There was a girl who lived happily with her parents. Enjoyed the warmth of her grand parents. Her grandmother was her favourite. She loved her grandmother like anything in this world. She grew up in this lovely family. They all lived happily. The girl grew up with a closed knit. She hardly had any exposure to the outside world except to her school, tuition classes, and to the places where her parents would take her. Then for her U.G. education, her brother wanted her to goto pilani but her parents felt that it would be too far from their place and decided to send her to a govt college in coimbatore. There, again, though she was satisfied with her parents' and brother's decision, she didnt know to object anything. So, she went to stay in a hostel in coimbatore. Her life changed a lot with the amount of exposure she was getting in that college! She was very happy. She came out with flying colors from the college with an engineering degree and a placement in TCS, Chennai. So, she came back from the hostel and lived with her parents again. There was a lot of difference in the way she was living now and the way she lived before her college. She was more matured now. She knew the reality of life now. She knew that one day she would get married and not be with her parents. Though she was very much attached to her parents and she knew they are her life, she didnt develop any attachments. Thanks to her sanskrit sir for teaching her the Bagavad Gita 16th chapter where it has been told by the Lord Krishna that "We should have no attachments and be detached from life to reach the Ultimatum".
Then, one day her father showed some photos of some guys and asked her if she liked them. Knowing that marriage is not only about looks, she decided that she would finalise upon a guy only after talking to him for few minutes. It is obvious that you cannot judge a person in this few minutes, but I am sure you can atleast look at his mannerisms and the way of talking... a job is offered to you just by interviewing for few minutes... i totally agree that job and the life partner cannot be decided in the same way... but giving all due respects to our culture, this girl told her father that she needed to speak to THE guy for atleast few minutes. And so, her father caught hold of some 2 to 3 guys, made them speak with her... but it didnt click...either the guy's side rejected or her family was not happy or she herself was not happy with the alliance... so, time passed by... one fine day, there was this proposal from a young charming man's family... his parents came to the girl's house... and looking at the hospitality received, and the girls' serene behaviour, the guy's parents had confirmed this alliance... even the girls parents were happy...hey! wait... the girl is yet to talk to the guy... the guy's parents said that he doesnt have any constraints... but the girl was not ready...remember, she said she had to talk to the guy for few minutes...she had to literally fight with her father to give her an opportunity to talk to the guy and decide...
So, respecting the sentiments of the girl and after a gr8 tug-of-war between the girl and her father, the grand meeting was arranged...the girl met the guy and booomm...even without the need to talk to him, she decided in her mind that its going to him...THE man of her life... come on! what happened to her sentiments now?? its not fair...she had fought with her father for a discussion with the guy! Knowing this, she didnt want to give her confirmation without talking to him, as her father would be at her back then.. :-)) So, they both started talking...seconds became minutes, minutes became hours.. i think they almost talked for an hour, knowing very well within each other's minds that this is it!
Then the engagement, the marriage everything followed...
