Love is a Game of T20 Cricket..!!

In recent times, T20 Cricket and love marriages are considered to be among the hottest topics in India.
Anti-National and presstitute for sure top the list, but in this post we'll talk about the next two and see how they are related to each other.

PowerPlay (First six overs)
In a T20 the first six overs are where you can score the most, but you have to play smart otherwise you can end up losing your wicket.

Similarly the starting phase of a love life is where one of the partner, mostly the boy, tend to exhibit his skills and score the most i.e. try to impress the girl in the best way he can.
It is the time when he takes risks, couple of good dates (overs) can make him win the girl’s heart, but one mistake can also get him clean bowled.

Mid Overs (From 7 to 15)
In T20 this is the time to build a partnership and lay the foundation for a scintillating victory.
You need to be focused, have patience, bear pain, stay at the crease and keep on trying hard to get the score ticking. Also this is time when you reach milestones and cherish those awesome moments.

In love life also this is the most crucial time. After confessing your feelings to each other and starting a new relationship, it is very necessary to build the foundation for next 2-3 years until you become sure that he/she is the person you want to marry.
There will be crazy fights, sleepless nights and unbearable pain but you have to be at the crease thinking about the milestones your relationship has achieved and living those superb memories spend together.

Final Overs (16-20)
In T20 the final overs are where you need to hold your nerves and use your experience to setup a winning total. Here it is not your caliber but mostly the circumstances that make you lose the match.

In the same way in a love life when the partners are sure about spending their life together, the game goes to final overs when the families pitch in. You need to hold your nerves when convincing them because they will for sure make it really hard for you. Also blame it on circumstances but in some cases, the relationship comes to an end because of them. Things are not in your control and you can’t do anything about it.

The conclusion
Be it T20 Cricket match or love life, once you win, there is a sense of satisfaction, relaxation and accomplishment. You become emotional and thank god for supporting you at the right time.
Also there is lot of love and care, in T20 it comes from fans and in love life it comes from your soul mate.

A modern day love story

It is just a piece of fiction, don't blame my gf for it...

How I wanted to live with her forever but suddenly my love was dead and so was I...

Life after becoming a husband but before a father..

It is alway said that a woman has to leave her family & shift to a new place after marriage.
She has to adjust according to the customs and rules of her new family.
Very true..!!! Totally agree..!!!

But a guy also has to bear lots of responsibilities after marriage.
He is the mediator between his gf turned wifie, or if its arranged marriage than only wifie and his family.
Also he has to balance his professional, personal life with wife and the rest of his personal life.
And the biggest responsibility is to give everyone happy, whether its wife, parents, wife's parents,
his relatives, wife's relatives, his friends, wife's friends and the list is quite long...

My imagination of how life of a man is after he becomes a husband but before a father.

Take it with a pinch of humor, no offence intended...:)

Life after you are pronounced a father....coming soon :)

When two bloggers tie the knot - Part II (A lot can happen in a bloggers meet)

As Aryan was new to Mumbai's life so it took him sometime to settle down and get acquainted with it's fast life.

Getting an accommodation near to office and finding a good foodhub or tiffin centre were the initial challenges. Though he was saved from travelling in the overcrowded local trains but travelling in local best buses too was not an easy job.

Within a month he and his friends got a 1 bhk at a reasonable price, that is what their broker said.
Broker are angel of gods who are born to help the immigrants of Mumbai by charging a very minimum amount every year, which is a month's rent for their goodwill dead.

The only good thing about the flat was the society where it was located which had some hot girls, food junctions nearby and a bus stop right infront of it.
After living in a 1200 sq feet house with your parents if you have to share a flat of half the area with 3 other people, definitely cause a lot of pain in your ass.

Most of the low profile bachelors flats in Mumbai are not only congested but also dirty, messy and broken at places and Aryan's flat was no exception.
Within a month he got settled in the new home, got a tiffin service for food and also learned how to get his foot in the best buses.

For couple of months he was more focused on his new job.
Understanding the fundamentals of the project, his team members and the manager was his initial task. He didn't face much problems as he was an intelligent soul with a jolly nature.

Soon after setting his foot in the office he was ready to explore the blogging community of Mumbai.
After exploring a lot over internet for a day he came across Indiblogger & Blogadda, two of the biggest blogging communities of India which had maximum bloggers from Mumbai.


Without wasting any time he filled all the registration formalities and waited for the approval mail.
Blogadda was quick in its process and provided the approval within a day.
Indiblogger took an approx 3-4 days to give it's nod.

So within a week Aryan was part of the biggest blogging communities of India. He was excited to meet & interact with new bloggers but at the same time a bit nervous as he was just a novice without a godfather.


It was the mid of the year 2013 and both the communities were high on contests but a bit low on blogger's meet, specially when it came to Mumbai.
Aryan tried his luck in some of them but failed to win a prize in any of them.
Though he didn't won a prize but he won the heart of some readers who left comments on his posts applauding his work.

He was not kept disappointed for a long time as Indiblogger announced the "Reliance Digital meet"
in association with Reliance Digital Stores across Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore and other cities across India.


Aryan was on cloud 9 as this as his first bloggers meet.
The were 3-4 stores in Mumbai from which Aryan selected the one in Infinity mall, Malad.
Soon he got an invite mail from Reliance Digital to visit their store on the predecided day.


It was the meet day and Aryan was dressed up for the event.
He had interacted with few bloggers online and was excited to meet them in person.
Travelling in Mumbai locals was a pain and he was not used to it.

Mumbai local is a magical vehicle in which you can get in and get down without applying any efforts. It can make a cool, fresh and energetic person, stinky, frustrated & tired like hell.

Anyways Aryan somehow managed to reach the destination in one piece,
On reaching the Reliance Digital Store he could recognize some of the faces he had interacted online.

An hour later Aryan was part of a bloggers group which included Steve K, Vrutika Mishra, Ajay Bagaria & Abhinav Iyer to name a few.
There were lot of bloggers flowing in and out but none of them could seek his attention until he saw someone known to his group.

She wore a cute smile, had brown eyes(later Aryan came to know that she wore lenses), a figure girls die for and nice dressing sense.
Everyone went to greet her and so did Aryan.

She introduced herself as Madhvi Mishra.

Finally after clicking pics of each corner of the store when all the bloggers were satisfied that they had more pics than others to win the first price which was an iPad, the group left for lunch.

Aryan and his blogger friends found a table in McD of the mall itself to have something.
He took the corner seat and was having a conversation with Steve K when someone called his name.
Madhvi Mishra wanted to exchange places with him for no good reason was what was communicated to him.

Aryan couldn't understand the motive behind the exchange of seats but he had no option as Madhvi was craving for it like anything. He thought about her mental state and gave a second thought to the first impression he had of her.
Later in 2014 he came to know that it was because her top was small from behind,we will come to that part afterwards.

So finally when everyone was settled, Farzana H didn't like anything in McD and wanted to go somewhere else. After lot of chaos the group decided to go to a pizza parlour as suggested by Abhinav Iyer.

Ohh!! she is a non vegetarian , Aryan said to himself when he saw Madhvi eating pizza having chicken filling. A mental by mind and non veg lover, obviously not my types, Aryan gave himself a confirmation.


After lunch everyone left for their sweet home where their family was waiting for them expect for Aryan whose family was miles away.

Read Part I Here

When two bloggers tie the knot.. Part I (Birth of a Blogger)

Blogosphere is full of charming women. Stunning fashion bloggers making their style statement , beautiful beauty bloggers setting the latest trends, gorgeous travel bloggers taking us around the world, cute food bloggers with their lip smacking dishes and finally those charismatic personal bloggers who can talk on love and relationship like no one else.

As a male blogger I felt it and the same would hold true when a female blogger describes the opposite sex.

My intuition says that you won't feel a need to look out of the blogosphere world to find that Miss right or Mr perfect.

Bloggers are the face of a nation. They can talk on almost every topic, are the favorite of brands and the prime attraction of any event. They are stylish, trendy, popular and of course wealthy..;)
Not to forget the huge list of followers and well wishers who consider their opinions and advices
before buying anything.

When a single blogger is so powerful, imagine what can happen when they form a couple.

Aryan, a software engineer by profession also had a passion for writing from his college days.
He used to write for his college magazine and also used to scribble any random thoughts in his personal diary.

One day while coming back from college he forgot his diary in the college library.
He called Ravi, one of his friend who lived in the college hostel to collect it.
As the diary only had some poems and short stories so he was not afraid of it being read by anyone.

Ravi was on his way to meet his gf Ria, so he took the diary along with him.
Ria always loved the articles written by Aryan in the college magazine and when she came to know
that it was his diary, she couldn't resist herself from reading few pages of it.

"Aryan, I am really sorry as I read few poems and short stories from your diary but believe it when I say that you write superbly and should start a blog soon", Ria gave him her piece of advice.

Upon getting the same compliments and advices from few of his friends, he finally thought of starting a blog which he called "From My Diary" as it was the online counterpart of his offline diary.

After blogging for 3-4  months his Marwari mind came into action and he started searching for options to monetize his blog. He lived in tier -II city where blogging was not taken seriously nor encouraged.
Also it was year 2010 and at that time social media had just started evolving as a blogger's paradise.
Blogging communities, sponsored review programs and social media campaigns were in their baby stage. The most reliable option at that time was Google Adsense which was not a difficult thing to get approved as compared to the current time.

Aryan applied for the same and got his Adsense account active in just a week.
Even after a month he only had a mere $5 in his account which was way below his expectations.

Finally he decided to involve his friends also in his strategy to fool google and make some quick bucks.
A PPT was prepared and presented in front of a group of 10 people who were friends and college mates. Google Adsense , amazon affiliate program and other sites related to PPC (Pay Per Click) world were explained in it.

A decision was taken to divide the amount earned in a ratio of 60 :40.
Each friend had to click the Ads which appeared on his blog in a judicious manner.
Aryan was going to take the bigger slice while 40% was for his friends.

The strategy worked and his blog earned a whopping $50 in the second month from google adsense which was the most important source of revenue.

But things didn't went fine the other month as one of his friend who was from world's dumbest species clicked on all the Ads on his blog every hour of the day.

Soon Aryan got a mail from Google Adsense that his account was disabled because of invalid clicks activity. He tried his best to convince the Adsense people but there policy was, "Once removed you can't become a part of it again".

In those days he also realized that his marwari mind had overpowered his creative soul and made him divert from the actual cause of starting a blog.
Finally he got back on the right track and it was a great time to be there as he also got a job in Mumbai, the city of dreams.

Aryan was excited as most of the bloggers he followed were from Mumbai and also it was the top blogging hub of India.

It was now time for him to connect to other bloggers, learn from them and excel as a blogger.
But with that, time had a lot in store for him which he was unaware of !!!!!


To be Continued in Part II (A lot can happen in a blogger's meet)

Review of 2 States movie

She was insisting me to watch this movie from a long time as it was quite similar to our love story.
Though I am still to face her Hitler Dad who checks the payslip first and her mom who wants a cloned Alok Nath as her son-in-law, but it was quite a preparation.

And not to forget that my love story is no less spicy then that of Chetan Bhagat but that I will keep for someday later..;)

So coming back to the movie. These days a new trend is seen in Bollywood, where a popular piece of literature is been adopted into screenplays.
Chetan Bhagat's books have appalled the youth of India to a great extent. In the past his work like "five point someone" and "three mistakes of my life" when adapted on screen went out to be huge hits.

As I had read 2 States so was already aware about the story but how the real life is presented in the reel life was what excited me.Also as someone special was with me so the excitement increased manifold.
2 states was Chetan's best seller and its adaptation had great expectations. Does it manages to live upto the expectation, let's find out.

Unlike 3 idiots and Kai Po Che, 2 States is 100% adaptation of the book.

The movie revolves around Punjabi Munda Krish and beautiful Madarasan Ananya who meet each other at IIM A. Ananya with 22 proposals from IITians feels the same for every other. Krish protest against her attitude and this marks the beginning of their story.
Krish finally confesses that he can't just be a friend and Ananya rewards this with a kiss.

Love finds way into their life and a spicy romance starts on the campus. After having the fun the couple finally decide to commit and take their relationship forward.
But in India marriage is not only about the girl and boy is what they realize soon.
They decide to make their parents meet on their convocation which turns out to be a nightmare.

For a second I could see my parents meeting with those of my GF just to give me a heart attack.
Thanx to my GF who pinched me at the right time otherwise I was about to see World War 3.

Nwys back to the story, after the convocation the story embarks upon the journey of couple convincing each other's parents which is full of drama, humor and at last happy ending.

2 States is full on masala movie which has all the ingredients to make it a hit.
Though there are no such moments which pulls you out of the chair but it perfectly fulfills all the expectations that you have after reading the book. Also the music is rocking and good to ears which is an added bonus.

Shy & geek looking Arjun Kapoor does complete judgement to his character. Though it is tough for him to be in such avatar seeing his previous performances but he perfectly lends the required softness.

Amrita Singh is superb as the bold Punjabi mom who delivers the funniest liners of the movie with full composure.
Ronit Roy gives a powerful performance he is know for.

But it is Alia Bhatt who is the focus of the movie. Yet another superb performance after Highway.
Her beauty, innocence & vivacious personality brings life to the character of Ananya. Her refreshing looks and natural acting add to the charm of every scene.

Overall the movie is a good  entertainment, a one time watch for sure..\m/

What if you are 25 and don't have a GF..??

GF is an entity that changes your life.
If you are fortunate enough to find a good one then she makes your life heaven but the other one is also important as she will leave you with long credit card bills, sleepless nights and not to forget a lesson of lifetime.

But what if you are 25, an age when parents start looking for a suitable bride and you don't have someone special in life. Not to forget when you are afraid of arranged marriage,it really gets difficult.

Relationships which are childhood love, school love or college first year love have 90% probability of being successful, but I was unfortunate to find one.

Its not that I didn't try, I tried my heart out, but either I was not satisfied or she.

During school time peer pressure starts from 8th class, not only peer pressure also Parents pressure.
They except you to top the merit , but don't understand that it is also the time when lot of hormone locha happens inside your body.
You start finding girls pretty. The opposite sex attracts you more than anything.

Next comes NTSE. If you get scholarship here, IIT coaching classes will teach you for free.
Also your name will come into newspaper which everyone wants one day.
So again the mind wants you to study but heart wants just the opposite.
It is ready to fall for someone, go mad in love, create new historic love stories.

10th Board is like a war, where your parents, teachers and even friends knowing that you are a small Srilanka will expect you to beat America.

Finally when you feel that now you can relax and go out fishing, parents ring the Career Alert bell.
You are shown the dream of getting into an IIT by coaching institutes and you happily agree to get bluffed.
It's not that coaching institutes are only for studies, many students come for mate matching also.
Fortunately girls here consider you a part of intellectual group and try to come closer.
They call you to parties but for you it is senseless and waste of time as the bhoot of IIT is still big on the head.

Finally the results are out and you don't get an IIT but a decent college.
Now that you are sure that everything is set, you feel it's the right and high time to fall in love.

But where are all the pretty girls gone ?
99% girls are beautiful and rest 1% are my batchmates looks so true and real.

Though there are some charming faces but they demand a high intellect combined with big bikes and even bigger wallets.
Then there are those average looking, only 4-5 times proposed girls who will fall for singing skills, guitar skills and in my case dancing skills.
You think she is the one, your love, your everything but she leaves you in few months, stating it as just an infatuation and nothing else.

Then there is that one girl who will love you like anything. She will always feel jealous when you are with other girl. She will take care of you like a mother, but you won't get satisfied by all this.
Because for you a person has not to be only loving and caring but also interesting and witty to be a partner.
She loves you relentlessly and you finally think of giving it a try.
Well it feels good for few days but then you feel like changing many things.
You tend to give her lectures on almost everything and then follows 24*7 fighting, calling mutual friends and troubleshooting.
Finally when everyone gives up, your relationship comes to a miserable end breaking her heart.

A lesson learnt but after paying a heavy price of losing your best friend.
You take a pledge not to get into relationship with a girl who is not of your type, just to break it in few months.

Internet friends are so common these days and also internet love.
You feel low and lonely after the breakup and make your way to the big virtual world.

After few days you find someone interesting. She seems to be the perfect one, loving, caring, intellectual and also witty. You take no time in falling for her. The first few meets are so amazing that you feel like introducing her to your family, but her different caste factor always keep haunting you.

Few months pass and you tend to feel the difference between virtual and the real world.
The girl who always had time for you on the virtual world, unfortunately can't find much in her real world. She tends to give excuses and things get bitter.
You give your relationship another chance with an optimistic hope of she finding time for you.
But things get really worst when she is not even able to meet you on your birthday.
You don't have any other option then break-up.


Cooperate world beckons and you get yourself immersed into work just to forget her.
Again you take a pledge that you will only think of a girl if she is of your caste as this is your last time and you don't want a World War 3 with your parents.
When you are on the verge of getting great opportunities, she enters your life.
She is of your caste, have great looks, is witty, creative and above all matches your height perfectly.
What more can you urge for ?
You try all the tricks in the world to impress her but this time your love line shows a full stop.
You are being ignored as if you don't even exist.
She gets into an IIM and you are stuck at the same place, also losing those knocking opportunities.


Now you are 25. Parents wants to get you married soon.
Your father's father and mother's mother emotionally blackmail's you every time you talk to them.
Friends are getting married to their long term GF's and when you tell them your desire of having a love marriage, they will infinitely mock at your single status.


Watched 2 states and felt like waiting for some more time, but how long...????
Do you have an answer ? Feel free to suggest..;)

5 Artists, one topic, Love Marriage VS Arrange Marriage

Fortunately 15th August was on Wednesday,so I took 2 days vacations before that and went home after a long time.

It was Friday and I was waiting at Borivali station(Mumbai) for Avantika express, one of the very few trains to Indore.
Train was right on time. My Seat no was 29 in S6 compartment. There were 3 guys and 2 gals , all looking young,in their 20's.

As the journey started we had a brief introduction and I was surprised and the same time excited to find a pool of artists around me.
Among the 2 gals one was a painter and other a poet
Boys had a variety too with one a school teacher from village.
Other was a software developer from TCS and last one was a Cartoonist.

I took out my mobile and started browsing net. When I opened Indiblogger site, a new contest was flashing on the home page. Love Marriage VS Arrange Marriage.
A very interesting and common topic indeed. My grey cells starting working and I came up with an idea. Lets have a contest guys. I have a topic, a very common one, which is Love Marriage VS Arrange Marriage. You have to express your opinion on it in ur own artistic way. I have a surprise gift for the person who comes out to be the most creative and artistic in his approach.

After 1 hour everyone was ready and it was time to start.
Girls insisted to start first so I decided to go with the younger of the two, the Poet.

She was a die hard supporter of Love Marriages and always dreamed of one.
Her poem strongly supported her take on the topic


Love marriage is the way,
To enjoy the the life all way long..
It gives the music,
to our life's boring song..

It gives color to life's painting..
And if you are lucky to have love marriage,
life will definitely have happy ending..

The pair know each other well,
before they are going to be husband and wife..
It gives bonding,it gives affection,
and gives understanding,throughout their life..

Whenever we will be besiege by problems of life..
Only the true love will be our saver..
So if u find true love in someone's eyes..
Make that one as your life partner..forever..:))


The painter being an arranged marriage supporter wasted no time to give her opponent "The Poet"
a strong reply with her creations.
She portrayed 2 scenarios
1. Before Love Marriage only Love
2. After Love Marriage where is Love

Scenario 1

                                                   Before Love Marriage

 

 After Love Marriage

Scenario 2

                                                   Before Love Marriage

                                   After Love Marriage

Scenario 3

                                    Before Love Marriage

                                After Love Marriage
     Mickey to Minnie- Where is my tea it's already 7..


So from her pictures it was clear that in love marriages there were 2 scenarios BEFORE and AFTER. Before one shows that couples are really happy but problem comes when they are married i.e. the AFTER part. In after part you are always compared to the person you were before marriage in-spite of the fact that now you not only have new responsibilities but you also need to give equal time to your family.You are burdened with all those expectations which your partner had from you before marriage without considering the fact that now priorities are been changed.

Seeing the pics poet got angry and started arguing with the painter. Atmosphere got heated up quickly and everyone could feel it.
Feeling a chance of a cat fight, I quickly intervened and asked the opposite sex to keep up with
their views..

As Cartoonist was the most enthusiastic of the lot, I asked him to lead the boy's front with his humorous cartoons..

His cartoons depicted that neither he was standing in favour of Love Marriages nor Arrange Marriages.
According to him Marriage was a three ring circus..engagement ring, wedding ring and suffering.
After marriage, husband and wife become two sides of a coin; they just can’t face each other, but still they stay together.Even there are lot of problems between the girl and her in-laws.
Single is the best status anyone can have on Facebook, he declared...:P


Seeing the talks getting a bit on the heavier side, with eyebrows raising and fists been clenched, Software developer came up with his witty Technical Description of both the marriages to stop the bickering ,drive away the clouds of animosity and make the atmosphere a bit lighter..

Love Marriage	Arranged Marriage

Finally it was turn of the village school teacher, who was not considered a competition by anyone.
He raised the following points

There are cases where young couples leave their homes and flee evading villainous parents in their quest to find true love. There are cases when parents oversee their children married off to well-off families, thus assured of a comfortable and stable life.
What is marriage? An institution of love and trust or a settlement between two families?

Let find out grass is greener on which end ..

If we take the stand of Arranged Marriages following points creates the foundation for the same.

1. Looking back into human history, arranged marriages have predominated the times. Arrange marriages are the 'real marriages' unlike love marriages which is borne out of a whim or fancy. Our ancestors were wise and pious, and the experience of generations wouldn't stick to something unproductive.

2. Looking into the available statistics, we find that only a small number of arrange marriages end in divorces. As the initial fantasy period of marriage ends, the differences emerge. In love marriages, usually couples can't handle this phase in its seriousness, whereas arranged couples understand each other better.

3. Arrange marriages most often refrain from matching couples belonging to different societal status, or different caste/tribe/religion etc. The argument that the unification of two souls finds its source only in love is not a practical one. When made to return to reality, right from naming their child to the language and rituals performed at home to behavioral traits and thinking patterns, the differences accumulate which eventually ends sourly.

4. What culminates in love marriage is the bonding between two individuals to a level where they feel they shouldn't be separated from each other. An argument goes this way : "If he can fall for me, couldn't he fall for any other woman?". The seed of doubt and the sin of infidelity are so rampant in love marriages. Arranged marriages, on the other hand, has its root firmly based on reason and practicality without denying importance to mutual love.

5. Love marriages, in many cases, happen at an inoportune moment of the lives of the couples. There are cases, when couples have to run away leaving behind a good societal life. They gamble a respectful life for a life of fantasy. And when their children grow up, can they stop them from doing what they did themselves?

6. The parents have fed their children emotionally, physically and intellectually all these years. Marriage is an important decision in everyone's lives. Hence, parents should have a say in it. No parent would want their children to be in wrong hands.


Now if we consider Love marriages better than arranged Marriages following points support our opinion.


1. Marriage is an institution which demands love. No marriage is worth the effort and money if there is no love between the couple. Love is one of man's most important unheralded needs. And a life partner is one who is the source of this love for his/her entire life. Hence, love marriages is not only emotionally rewarding but also logical.

2. A conveyor belt is moving. Someone placed a stone, As it continues to move, the stone is enriched by sharpening, polishing, mixing, covering etc. and finally an end product is formed. Man's life is not a stone on a conveyor belt. You cannot "fix" or "match" two hearts unless they pull each other on their own.

3. The system of dowry is a part of this "arranged marriage ritual". There is no need to put forward the statistics of the number of women who have either been killed, molested or abused (physically and emotionally) by their in-laws for this reason. No matter how much research is put into forming the new family, there is always an artificiality to it. The plight of such women cuts a sad figure.

4. The practice of arranged marriage separates communities, helping to stop integration and encourage distrust between communities. This applies largely where it occurs among immigrant populations and helps to maintain a language barrier and an associated cultural ghettoisation.



Conclusion:
Marriage is not just a function or tradition but its more in to Understanding, Compromising, Forgiving, Respecting, Loving, Being together forever and always Be Connected.

No marriage, arranged or love, would be successful in the absence of love, trust and mutual understanding.
All the other factors are mere details in the portrait.

A soft answer, A listening ear, A forgiving & loving Heart, A mind which accepts our mistakes, An understanding Heart/Mind, will always keep the relationship alive in any situation.

Everyone was amazed to hear the points kept by the little Village School Teacher which were accurate and seemed like coming from an astute person.
Conclusion was bang on..!!!

Decision was taken by the other 4 artists, School Teacher was declared the winner.
I was finally happy so see talent was appreciated without any discrimination on lines of financial, or social status.

I had promised to give him the prize on the same day when I get mines from Indiblogger..:P

As I was a blogger so they also asked my views on it
I kept the below points-:
Marriage is a broad context but it is actually the individuals who decide the fate. It is very important for the individuals to understand the stakes involved and not behave like kids or immature people. Therefore anyone who is planning to get married. My suggestion is IT IS NOT LOVE OR ARRANGE WHICH NEEDS TO BE DECIDED. IT IS ACTUALLY ASKING THE QUESTION AM I READY FOR THIS COMMITMENT AND RESPONSIBILITY YET?and if there is any second thought then it is better to defer the plan of getting married till you are mentally ready.
