life.. or something like it....

One boring sunday afternoon, a person decides to go ahead and open his mind.. to the world..
Why??
Maybe because he is just bored.. or maybe.. it just that he wants a medium to spill all the vile and filth in his scarcely convoluted brain..
So.. assuming that person is me.. (*surprise surprise*).. here goes..
Ever wonder what the parents of a dying child would want??
sure.. everyone might say.. they would want a healthy kid.. and nothing else..
WRONG!!!
The world that we live in.. well.. human beings that we have around.. are highly over rated pieces of "the creator"..
now most people would think.. ok.. so.. this bored testosterone infected wonder of "the creator" saw the ndtv interview of the mother who's daughter was killed and has just lost faith in all humanity...
WRONG again!!..
Turns out.. another event had me realise.. the highly over rated aspect of "parents love".. is.. well.. over rated!
No.. it wasn't my parents not givng me ice cream when I was little, and it wasn't even the fact that they did not want me doing drugs just so I can have an experience of a lifetime..
Imagine living your entire life a slave.. You are constantly abused and locked up.. your basic freedom to speak, your basic fundamental right to freedom.. all gone.. why??
well.. because in an unfortunate random event of love?.. you turned out to be a girl.. and in a bigger unfortunate event.. you turned out to be girl.. in India.. The land of the spices, enchanted snakes and the arranged marriage..
A friend of mine just passed away.. weeks after her "marriage".. obviously.. her parents were in deep agony.. the pain.. so bad.. that it deluded them into saying that she passed away in an accident travelling with her other girlfriends..
fact though.. is that it was guyfriend.. Oh no no no.. it was not her long lost boyfriend... it was not an affair either(even though the experience gained from the wonderful saas bahu serials say otherwise).. it was something even more surreal.. it was.. a guy who was just a friend..
I know this is a strange concept for some.. afterall .. if the noted humanoligist and behavioural expert Dr. Harry from the movie, when Harry met Sally is to be believed.. guys and girls can never be friends.. I forgot if being a brother was even too silly a question to be asked..
None the less.. as it turns out.. the pain and agony of this bunch of loving caring and wonderful parents.. made them say such a thing.. after all.. what wonderful parents would want to live with the shame of having a child that sat next to another guy after marriage!!
Now.. it turns out... they have found the root of the problem and are actively addressing the same to prevent their second daughter from falling for the same grave danger! They have now resolved to prevent the corrupting microwaves of a cellphone and the millions of harmful bacteria spread through meeting other people socially, from affecting the other precious girl..
Some people might call it removing freedom.. but.. hell.. what do they know about microwaves and bacteria!

Sure... i bet people out there are gonna ask.. so.. you want that horrific wester culture induced "love marriage" to corrupt our children?? Goodness.. do you even know that the statistics indicated love marriages fail more than arranged marriages??!!
Well.. maybe true.. but.. statistics also prove that current attrition in a job is way higher than what it used to be when slaves worked for a person..
So lets get the slave system back!!!!!

Funny thing is.. On the one hand we have parents who do a lot of things because of "society" and on the other.. we have mothers giving up their lives.. just to love the one thing that gives them joy.. their kids..

Maybe thats the gift and curse of being and having parents...
