Once upon a time, civilization fucked mankind, just a victim.

The marriage drama

You'd want to undergo a sex change operation if you happen to be a female with an
Indian nationality.Of all the things, I'm particularly talking about the 'marriage' part of it '. The very moment you hit 23 you're the burden-on-the-chest kinds,which parents try getting rid of by hook or crook.They'll start their search for an eligible groom, and announce in their entire social circle after which people poke their noses in someone else's life to add spice in their already uneventful life and get 'rishtas' for the girl. Parents want not less than an IIT, IIM combination; with sky touching salaries and a job in international bank to add cherry on the cake. obviously in phase 2 they settle for only an IITian , or an IIM graduate or just a job in a tongue twister sounding company.Now that they have a guy, he'll start looking like Brad Pitt to them and they'll try all ways to get their daughter hooked with him.Late night phone calls,uncalled for meetings, shallow talks are all accepted by parents in this case. Phase 3 is suffering, when everything has happened, and is the decision time, this is characterized by emotional blackmails, fights, irrational arguments, loads of tears and the final stage is the yes/no stage, which can cost lives.I hope the society gathers wisdom at a comparatively faster rate, also I don’t understand arranged marriages, at the end of the day, hes/shes after all, a stranger. Simple rule, if you’re sure you can spend your entire life with someone, get hitched, else stay single. And make sure you don’t need a ‘husband’ for your financial support, in that case, you’d have to marry a stranger anyway instead of staying single :|

p.s. I ain’t 23 :D
