Indelible Musings

This blog post had been running in my mind since long; especially, after I watched the movie, ‘2 States.’ Though, I thought that I should write a review, but then, it would have been the same as any other review. Hence, I decided to delve into another angle, which I pondered upon while watching the movie. The movie, which is an adaptation of a novel, ‘2 States- The story of my marriage,’ by Chetan Bhagat, does not need any introduction or conclusion.

Disclaimer: This post was written for a website, however, since I did not get any revert with respect to the post; I decided to upload it on my blog. These are my personal views.

Often this love culminates into a beautiful relationship giving birth to marriage. But as time elapses, this beautiful relationship turns into something that we are alien to. Why does it happen? Don’t you feel like celebrating the 25th 50th or 75th many such jubilees with your better half? Of course, you do. Let us observe what makes a marriage successful. For any marriage, be it love or arranged, the first and most important thing is to build trust. Once you are married to someone, that person not only becomes...

Wither away, you sadist My heart spurns to accept you; Wither away, you nihilist Because my mind can judge what's credible; I Strive to achieve what looks distant I wouldn't be crestfallen however hard you may try; Wither away, you ludicrous thought For I ain't gullible as you may have perceived.
