Separating Souls

Marriages and it's waning importance in our society is a much debated and ' post-mortem' ed topic. Nonetheless, it's relevance can never be underestimated. The sheer increase in the number of séparations happening in a small state like ours is intriguing. I wouldn't say that it's surprising, because we are all now aware of it and the glamour of it has weared off. Now the discussions are more concentrated on a reasoning perspective.

Nju was my colleague. She was not exactly the type someone would fall in love. She was stout, physically, mentally not so. She behaved like someone who was untrained for the metro-sexual habits and habitats. She was slow on thoughts and she giggled on jokes uncontrollobly and didn't have any control over herself. It was sure that her nuptial would be a no courtship paternal business. Even while attending her marriage, many among us had doubts on the longevity of her marriage. Within a fortnight of the marriage, the obvious twist was broken to her parents. She's now expected to spend her fertile years going through her divorce papers and attending family courts.

So who's responsible for this? The husband says that his wife is dumb. But, you always feel that it might be the parents who are dumb. Arranged or by choice, there's equal probability of a marriage ending in the drains. Break away from the caste and religion barrier, think about the separating souls. Thinking of all these, makes me feel that leading a misogamist's life will be better than a rickety marriage.
