There's so many things I want to blog about. And that's crazy given how tired I am, that I can't even be stuffed to move. I could blog about all 3 things...but that will just make them all lose their significance. So here is the most important.
I come from a cultured traditional family, which means, I get arranged married. I, till this date had certain expectations of that mysterious person that my parents will find me. Having, been the studious type, and having been brought up in a family of which I am the first generation to go to university, Studies are damn important.
Coming back to the point, I would've expected Mr. Suitor to be equally or higher educated than me. Expecially, with my generalisations that educated people have more practical and modern takes on things. But! I feel like I got a slap in the face today. Why? Because, there was a girl, all set to go for my cousin. Arranged. Everyone likes my cousin. BUT! The girl has studied MBA or something. A lot!...Noone has yet to pass the Bachelor's stage in my extended family. So I naturally was very excited. Did I see the other side to it?...No!...the girl didn't want to marry my cousin, cos he hadn't studied enough! Now that is dodgy, because I know my cousin. I know how great, and smart he is, he doesn't need studies, to make him more incredible. That girl was just stupid were the thoughts going in my head. And then yes, so were my stupid thoughts? Sometimes is it just worth it, to listen to the wise ones in your family, who actually have life experience, instead of forming your own stupid expectations. Go into a marriage with no expectations. The best marriage eva!
