All the life I have been striving for happiness.. in this quivering world... searching for it in the unbounded world.. suddenly I am given a soul who shall be the only and ultimate source!I have chosen my friends and found my companion, every time with passage of time. Today I meet this man of unlike mind, just once, to spend rest of my life.

If marriage is happiness why is it arranged? If marriage is sex, why with this stranger? If marriage is for life why just in one meeting? If marriage is a compromise, I am ready!

I wonder what this will lead to, half of the life knowing him, rest half loving and hating! I dont know how he sleeps, whether he snores or snarls? I dont know how he drinks whether he sips or surrs? I dont know how how he eats? Whether he chews or chukles?

I will get to know after I have shared my bed with him!(May be not the body). Is he one of those I always made fun of when I was in schools, the geek, the freak or the bugger?Is he the one who always topped, the stud, the achiever?Mother finds him from a good family, he has many degrees and a handsome salary.

How does it matter now whether he sips or surrs or chuckles or chews.. guys like them are few!How does it matter if there is no love, it might grow after we stay in the same room, use the same bed and share our bathrooms!

Love will grow, I am sure, else I will force it to.I will spend my live with this man , who may be just a stranger, but I will get familiar with his strangeness soon.
