Marriages are beautiful. None
can deny that. The rituals, laughing faces, decorations, days and days of
preparations, teasing cousins everything just everything about it feels so
heavenly. I turned 25 this June and I can’t deny that though as a teenager I was
against the concept of marriages, growing up has been beautiful and this
concept is slowly fading away.
Love, of course is the reason
for this change. These days my facebook newsfeed (I surf facebook through my
besties account) is filled up with the updates of my classmates and friends
marriages. Couples posing merrily with mehndi cladded hands and beautiful
smiles adorned with love. Some other posting pictures of their honeymoons and a
few posting pictures of their first born. It’s all about love these days in
facebook and do I like it? Hell, yes.
Well, I was wondering so
about what is the right age to get married. Is 25 the universal marriage age
for most girls? Most of my friends and batch mates are getting married this
year and they share my age. So, is 25 the most ideal I ask myself.
When I asked myself the
question, I found that I needed a few more years to accept marriage hood. That because,
I want a certain level of peace and stabilization with my inner self. I don’t want
that the person I am marrying should be burdened with my inner stress. Primarily
this is my reason for not getting married now. There, according to me is no
right time or age for getting married.
One of my school teachers who
currently works in Bangalore in an MNC turned 36 this year. She is a single
working woman. On asking why she hasn’t got married yet she promptly replies, “I
have crossed my age for marriage. Not I am settled in my life and I am looking
forward to it. My mother remains worried on my decision to remain single. My brothers
too are not marrying as I being the eldest didn’t marry. I have already told
them to go ahead and get married. I am happy in my current space”. This teacher of mine is one of the most
charming ladies I have ever met. She is adventurous by nature and the life of
the party. She doesn’t look a day old. One of friends who has a close
acquaintance with her one happened to ask her if she doesn’t feel the need to
share her life with someone to which she says, “ I do feel the need. But my wants differ. If I
find someone suitable even at this age, I won’t think twice before marrying”.
The recent update on the
marriage of Bollywood actress Suhasini Mulay who married at the age of 60 is
another shining example to the concept of marriage. She met her soul mate on
Facebook. By tying the knot at an elder age she defied the opinion of all those
who think age is a deterrent for marriage, especially for women.
Here is a picture of the evergreen actress.
