Galti Ka Naam Shaadi-By-Keshav Anand

The very fact that such a high record number of jokesfloat around the topic of marriage of which the most

popular one is Either you can be happy or you can be

married is a testimony of what people really deep down

think of that noble institution called marriage..

Another favourite line for me is, I agree that marriage is

a noble institution... but who the hell wants to live in an

institution (read mental)? And another ha-ha-ha one is,Marriage makes a coin out of a couple. Both sides dont

want to face each other anymore

Seriousness, I think that marriage is a joke except

maybe for those who by their premoidal instincts have

this compulsive urge to have eeeeeewwwww kids. All

the couples I have come across either regret the fact

that they married, wish to get out of it or do get out of it.

Of the remaining couples who do stay together, they

resign themselves to the fact that such is life. They just

wipe their tears and concentrate on their careers or on

their children and so go about leading a dead life. The

tragedy is that before marriage, men and women merely

draw fantasy pictures about each other in their minds.

Marriage draws out the real picture to the extent, that to

be fair, I think marriage is also a truth-telling machinery.

Even in spite of dating for many many years, couples

come to know about many truths about themselves,

which is often a lifetime too late. A friend of mine who

recently got married said that the thing which hit him the

most now is that he wakes up in the morning with

someone lying next to him. He misses that state of

freedom when he didnt have to share his bed. Then

over coffee he has to listen to her chatter on about herfriends and her family although he would prefer to read

the newspapers or watch TV.

From such irritants to being advised on how to run his

life, my friend says that the list is endless.

A woman I know told me that she didnt know, that her

man snores like thunder till their marriage. She also

cant stand the sight of his buddy who hangs aroundhim all the time. These things seem trivial but its

precisely these things which are the real passion killers.

And the death of passion amounts to the death of a

relationship between a man and a woman. In fact, that is

the huge flaw in the institution called marriage

because passion is the primary reason for any couple to

come together in the first place.

I dont know if marriages are made in heaven but for

sure I know that most of them lead to hell. Very soon, Iam going to write a script titled Galti Ka Naam Shaadi.

It will be a story about a couple whose love transports

them to that heavenly institution called Marriage Hell!

Its the story after the love story!
