Else you may just dream




It was a quite Sunday evening. Looking out of my room’s window, I could see the sun moving down and finally it went away.

I was trying to keep track of time. It happened to me how time has flown away in the last couple of weeks, months, years. Life has changed completely in many ways.

In the last couple of months, I have been stupefied by various happenings. I didn’t have the courage to write.

Just a few months back one of my best friends was struggling to convince his parents to marry his girlfriend. We were discussing various way outs and then we came up with “Theory of multiple choices – Love Marriage.” Believe me, this is the best name two engineers can come up with.

We decided that first and foremost thing, he will make it clear to his parents that he will marry the girl of his choice, but parents are free to choose from a list of options. We came up with a list of girls with a mix of odd profiles based on religion, caste, height, weight, etc.  In a list, there were four girls such that combination will result in inter-religion, inter caste or had height/weight issues. No offenses to anyone here. Because parents contended that girl and boy can’t be from the same city, we created combinations focusing on larger issues i.e. girl and boy can’t be from different religion/caste, etc.

After listening to ambitious plans of my friend, his parents were able to appreciate the fact that there is a girl on the list who is from the same city but has same religion, caste and fulfills their other criteria of height/weight, family background, etc. Same town issue came out as a minor one and obvious choice to them. Finally, his parents agreed, and he is getting married soon.

Creating odd combinations can be a good idea to many others as well. If it is inter-caste, you can create odds for inter-religion, inter-country, interstate, etc. else you may just dream.
