The Match Maker.....!!

Today is special not just for me but for the whole of our family.

Again, Family by itself is a subjective word - I just don't mean the first circle family but also to an extend of bigger circle...!!

Yeah, Today afternoon there is going to be a marriage fixed up in our family - the discussion on exact date & formalization is what the entire family is excitedly looking forward to....!!
My niece is getting married to a First cousin of our family.....!!

Its sort of a not so recent tamil film (Poovellaam Un Vaasam) of Ajith where its an arranged marriage decided with a quirk thought ending up (rather getting started up) to this new relationship.....!!

I have wondered & felt aghast quite a number of times on the dividing line between Vegetarianism / Non vegetarianism..... Love Marriages / Arranged Marriages...... AND Free will / Destiny.....!!

(Unconsciously I am starting only with my pet subject of EATING...you see...thats destiny !!!)

When people say proudly that theirs' is a love marriage, I wonder what they really mean by it ? Is it that they chose this man / woman from the entire choice available in the eternity...??

Its just that they developed an interest with some one who is arranged - by Divinity - to get into a marital relationship !!

OK OK, it was not the parents who took a call but them but actually there is little difference as any way things get forgotten / tramped upon by later part of details of LIFE.....!!

The marriages, the houses, the employments - and every little damn details of our petty lives are all organized by divine will in a queer logic which never gets unveiled to us in one shot.....!!

Some times every little change that happens in our lives (again it happens or we choose to make it happen - it does not make a difference really) is some thing only to get changed after some time.

While I am a part of the jubilant home, I should candidly admit that there is an inner voice which gently tells me to make out this new thing at the family as an opportunity to observe more and learn more about life and its design....!!

As I bless the would be couples to have the best of every thing, I also bow down reverentially in front of the huge all pervading LORD, the eternal match maker - who is oozing himself in every single transaction...(Paraththai maraiththathu paarmudhal bootham...).
