Marriage...

How do people get married? How do they decide whom to marry?
It's not love. Less than 10% of people in India must be marrying the person they love. The person they want to spend the rest of their life with.
What do the others do?
Of all the people of the opposite sex in the world how do they decide that the person they are marrying is the right one? It's a scary thought. Deciding who among the millions of people around the world you are gonna be with the rest of your life. And are gonna create the next generation with.
I mean there are so many traits that people like in the opposite sex. Guys like beauty, grace, body …etc... Girls may like looks, personality, body... etc. Everyone has their criteria of choosing someone they find attractive. So what happens when they marry? If a guy marries a girl he's attracted to because she's beautiful does that mean to him that she's the most beautiful girl in the world or that she's the most beautiful girl he could get? The first option is unlikely but if the second option is true, does that mean it's a compromise? Do you give up on the qualities you look for to get married to someone? What if you find someone even more beautiful…? This goes for every quality one could look for.
You can't possibly believe the person you are marrying is the most perfect for you.
What if there is someone even more perfect for you somewhere…
What makes them compromise and settle for something?
Is it just because everybody else says so?
Is it right?
Does anyone have an answer?

Crossroads

Here I am. At probably the biggest crossroad of my life...yet. I got into Medicine. And passed out without much worries or anything. It was cool. It was college. There were sports. There were Dance shows. There was college politics. There were friends and foes. There were teachers. There were exams. And all that Jazz. That's all life really was. I didn't really ever do anything extra ordinary. But still, with that security of a life around me, I could see the world. I could still sit and observe. I could ponder and analyse. I could comment and learn. I could do any damn thing I wanted to. I started this blog. Have written more than 100 posts in college itself about a range of topics. I talked about philosophical thoughts, current affairs, big issues and mostly about me. My life. My feelings. And I did pretty well. Wouldn't say I came up with posts very easily. There were many many times when I couldn't. But there were many times when a lot of things popped up in my head...

Forgive and forget?

It is weird how things just happened in a way that I landed with this topic. The first idea of a post came when I read this story in the newspaper. For those too lazy to visit the link, it speaks of a accident victim who had a pipe lodged in his neck and chest saying he doesn't have any grudges against the driver who dashed into him and has chosen to forgive him. It think it's a great gesture and should be talked about all over to get such a thing as forgiveness to be considered among virtues again. I believe it's not looked up to as much anymore and the one who can give back is the only one who is respected...as I've talked about in an earlier post . So, anyway..This got me thinking about doing a post about forgiveness. Then as I came online today, a real close friend of my past msged me. Now this guy was pretty close to me when he went abroad for studies. It's been 4 yrs since he's talked to me.It started with him not replying me on msngr. I did scrap him on...
