Arranged Marriages ! LOL

Inspired from real life stories.
For some reason I hate the word Arranged Marriage.
This is for those people hate to believe that marriages aren’t made in heaven,
but they are made in Matrimony.

Steps which lead to it.
1) Register in matrimony
A site where u upload ur bio-data, likes, dislikes, hobbies, time u get up,
time u brush, time u shit..Mere crap.
Come on..its like Online Dating. The only difference between the real online dating and the matrimony dating is that Once you take a step forward in matrimony thingie , u cannot undo it .

2) Horoscope, Rasi, Naksthatra.
In a world where u do not know when u are going to die,
In a world where u do not know when u are going to fall in love,
How can u believe in Horoscope and Its future predictions based on
planetary motions. Funny thing is, people who read these predictions tend to say
"Its right..I am exactly what it says. God is great."
Yeah why wont god be great? He has created a fool who moulds or adjusts his/her thinking to what
a site/person has predicted. The person who knows completely about you is urself.
Start making decisions and stop waiting for Shani to move from 6th to 7th position so that Rahu and Kethu
can come and sit and change ur luck or Stop waiting for the moon to walk away from u so that mercury and some other star come into the act and kick ur ass and make u rich over night.

3) Parents ! Parents ! Parents !
Parents are of two types.
Parent Type 1
They control u right from childhood.
They decide whom to be friends with.
They decide what to eat.
They decide what movies/channels to watch
They decide what kinda dresses to wear.
They decide what to drink and what not to.

They script ur life literally . When it comes to marriage, they will show u a photo and they will ask u to marry her/him.
U cannot escape out of it. The moment u say NO, they will charge up on u saying,
U had no problems all ur life when we decided ur friends, food, fun and clothes, why now ?
That’s it baby... U have no option. All u have to do is say YES.
It doesn’t make a big deal for u, because ne ways all ur life till now was controlled by ur parents and it goes on as usual :)

Parent Type 2

They dont mind with whom we are friends with.
They dont mind what crap we eat.
They dont mind what shady movies we watch.
They dont mind what kinda dress u put on.
They dont mind what u are scoring/drinking.

They have a clear idea of what thr kid is doing, but act as if they have no idea of what
is going on around them.

Wake up all u single/uncommited/commited creatures. U are in the trap.

One Fine day, ur dad will come to u and say "Mom and I have seen a girl/boy in Matrimony. They belong to our religion, caste, subcaste and ur horoscope matches perfectly.
Matched Perfectly? ( Have u trained all the horoscopes to a model called "Perfect matches" ? Is your son/daughter the probe and u find a perfect match for it ?") :P

And here comes the trap. The moment u say NO, Parents would start digging out all the stuff .
Did we ever say whom to make friends with ?
Did we ever say not to eat this and not to eat that.?
Have we ever stopped u from watching such movies?
Have we ever stopped u from coloring ur hair or getting pierced?
Did we ever ask u anything about ur night life?

For all the above questions all u can say is "No, they never asked nething.."
To compensate that they give u this amazing offer.
"All we are asking u to marry the girl whom we like"

Excuse me.."It is me who is going to live that girl/boy all the life. I should like the person. Just because
some stars, rashi and stupid predictions say that we are a good match, I cant risk my life.
Nothing on earth has guarantee, especially love."

When u tend to argue at this rate there are many consequences which take place.

1) Mom starts crying
2) Dad gets short tempered
3) Home ,sweet home feels like hell
4) The food taste's bad.
5) Funny thing is even ur sibling starts to advising u.
5) And the nights are horrible

All these put u in a pressure and to get rid of these set of problems, u tend to say a YES.
U would have said an YES to escape the situation, but u seriously do not know what is going to happen next.

In short all u have said is : "Yes , u can hang me to death."

Yeah, less than 10% of arranged marriages lead to divorcee.
Yeah how can u even think of getting divorced?
Macha/Machi , u have married a person who was chosen by a group of people who love u the most.
The moment u talk abt breaking up, the same group of people will wash ur brain saying
"U gotta adjust. If u break up now, what will the society think of us. We will get a bad name.
Fingers will point out at us saying that we do not know how to bring up our kids."

Who would want to face all this emotional atyachar. So, obviously u cannot expect a huge divorce rate.

Thr is this famous line used by the parents.
Pehle shadi karlo, love apne aap aajayega.
PS : Its love, not a lost puppy which would find its way back to house.

Go out. Look out for the most compatible person. Love someone.. Convince ur parents, at the same time please
use ur senses before loving a person.

Do not just get into arranged marriages just to get a gud boy/girl tag.
Ur parents would be happy if u are happy.
The success lies in the way u convince them.

Few differences between Love Marriages(LM) and Arranged Marriages(AM)

LM : U know the person very well and u are comfortable with him
AM : U have no idea how much time it will take for the couple to get comfortable with each other.

LM : U meet the girl/boy first
AM : U would be the last person to meet the girl/boy

LM : Ur parents may or may not be happy.
AM : U may or may not be happy

LM : Its a lovely marriage, The girl loves the guy and vice versa
AM : Its a forcefully Lovely marriage. Girl acts as though she loves the guy and Vice Versa

LM : U will fall in love with partner and then convince ur parents and family members
AM : Ur parents and family members are convinced with ur partner and u have to convince urself to love ur partner :)

LM : U have decided ur fate.
AM : Somebody decides ur fate.

LM : U marry ur girl/boy friend.
AM : U marry somebody's girl/boy friend

LM : After marriage u should listen to ur partner
AM : After marriage u should listen to ur parents, family , and partner's parents.

LM : Though u are married, u feel single.
AM : Though u are married, u would never feel that u are married.

Ohk..i will stop cribbing.

I personally have seen successful love marriages and disastrous Arranged marriages.
My parents marriage was a love marriage and they are the happiest couple I have ever seen.
I dont say arranged marriages are bad or they dont work. But if u love someone, have the guts to
convince ur parents. U need not sacrifice nething for ur parents. Parents do understand what thr kids want.

PS : I have no problem. I am for love marriage and my dad always wants me to do the same :).

and yeah thr might be few gramatical and spelling mistakes, I m far better than
