Marriages are made in Heaven, but what to do we live on Earth

Why does a love marriage happen? 92% Illayaraja music, 2% movies and 6% could be some miscellaneous factors. One of such factors is due to the thrill you get, marrying a girl you have ‘sighted’, challenged your friends to make her fall in love with you, marrying a girl who knows your positives and negatives (obviously you know only her positives until then) and see the same girl as a bride next to you. These yearn for thrill of teenagers and youngsters have made many movie-love stories to be a blockbuster.

Are arranged marriages not full of thrill?
Mate, you should experience the occasion of family ‘sight’seeing, food served by the girl’s mom and supervised by the girl’s father (thiyagi!!!). In a couple of months, you will be engaged to the girl with whom you would have been a soft natured ‘Arvindswamy’.

The heart beat beats and as the D-day nears you, you are filled with confusions asking suggestions from your flat watchman to your uncle, who has 2 kuthiyas (wife + 2) about marriage and life after marriage (!!).

After an arranged marriage, you are left only with 2 options. The girl should be even to you and you have to accept her or the girl should be odd, even then you have to accept.

Difference between an arranged marriage and a love marriage is


· In a love marriage, the bride and the groom would be happy while the rest of the family is confused.

· In an arranged marriage the bride and the groom is confused and the entire family is happy and elated.

Whether you opt for a love marriage or an arranged marriage, the philosophy is:

“Loving a girl is different from living with a girl”

So mind the gaps. Philosophies arise as soon as you marry….Just like that!
