Love? Arranged? Naa, Semi-Arranged!!

After fighting the battles of Education and Job, most of the youths today ultimately go through a war in their homes regarding their take on Love Marriage or Arranged one.
Though exceptions are always there, but generally our life is filled with various battles, the battle for Chocolate, the battle for Excellence in Studies, the Battle for Job and ultimately the battle for marriage.
Unlike the previous generations, where parents used to commit their close friends that 'our dosti will be converted to ristedari', parents these days are way cooler and acts according to the wish of their sons and daughters, though always in some corner of their mind they always long for Arranged Marriage, which seems quite obvious.

But the real problem is with us. What are we suppose to choose? The most interesting fact of the present romancing generation is that, almost most of us are associated in multiple relationships. The magazine concept of Playboy, is quite a reality now with almost each one us having changed an average of 2 lovers. And sometimes the number might exceed the multiples of 2 also.
So, it is quite a certain that people, after experiencing distorted Girlfriend-Boyfriend clashes for so many years with so many praters, ultimately want to settle with someone chosen by their parents. May be because they are tried or may be if later if things doesn't shape around correctly, they have someone to blame upon.
A very recent column by Chetan Bhagat in Times of India, said that guys today distinguish between Girlfriend types and Marriageable types. Yeah it is cent percent true, we party around girls who are quite open minded but marry someone who to tend to be stereotypical.
Though it might seem pretty out of the trend, but most of the marriageable youths today give a first preference to arranged marriage
However, here comes another doubt of mine, are there arranged marriages actually arranged? I mean, people always lay down conditions before finalizing the girl. I will meet the girl alone. I will talk to her. I will spend some time with her ; and some other clauses. And if all of them are satisfied and both of them find themselves compatible, they marry, else reject.
So, how does that turns up to be Arranged? What I suppose, arranged marriage is something where you abide by whatever your parents choose and marry with out any clause. But now, parents are merely asked to lay out the options and the penultimate decision is taken by the one who is to sit for marriage. That is not arranged nor love marriage. So what this is Semi Arranged marriage or Semi Love Marriage.  
It can be concluded that people now days actually don't go for conventional Arranged or Love marriage, but rather they have improvised the system and go for something that suits the need of the hour.
PS: I am still confused what I am suppose to do, and give that to time to decide my fate.

  7. What every single phase entails, and exactly how much time
    you spend on each phase depends heavily on your own current

Wish I could 'FLIRT'

I was in class VII, when I first came across the word ‘flirting’. (This apparently proves my weakness in vocabulary). Anyways, it was my friend Jyotirmoy who was talking about him flirting with a girl. As usual, an innocent me, asked, “ এই flirting মানে কি? ” Which apparently meant, ‘What does flirting mean? What an apt description he gave, he said, it is an act of conveying someone that you love him/her verbally, though you hold no feelings for him/her by heart. Mind it, class VII we were, and we were already discussing how to fake love. That was good old 7 years back, in a phase of time, where at least love was not merely a matter of one night stand. Over the time, Jyotirmoy did excel in the art of flirting on screen, no wonder, he is yet to score a girl, but he has surely excelled. This is an art, an art probably all of the cool dude modern guys surely have good hands on. But what I am more concerned about is actually described in the last part of the last line of th

A Note To My Abandoned Blog!

I have been writing for over a decade now. In 2012, I started a blog and went on to garner a lakh page views by 2015. Social media wasn’t as big then as to what it is now, the internet wasn’t a necessity, but rather an accessory and attention span surely was more than what we have today. So I believe I can get a little pat on my back for what I achieved.   Come 2016, my blog reached the 200k mark, and then like the abandoned Paper Factory in Jagiroad, Assam, I abandoned my blog. I did write a couple of pieces up until 2021, but that was probably the flickering flame of a dying lamp.   So, did I stop writing after 2016? Hell no, in fact, I have been writing an unimaginable volume of work. From academic papers, news stories, features for magazines, websites, academic papers, dissertations, press releases, scripts, concept notes and my favourite pass time, emails, I have been churning out words after words .  But what I absolutely stopped doing is, writing for myself. Personal writing a

Life on the Wheels: Mr Ram Kumar

The title might suggest that the post is about some adventurous traveler, who roams the world in a four wheeler exploring thousands of kilometers. Indeed, he travels thousands of kilometers, probably 36000 km a month, yet he is not adventurous traveler, and probably we would never imagine our lives to be like his. Life on the Wheels Meet Mr. Ram Kumar , the coach attendant of the Dibrugarh Rajdhani Express . Mr. Kumar, with just 4 holidays a month, travels all the way from New Delhi to Dibrugarh via Guwahati serving passengers and back. Again the same day he leaves for Jammu with another fleet of passengers and the cycle goes on. Four holidays is just like nothing, a resident of Bihar, it takes him 2 days to reach home from Delhi and unlike the so called posh Rajdhani where he serves; he boards a general sleeper class compartment to get back. Yet, he wears a badge saying ‘Serving with a smile’ and severs to every new face which he meets in his journey without any compla
