When
it comes to marriage in general and a wife in particular, my knowledge is based
on observation alone with no personal experience so far, I am like the kid in
the toy store who wants every toy he gets his hands on (Not in a Charlie Harper
kind of a way).
Let
me establish one thing here that the above statement is not with regard to some
number but I am specifically talking with reference to qualities. Thus whatever
I have observed and deemed it to be a good quality, I added that trait to the
resume that my future wife to be has to fit in. The qualities my better half
should have, have piled on over the years. So, if I ever have to publish a
matrimonial advertisement, it will read like this:
A
30 year old not so white, curvy around the edges boy (still calling himself
that) wants the hand of a girl in marriage along with her rest of the body and
a bangla in People’s colony (a quality that made its way to the list when I was
at the Punjab College). The girl should be a super chef, who is a PhD in
Physics, has won an Oscar and a Nobel Prize and has at least won a silver medal
at the Olympics, says her prayers five times a day, observes purdah and can
keep my mother happy. Can sing and write poetry. Should have authored at least
3 books and is an administrator of two face book pages and five whatsapp
groups. Working women can also “apply” but only if they are a CEO at a Fortune
500 company. The age of the girl should not be more than 20 years. Beauty
pageant winners will be given priority.
But
then I read somewhere that a woman is the reflection of his man. It changed the
equation for me. Even if I get a girl with all the above mentioned qualities
she will still be my wife and if I am a bad guy she will be the wife of a bad
guy nothing more nothing less. So, since then I am trying to be worthy of my
future wife. I am working hard on my short comings (which I will not mention
here as they might harm my any possible chances). So, as Gandhi Saa’hib once
said that be the change you want to see in the world, in pure matrimonial
terms, I say that be the spouse you want to marry.
