MARRIAGES ON FAST TRACKS.

TIME......
T = FOR TODAY
I = FOR INSTANT
M= FOR MARRIAGE
E = FOR EXIT

These four words have taken away the joy, cheerfulness, celebration from today's marriages, which are becoming a 12 hour or maximum of 24 hour programme, or in other words arrangements....There are EVENT MANAGERS, ARRANGERS on people's gates to get a lumpsum amount for arranging everything from engagement to departure within the shortest time the bride, groom or their parents have in their hands...I mention this that even the small towns, cities are coming under this grip, where life was a joy...In cosmopolitans, time was there but marriage halls were available for few hours and the rest enjoyment they did in homes, hotels etc.

2. Main thing is that the bride and groom have no leave from their jobs or studies and they come on short notice and fly back to their destination with the ''TIED KNOT''. Honeymoon will be fixed later when they both get time....it is charmless physical intimacy, they are compelled to adopt.

3. Recession has also increased their problems of getting few days for the sacred ceremony, which looks like a time-pass for few hours. They are afraid of losing the job. Therefore, the engagement = 2 hours
marriage = 3 hours
reception = 3 hours = total 8 hours for an Indian sacred ceremony, which took nearly 3 days to complete with lots of guests, music, dancing, singing, lunch, dinners etc....This had come down to two days and now in one day i.e. 24 hours, including arrival and departure of parties from both sides....and the arrangement is left in the hands of Event Managers from rly bookings, reservations to band, pundits, hall, photo, video,mehendi, invitation cards, reception, taxis and till departure of every single guest....

4, WATCHES ARE THEIR NEW BOSSES AND THEIR EYES ARE ON NEEDLE OF THE SECONDS THEN MINUTES AND LATE COMES THE HOUR.......LORD FORBID FROM THE YEARS TO COME.......life is losing its LIVING charm-HOW TO LIVE WITH LIFE?...................gshroti@gmail.com

PARENTS--TAKE CARE OF CHILDREN

Job, service, home, society--where to establish the balance amontst the family of 3 or 4 or more....The sufferer is the child....he is demoralised, in friends (if he is an introvert) because of no backing support....he goes more within pself...this is the time he needs the support of parents or other elders if it is a joint family....If he is flabby or fatty, he may be teased outside and in home too. He feels hurt, if particularly not cared by the parents or even teased by them also....opposite there are children, who has the natural ability to defend themselves...

For example, Monica was teased by her friends and at home occasionally...But she had the hard skin, little caring for those words....and will eat as she likes, just in return to retaliate....She studied well and came always first...THIS IS THE EXAMPLE OF COOL MIND.....But here we are more concerned of the children in general, who are easy targets, for no fault of theirs....Here parents play an important role to boost the child's confidence in his tender age. They shd make their child feel secure and comfortable and having a positive self image.......to continue
