I was on a trip to Taiwan eventually one evening after office I called my parents casually to update what happened today at Taiwan. I heard dad saying can you send your latest pics and employment details till date. I asked what is it for? I qualified for next phase of my life called "MARRIAGE". I said I was not ready and I will not send. My dad from the other side convinced me that if we start looking now it takes atleast few months or a year to get everything settled. The month was on Oct last week when I decided to come back to India for Diwali. I convinced my parents that I will talk about this when I visit during Diwali. This is where everything started this post is for people who are about to start their new love relation called marriage
What are you looking for in a relation is it a girl/boy that you are dreaming about or a new relation? My life from childhood is kind of go lucky. I had serios crush with lots of girls in my class and also in some of my close relations. I never trusted on something called love marriages from my childhood. I don't know why but I thought Love marriage is only confined to movies where you are loosing all the bonds you developed for 20+ long years with your parents. I am not against being loved or love marriages but I never thought its one for me. The reason for this may be because I am not so good at getting atttention of girl and make her live for me forever. I was not expressive. Yeah, I got your point as I am also the one sitting beside you. You might be thinking why is he talking about him rather than straight away tell me whom should I search for. I am coming there. With the experience I had I only thought one solution for this let my parents take the call on this. I am seriously not that guy who can select a girl just like that in a moment looking at her.
The day when I got the notification for my marriage I was now anxious sometimes and worried sometimes but I know one thing for sure I am gonna get married to a beautiful woman on the earth because she is my wife. I tried to figure out what would I require from a girl. My list was pretty long and I thought will I get a girl who has all these qualities. Later I came to know within no time that I was dreaming for a girl whom I don't know and can't figure out in just one meeting whether the girl has all these qualities. Later I questioned myself do I deserve all these qualities. My list became a little shorter now. Now few more questions arised into my mind about "what if" I came to know that she may not true to stranger as I meeting her for the first time. Should I relook at the relation. My list came to 2 after revisiting this question. The list has only these questions.
- Is she beautiful Woman
- Is she comfortable with me.
These are the 2 questions I thought I could get the answers very easily. My question to everyone who are confused in selecting is that again 2
Am I ready? : If you are aged 21 then you are obviously ready according to Indian law. Just kidding. The question is here is not exactly are you ready but the question here is what makes feel that I am ready for the marriage. For some its career, for some its family, for some its the way they are living and for many others its financial situation they are in. You are a better judge for it. I can give a simple pointer are you feeling that you should get married? Then yes go ahead get married listen to nobody except you. Seriously I was not ready for the marriage but when I saw my wife I don't want to miss her.
What are my preferences? : Seriously to hit a nail on the head this is toughest in selecting the better half. When I was going for preference my preference is just to marry a woman. That is all I have nothing else. I know I sound really weird but that is what I had in my mind but I had almost 12 days to think about before selecting my wife. In that 12 days I really did not think of any except the one and only reason I just told you. Man I was tensed on the last day but finally I went there I had lot of questions unanswered and unasked. I felt bad for not asking, I felt bad for not letting her know what my expectations were. I felt really weird and lost. I said I will take my decision only after talking to her on phone. This time I am ready with all the questions and was excited. After almost 3 days I called her. My questions sounded simple but those really important to me. My intention is not to read her mind but to know how she felt and how she would look at life. I almost saw that she is seeing the world with the same eye I was seeing. I felt good and later felt I should go ahead. I finally decided and went ahead and its been 4 years after my marriage but still remember every bit of it.
So friends its very important that you should learn to live with the expectations and go ahead in your relation.
My message to every one is that talk to yourself about these things then set a right expectation on your marriage then you will be most wonderful husband/wife in the world.
- Are you really ready?
- What are your preferences?
