oh god, yeh bhagwan ko kaun samajaye

YES!! what is about our parents and so strong view about getting married to someone from other religion. isn't love enough. in my entire lifetime which has just extended to 24 years i have already seen 3 unsuccessful affairs. I mean what is it? why does a person's religion comes before his or her love. the first one is between a friend who he is very close to me now and this out of normal perfect girl. it was suppose to be perfect secret love affair which no one had a clue about . but then guess what? he was seven seas' away(saat samundar par) and she was India. that's when the hell broke on them. NO its not that they could not handle a long distance relationship but it was the girl's father , the villain had decided to get her married somewhere else. and that's it. that was a full stop for a an affair longer than a year. back here in new york if u survive an affair with someone for a year, and next next thing u know you are married .another year and you are divorced. give it 6 more months and you might be seeing yourself at your second reception. second one ,actually my friend got married and is living with the better half happily. but guess what!!! the family has no clue that their child is married. because if disclosed it would break up the sky on their head(aasman tut padega).so much for an perfect Indian family. and the third one you have to listen to this. this ones actually under scrutiny right now. the problem; different religion. who is getting married the humans or god to bhagwan. why does it matter if u go to temple every Tuesday or a church every Sunday. i know that back home we curse the western rate of divorce. but Hellooooo! at least you are not pushed into the leaky cauldron. where you have no clue who is what. I for certainly do not agree with that ritual. i might sound so American. but this not what i agree on. that is it? we have to agree that some things are better done in the western style. is it so American to get married to person you love?
