Recently, I went for an exhibition, in each stall you go
they used to tell about their company and info about their products.. And how
they can be useful for them.. It’s a marketing skill.. Those stall holders used
to give their catalogs to the interested people and even to the consultants..
so that they could suggest the products to different customers.
Now a similar scenario, If you have ever been to this
arrange marriage so-called get-together you will get to see so many parents
with their daughter and son.. They go on the platform introduce themselves
their family.. And give basic info of their daughter or son.. Then interest
people can contact.. What’s the difference between the two? In the first one
they were selling a non-living thing and in the second a LIVING
thing!!!
Arrange marriage is a market.. Where parents bring their “Grown-up”
Child to find “Perfect” partner. Where they indirectly SELL them! Like to sell
any product we highlight good qualities same way here in arrange marriages they
highlight their “Products” qualities!! If they have a Groom they highlight his
salary, assets, Social life, etc & If it’s a Bride then her cooking skills,
Job (which they expect her to leave when they want).. Any boy or a girl don’t work
or enhance their skills to get a “perfect” Bride or a Groom.. They do it for
themselves.. To make themselves feel good..
I firmly don’t believe in Arrange marriages.. in simple
words it’s a gamble.. if you are lucky enough then it might work but if you are
not then your life gets spoil.. not only personal life but your career too!!!
Why there is a need to sell yourself? We have to spend whole life with that
person then more than anything else that person should be compatible to you more
than “FAMILY NAME” & “Assets”..rather the assets should be how the other
person treats you and how happy you are with that person..
I seriously don't know how those girls would have handled themselves
when they were asked to stand up to check their height or to walk to see if she
has no problem in walking.. such ridiculous procedure.. And we think now we are
moving forward this has ended.. but no its still on! I hope it will stop soon!
