Life has been a bit hectic for me for the past few days, especially in office. On the personal front nothing much happened that was worth mentioning except for the fact that I am now officially into the marriage market. We went to meet a prospective bride yesterday. I therefore need to prepare myself for an important and major change in my life. I always feel there is a bit of gambling in marriage, more so in case of arranged marriage. I have to depend on arranged marriage as till date I could not find someone with whom I could emotionally attach myself. Probably I didn't seriously look for one, but whatever the reason, I'm still single and ready to mingle ;) and since my family is now quite seriously looking for my partner, I might soon loose the single status.
Thinking about marriage, I sometimes get goose-bumps in my stomach. Just think of it. Two people, probably unknown to each other till a few days back, suddenly become the most important person in each others life and hand in hand fight the battle called life. Your upbringing is different, your family values vary, you way of looking at life and its countless pleasures and problems is different, sometimes drastically, yet you need to bond together. If you do not gel, your life might easily turn into hell. There is no art to identify a person’s characteristics in just a few meets, at least there are none that I know of . .
So for me marriage is a gamble. What do you think?
Marriages are made in heaven . .
