of blogging and marriages

So i start yet again to blog ... for those who didn’t follow my blogs earlier (http://devendra.blogstream.com/) : "what the hell brought you to this one?"
What prompted me to reblog : nothing ... just the fact that i read an article on blogging and decided to light the flame gain .. post Nov 22 2006 this is my first blog .. life has taken loads of changes for me but am not complaining ... enjoying every bit ....

OK so i thought of writing about marriages ... and the answer to why this topic is not so tuff as most of the ppl my age (read my batch mates at graduation & post graduation ) are fighting the demons, so here’s my take :

The characters:
The ailing corporation: obviously the guy or the gal whose life suddenly develops faults like loneliness, lack of stability, character & responsibility
The COO: Mom , she is the one coordinating the machinery, trying to bring in the processes and various stakeholders together
The marketing officers: Numerous chachi's mami's cousins etc who like a dedicated field force market the new offering .. As time goes by their interest in the product diminishes and so does the effort
The CFO: your dad, who meekly or sometimes in accordance to the wishes of COO finances the whole operation
External Consultants: the numerous aunties, padosans etc who have gone thru similar exercise for their ward and now advice the COO

Amidst all these there are various forms of marriages which go like as follows:
Arranged marriage or legal obligation: like in case of legal obligations you have to follow the law and go with the person chosen
Love marriage or Strategic alliance: you find our own mate and go ahead with backing of all parties
Love marriage denied to arranged or hostile takeover: the ailing corporation is taken over by the stakeholders and all its decisions nulled and is forced to follow the new policymakers decisions

in all above cases the life is never the same again
