman for the cappy's....it may not fly u to Paris in the spring of love but it may take you to see the Taj Mahal by moonlight forty or fifty years later...i hope u get my point...
In the contrast,Western world has always banked on chances while the eastern esp India has relied on security....its in our genes.....take it love, economy...education(the field where westerns are free to pursuit anything while Indians have to go b a path chosen,well mostly)...anythng at all...when its good its cool....but when it goes wrong, its a disaster(a.k.a. recession)...while for us its an insurance, insurance against a rainy day, insurance against loneliness and insurance against the blows of a sordid, ugly world(Miss Goodman's words again)...a pair may not be made but surely jugded by the heavens...
Hence even if i dont turn away my head from the love marriages, i firm my stand over arranged ones...
And as i review my post.....there's only one song i can think of one song.... Carnival of Rust...
Come feed the rain
Cos I'm thirsty for your love dancing underneath the skies of lust
Yeah feed the rain
Cos without your love my life ain't nothing but this carnival of rust.....
