Groom

Everybody will have a dream spouse right from childhood. Be it the cartoons or movies, all people are exposed to the understanding of the relationship of couples. As I grew up being the only child, my dream about my guy was influenced by movies and classmates. The first time I got a crush on a boy was when I was in class six. Gradually my image of a dream boy started evolving with respect to age and exposure. I studied in a girls school and did not have much chance to move with my peer boys. UG was the first time that we came under one roof and the taste of a co-education in a third rated college was horrible. I did not fall in love with any of them for two reasons, one, I thought that I did not attain the right age for a relationship and two, I did not find the right guy.

So passed my days. I was in the final year of my Post Graduation and finally attained the age that I had conceived to be the right start for a commitment. But this, did not go as planned. I did not find my prince just the time I had planned to get one, one of the main reasons being that I completely trusted on my mother’s judgment. Whenever I spotted a guy, my index finger navigated from him to my mother, asking her permission for becoming his girlfriend. Parents you know, can never let you into such things so easily. Still, I let her take the final call.

This led in a no love marriage option and the only alternative left was arranged marriage. I was worried. Worried about marrying a stranger. Giving way to these apprehensions, was the way the groom hunt started. While one moron’s mother kept staring at me for not wearing a saree during their formal visit to my house to hunt a bride for her son, another guy was literally into all bad habits and wanted me to be his accomplice. Totally frustrated, I ended up threatening my mother into filtered searches at the earliest.

To this day, my ideas about a groom has changed. I do not look for impressive looks or six digit earnings but someone who will be just compatible with my personality and eligible enough to build his own dreams. A gentleman will treat his better half better and that man seems within the boundaries of my vision. I’ve had different special people in my life and this time, THE special person’s entry will be special, fully under my control and I promise myself to treat my better half better.
