What's your price today on the Stock Exchange...Mr Groom ?

What's your Price on the National Stock Exchange today ....Mr Groom ?
 
                                                                                 Pharma, Software Manufacturing, Textile Production,  Banking Sector, Automobiles.. the list is endless as to what can be listed in the National Stock Exchange. Anything which sells at whopper costs is a strong contender to be listed in the NSE.
 ok ..ok..., leaving apart the finance world ( which is anyway Greek and Latin to me .... ), what is baffling, is how come all those Indian Grooms who are still demanding hundreds of sovereigns of gold, hard cash , land , fat weddings to share their life with a girl are not listed yet. When they are ready to  sell themselves for such stupendous costs , shouldn't  they be bought into the stock exchange...............................????
   Within my peer group, with our kids well into school, I guess I have been out of touch with wedding huddles for some time.With dowry discussions  considered witless, even during my wedding days a decade ago  , I just assumed that the current levels of  education and exposure , would have helped evolve our dear groom to  understand, that  a healthy and contented married life stands rock solid on mutual respect, mutual understanding and mutual love....and not on the cost of the wedding .
  I vouch that I have seen , many marriages blooming  along these healthy lines and so many young men throwing themselves into nurturing successful relationship with their soul mates.. .......so many times am witnessing dowry being considered criminal ....( hats off to you all ! ) and now to come across well educated, well positioned, globe trotting  young men demanding dowry to share their life ( as if they are being forced to get married !!! ) threw me of gear  .....

--which is why I was  startled
--which is why  I have started contemplating if education has not served its purpose of instilling values.....
--which is why  I think that we are still hiding behind the culture umbrella as a reason for our personal gain  and very far from realizing its true potential of daily yoga , vedic science..( any why talk of this now...? )

Dear Mr Groom , which is why I am wondering  if sometime, somewhere , since  you were child ,your self respect and self confidence has taken a beating. May be it is a painful and accepted reality in our society that , dowry is outright demanded, the wedding happens and the girls lives with you driven by umpteen reasons- her parents , bondage to culture, children,social security......................................etc ,
but  don't you think it will be seventh heaven if  your spouse shares her life with you because she truly loves and respects you .

If you sell your self , where will self respect and love come from ?

Anywayzzzz, Mr Groom, its your life , its your choice - you keep selling your self, you feel proud about it , you live in an illusion that you have showed your dominance....but no self respecting parents will buy you for their daughter ....happy selling !!!!

Years roll by and I guess all of us at one stage think, I should have done this. When we are in our twenties, that seems ok because we feel...
