early arrangements.(a post by a friend)

ah?
an indian mother. an indian daughter. what can be better than to see them together.
if you happen to see one, eavesdrop on their conversation 'cause even i would.
it's wonderful, funny, depressing and full of, what to say, confusion?

what some people call gyan, or knowledge, to me is a bunch of early arrangements.
that guy, this and that.

yet it continues. it's the everyday conversation. education. marriage. children. death?

hm. i do not consider india as one whole country. it an overpopulated piece of land, where each and every state has it's culture. what does that have to do with anything? what does that mean?
that means you being of one state may not marry of the other. that is like marrying another ethnic group. they might be brown but, only the brown see the difference.

can the maharashtrian marry the keralite? the bombay boy with the malayalee?
no no no! no such nonsense is allowed!

che che che!

conversation maybe? if you happened to have not overhear one
mother: what can i do for you to forget him? stop talking to him?
daughter: [[silence]]
mother: you cant keep on talking to him. if he was malayalee...
daughter: if he was malayalee it would've made a difference?
mother: well, an educated one.
daughter: he's indian. indians are so complex. let it be. leave me be.
mother: i cant. you know if you go with him, you will never see me again.
daughter: [[silence]]
mother: what about that boy? remember? your friend? he's educated and all. he's very nice.

in this case the him/he or whatever is NOT malayalee and that's the big deal. he's indian but not malayalee. he might be a retard but, he's not a stuck up malayalee. the boy at the end happens to be someone who came to her mind and would be okay with her if the daughter did anything with the boy. good.

what is it? india is going to be one of the biggest countries in 10 years? okay.
