Love Marriage, Arranged Marriage and the Married Life

Love marriage is the one where two people love and marry without considering much about anything else. Arranged marriage is the one where two people meet in a planned way and marry by considering as many things as possible.

Love is blind and that doesn’t mean that love marriage will suffer. The couple may already get everything that the arranged marriage helps to fetch in. They can also handle things as they are not kids.

We have many tools and service agencies to help us find facts about anyone. So even in an arranged marriage, knowing the other person doesn’t take much of our time. Of course, this doesn’t mean that the arranged marriage won’t suffer. Knowing the facts about someone and understanding someone are not the same.



It is unwise to say that one is better than the other for a married life. There are so many things involve in a successful married life. The list is endless with things like personality, goals, culture, nationality, religion, language, family, friends, activities and so on. All that matters are how these things are handled after the marriage.

My point is, it is not about the love marriage or an arranged marriage, but how the couple sees the purpose of their marriage and then lead a successful married life. And my point is, it is not about the passion-life or some-life, but how you see the purpose of it and then achieve it.

The bigger picture is not about following your passion, but reaching greatness in your life. You can attach passion to something even if it is a thing that you never dreamed of. So, don’t worry about finding and chasing your passion. Nor worry about the detachment to your current stage. Your commitment to achieve excellence in whatever you do will reveal the presence of passion - love is just there in a successful married life. Excelling at whatever you do opens the door of opportunities of the higher level. The more opportunities you unlock, the more meaningful your life will be.

The Kite Runner

Usually, I buy and read book suggested by my friends but no one suggested me to read the book "The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini". I neither heard about it before I accidentally bought it. I was looking for the books I planned to buy in the Chennai Bookfair 2011 and I found this book . There was something attractive, though it was not as beautiful as of many of the books cover design, it should be the cover of it, because all I could see was only the book cover. I took it in my hand and asked myself, should I buy this?, yes was the answer and I bought it. I completed reading this book last week, after keeping it the shelf for almost 2 years. I am glad I got this book. It is one of best books I read in the recent years. The phrase " For you, a thousand times over " lingering in the mind is the proof that I really enjoyed reading this book and moved so much ;) " I became what I am today at the age of twelve, on a frigid overcast day in the winter of 1975 &

New Year Resolution 2015

Another new year, another ( same! ) set of new year resolutions. I wanted to read Thirukural and set target 50 last year but couldn't achieve it. But then I used one Kural in my every blog post . New Year Resolution List: For year 2016, I should shorten it to at least 1/3 of this list. At least, make it more readable ;) Reading Books: Book reading is going to be reduced this year. I am planning to reread few of the books I read last year. Of course, will find time to read books suggested by friends. I have got Bhagavad Gita tamil version from my friend and might read this before the end of 2015. I Am Malala, The Last Temptation of Jesus Christ, Mossad, 'The Madman, The Forerunner, Spirits Rebellious', Yudhargal Varalaarum Vaazkaiyum, If You Meet The Buddha On The Road Kill Him are few of the books I enjoyed reading. By the way, I have changed the FB album title from "Books I read" to "Books I read - Not To Be Shared" ;) Accounting: How difficu
