arranging a marraige...


Recently we had the opportunity of arranging a meet betn prospective bride(my cousin) n groom… n considering both me n swapna don’t know to arrange one my uncles n aunts had also come up to help… a girl n a guy sittin in betn 10 people n we expect them to talk n ask each other questions related to ‘knowin each other better’… the guy startin shootin questions as if he had a nice long experience in this… which made me doubt wether the guy is choosy or the previous girls rejected him due to some problem… my cousin was the other way round…. May be someone should have taken some classes of Q n A’s for her… but since it was her first time… forgiven… how can 2 ppl know each other in just a meet… I mean knowing myself if I had gone for an arranged marriage the girl would have ran away after comin to know me better…mayb even put a complaint on me for havin a dual personality…… one always presents his/her better side in such cases… aren’t the following questions more important… wht r ur bad habits??? How many affairs u had before??? Do u have any diseases??? Whts ur HIV status??? Are you an MCB or a member of nari mukti sanghatna??? Common if ppl had starting answering such questions truthfully then maybe half of the weddings wouldn’t have taken place… maybe that’s y they don’t ask… n then the best or should I say worst part…waitin for the guy to know his opinion…. Here I was very pissed with my uncles n aunts… they without asking my cousin wether she liked the guy or not stated… ‘lets hope the guy gives a positive report tomm…!!!’ n the moron guy could have just said yes or no… but the moro he was, sent his refusal with an excuse… ‘the girls teeth don’t show up whn she smiles…does she have a prob with her teeth???’ n then we had to pacify my cousin for half an hour after she burst into tears in a K serial fashion….
p.s – expect a short story soon on this topic soon from me….
