Arraged Marriage vs Love Marriage – This was once a popular Topic in group dicussions. In our hostel there used to be some mock GDs, I remember those quarrels now. GDs are of no use. The statements are just thrown and the people in the discussion receive very selectively. Because of this, it becomes tough for a person to conclude. It so happens that he blabbers something to finish it off.

Ok coming back to square one: Arranged vs Love, they always contend very close.

Arranged one, generally brings peace in the Family and thrill in the newly weds. Peace because of the consensus made on the bride and the groom. And thrill since the married ones are very new to each other and will be fun for sure in knowing the other person. If it is beauty for brides, it would be jobs for the grooms that decides the marriage partners and nothing more. Maybe in somecases the people around will try to force this equation

Bride( Beauty, Dowery ) == Groom( Salary, Education, Assets )

The parameters that decide the Bride and Groom will prove nothing to the Bride or the Groom after their marriage. The B & G are arranged/brought together, by people who in no way concerned, to co-exist for the rest of their life.

Enough of artifically made-up marriages, we’ll move to the naturas ones. Love Marriages are based on:

Bride( X ) == Groom( X )

where X = anything/everything/unknown

Here the convincing part is, both B & G depend on the same X and the equality is established naturally with no force. Someone said, “Love cannnot bought. But you need to pay heavily for it”. Yeah, this is how the X gets its meaning. “Pay” not necessarily mean Rupees but Kindness, Tolerance, Sacrifice, and lot more. You and Me need not bother on what the X is and how does it equate. Now given this equation to the B & G’s parents, they’ll try to prove it under certain conditions like Caste, Social/Financial Status, etc which are merely Don’t Cares. Do they check the necessary ones like Behaviour, Responsibilities, etc first? Never!!.

Got an E398 thro’ the Motorola Ambassador Program. Costed me 10,460 INR. Its a good deal for its features: 64MB TransFlash, Bluetooth, Camera, MP3 Playback, MPEG4 Video, WAP 2.0, Imports from Outlook, SpeakerPhone, 3D Surround, Rhythmic Lights, VoiceDial, USB Data Cable, HeadSet… What else u may require?

Contented of owning it, I turned towards BSNL for their Excel PrePaid, the cheapest among the existing ones. 9448019470 is my GSM identifier. This is a move towards building a Social Network. wanna shake with me?

Update: I got this connection thro’ the Tatkal scheme, paid 3526 INR for a talktime of worth 3000 INR and its valid for an year. Hehehe I’m commiting myself to stay in B’lore atleast for a year more. >:O)

People talk lot about Delicious [ http://del.icio.us/] as the new avatar
of Social Networking. There’s lot of BookMarks, I have collected over a
period of 16 months, I thought of organizing those. *tags/rss/api*
sounded rosy. Also wanting to preserve and to access from anywhere, I
signed for an account recently.

1st Shock – There is no way of importing the existing links/bookmarks
into DelIcioUs. The about page says, “It allows you to easily add sites
you like to your personal collection of links, to …” – “Easily”? Isn’t
the Old is Gold? I shud accept it is still in BETA. Hoping it to improve
and serve me better. Del-I-C-io-U-s.
