Why the US mappilai?
Dormant for a long time. been quite busy...
Why the US? well, 1 friend of mine says, only then he will get a good wife. unfortunately thats true! whats happening around? Arranged marriage a long misunderstood fact, combined with ignorance it is.
What exactly was arranged marriage? 3 generations ago, this is what it meant... parents of the figure and maplai knew each other for 14 years before the marriage happened (99% relatives)and the 2 kids were tuned to each other, no doubt all of it worked. but now "21 yearsku what is right what is wrongnu advice pannavangalukku 21 yearla whos rightnu theriyum" what ultimate crap! till 21 you cannot decide, when you can, you dont! the present stage : 2 idiots meet, tune unto each other (this is exactly what arranged marriage aimed at earlier!!!) and tell their parents and by default they are supposed to say No, cause then they have lost their job.
Now why the US? one of my friends who is going to get married put it right: my mom wants me to live in a place with a better "quality of living" than the present. perfect agreed... but no mom looks for a maplai in Honolulu, the highest ranked city in the US (25th!). I live in Germany now, know what exactly quality of living means, given that Munich is ranked 7th overall... and 3 cities of the top 10 are in Germany, i know what exactly it means... so why still the US? IGNORANCE! http://www.finfacts.com/qualityoflife.htm
well lets stop the argument here ie., till we get any replies!
