A colleague sent me a link to this video story(less than 5 minutes long) about arranged marriages. Like every other woman from India we have had this conversation or gone through the experience in some form or other.

So needless to say this resonated somewhere inside. It was ironical how almost all the married women interviewed in the story applauded the virtues of arranged marriage system and how all the single women shirked away from the concept.

Who is to say what works and what doesn’t? I have seen all types of marriages breaking up, irrespective of how it happened in the first place. Maybe as an institution it needs revisiting.

Kudos to Deepti Paul for taking her camera with her and presenting a slice of it. The video resonates because I am single and happy in America, although my parents felt that they failed in their duty by not finding a suitable man for me to “settle down with.”

Watch the video, you will get the drift.
