It has been more than five decades of journey which have taught me lot of lessons in the sphere of Social, Professional and Personal fields.
In childhood we were told that the success means good education and Job. It modified later to good education, Job & Money. Time changed with further modification in success parameters to good job, money and happy married life. Following the parameters We tried to improvise all these but that was not end. Those who have son but no money or good life were considered more successful than those who have daughters , money and happy life. Finally these days I am experiencing that the success parameters have changed drastically if you are father. The successful is the one and only one who has married his daughters/ Son whether they like or not. All Other parameters are lost. If you could not then you are most pitiable person who did not achieve any thing in life irrespective of success in all others areas. People will start advising you to do anything possible in this world but get kids married. It does not matter how low you bring down yourself or whether the families gel or not. In our Marwari culture lot is suspected about the budget of marriage.
These kind of changing parameters put lot of pressure which may lead to wrong decisions also causing heavy damage to the life of our own kids. But society is not going to consider this. Despite education and modernisation the mind set is still unchanged.
I wish the parameters change for the better .
