Star Wars

When it is dark enough, you can see the stars. – Persian proverb

For me the stars have always been:

> Serene: For the cold blue light they give during the summer evenings.
> Expensive: Of all the times I do mischief, I get caught during the night. Be it jumping over the girlfriend’s balcony, smoking at the end of the street thinking dad is fast asleep, shouting Australia m******d after India loses to them…
> Romantic: Picture this. Summer evenings. Girl by your side. Corner seats at Eatstreet, facing the tankbund. Chocolate Cake and Irish Coffee. Millions of stars in the horizon. Need I say more?
> A cool thing to add to your gaali: You burger..Don’t yap okay? I give you one.. you will see stars in your day.. all your grandfather hau***s.. – From Mumbai by Javed Jaffrey (OST Bombay Boys).

But today, they mean something else to me – tragedy, darkness, heartbreak, but impossible to avoid!

Few days back, I fell and felt in love for the 32483rd time! It was with this girl whose profile was put up in BM (bharatmatrimony for the uninitiated). This one was straight out of the south-indian saas-bahu serials (pinni, tulasi, chakravakam etc..). Lovely eyes. Dimples. Perfect pretty smile. You know the temple-going types. The ones that are favs for any MIL. I quickly sent across a “I'm am interested”, “will marry you”, “would do anything for you” etc kinda message.
While I was humming ilayraja’s tunes, and dreaming of a honeymoon in the Arabian sea, something happened. I get a mail from her father. They declined. Reason – stars did not match. :(

Apparently, my horoscope is supposed to be really good (like I care a damn if it is good) but sadly matches with only a few. I don’t deny that I am inclined towards astrology, and do believe in it to an extent. But would definitely say F******* to the stars if I have to lose a pretty girl.

What about all the couples in the west? Are stars the reason they get easily separated. What about all the couples who either decide to break away from families or elope? Are there not many who are happy? - The hitches of being an obedient son. I should have eloped when I would I have enjoyed it.

This is so unfair. Have you ever seen a dog not mate during the mating season, and wait for the astrologer? Have you ever known a horse breeder who matches the stars of the stud with other horse before letting them mate. - The perils of being a human being.

All this brings me back to the original question - Is marriage necessary at all?

Like the previous couple of days, the follow matrimony ads did put back the cheer in my life:

HAVE MORE PATIENTS AND NOT SO BEAUTIFUL AND GOOD UNDERSTANDING
Patients? Works part time in a hospital.

I am a GSA working in an 4 Star hotel in Hyderabad.I love to party on weekends currently with parents, i have 2 sisters both married.my father was expire. I go for movies, watch cricket and i love music music etc, Looking for someone who is bubbly and likes to explore new things along with me.
Party with parents on weekend? Where? In Birla mandir? Father was expire? And above all she works in the hospitality industry. But overall I like her. Again one of those kinky types who likes to explore new things…

Bold but looks homely! Sita and Gita rolled into one.

I AM LITTLE TALKATIVE AND MORE FRINDLY TO EVERYONE. MY STRENGTH MAKING FRIENDS. MY CONFIDENT MY FAMILY. I BELEIVE MYSELF MORE DEPENDING ON OTHERS.

Deranged marriage

Been a long time.. In the long time, been there done that.. So no more flashbacks. No more revolving tortoise coils in the background. I am here to make a new start.. a new beginning!
The news is me getting married.. rather trying to get married. Finally I have given into parental pressure and have agreed to get married. This time, thankfully for them, its a girl of their choice. So me is the king now.. Me can pick and choose.. Me can ask her anything.. oh yeah! ME IS THE KING! :D (i can see laks, joy, and molay infuriated)

Apart from the usual freinds, foes, family, and other contacts; my parents have promptly gone ahead and embraced technology. They have me registered in Bharatmatrimony and Shaadi.com. So now, its prime time comedy every single day! Why? Read on to find some of the profiles that Bharatmatrimony thinks are good matches for me. Names have been withheld without request. Also, my thoughts about each of the profiles..

OURS is neuclar family consisting one daughter and son, hailing from west godavari tradational and educated, searching for same lines for a groom either side of software engineer or doctor or army or IPS or IAS.My daughter is an soft ware engineer brought up in a educated atmosphere under tradational shelter.
Educated atmosphere and traditional shelter … bole toh kya re?

father of bride is an ex.execute of bank and now practising advoate AND mother is house wife and the son is prosecuting engineering
forget abt the spelling mistakes.. WTF is “prosecuting engineering”??


She is looking very homely.she respected our traditional values. we are joint family, she loses her father,she is having mother and two younger sisters. one sister is working as a opthamalasist and another one is doing her graduation.mother is house wife.

She looks like a home. She has a doorbell, windows with curtains, etc..

Dark skinned BUT very fast learner. Never knew the color of your skin determined you learning abilities. In that case, I am very learning-impaired! :(

In my childhood my mother knows Jesus Christ. I also fallowed her way. I tasted Jesus. So we search a guy who is accepted Jesus in life.
