Three of my friends got married around same time five years ago. Last week, I went to their houses to extend my invitation card for my house warming function at kanchipuram. First , I went to my doctor friend house. He has a nursing home cum house in a posh locality of the city. I knocked at his house .The servant opened the door and said "you can see the doctor at the ICU wing" . I was waiting at the veranda imagining that he was on the routine rounds. After waiting for half an hour I moved towards ICU section to my surprise he was not on the rounds he was admitted to the ICU .AS I pushed open the door (a fluorescent lamp was flickering) hey ram! what happened man . nagu it's all because of marriage. actually, his marriage was against the wishes of his parents to put it simply , his marriage was a love marriage. He proceeded "Nagu, u know pretty well before marriage, Each day I used to send 100 text messages to my girl friend(his wife) with ILU message(I LOVE U) the same girl has pushed me to this stage now i am in the ICU. "By the way , nagu are you married ? he asked. No. I said. "Take a second opinion on marriage" he said and lost his consciousness(since he is in the profession of medicine he used the medical terminology "second opinion") . Before leaving the ICU an electrician barged into the room and said "loose connection sir" . I just looked at the lamp above and my friend's face both gave the same reply i.e. No hope. As I came out of the hospital, my perception towards marriage got hurt but, not dented.
My next destination to my friend house at ambattur. He is a businessman always has a liking for flamboyance. Known for owning luxurious cars , gizmos, spending lavishly spending at bars. All these qualities were before marriage. The moment I opened the door I was shocked for a second time in a day (probably, I must check a doctor to test my BP) the house wore a sombre look. There was no car, the house didn't have the white wash for years together. I approached the gardener sitting on the garden cutting grass manually, I asked for my friend once again I was shell shocked " it was not gardener it was my friend" hey raghu, I never thought that you will be in this state tell me what happened to your business " I said. NAGS, that was once upon a time probably before marriage to make you understand then I was a crorepati Now, I am devoting venkatajalapathy to reach that stage all my properties were transferred into my wife's name".further he said" Nagu, always conduct a due diligence before marriage otherwise, your position will be like that of mine".He murmured " what is the use of due diligence if something is written on your fate no power can change it". I just placed my invitation card and consoled him. As i came out of his house my perception towards marriage got little shaky ,even now, not dented.
After seeing two friends, I was little confused should I visit my third friend's house or not will his life be indifferent or something "remarkable". Somehow, I managed myself went to his house. Again shocked, this time it was positive energy flowing in my body. His wife was obeying his orders it seemed he was enjoying every moment of life. (The scene reminds me of a lion/tiger obeys the orders of a ring master in a circus) The people may question why i equated friend's wife to a lion/tiger because my friend is an animal psychologist. On entering his house " nagi, I know what must be going through your mind do you think I treat animals only at my clinic nay! then you are wrong I also treat "animal" at my home too!" he said. I know your marriage plans before getting married you better go through the thesis I have written on animal's behavior. The thesis titled" How to tame wild animals" was extended to me. I just collected it . Before departing from his house " wherever you find animal in the book you replace it with the word "wife" so that you will enjoy the reading" he said. As i came out of his house I heard a song from the film singaravelan "sonna padi kelu makkar punnadhe nee ennudaiah aalu edunjal punaadhe". After this visit my perception towards my marriage got little bolder.
