Indian PARENTS...!!!

To begin with; Firstly I would like to apologize if i hurt anybody's sentiments by writing this. Although I am not writing this post intending to hurt anybody's feelings or emotions and possibly this does not address to all the parents of India but yes this does address to MY Parents and to the Parents who think on the similar lines or even worse than what my parents ideologies state for me and my brother or any other kid they would have had.

It just so started happening that as soon as I came back from Dubai, my best friends parents got to know about the 'affair'( we use a better term relationship to describe it!) she was in with a guy!
And Damn, after knowing this they literally made her life worse than hell for like at least two weeks following the breaking news...!!!

For me it was never a surprise of parents (specially Indian) reacting a bit weird when they get to know about the relationship of their so called still 'kids' 21-22 yrs old children!! But then I just have one question to all those parents reacting in somewhat really objectionable manner according to us.... " HAVE U NEVER EVER DONE WHAT COMES NATURALLY TO EVERY HUMAN BEING????"

I have always failed to understand the fact that why do parents stop their kids from falling into love?? or deciding on the person with whom they want to spend their life with? or for that matter when will they ever understand that 'life can be understood backwards, but it has to be lived forwardly'!
They want their children to lead their lives according to their will and wish, sacrificing their own happiness for them and lastly if you dont do so then you arent a good son or daughter!!!

For them love marriages and that too God forbid if is out of caste, creed or religion is the worst fear! They would disown you from their property, home etc and to the worst limit of disowning you from their names too.. Just because you didn care about what will people think, what will society think, because you havent fulfilled your responsibilities as sons and daughters, because you have done something which no one ever had done in the entire family tree and blah blah blah factor!!!

Just a curosity: Why dont they ever think that we are happy with our own decisions and are big enough to answer ourselves and anybody else for that matter.
Why dont they ever wonder that when they worship Gods and Deities who have been famous in the Indian Mythology for marrying person of their own choice in a ceremony called 'Swayamvar' why are we stopped to follow them, whom are parents worship..!!!
Why do they fear that the relation we choose for ourselves wont work? Why do they feel that arrange marriages are more successful than love marriages?? and if it is so then why do divorces at all happen?

Its time enough though for them to accept us along with the choices we make , for it is the choice and we who will have to stay lifelong together...!!!!
