Two families gather, a guy and a girl meet, lot of discussions take place and finally everyone disperses. Few more days are spent in horoscopes, taking concurrence from other members of the family and whole lot of other decision-making processes. Finally, the guy says yes and the girl is all the more happy (or at least she seems so).
A day before the guy’s parents are to leave to fix the engagement date, a stranger meets up with the prospective groom (PG) just to tell him, “Sir, am in love with the girl. Please help me”. A little chat with the prospective bride gives no indication to negate the stranger’s words. What can the PG possibly do under such a circumstance?
I can understand that confronting parents might not be an easy task. But, why drag an innocent guy and the family behind him into your story. You are not only putting a blameless guy into lot of emotional stress, but also an entire close knit family under tremendous pressure.
When you meet the guy/girl in private for 5 mins, you need not try to understand the other person completely. The least you can do is at least come out with any grievance you might have against going ahead with the proposal.
P.S. This is a true incident as old as just a week in my friend’s life.

//then why fall into the trap in the first place?//
ReplyDelete1)heart takes over head....
2)effect of hormones....
Ooops...To cut down on the number of words, I had edited those lines before even reading your comment !
ReplyDelete:o) My point was not agaist falling in love... it was just about why a third person should be dragged into it, for no fault of his !
Sorry to hear abt ur friend Somu,but I guess it was just their selfishness that had brought it up till here!
ReplyDeleteI hope it get's resolved with no complications.
before dragging someone and his family in, the bride should have tolds this... reminds me of the movie Roja, where vaishnavi uses those 5 minutes to express her opinion to aravindswamy...
ReplyDeleteVery true Somu. Its so insenstive that the third person is being dragged into this. but sometimes, how can u tell a third person something which u dread telling ur parents...
ReplyDeleteI totally support ur thoughts, just another thought - how can a girl or a guy tell the third person something.. what would be the consequences...
Hope ur friend comes out of this soon
Yes. Obviously, it's not right drag a innocent person into this.
ReplyDeleteReson for not telling earlier:
Probably, she wanted to have this option open too. If that guy had not brought this up, the marriage would have gone smooth.
Good that it was brought at least now :)
Whooops! Sorry to hear about your friend having to go through this! Wishing him all the best for the right decision! :)
ReplyDelete@Marc
ReplyDeleteThanks. It is resolved without any further complication... we are so glad that all this happened as early as this... any later than the stage it was in would have spelt diaster.
@Naikutti
Lol ! Infact we keep teasing him that he was never given the oppurtunity to be the Roja Adavind Swamy :o)))
@Art
My friend was mature enough and hence he never even let the whole thing bother him... It's just that we are a lil frustrated that someone could be as insensitive.
@Krish
Lol ! That's heights of selfishness... now what is the point in falling in love if you cannot face the consequences... ...
And just imagine if it had (am sure it wud have) come out later
@Swapna
Thanks... Infact Roja was what was running in our minds too when we heard it...
@Ravi
Thanks a lot... At one point we take decisions and move on... and that's what he did... No hurt, no pain :o)
