The families meet ,
THEY are made to greet ,
THEY are asked to smile ,
stay fake for a while ,
to impress him or her,
gamble with eachother.
THEY are made to talk ,
or go for a short walk..
In worst cases, they can just sit and see ,
predict and wait for whats going to be..
THEY often talk little ,
and interrupted in middle.
The main issue arises..
the Dowry(an EVIL) thing sizes..
"what will you give
if the deal is fixed?"
The answer they get ,
ask for an extra VAT ;
something like car or furniture
or a bike and a television.
And the meeting gets over
and yes THEY still don't know each other.
They all get back to home,relax and think
from both the sides a survey begins..
"Are the families good enough"
"Is the guy earning well"
and the girl," is she pretty enough and a literate"
afterall who'll look after the kids..!
and the week gets over..
They get in touch again after thinking over
Decision is made
next month,the engagement is set;
the main issue comes again,"thoda len den ki baat karlen?"
and THOSE poor two
still wondering with whom they are getting married to..
the marriage date comes..and finally the marriage is done.
No time THEY got for bonding and understanding;
and above it the kids and their handling..!
THEY fight, THEY adjust, THEY live and laugh..
everything occurs BUT where is the love and understanding?
THEY just fullfill their duties pending..
THEIR poor kids see it all and think
why the hell their parents married..
Everyone stays happy and satisfied
EXCEPT the poor THEY who had an arrange marriage..
