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
