People trot out statistics on how arranged marriages are less likely to end in divorce, without accounting for the fact that people in arranged marriages might feel more pressure because they are not just divorcing their spouse, but implying that their parents made a mistake.

(This luxury they complain, is not available in love-marriages) And then, 'There are those who say “if it weren’t for the arranged marriage system, many people would simply never get married!” – to which Neo says: “Yes, and that’s a good thing!”' I think it is a good thing if those who feel they need someone else to take the responsibility of their marriage working or not working, do not get married.

So it's not all that bad. Yesterday I ate some "Paav Bhaaji". You just need to eat it quickly before the crows make a "dive-bombing" run for it.

Just picturing you regulated to the patio in the rain for being naughty is pithy-ness enough. LOL PS: Still say you should tell more about how you both met. If you make it all sweet and romantic and how you were just gonna DIE without Mrs. Neo, I bet she would let you in the house again. :) Hehehehe

Too bad men were not subjected to similar events.

I'm intrigued by your comment.. back in the day, when I was a young'n, at my first job, girls at work would narrate some pretty out there stories of proposals/first meeting.. including one where the guy asked (in a private conversation of course, after the old folks moved to another room, ain't it a relief - they did allow them a few minutes of privacy) if she was a virgin and/or has had boy friends. But such visits mostly ran along the lines of singing or reciting classical stuff.. though.. asking to read a news paper aloud sorta trumps singing anytime... that is pretty strange dude.. maybe he missed the morning newscast. No shows were sadly pretty frequent too.. a consequence of over scheduling and callousness while on a whirlwind bride hunting trip back to the old country. Don't get me wrong.. back then too, there were a few that met up at work and eventually tied the knot.. but the majority of girls still opted to let ma and dad set em up. I believe conditions have (hearsay) changed a lot... if not completely inverted... a close acquaintance has been trying to find a "suitable girl" for a couple of years, but apparently the US has since lost it's appeal. Girls (at least some) call the shots these days.. it seems they want to get to know you first.. how very absurd! ;-) @Ritesh..
