Hello Friends...
It was quite a difficult decision to narrow down on first title for my blog...yet I decided to start with something which is most common yet most sensational issue for young generation...
....................."GETTING MARRIED"...................................
I'm sure most of us will agree ( some openly/some anonymously but will ultimately agree....) that the decision to get married is without doubt the most sensational issue of their life...for those who haven't felt any sensation while getting married, I'm sorry to say that you definitely have been forced into marriage against your will.... the reason why I termed it as a sensational issue, because there are lots of teasings, consolidations, motivations associated with this auspicious occasion which are often forcefully termed as cherished happy moments of your life... click click and click... done... photographs released...uploaded on facebook/orkut...inviting comments from those 'Junta' who being stationed at long distance & have'nt been able to witness your marriage.. Ofcourse the ultimate purpose of this gathering is to create as many witness as possible... yeah ..now no one can question our relationship... !!! yahooo....
Elders term it to be a most critical stage of a person's life when man loses his bachelor's and girl is happily allowed to gain her masters.. and that's true... I remember one incident...when I came to study abroad, most of my friends used to say... Gori ke sath shadi kar liyo... and my relatives use to say.. beta papa ke liye bhi ek Gori dhoond la... but the ugly truth is... I have heard those gentlemen saying with low tone...ek to aage sambhali nahi jaati...gori lekar bankrupt hona hai kya !!!! this whole process of losing and winning yet again coincides with a game where either one has to win... (what really happens later is not the subject of discussion..)
Friends and well wishers play their part with dedication... they try to console you but are there to make fun @ your very back... shouting furiously "" heyyyy one more wicket down..."" ...you have no other option than to smile on such a comment and with heavy heart you are forced take it as a compliment... deep inside your heart you wanna yell ... "f*@%^" teri shadi hone de...phir dekh tera kya haal karta hoon !!!
Afterall friends are meant to pull your leg... and especially on this auspicious occasion you unwillingly have to offer your both legs... seriously no one is there to help !!! Some of them would be throwing puzzles....like " tujhe pata hai ki Dulhe ko log Ghodi pe kyun bithate hain... Ghode pe kyun nahi" (do u know why groom rides a Mare..and not a Horse) ...audience would ofcourse say BIG NO having heard this strange puzzle for first time in their life...feeling pity on their poor general knowledge, you will yourself say...okay i tell u... " coz ghode ko to pata hai ki dulha halal hone wala hai, woh to usse lekar bhag jayega, ghodi nahi bhagegi" (because horse knows that groom is going to hell, so it will fled with you.. Mare wont do this because genetically she is related to bride) ...and next few moments would be the realistic version of 'LOL' often used in chats...
Oh yes...I forgot there would be some friends who are already married... they would be trying to motivate (better say console) you... " you will hear... arre ghabra mat...kuch nahi hota... dekh we are happily married" ...but the core truth is different...being in love and married does not mean that everything is perfect..it means that you have decided to look beyond imperfections for rest of ur life !! and honestly... they are trying to say this with heavy hearts........
I remember reading some funny comments on FB recently.. few of my friends were posing for a pic with newly wed couple.. one of the guy was popular for jumping around and doing crazy things.. click...picture posted... now after few days same popular guy appeared in another marriage...but with better half... and there he was sitting peacefully... and the aftermath of comments..
" #1 yeh to tik ke nahi baith sakta tha.. ab kya hua isko...
#2 abe isko lagam jo lagi hui thi..."
hehehe... so funny comments... feel pity on these guys... but honestly same things gonna happen to me, you and everyone else...once u decide to get married mate.. make sure you have programmed your mind to automatically detect virus (such comments) and flush them out like most of anti-virus do these days..but honestly they are never so reliable enough (like most anti-virus softwares) because some of the viruses (comments) will re-declare the popular saying " pathar pe lakeer" on your mind... yeah..no doubt for rest of ur life... enjoy !!!!
oh yes...there are still other well-wishers remaining...your beloved relatives.. even if you don't like them, still you have invited them to show off that you guys are still in good terms... who knows kya khicdi pakk rak hai andar se...lol... now important thing to notice is the way they pose for pictures... The gentleman will take out a 500 rupee note...wife will show frowning eyes and that 500 rupee note will get converted into a 100 rupee note... thats a activity called " Vaara-feri" that you swing the note around the couple and give it to some relative waiting on the side of stage to collect it...( honestly have'nt been able to discover the truth behind it.....who cares...lol )
They will pose with sweet smiles and kids if accompanied will sit on arms of the comfortable cushioned chairs meant for bride and the groom..ofcourse to squeeze the space and let the couple appear more closer in picture... ..those kids don't understand that intimate moments few hours later in so called suhagraat will be much closer... ;-) .... )
Have I missed anyone guys... ohh yes... our beloved families... girl's and boy's family... two nations becoming one... two families becoming one... its like two boxers in ring (Bride & Groom) but their coaches have been swapped... so neither of them can win now...as strategies have been swapped... Girl's mum will be showing more affection/love for Groom..same way Girl's Saasu maa will be showing affection towards her Bahu... " kyunki saas bhi kabhi bahu thi"....
Father's are the real cool chaps.. they are'nt bothered much... coz they have already drowned few Glassi's to make sure that they forget the huge amount they have spent on marriage... I strongly believe that Insurance companies should roll out a new product... "Marriage Income plan" in order to pay out for anything spent lavishly beyond the set limit...(as it often happens)...
So guys photo-session is now declared to be over... now Bride-Groom will proceed for their personal photo-session... hath mein hath lekar... hugging each other ... to treasure the most expensive and once in lifetime occasion...
Friends (Bachelors) and well-wishers have either proceeded to the Dinning hall or Bar to get full advantage for the money the have spent on gift's/ or enclosed Lifafas....Needless to mention..they are also trying to find some pretty girls they can become friends with... as this is a occasion where Ashiqui is permitted openly... so who the hell is dumb to miss such a wonderful moment...married couples are busy eating in one plate to show that they still love each other days after their marriage...
Relatives are too busy gossiping about each other's dilemma.....ladies are busy discussing about jewellery, sareers, and their favourite soap-operas...Men are busy discussing effect of recession, business and other stuff... and kids are running here and there as if they have'nt seen such a huge playground before... Some relatives are even dancing on the dance floor showing off their POOR dancing skills....their bhangra's or break-dance seem to break their hips which are doing too much extensive Thumkaas....
Its late in night... rest of the formalities of "Saat Fere" are yet to be completed before the Dulha-Dulhan can be offically declared married...
Sun is eagerly waiting to Dawn..to mark to beginning of new phase of couple's life...leaving past amazing memories you gonna cherish for ur lifetime...
with this..i'm done...
see you in my next blog...
which would be little more interesting...revealing more sensational issues touching ur life
ur's truly.........
Kunal
