Matrimony Monologues

Amongst the few most significant moments of our lives,our first job,our first kiss,the day we get married,our promotion,the day your first child is born,the one that makes you go weak on you knees,wobble the same feet,that might have delivered many a sales presentations to the Forbes 500 clients,is your wedding. Dude,how can you say that? Its the time to celebrate,to get a feel of the next big thing of your life,two great familes come together,and history is created! Well all said and accepted but what we tend to forget thatthere is more to getting married than giving your close ones a chance to rejoice. Lets face it,if you're born and brought up in India,(where unfortunantely Pati Vratha and dowry is still are still very much alive and kicking),you don't get married just for getting married. You embark on a journey expected to lasta few generations. If such is the case,why do we need to force people into getting married,just when they just start getting on the latter side of 20's? Isn't it supposed to be a thing of greatest importance to the couple who get married to each other,who have to stand by each other,live upto each others expectations? No,I'm not a crusader to the cause of the millions still searching for their soulmates. Neither am I being inducted into it.Its really strange if you ask me about this whole situation,you definitely need to be sure of the person,you're gonna get hooked to for life. Well,one of my bestest friend,Arvind is tying the knot this February. Never before have we had the same thoughts previously. What is life like when after your marriage? How much space do you really have? Do you actually becomeresponsible and mature overnight? Does your equation with your friends remain the same? That's something we call as speculation,something which never really leads to any conclusion,coz its best to have life takes its own course of action.......
