Marriage: shouldn't be a celebration for Bride and Groom?

Yes, and it is time to change our mindset to celebrate.. 

The funniest thing I have noticed in marriages is that the focus is on everybody else except the Bride and Groom. We should be focusing more on them rather than other people. It doesn't matter much if others are pampered/ate/drank/slept comfortably or not. The most Garib Bichchare are the two persons who are getting married, especially Bride. Nobody gives a damn whether they ate/slept/tired/enjoying or not; forget about their wishes or the way they want their marriage to happen. 

What's the point to have this big a event, their first and probably the biggest, if it is not enjoyed by them. The goal of the marriage event and celebrations should be to give a very good start to their long inning of life with lots of happiness and cheerful faces. 

It is a big event if we consider that almost 1000 people joining the event over 3 days. Every volunteer is important and necessary to make arrangements. We see at least 100 people volunteering and 20 people managing the event of this volume in our companies. There is a lot to learn from corporate to make marriage enjoyable. It is apt to have half of the volunteers and mangers from Bride's relatives and half from Groom's relatives. The very reason for that is half of the lot is unknown to the other half. We should accept the importance of the new couple and they should be given more responsibility and last word to arrange the event. I am sure, we have seen very good management skills and enjoyable experience whenever that happens. 

The good thing is that people have already started to accept these facts and working as per need. We need to encourage and increase this breed.

Why or What?

I hear people saying, "s/he doesn't know what s/he is doing. We should think of why as well.
There are two kinds of people. 1. The What people and 2. The Why people
The "What" people are generally those instinctive brilliant people who can do anything and most of the times they want to do everything.
The "Why" people are like me who can not work on everything and anything. I should know why I am doing this so that I can plan ahead and work on those things to achieve "what" I have decided.
The "What" people can work parallel, or start working on something - achieve that and change to something else, get back to original stuff if nothing worked out. These people have engineer degree, then MBA and after 2-3 years of managerial job they work on the movies as well (and succeed in all of it)!
The "Why" people accumulate experience in the field of the degree they have, stick to job, target only one goal (in life / not at a time), Work towards it step by step.
Third kind is who don't think about "What" and "Why" and simply conquer all the problems lie in front of them.
 

Missed communication

I dare to sound old with this.
I do not understand why younger generation do not / can not communicate well. Most of our parents always ask us "why can't you just call for a minute and tell us that how are you doing".
And especially when this generation is doing very good on this front in office. Boys and girls in their twenties are taking on the managerial posts and doing very fine job where communication is a key word. It is amazingly sad that the children give priority to work instead of the people who love them the most. They might say that they don't want to disturb or make parents worry about them. But this is also not understandable as I said earlier that these managers know the importance of communication.
In the end, my Mama was very correct when he said that we have mobile phones but we do not communicate at all.
This came as a frustration of series of missed communications from dear children of their respective parents.

शर्यत

मी शर्यतीत भाग तर घेतला होता पण आता जीवाच्या आकांताने धावण सोडून दिल आहे. कारण मला माहीत आहे की मी ही शर्यत जिंकू शकत नाही. आणि म्हणूनच मी प्रेक्षक काय करताहेत ते enjoy करू शकतोय. आजूबाजूला खूप गर्दी आहे आणि इतरही बर्याच शर्यती चालू आहेत, त्यामध्ये अनेकांनी भाग घेतला आहे वगैरे वगैरे.
एक मात्र खर आहे की मी पूढच्या फेरीसाठी पात्र ठरलो आहे आणि म्हणूनच हे सगळा लिहायला सुचत आहे.
आयुष्य enjoy करण्यासाठी (अंशत: तरी) यशस्वी होणे गरजेचे आहे का?

Delight शोधतोय

ब्लॉगच नाव नुस्त "la delight" असून चालत नाही. सध्या तर खूपच उदास वाटत आहे.
म्हणजे आयुष्यात विशेष काहीच घडत नाही आहे. नाही professional ना personal ना धड social .
हा धो-धो पाउस उत्साहात काही भर घालतो का बघायच.
आज अजिबात बोर झाला होत म्हणुन काहीतरी टाइप करत बसलो आहे.

नियम मोड़णे आपल्या स्वभावातच असते का?

हल्ली, बर्याच ठिकाणी मी असे बघतो की , इंग्लिश मधे नावे लिहिताना पहिले अक्षर मोठ्या लिपीत न लिहिता लहान लिपीतच लिहिल्या जाते. उ.दा: ramessh shetty, aparna singh किंवा माझ्या ब्लोगचे नाव!
ह्याला काय म्हणावे? a fashion statement? माझ्या मते तर इथे आपल्यातला बंडखोरच जागा होत असावा. तुम्हाला काय वाटतं ?

पो़ट

आपण कधीतरी जूनी पण आवडती trousers कपाटातून काढतो आणि घालायला जातो; लगेच इतके दिवस ही का घालत नव्हतो याची आठवण येते. बक्कल जेव्हा लागायला कुरबुर करतं तेव्हा आपण मनाशी विचार करतो की हे बक्कल लागायालाच हवं; आणि तोपर्यंत मी व्यायाम करणार...
असेच काही महीने जातात आणि सेम टु सेम प्रसंग घडतो... फक्त हातातली trousers वेगळी असते!
