it's that season of the year again
when all 'so called' eligible guys and girls,feel the same old pain
all the worried parents turn on the heat
to achieve what they feel,is the most important feat,'MARRIAGE'
even this newspaper is carrying that ad,
not quite knowing how much they make innocent young people sad
'wanted: bride for a handsome guy',
although,even the guy knows in his heart,he isn't quite that,how much ever he may try
the bride should be tall
this is the minimun requirement of the parent-turned-hungry animal,on the prowl
the girl should be fair,
certainly,she should be having long,black.glistening hair
the unwritten condition though is,her behaviour would be closely assessed,as though through a lens
obviously,to bear with the whims & fancies of her in laws,she should have patience,& in abundance
now comes the more important search for the groom
for he's the one who is as meticulously searched for,as though searching for a dust grain,sweeped by a broom
he should be tall,handsome & dark,
doesn't really matter if the contrast between him & the prospective bride is quite stark
in lakhs he should be earning
never mind if post marriage,for some other prettier faces,he develops a yearning
he should have no drug or similar dependence
who cares if his behaviour makes the bride so tense,as if sitting on a fence
now comes the most important aspect
which the familes never fail to inspect
the prospective bride & groom should be of the same caste
which is really ironical,coz who knows the surnames of the good samaritans;or those who are behind deadly bomb blasts
it's quite unfortunate,
but allow me to state,
i dearly hope our generation can change this,mate....
even if,it's a just a tad late
