“Are Marriages made in Heaven ?”
Manisha Gupta
Not any more!! Can’t blame everything on God! Marriages were once upon a time, till a couple of years ago, “made in Heaven” and were heavenly pure, pretty perfect & peaceful. Now they’re 110% ‘Made on Earth’ and the whole globe bears the brunt. Because for “Global peace”, I firmly believe there should first be peace in the most intimate & closest relationships, marriage being one such.
Love, commitment, fidelity, sacrifice, “everlasting”, “till-death-do-us-part”, “saaton janam” or “janam janamantar ka saath” etc., no more hold. In an era of husband murdering more than wife’s feelings & emotions or parents & brothers for money/property, or the wife herself for another woman, and the equally modern wife having no hassels in killing the husband for a lover, meaning of the institution called marriage has undergone a tremendous change.
So can’t misuse the ‘Made in Heaven’ brand because marriages nomore satisfy very trademark qualities associated with this tag!
in this age of GIs, trademarks and patents, there is need to decide on a fair sharing for the royalty for the "made in heaven " brand. And once the validation parameters have been fixed, I am sure some marriages would once again be made in heaven.
ReplyDeleteAn eye opener!
marriges are now just words to say.the promise saat janmno ka saath is very rarely found.now there are no 'MADE IN HEAVEN' brand marriges.
