a page of life…

theres this one incident that hits my mind pretty often...once i 

was travelling to gujrat via the train....n as usual..i landed 

up..amidst a typical...gujju family...and yes...no hard feelins(as i 

am half gujju 2)..most or lets say all gujju females are gossip 

queens...i mean if there was ever a guiness record for gossips n 

baseless talks...m sure gujju females..wud..certainly break 

them!..ok comin back 2 the point when i got in to the train..the 

gujju family of 3-mom,daughter(ya! she was cute)..n an old 

dad..were discussin tha cute lukin gals marriage thingi...initially 

i was not bothered listenin to their chats ..although i couldnt 

avoid..as they were 2 loud..so i jus turned on my mp3 player..but 

after while...i couldnt help but listen 2 them...n yes..the whole 

conversation was a whole lot of fun...as we all know this common 

trend in gujju family is that a guy or girl from abroad comes down 

for bride/bridegroom huntin..n most of the times..they guy or tha 

girl frm abroad(usa in this case) ends up gettin a gud catch..in 

this case the cute luking gal...who i couldnt help but checkout 

couple of times was gettin engaged to this guy...(sum 

jignesh,dharmesh..etc..gujju name)n they had just met in 

mumbai..acc to them the whole thing turned up 2 to be well...but 

then again typical hindi filmy characters..lyk a vamp masi..n 

irritating dadi did exist..as i came 2 know all this..(there again 

they were 2 loud so couldnt stop myself frm overhearing them)..i 

finally stopped thinking about how cute that gal was..n started 

wonderin hows she feelin about the whole thing..its hard 2 imagine 

what u go through wen ur about 2 marry a stranger..or lets a 

guy..whos jus got big bucks(Mr.Gujju-USA)..n a decent family 

background..she wasnt to sure herself...i could see her..ponderin 

over her future...life..m sure it mite be one diff feelin..her 

parents..seem 2 be telling how to go about life...work..be 

nice..obey ur monster...aa..sorry..mother-in-law...she was quitely 

agreeinn...(i told u..she was cute ;)...this whole chat lasted for 

almost 3 hours untill..they slept..i mean...sometimes i feel ppl so 

easily decide over the most significant decisions of their 

lives!jus cos the guys rich doesnt me hez gud..but then i 

guess..thats what arrange marriage is like...eva thought how is it 

goin to be in your case...???then again the same funda comes to 

use..the more u think about anything the more confused u get about 

it...but i personally..feel..wateva is it..arrange or love 

marriage...most important part of is to know the person 

well...after all ur goin 2spendin rest of life with him/her.....wat say?
