“Marriages are made in heaven.”
I always kept dreaming, “A handsome prince will drive me through a luxurious life.” This is what every girl thinks and the same was with Henna. Henna was from a middle class family (Delhi based), happy and excited about the smallest thing in life, life was a roller coaster ride for her , average in studies , a very good painter, her paintings used to always the resemble the person she was.
She made lot of friends, they all used to love and care for her, who will not love a person who is full of talent and fun to be with.
Her mother was a housewife, Father a government servant, brother an MBA. As usual her parents were worried about her future, the worrying starts since the day a girl is born, when henna was 19 she started getting marriage proposals , and she was desperately waiting for prince charming , finally one proposal clicked, it was a rich family (from Marwar) ,Akshar – the boy was very handsome, it was love at first sight for Henna, she was madly in love with Akshar, they were engaged and the marriage was supposed to take place 3 months after engagement… All this was a dream come true for Henna.
Henna’s father was tensed, as he did not have enough source to arrange finance for her wedding. Cos' there were more demands than expected , Finally he decided to sell his only property his house…He did not mention about it at home. He requested the new owner of the property to let him stay on rent for four months.
The Marriage Day-
Friends, Relatives …everyone attended the wedding, it was a lavish celebration, a day to remember, Henna was in seventh heaven! She just couldn’t take her eyes off akshar.
The First Night-
WOW! This night is full of hopes, excitement and ‘of course n everlasting wish in life.
However it was not the case with henna, as she entered the room, she was the bed was decorated with roses and there was a young lady waiting for her in the room….Whos’ She? This was the first thing which came into mind….
Let’s cut the story short …'m mean you have to suggest the rest :)
What do you think, who’s that young lady??
Sister –in-law, First Wife, Girlfriend, Secretary, Vamp …that’s what you and me are thinking – We all are influenced by T.V. serials, not only in reel life but also in real life , we are implementing the same thoughts, may what the situation or circumstances are.
We have forgotten and lost the charm of first love, sacred marriage, union of two hearts, this all are mere poetic words for us. Marriages are made in heaven; often this has been written and spoken. But how many people really understand what it means?
Today, Marriage is like a short term business plan; definition of marriage has depreciated and reduced to a mere contract for legalized union of bodies, an arrangement for legally satisfying our lust and not our dream. There is no dream partner or dream life with the partner anymore. Two people fall in love, get married and realize that they have committed a big mistake in life.
Divorce is increasing among young newly wedded couples. Relationship between two people moves faster than light…
It is not the “HE” or “SHE” to be blame; both are equally responsible and influenced.
Let’s put an effort to nurture a relationship, which will be long and everlasting. Make an attempt to try and prevent this degradation of definition of marriage and use marriage as a relationship for evolution of universal love, rather , than as a short term relationship tool to fulfill our thirst for lust. I am sure there would be no divorces, no more unhappily married couple, and no marital affairs – when we start seeing our partner (husband /wives) in a larger role.
We all want a happy ending…somewhere we all want to see henna happy, it is your pure and beautiful thought about a relationship which will complete this story.
Married and lived happily everafter!
This is really cool.. and nice thoughts.. Open minded thoughts..
ReplyDeleteLived happily ever after – Once Upon a Time #FairyTalesReversed in Time. Well said: Nurture marriage.
ReplyDeleteReflects the truth in today's society. Of course, this can change but each person has to contribute for the change - not only the prospective brides and grooms but their parents, in laws, and relatives. May take some time but its not impossible to achieve a better society where people marry and live happily ever after.

ReplyDeleteThanks @sangeetha
ReplyDelete@DreamsCentral , so ur name is Arun , Hi'...nice thoughts ..Thank you :)
ReplyDeleteMarriages have traveled a lot from Heaven to the contract paper. Sad for the couple but worth for the families.
ReplyDeletevery true @Vishal
ReplyDelete…'m mean you have to suggest the rest :) ....I don't know y but I liked that phrase a lot...
ReplyDeleteAnd I am ready to give Henna a good life...if she is ready..Henna, I love u..
Wonderful Post. Very True.
ReplyDeleteBut I disagree a little. I feel there are still people for whom marriage is a sacred bond which never breaks. I have seen such wonderful couple in my life, the story of my next novel is inspired by them. Even I have my prince charming who has helped me to not only dream which I almost had forgotten but also made efforts to reach it. Its because of him my novel "Trapped Wings Open Sky is published and doing great. :) But yes agree that there are few such example. But wish that every gal gets her partner who at least try to understand her feelings n if not happy doesn't make her sad too and do not restrain her to dream n move ahead.
God bless you. thank you!
knock knock..Henna...Someone's in love with u :) @jicks
ReplyDeleteTrue! Exceptions r there one of them is "ME" :)Very Happy ..Touchwood! BUt have a witnessed a few and was very dissappointed..Nice to know you are writing a book, waiting for you to complete it, I'll be one of the readers! Thanx for sharing ur valuable thoughts!!
ReplyDeleteNice post, Marriages are made in Heaven but many a times it turns out to be a Life Long Compromise...though can't say so for the present generation, but again still there are many young, dreamy eyed girls waiting for their prince charming... A Bond like marriage needs a lot of patience & understanding ur partner ^_^
ReplyDelete@sonu thanks for the comment very nice thought :)
ReplyDelete:) Bless you :) :):) Thank you! ye one in market and another in PC :)
ReplyDeleteGood one...my marriage was a love marriage. Only mistake now we can realize that the relations of two families are not yet started from past 7 years.
ReplyDelete@Manu please let know what it is named , eager to check :)
ReplyDeleteTrue thought, but today's scenario marriage is not made in heaven, it made on money, thirst and lust for maximum peoples, demanding dowry, big arrangements etc., it's sad for both families relation and couples..
ReplyDeleteAwe! @Hariharanchembath, I will pray for you, things will be better soon...:)
ReplyDeletevery true @nishaant..Thanks for sharing ur thoughts!
ReplyDeletethere is no guarantee in any marriage love or arrange, understanding or mutual bonding is guarantee only, even i can say in hindi, Aaj Kal Guy or Gal dono shaadi karte hue darte hain...
ReplyDeletethan @nishannt
ReplyDeletewow ... nice one much better than expected
ReplyDeleteThanx @Kaveer :)
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteThis is very true. This is exactly what I feel about this generation getting into relationship.. What I feel is people these days rush into relationships without understanding the responsibilities and future implication. A mere imfatuation is termed as LOVE. But alas, that's altogether a different story.
By the way, somehow I felt the story is incomplete. Was it intentional to keep the *SHE* in last statement unknown?? Or you got yourself into different flow by then??
@prasad :) thanks for ur comments, yes intentionally the story was kept incomplete , I have mentioned that soemone can complete the story and share how she or he will end it... :)
ReplyDeleteWell written,infact postponed the reading of this blog to evening time after I had seen yr tweet in the morning,as wanted to understand the complete picture of your blog.
ReplyDeleteWalking side by side with hands being held together by the "prince and princess"becomes lot more essential in the later part of the life,and not just till the honeymoon period.
Excellent write up,cheers
Thank you so much @umesh for share your thoughts : ur thoughts were indeed a fact, and you presence on my blog is very encouraging for me :)
ReplyDeleteApparently the girl sitting on the bed was Neeru and Akshar stands nervously almost hiding behind the curtains. Henna is taken aback not shocked, gathers her wits and esquires with Akshar.
ReplyDeleteNeeru apparently is a childhood friend of Akshar, and she now lives in Las Vegas, and flew down for the wedding. When they were kids Akshar had lost a bet to Neeru. The loss demanded that Neeru will test Akshars wife soon after marriage and if girl fails the test it would mean Neeru will spend the first night with the couple... if not she will leave.
Neeru apparently expected Henna to cry and make a scene.. a rock solid Henna actually surprised Neeru and she had to leave the couple alone.
Dejected Neeru leaves.. when Akshar says "hey look my wife is stronger than you and smarter too" Then he looks at Henna and says "Thanks Henna for not showing any anger or surprise.. " for which Henna on a lighter vein says " My darling Akshar.. I dont think you can ever shock me unless I permit you" as they switched off the light leaving Akshar gather his wits in the darkness of the first night.
This is just fantastical, superb..was looking someone to complete the story..what a thought completely floored...Thank you @Benedict! Its just awesome!!!
