The Great Indian Wedding Drama...


We all have been to the great Indian wedding at least once in our lives… We have the groom and the bride, their relatives ,people all nicely dressed up and of course the food that is dished out to the people attending the wedding and everyone eating as if there is no tomorrow...

But this blog is not about the wedding it’s about the conversation that takes place when the guy and girl meet up for the first time. And believe me guys it’s scary …

Now in this modern era the girl and the guy are given their own space to speak to each other… and their families having been already exchange their bio data and god knows what..…and while my friend was narrating this incident to me my mind was playing the scenes of the movie “Hyderabad blues” where nagesh kuknoor friend is sitting along side his would be wife in the drawing room with their families watching them intensely…it was quite funny if you see that scene…

So the guy was what I could make out was all prepared to dish out one question after another to the girl who I am told managed to hold on her own quite well..

And I am thinking is this some sort of an interview that’s going on between a HR guy and interviewee… and only on that basis he/she is going to decide whether they are compatible or not.. I guess is quite a risk because you will be right only 50 % of the time and I am not at all comfortable with such odds…

Statisticians who have nothing better to do have come out with a rather interesting theory. If ones are to believe them 70% of all the romances that’s happening are in the offices/workplace where you’re working and if you lucky enough to fall in those 70 % then you are quite safe…

Otherwise if you looking to get married in future taking some HR crash course won’t harm you…since you will be deciding what’s good for you on the basis of one interview same like those guys when they hire you….scary isn’t it if you get it wrong…

well, yes! I believe interviews could be rather deceptive.... they should have multiferous 'interviews' spread out over half-yearly performance appraisal...( well can't say practically, leave the insane math to the 'HR's in this case ).
An interesting thought...blogged after a long time,eh!!!
