About a girl

Arranged marriage, a concept quite pronounced especially in India, grows everybody nervous.
Imagine this, you took years to choose what kind of a career you want, and you ended up in a wrong one. Choosing a right Life Partner, based on some 30 minutes conversation, is a tough task.

After conversation with lot of fellow friends and colleagues. I always thought, those 30 minutes, will be full of information about the girl. One must take cues from body language. One must look at her interests and hobbies, to find whether she will be compatible. One must think about the kind of questions to be asked, so that maximum about her personality, attitude, likings and disliking can be found. About her basic nature, kindness, ego, ambitions and dreams. All of it totally freaking. No one wants to get this one thing wrong, because it matters more than your career or money. This is more important than any other decision you would have taken in your lifetime.

A complex problem, with complex inputs. I always believed in simplicity being the ultimate sophistication. I asked my subconscious about a better approach to arranged marriage. Here is what came out.

"Losing the sense of time, is the most amazing thing about Love, Dope, Alcohol and Meditation.
If one analyzes the conversation so much, than a good conversation cannot take place at all. The best way is to not analyze the conversation. Do not think about what to ask. Do not predict anything from the answer. Let things flow, ask about the next random thing which pops in your mind. Remembering the conversation is also not important. At the end of the conversation, look at the time. If 2 hours have passed and it feels like 30 minutes, she is the right girl. "
