The Bride...

Indian Marriages! Two sides of the coin again? May be or may not! One a side, there is a girl who follows the Indian tradition of getting married and following the customs and traditions of the house or the family. On the other, there is one totally independent and free! It depends... Both of them might be well educated. But totally depends on their own choice! She might want to get settled simply, rather than expecting a huge pay or she might have the strength to handle the house as well as office. Sometimes she faces the mixed feelings. She loves her husband and family and respects her in laws looking after the house and abiding by its rules and regulations. Though sometimes she looks outside the window for her dreams.
        She gets up early in the morning and streamlines the day. Looks after all. Gets the kid ready for the school. Makes lunch for all. She makes sure that the house is flawless! Everyone is proud of her and her duties. But deep down in her heart she is waiting for the uplift of her career. She is confident that she will be able to manage everything but the rituals and customs of the family restrict her from doing so! The two sides of the coin keep seismic! She might be speaking everything about this to her husband; her best friend, but might be for the parents both of them don’t come up with their happy go feelings. Can it be called as a sacrifice then? Yes! May be! Because they are standing on a plane where they are balancing their families and their happiness! Ultimately discharging duties towards the family and parents/in laws is also of utmost importance!
        On the other hand the other free bird seems happy! But wait! Is it really? May be! There she is performing on a topmost scale in the industry but somewhere not able to spare time for family! Not even for kid! She is having a good number in the salary but somewhere an unstable mind! Her decision of serving/doing job might be a sacrifice either! None but she knows her situation! May be her husband knows! Sometimes it proves wrong to blame her on this decision! The grass is always greener on the other side! They might be staying away from their families, it might be decision of their own will, but somewhere again they might be disturbed for them, about their nurturing, their health etc. Living a life in a different place/city but mind focuses to the place where their parents / in laws live. They are lonely, away...but lonely! Always waiting for the vacation!
        This is the true and practical world. The Bride! Loads of responsibilities and expectations! A sensitive life and body she holds, but strong and strengthened from within. I think her feelings should be supported; she should be given utmost importance and care. Her decisions must be taken care of wisely. At least ask her, listen to her heart! Give her a hand of support and care. Respect her and her opinions. She might mould the world in a different way!
