Bags and Coins
The human heart in its innate nature; is like a big brown bag, full of coins that we use on occasions.
Sometimes, we share coins willingly, sometimes unknowingly; but as time goes on, our bags are emptied out. We lose our coins, in exchange of a richer future, or a deal that falls flat. Relationships are much like bags; where coins are gained, exchanged, donated, lost, and sometimes, even stolen. This blog is an attempt to capture the essence of such relationships, not as a mere survival guide to those who are in the process of marital arrangements; through friends, family, online media and social networking, but as a means of acquiring a perspective, which over a period of time can be lost.
This is dedicated to my many friends and all those people, who shared this perspective with me, through numerous hours of conversations- over coffee, food and alcohol.
Hmm..
This blog is the result of an animated discussion about the mechanics of arranging marriage in India.. Seen not through the eyes of the protagonists, but rather through the eyes of the hapless victims, the single people. The twenty-somethings (or in my case, thirty something) who experience the trials and tribulations of premarital mating.
