‘Life is a surprise’ I had this tagline as my email id for one of the networking websites!
But now after reaching the quarter life, I can actually understand why is it called like that!
Iguana inspite of being beautiful can never be a chameleon but then they still are happy that they belong to the same breed and someday they might change the fate and fight the norms of the life…
India, the only country believing in arrange marriage and actually practicing it, has driven every generation of youth to go through this madness. Even today, I actually know people who willing stand on the edge of this sword and are willing to sacrifice their lives over it! I understand the gyaan on customs and everything but what’s with not having the freedom to choose their own partner… Someone with whom you would want to share a life with…
CASTE! This word actually has the power to trigger World War III more than Nostradamus ka prediction on Barack Obama triggering the war. Instantly you think why the word caste? Well this arrange marriage system is still prevailing in India only coz of that… Otherwise every third person falling in love would not think that is she Gujarati or Marathi? Why do you have to think this? The other person is someone whom you like… whose thinking you would prefer… someone who you feel for whom you would be awake the whole night!
It’s just a question but if this question has stalled so many lives!
Surprise is that when you love someone irrespective of him/her being from some other caste but later after understanding ‘dunyadaari’, feelings are overpowered by customs and strategized emotions! Life has surprised us by changing our line of thought to follow the path like a blind horse!
