Mine is an arranged marriage and I often feel that I couldn’t have got a more suitable partner than the one I have. But still, I often wish ours had been a love marriage, so that I would have looked forward to the marriage instead of fearing it would end up in disaster!

Anyway, keep writing Ninitha! Makes nice reading!

1st time on your blog!

I have one more reason to go for an arranged marriage though…

If it doesn’t work out you can always blame it on someone else! hehaha! wat say?!

But there is no way in hell am i marrying someone chosen to be my “life partner” by someone else!! that’s a scary thought!

Some other important points I could add in that list

–> Your goals and ambitions in life are on the same lines. If not on similar lines, you are at least aware of your other half’s plans. So you are not in for a shock if for example , after a few months of marriage he declares he wants to migrate to another country, something which he had not disclosed before. (Just an example)
This could as well happen in a love marriage, but the scenario would be much different since you would know what to expect from someone you know.
–> If you have known the guy for quite a long time, you have known his family too and he yours. So adjusting with each others families, although different backgrounds (if it is an inter caste/inter religion one) is much easier than dealing with ‘new’ in laws.

Hi ,

I was reading ur blog posts and found some of them to be very good.. u write well.. Why don’t you popularize it more.. ur posts on ur blog ‘Terminalrant’s Weblog’ took my particular attention as some of them are interesting topics of mine too;

BTW I help out some ex-IIMA guys who with another batch mate run http://www.rambhai.com where you can post links to your most loved blog-posts. Rambhai was the chaiwala at IIMA and it is a site where users can themselves share links to blog posts etc and other can find and vote on them. The best make it to the homepage!

This way you can reach out to rambhai readers some of whom could become your ardent fans.. who knows..

Cheers,

Ahh, those Airtel ads just get me bugged. I’ve got the single blues maybe, or its just sour grapes

You know, strange but true, it would sometimes be better with an arranged marriage. It would be such an adventure. Of course, you make sure he’s straight, and shaves his armpits so there’s no BO

Marriage? Isn’t anyone interested in live-in relationships anymore. What’s the world coming to!(Sigh!)

Bus seriously, I am a serious taker for love marriage. In my opinion, this is the only true marriage, for the simple fact that this allows a marriage of all faculties of the two persons involved, and not just in terms of the law or of rituals.

For the arranged marriage couples that have worked, here’s a message from me: you have *no* idea how lucky you are!
