 Today is Valentine's Day. Love is in the Air. Love is supposed to mature in marriage.

So, today's topic is marriage.

Journey of my Life and Marriage.

I was travelling from Delhi to Kolkata in Rajdhani Express, 

in two tier AC coach.


My co-passenger was a decent looking young girl in her 

early twenties.

It was about seventeen hours journey, so to avoid 

boredom, I asked her about her education etc. Very soon, 

we started chatting like old friends. She was Bengali, done 

her Journalism course and currently trying to write 

features as a freelancer.

When it was revealed that I have completed silver jubilee 

of our marriage, she told that she is trying to do a feature 

on arranged marriage versus love marriage. She asked for 

my permission to interview me. Yes was my answer.


She : so you are married for twenty five years.

Me : yes.

                                                 stock photo : three dark red roses isolated on white

She : Your realization ?

Me : After marriage, realized that, I was a free man before.


She : Anything else ?

Me : "married life" is an oxymoron.


She : Do you believe " marriage is made in heaven" ?

Me : Only if Heaven is full of Chinese people.

                                              stock photo : red rose isolated on white background

She : What is your feeling of arranged marriage ?

Me : I feel it like Eid for a goat. Treated and dressed like 

        prince, Fed with excellent food and then ----


She : when did you exactly felt that marriage is dangerous ?

Me : The moment I saw my bride in RED Benarasi saree.

        THE RED SIGNAL.

                                                 stock photo : many red roses shot in shallow DOF

She : OK. Describe your wife's view.

Me : According to her '

1.   The most perfect man in the world is her father.

2.   The most abused husband in the world is her brother.

3.   The most handsome man in the world is her son.

4.   The luckiest and happiest man in the world is her sister's husband.

5.   The most thankful man in the world is her son in law.

6.   And the worst, most selfish, heartless, total jerk and the man with worst behavior in the world is her husband.

She : Such is her feelings ?

Me : Yah. She says- I'm an idiot, I always have been an idiot, I'll  

         always be an idiot. If there is an idiot contest, 

         I'll come second.


She : Why second ?

Me : Because I am an idiot.

                                                       stock photo : beautiful red rose on a white background  

She : So there is no benefit of marriage ?

Me : There are many. Let me make a list-

1.   Marriage is the best teacher of all.

2.   It teaches you loyalty,

3.   It teaches you forbearance,

4.   It teaches you meekness,

5.   It teaches you self restraint

6.   It teaches you forgiveness

 And great many other qualities, I would not have 

needed, If I was single.

She : Do you think arranged marriages lasts longer than love marriages ?

Me : Hmmm. Love marriage. I think, it goes like this :

1.   We are made for each other.

2.   We are mad for each other.

3.   We are maid for each other.


She : How married people pass their time ?

Me : Hmmm, we watch a lot of TV. My wife watches         

         "Punar-Vivah "   But I want it for real.

                                             stock photo : Red rose on the white background (isolated)

She : You don't do any funny things like playing games ?

Me : Currently we are playing a game called " you to be 

        blamed ", very close game. 

        Right now she is leading by 1976-1.


She : What type of conversations you make ?

Me : She asks a lot of questions and as I start answering 

         them, she starts questioning the answers. 


She : what are the important words in a marriage ?

Me : Hmmm, three words , " you are probably right ".

         Whatever my wife says, my reply, " you are

          probably right".

                                                stock photo : Red rose on the white

She : Don't your wife loves you ?

Me : Sure. She has given me many adjectives. Worthless, 

         insufferable, moron, Wretched etc.


She : How do you compare arranged marriage with love 

          marriage.

Me : Hmmm. Interesting question. Arranged marriage is like 

         building your own house. Once built, with minimum 

         maintenance, it will go for a long time.

        Love marriage is like renting an apartment house. Like 

        renewing the lease, you have to say " I Love You " 

       everyday.

                                                  stock photo : Red rose on the white background (isolated)

She : Now I have started understanding the beauty of 

          marriage. Please give some tips for those who are 

          not yet married.

Me : Ok.

1.   Always Remember, a perfect husband is one who 

       apologies every time his wife makes a mistake.

2.   Take your wife on holidays to different places of the 

     world, that will increase chances of her being lost. Go 

      mainly to Sea shores ' sharks are there ' probability 

     is more.

3.   Don't waste your energy trying to make her laugh, 

      she'll make you a clown anyway.

4.   Always carry a photo of your wife in your wallet. 

     Whenever in problem, look at the photo and think, 

      no problem is greater than this.

                                         

She : So, one should not marry ?

Me : I don't say so. I am a small fry. Many learned persons have their 

          theory of marriage :


        Socrates : My advice to you is to get married. If you find a good 

                             wife you will be happy. If not, you will be a 

                             Philosopher, like me.


         Oscar Wilde : Marriage is the triumph of imagination over 

                                   intelligence. Second marriage is the triumph of 

                                   hope over experiance.

                                                                

         Lisa Hoffman : Marriage is like pi, natural, irrational

                                      and very important.

         

           Clint Eastwood : They say marriages are made in heaven.

                                           But so is thunder and Lightening.

                                                                     

            Joey Adams : Marriage is give and take. you would better

                                        give it to her or she will take it anyway.


            Agatha Christie : Every woman should marry an archaeologist

                                             because she grows increasingly attractive

                                             to him as she grows increasingly to

                                             resemble a ruin.

                                                             

She : It's very nice and informative to chat with you. Within 

           few days, I am going to write  the feature. If 

           needed, where can I reach you ?

Me : Keep this LSH's toll free number,      

        AK-1800-800-we-are-nu**


She : What is LSH ?

Me : Long Suffering Husband.

Personally, I have nothing against Valentine's Day. The concept came in India just few years back.

I never understood the need for it. You love, you declare and go on. For this no special day is 

necessary for me.

Read the post in laptop or any flash enabled device. One beautiful song is embedded.

Chhoti si umar me hi

Lag gaya rog

Kahate hai log

Main mar jaungi

Thanks, that u have enjoyed.

Today, in a post, Ankur has said that I am naughty.
