Men versus Boys
Love marriages around the world:
Boy loves girl. Girl loves boy.
They get married.
In India, there are a few more steps:
Boy loves Girl. Girl loves Boy.
Girl's family has to love boy. Boy's family has to love girl.
Girl's Family has to love Boy's Family. Boy's family has to love girl's family.
Girl and Boy still love each other. They get married.
Above is the summary of Chetan Bhagat's novel "2 States". Can someone out there drill some sense into Indian girls and Indian guys not to call this "Love marriage" ?. When they fall in love, shouldn't they be extremely aware of the expectations of their family or atleast carry on the conviction to get married by breaking hurdles until marriage takes place. Just super irritated when I see/hear people fall in love but never have the balls to make it work. Seriously think this is what differentiate real men from boys. Should I say I've rarely come across men as much as I've come across boys ?:) - Change of mind: This is not at all true. This is actually a denial :)

It's possible that the issue stems even earlier than gathering the guts to make it work. To put it straight, if they "fall in love but never have the balls to make it work", is it really "love"? :)
btw, thanks for mentioning the book!! I hadnt heard of it before... I googled it and found a pdf version of the book. Reading it now. Fun and interesting read :).
