This has been running in our society for ages that parents would always say "NO" to every decision their child makes -
"Daddy, can i go for a movie?'
"NO"
"Mamma, can i have that ice cream?"
"NO"
"Mamma & Daddy, can i go to sleep?"
"NO"
"NO" for everything.. Then, imagine how it'd be when it comes to marrriage.
"Love" relations are most of the times treated as a sin.. Arrrgh!!! Guys isnt that cool to find a guy/gal whom u think u can spend the rest of ur life with happily like most of the movies show?? What's so wrong about it?? As if "arranged marriages" are always a success!
In many cases, they say "no" coz
1. the guy/gal their child found is :
- not from a financially sound family - oh yeah !! dowry is a crime but still they think its bloody cool to give n take lakhs n crores as if u r buying them from a grocery shop !!
- not from the same caste - hello? what's this caste thing all about? Some hypocrite put forward for their sake n millions are still folowing it meaninglessly!
- not from the same religion - huh.. forget about it !! we cant even imagine about our child getting married to some one in another caste, n you are talking about religion !!!
- has got a horoscope which says if these two get married your grandfather's grandfather's soul will not get moksha - Hell with it!!
- the child of someone, whoz sister-in-law's mother's sister's husband's mother's uncle's son's wife's aunt had an inter caste marriage ! - Errrrrr... what??? Oh yeah...! There's someone from another caste in thefamily ! oh, i see!
- has got a pot belly - huh? Y in the world!!! - if i dont have a problem with his/her goddamn it looks, what's bothering you??
- is elder - now, that's a pretty unique case - the gal should always be younger... if not, that's another sin !!! We are all done mentioning about Sachin Tendulkar, Abhishek Bachchan and their wives...
- a non- veggie !! no comments !!
They have millions of other reasons too which we wouldnt even imagine in our dreams !!
Children these days are too smart - they dont wanna elope, they dont want their parents to say "no" to their relation, so they enquire about each and everything about someone whom they are attracted to before getting into a relation- from their dad's bank balance to how many times a day they brush their teeth, so that the parent wouldnt find one small mistake to reject it, n they can have a safe, settled life ahead. Still these parents would say no, for the reason being their child chose his/her partner on her own which inturn is parents' duty! WTF !!
We live in a world where in countries other than ours, parents doubt their child's sexual orientation if he/she doesnt have a BF or GF...." Living together" is so much in !! And poor your children, they dont have a GF/BF just to have "fun", they want to get "married" as you want them to be. Still you are showing your f**king attitude !! Is that coz, J (J for Jealousy) works in you as u were not able to marry the one you loved coz of uir parents ;)
If the child seem to be strong enough on their decision, then there comes the Emotional torture - emosanal atyacchaar as we call it. Stiill, if the child doesnt give a damn, then comes the famous dialogue "You will understand only when u become a parent".... As if parents are meant only to reject child's wishes...
If in case they quit the task of convincing you n plan to elope, and then, that's one hell of a crime u've done... U'll be wrapped with curses....And if u choose to end up ur life, then they'd come up sayin' u cud've tried a bit more to convince us..(i dont support both though) Arrrghhhhhh.... Gimme a break !!!!
And finally, when the child somehow manages to convince parents and gets back to his/her love, he/she might have got married someone else!
ENNA KODUMAI SIR ITHU" :'(
So parents, just chuck it.. after all its their life, let them live with whoever they want... Y torturing them..? Its quite obvious that, u r doing this for the sake of the good-for-nothing "society" who u meet at some party or that sort, who'd ask youy ur child did so... Listen, this society has nothing to do wid your life, they're always their to crticize or to blame... So let ur child's wish be done... Whether their marriage wud be a success or failure that's upto them.. They choose it, so whatever happens is what their deed brings them.. And still if you wanna go for the society, mind you, the society's not gonna feed you at your oldage... If u go against ur child's wish, dont blame them when they dump u in some oldage home ;)
PS : This has nothin' to do with me, my life or my parents...!!
ha ha! completely agree. It seems unlikely the hypocrites will discard this behaviour.

ReplyDeleteThank u bhaskar :)
ReplyDelete@mohi Thank u :)
Maybe they doesn't want someone with a potbelly in all the wedding pictures. just kidding.
ReplyDeleteOn a serious note, this happens in other countries too, i mean some cultures in Spain and Italy , even disown their kids if they marry someone outside their province or someone who doesn't speak the same dialect. Its universal.
Isn't this worse than racism. I guess so.
Haha... may be ;) but i really dont understand y people fall for goddamn looks ! not just parents, but everyone around cares just about looks... haaaa, as i was mentionin' i'd have married one of my friends, my mom said, "but he's so dark"...! y in the world!
ReplyDeleteAnyways, i do agree, all these are quite common in certain other countries as well.. but i guess, there, theyhave this freedom to live their life the way they want atleast to an extent.. hmmph!
