How people ruin their lives by getting married!!
I am not against the institution of marriage…. Infact I’ve been married for 2 years 5 months and few days and enjoying every moment of it. I guess I am still a novice to make such a bold claim but would like to share, what I think, can cause serious trouble in relationships..
I’ve seen lot of people put on weight after marriage. Why’s that, I wonder?? I asked my wife, She says, “That’s because you are well fed”.
So the top 3 reasons that will ruin you married life:
1. Assumptions: Drawing conclusions from what’s being said. If our assumptions are positive, no issues. But if not, it’s important to think , am I mind reading -> creating my own conclusion from what’s being said or am I presupposing -> arriving at a conclusion based on facts being said. Wrong conclusions create a snowball effect overtime leading to ‘ugly emotional cocktail’. so better to clarify and clear issues as they arise, with a pinch of salt and lemon juice.
2. Lack of Communication: No matter how big a fight you had or how bad things are…, it’s important to communicate. Keeping to oneself and not expressing your emotions will steadily lead to disaster. Sharing thoughts and feelings opens the line for reconciliation and helps to strengthen the bond.
3. No Chocolates and Roses: I guess we guys are lucky, cos if everything else fails, buying chocolates and roses, can help in forgiving the worst of crimes. If you don’t intend to buy these for your beloved in the near future, be prepared to face anger of volcanic proportions, leading to utter chaos and anarchy in your life.
To conclude, do whatever you wish to, but keep buying choclates and roses, otherwise be ready to face the most dreaded consequences

Letter written by a Sardarni to her son, staying in a hostel
Dear Gurmeet,
I am in a well here and hoping you in the same well there. I’m writing this letter slowly, because I know you cannot read fast.
We don’t live where we did when you left home. Your dad read in the newspaper that most accidents happen 20 miles from home, so we moved 20 miles. I wont be able to send the address as the last Sardar who stayed here took the house numbers with them for their new house so they wouldn’t have to change their address. Hopefully by next week we will be able to take our earlier address Plate here, so that our address will remain same too.
This place is really nice. It even has a washing machine, situated right above the commode. I m not sure it works too well. Last week I put in 3 shirts, pulled the chain and haven’t seen them since. The weather here isn’t too bad. It rained only twice last week. The first time it rained for 3 days and second time for 4 days.
The coat you wanted me to send you, your Aunt said it would be a little too heavy to send in the mail with all the metal buttons, so we cut them off and put them in the pocket. Your father has another job. He has 500 men under him. He is cutting the grass at the cemetery. By the way I took bahu to our club’s poolside. The manager is badmash. He told her that two piece swimming suit is not allowed in this club. We were confused as to which piece should we remove? Your sister had a baby this morning. I haven’t found out whether it is a girl or a boy, so I don’t know whether you are an Aunt or Uncle. Your uncle, Jetinder fell in the nearby well. Some men tried to pull him out, but he fought them off bravely and drowned. We cremated him and he burned for three days.
Your best friend, Balwinder, is no more. He died trying to fulfil his fathers last wishes. His father had wished to be buried in the sea after he died. And your friend died while in the process of digging a grave for his father. There isn’t much more news this time. Nothing much has happened.
Love
Mom.
P.S : Beta, I was going to send you some money but by the time I realized,I had already sealed off this letter.
