Marriage [Humor]

As a blogger this is my first try at Humor. I hope this creates a curve on your face at least as long as you read it. 

I may suck at writing, so, before any of you read any further, I'm inserting a few pictures clicked at recent weddings I attended, to create an aura. 

They say, “To find an age as when a man should get married, the best way is to ask him.”

If he says, Yes! It is certainly not.

If he’s not sure, then you’re just there.

And if he says No! There you go, you've a man who is fit to go round the sacred fire seven times.

What they forgot to add is that, this cycle doesn't end at that stage. After, the prolonged third season, people are back to the first. Some die midway during the third season, never to see the years to come.

Having said this, I've gone through all the three phases and I’m back to first. There was a time when I readily used to say YES, of course at that time I was a baby. All I could think was; so many guests in my house and everyone bringing me chocolates and toys. In my mind, marriage used to be an affair, where I would make a new friend, with whom I can play all day long without getting scolded by my elders for all play and no work.

I think I was partially right when as a kid I said having a wife is like having a friend but instead of being short sighted as playing all day long, I should have thought of playing lifelong.

Now as I grew I started to know things and well, that turned my world upside down and all I could think, marriage, well, it is a social license to “enjoy” (if you know what I mean). Every one of us are like an unstable electron and our octet completes only when we are married. That made sense because as I went deep studying on the topic ‘Sex’, I realized how necessary it is in a society.

Talking about importance, I think it is an unbeatable and unarguable point that, well, we are born out of it. How’s that for a start?

And then the age came, when, I’d say NO to all such questions because in my mind, questions like this embarrassed me. All I could think was “Free Sex” when someone shot me with this question but some people know a witty way to ask questions.

They don’t ask you whether you want to get married or not? They ask you, “What kind of girl would you like to be with?” I was too lame to dodge such type of questions and I replied to the latter one, only to realize a few years later, how my answer was shaped by movies I watch, my personal fetish and how actually innumerable porn or semi porn has taken shelter in my mind. Moreover, it was like having a wife who would just keep your social status in public apart from the other things that I mentioned. Is it really so?

Are wives for that?


When you’re in your very early twenties and you haven’t been with any girl in your entire lifetime, these are the things that circles in your mind. For example, you’re studying and as a result you see a parabola in your textbook, your mind diverts because in the backseat of your mind, there is a constant desire of being with a girl. You search and you “re search” a lot on a topic like this in order to find an answer which you know that you won’t be getting as these are things which are highly susceptible to personal experiences. But still, you try.

So, what are wives for anyway?

Here is an excerpt from Mahabharta, a Hindu mythological epic and the following conversation is one of the most religious and wisest conversation in that text after the so obvious Bhagvad Gita part. Explaining the whole context of it will take up a lot of space and deviate me from the topic and my style of writing, that’s why I’m putting it without any background references. [If you want to know more on this, you can comment below and I’ll be happy to help]



Yaksha: What is the friend bestowed upon man by the demigods?
Yudhisthira: Wife is such a friend.

Yaksha: Since dharma (virtue), artha (profit) and kama (desire) are opposed to each other, how can they co-exist harmoniously?
Yudhisthira: These three become congenial to one another when one has a virtuous wife.

Wives are more than anything you’ll encounter in this world. They are a part of you, an extension of you, without which your whole existence is incomplete. Not only it brings social harmony but at the same time mental and physical stability.
You enjoy the fruits of solitude and at the same time the joy of companionship. It’s like getting the best of both the worlds.
You have a person to laugh with and a shoulder to cry on. Someone who’d love you and make fun of you at the same time.


Counting all these benefits that comes with it, this July when my parents celebrate their 25^th Marriage Anniversary, I’m actually thinking of telling my Mom that “Meri liye Ladki dekhna shuru kr do (Start looking for a girl for me). As soon as my come out of college, I want a degree in one hand and a Biwi (Wife) on the other.” :D :D
