Happily unmarried
Today I was passing through the living room. I heard a deep voice of a guy coming out of the television. The guy was India's first superhero shaktimaan playing some lame role in a soap opera. It was funny at first but then the humor faded. Come to think of it, the shaktimaan who could fight villains is overpowered by social vamps. It marks the demise of superheroes and the victory of the social vamps.
Someone recently wrote on the feedback form that a girl he was in a relationship with and broke up over some silly reason, after reading the post 'P.S I love you' came back into his life. This is quite ironic because I somewhat played the role of cupid in their case whereas all of you would agree that I have all the traits of a devil.
I was looking for my next story for the past few days. I found it yesterday.
I was actually at an info session of higher studies abroad. I ran into a guy who had come along with his elder sister. They were the children of the owner of TDI malls. That guy wanted to go for his higher studies abroad and on finding out that I am from IIT, they were asking me for advice on the choice of university they should make. I was helping them out with the information I had (I had no information, I was just flaunting my IIT brand name). The sister took my number for further queries.
She texted me at around 7 in the evening with a query. I replied back at 12 at night saying that I was feeling used. She laughed and asked "What do you want?". I said "Tell me more about yourself". It is her story what I will talk about.
She was born and brought up in Delhi. After school she opted for fashion designing. She didn't like it so she dropped out of college. After a couple of years her parents married her to an NRI. She shifted to the states. Her husband turned out to be a real jerk. He was a heavy drinker and smoker. After suffering for three years, she could take it no more. She filed for a divorce and came back to her parents.
After a couple of years, she met a guy. She liked him a lot and the feeling was mutual. He instantly asked her to marry him and went to her parents to ask for her hand. They didn't have a problem, they just wanted to see her happy.
She married him and shifted along with him to Rajasthan where he lived. Some differences popped up and then one day she committed the biggest mistake of her life. Something which she still regrets. She asked him for a divorce. He obliged her with her request and filed for a divorce.
So she is back home in Delhi now trying to reconcile but as they say 'a glass once shattered cannot be mended'. She can't face the society with all its baseless judgements, again. She still loves him and wants him back in her life.
People often ask me why I don't believe in getting married anytime soon. I give them a very simple analogy, if you stick two plates together with glue, you use something to restrict them together. Marriage is like that restriction. The glue (love) should be strong enough to hold the two plates (people) together. You shouldn't be needing restrictions (legal documents of marriage) to hold you together.
Earlier the movies used to end with a car being driven on the road with the sign 'happily married'. I feel that I should drive a car with a sign 'happily unmarried'.
