It has been perceived that arranged marriage is always a difficult affair compared to love marriage. For arranged marriage everything has to get meticulously arranged even bride and bridegroom, whereas in love marriage, with love everything gets automatically arranged.
In the current cultural, economical, social, religious, and political background, arranged marriage has been a very hot affair. Now the trend is love cum arranged marriage. In arranged marriage, the potential bridegroom has to do his home works, which include sending 'request' and 'like' on matrimonial sites based on the received and accepted requests and has to go to the girl's home for official girl-meeting. Mine had been a marathon girl-meeting spanning over two years, touching the number 23.
By the grace of God, i had been receiving fairly good amount of 'request' as well as getting the sent 'request' accepted, which paved way for a good number of official girl-meeting over a cup of coffee/tea with delicious snacks. It was a smooth ride with a win-win situation (half rejected, half accepted), but i continued my homework, as the choice was for a life time. So i was almost about to touch the milestone of quarter century in the number of official girl-meetings.
But after the 21st one, unfortunately i burnt my hand while removing hot rice water from the cooked rice in the kitchen and lost precious 4 weeks of girl-seeing. This happened before i officially met the girl, who later became my wife, so even the very first meeting scheduled with her family had to be rescheduled because of my burnt hand. When the reason was informed to her family, her parents thought it to be a lame excuse to buy time for another alliance to be fixed for me.
Burning my hand turned out to be a blessing in disguise, because though I fell short of reaching the milestone of 25, i am happily married to a girl with the same chemistry.
