Okay, so its been pretty long since I have really written a blog post!! There has been much action in life since the past couple of days!
Well, and today I share about a relationship which is the purest relationship in life and binds two individuals for the rest of their lives together. Its about growing old together
and what am I talking about, well, I am talking about marriage!
Yes Marriage!
Today I was sitting at Cafe Coffee day Cannaught place, New Delhi, with a friend and well, I had three families meeting at three separate tables doing what? Well, discussing prospective suitors for marriage! YES! there were three families with smartly dressed fathers, shying away daughters, mothers and the prospective grooms family!
Right opposite to my table was a girl who was probably alone and had come to meet the guys family, who was with his brother and mother. And I could not resist looking at the girls reactions. How she was shying away and fiddling with her hands. How she was both confident and so confused at the same time. How she was looking at future and looking at her present at the same time.
The moment really created with me something which I cannot describe in words, but there was a feeling which said, well, life’s happening right now. There is nothing which is going to come tomorrow! Its all happening in the now. Looking at the reactions of the girl, well, the feeling was kind of overwhelming, which also was like reinforcing the feeling of being responsible at the same time making me a bit unnerving!
India is changing
I always have heard form my parents how they got married when they did not even know each other, and now parents meet at coffee houses, which makes the whole discussion causal and the girl does not have to cover her head wearing a traditional dress and shyly walking in the room where the guys family is present in all force, with tea in her hands.
The whole experience was good to see, as the whole concept of marriage as an institution is taking a whole new shape and people are getting to know and interact and the whole process is about people, its about the realtionship. Its about the bride and the groom and the realtionship together.
And now the coffee ends and I am off for a long drive back home, while thinking in my mind, God Bless the guy and the girl and may they be happy forever!
