Even as I am writing this post,My mom is conspiring against me ….well the conspiracy is to get me married.As days pass by and she gets news of my friends’ marriages,her anxiety levels rise. Today it was at its peak after a phone call from her friend.

It all started when my moms friend called her up to tell the good news of her sons marriage. well the problem is that like the story plot of chetan Bhagat’s two states ,the guy and girl are from two different parts of kerala…one from the south and another from the north of kerala…Now if you are a keralite you would know the gravity of the problem…It ranges from the venue of the marriage to the cuisine ..The grooms family wants the marriage to be at a particular church and the brides family at their own church..the grooms family wants the typical north keralian cuisine while the brides family the south keralian one..the grooms family wants to buy a particular kind of saree for the bride,the brides family tells its the bride who selects the saree….the grooms family wants the bride to reach the church by herself with her family but the brides family says the groom’s cousins have to accompany the bride to the marriage venue…..the grooms family says they give sugar to the bridegroom as a good luck gesture,the bride’s family say they give jaggery!!!!   …they have agreed to disagree on anything and everything….

The poor guy and the girl are both born and brought up in a metropolitan city of India..they dont even know how to speak proper malayalam,forget about the customs and traditions of kerala….

well!!!now my mom was describing all this and added a note of caution..that its very difficult for marriages to work if they are from north and south kerala…..  It was a message to me…that “you better not find a guy like that…we’ll find the right one for you”- the boy who suits our customs and traditions!!!!!       Is there any “AMAN KI ASHA ” possible here
