Inevitable
Why does talking about arranged marriage inevtiably bring fate, destiny, and such philosophical thoughts when talking to a local here?
And why does our counter-arguments to theirs always (unwarrantedly) pulls in the divorce-rate fact existing here?
And lastly, why does the same topic when spoken with Indian friends come out so matter-of-factly without BS-101?
I am just saying.

Hi, I was browsing and came across your blog.
You are absolutely right about us defending arranged marriages, by talking about percantage of divorces in US.
But one thing is I never blame destiny for my arranged marriage, I simply say that is life and we are fine with it.
We dont have to BS with our Indian friends coz we all sail in the same boat (atleast most of us)
Great Writing!

Shankari: Welcome to my blog!
You are right - interesting how living away here makes us offensive and defensive at the same time.
BTW, I wrote this post at the spur of a moment, but looks like it makes a bit of sense to read it now too!
