For Matrimonial Purposes


i had read this book called "FOE MATRIMONIAL PURPOSES"..its by far one of the most nicest and most true to life books i have read in recent times..hilarious..
here are some of the quotes in that book..some of them crack me up..thot i wud put them up here..not sure how many copyrights i am breakin but wat the heck..

1)The normal religious marriage was and is still arranged my the parents of the couple,after much consultation,and the study of the omens,horoscopes and auspicipus physical characteristics

2)It is highly improper for a young man or woman to take the initiative for his or her own marriage.With the spread of education nowadays the boy and grl are given a chance to see each other unlike the old days when the couple met on the day of the wedding.

3)The scriptures prohibits the sacrifise of female animals, but in the case of human beings,sacrifising females gives the greatest satisfacation..

4)The father who does not give away his daugther in marriage at the proper time is censurable.

5)Discrimination between the sexes in India begins at birth,or even before it.It starts before the child is born,in the mother's womb.None of the conventional blessings showered upon a pregnant woman mentions daughters!!!!!

6)Women must be honoured and adorned by their fathers,brothers,husbands and brothers-in-law who desire great good fortune.Where women,verily are honoured,there the gods rejoice;where,however,they are not honoured all sacred rites prove fruitless.Where the female relations live in grief-that family perishes.

7) My love,my true mate
Lost by the Fates
Found by the moon.
My love,my true mate
Come to me
Now,dont delay

This is a love spell to be repated 3 times
NOW WE KNOW Y ITS CALLED HONEY MOON..(HA HA HA)

8)A college boy,instead of adopting what the West would call an enlightened view,came to see his diploma as a sign of increased worth,enabling his parents to demand more dowry for him!!!

9)..I looked at the vast numberes of ordinary,non-psychotic women who have faced that not marrying is not the end of the world..

10)And now we come to the Big Road..the Great Road which is the backbone of all Hind..such a River of life as nowhere else exists in the world


and many more similar ones..decided to spare u..but if u do get ur hands on the book please do give it a read..awesome book

then and now

There comes a period in everyone's live which acts as a defining moment..Well not defining.. but a realization dawns.. and that happened last week. I did something that I had never wanted to do all my life and had been postponing for atleast 3 years.When I left Chennai on Aug 14th 2005, I knew that the next time I come back home it would be as someone else's wife or fiance atleast!!! And well it turned out that I was right(as usual!!!!)

After severe nagging from my mom I got down to cleaning my cupboard.This was my dad's cupboard and it had been passed down to me.The chocolate brown Godrej with "Kumar" written on its side..In some weird mood or childish whim I had filled the front of it with stickers..

I came down to the task of sorting out the stuff..Michelle and me making plans to kill Pitchaikannu(the guy who wrote the 12th Math Text Book), notes to Div and Janani about what to do on the weekend, scrapbooks from 6th to 10th..The history project I had done in 7th.. Old OD forms with KRL's signatures..Tickets to Titanic..Tickets of the first Saarang I went to..Tickets to the AR Rahman Concert and the Bryan Adams Concert..The project document on which the prof wrote"Best Wishes to the Best Student" all this and much much more..It all had to go...

And then came the stuff that I could not bear to throw away.. The posters I has collected over the years, greeting cards from friends over the years and certificates and medals I had gotten over the years..The letter of invitation inviting my parents for my Investiture, special passes to the sports day for my folks,friendship bands from friends...

This was essentially letting go off my childhood..Something I had refused to do..I personally believe that a person should hold onto the innocence and the childhood for as long as he/she can.. Well I just let go of mine..

But for all the kids out there.swats,mittu,rj etc..guys hold onto it for as long as u can kiddos..mmmuuuah

(*hint hint-- general can I hold onto my childhood..please pretty please)
