Reasons.....

Reasons one should not get married

I have so many single friends who always wanted to be "SINGLE" and got married recently (well, the list includes me as well). But then logic says how can you despise something without experiencing it..and conscience says you can not undo this experience so why in the first place experience it. Anyways, now that I have committed the sin, I realize there are very few who actually want to undo "it", "it" being such a beautiful sin.

I have always been a mamma’s girl and daddy's princess, and could have never imagined going away from them for a single day...let alone marry someone and move away forever. Also the nerd in me always prioritized my studies over loving(?)/marrying someone. But then C'est la vie... and eventually I had to get married with very few hopes of a good life post-event.

“The life will now only consist of kitchen and laundry and cleaning and innumerable satshriakals to unknown faces in social gatherings”. And I soon realized how wrong I was and what a wonderful experience being married is, more importantly being married to a person who loves you the way back you do. With the whole new facet of life, it actually made me feel like having a new birth. From a girl who hated cooking to a lady who would search recipes and prepare them to delight her husband. From a girl who had a horse-eye view of only her study table to a lady who handled whole house (I prefer calling it home though, in any context :-)). From a girl who would dance to her own tunes, to a lady who now matches her steps to her husband's. And surprisingly I could see similar transformations in my husband – from a boy to a man. No and it really does not mean leaving your identity, forgetting all the things you once liked, letting all your passions have a back seat, in fact, it gives you a partner in all the fun,in the joys and in the sorrows as well. Someone you can always look up to. Someone with whom you can also share moments which you would have not shared with your closest of buddies or your parents.

Someone who is just like you...outside you...as they say -

      “Mere jaisa koi meri jindagi me aaye...toh baat ban jaaye”... :)

Life got much more meaningful, new aspirations springing up, instead of previous ones dying, and much more fun now, because now each one was for both of us.

Marriage actually means addition rather than subtraction, with me becoming the princess of one more family, and my mom-n-dad getting the elder son they always wanted. It actually means multiplication rather than division, with my friends multiplied into his friend list and his to mine. It means sharing, caring, loving and getting the same in return.

So to all my friends out there, who are still escaping this beautiful thing and giving their parents a hard time, its time you reconsider the propositions and give life a chance, a chance to tell you how beautiful it can be.
