Reading between lines of Amrita, yesterday she
talked about her nervousness, I too find very daunting to imagine a case where
one is married 💑 physically far off one's family. I recall
village marriages when brides used to cry bitterly while being seen off. The
saying "doli" n "arthi" to be taken off from parents n
in-laws homes respectively were under cultural norms. Girls used to be reinforced with this
idea since early childhood so that there would be smooth
transition.....
sometimes, when I think very silently about all these, I feel very empathetic about my sisters/cousins/friends...Is it natural order or cultural construct of convenience where women are born to be at receiving ends....Now, thanks to technology for breaking the physical barriers n giving some solace to emotional needs....
Very soon we all ll be married n there would be changed responsibility. We ll have more positive freedom n decreased negative freedom. I remember when we are quite young , we fantasize to be married; but as we grow, we feel scared to loose freedom. Recently married one of the very close friend of mine was literally crying 😢 on phone making me too cry as well. I consoled him, talked him very philosophically showing bigger picture of life n expected responsibility for family,society n nation, but I ,myself, was not very much convinced. Reality is, I too feel intimidated to go for so.
The UPSC preparation has theoretically made us understand all worldly reality but practicality is yet to be explored. We know that time n "horse ride" wait for none. It is 'go of life' n we must ride very enthusiastically... Here , scope of repeated attempts like in UPSC is not available, even casual attempt can't be taken to understand the nature of married life....life partnership is made in heaven, we have to play our parts.....
For dear Amrita, today is "Second March" in true sense, she is to start afresh a new life filled with aspirations, ambitions, dreams, off course, many old prime dreams in pipeline to be fulfilled. I am confident she ll achieve all successes. We learnt a lot from you in last 1 n half years , u inspired us to work hard n be honest in effort, ur disciplined way of life inspired me to emulate u n I hope u ll keep on doing so...
I see a true woman empowerment in you...i wish every indian woman be fortunate n capable to make her choice n follow her dream even after marriage......wishing all the best from core of my heart to both of u...n congratulation for a new step in forthcoming life.....i take ur "nuptial knot" a sacred step to bring North - South indian culture closer........😄😃
