28th Winter of my bachelor life ...

As I sit alone on the 9941th afternoon of my well preserved sacred and pure bachleorhood the same old question has popped up yet again Why everyone should get married? (at least once)
I think the commencing of the wedding season and people getting engaged/married left right and center has also worked as a trigger for this blog.
No less but 8 of my close male friends are getting married this winter. I was talking to one of them who is marrying his steady girl friend. He was cribbing to me that he is going to loose his freedom after marriage. I asked him then why are you getting married if it comes at the cost of freedom. He gave the obvious answer, "Reshu losing a little bit of freedom is also worth it and Reshu you will realize it only when you get married". Being the natural jerk i am, I just tried to get rational with him. I asked him that lets quantify the pros and cons of marriage. Microsoft Excel was pulled out and detailed analysis was done. With repeated iterations the finalized excel that came out is being published here. Not sure how interesting it is but its a fun read










ProsCons
1. U will never be alone1. U will never be alone :(
2. U have one person whom you will love for the rest of your life2. U have ONLY one person whom you will have to love for the rest of your life:((
3. All the money you earn will be put to some use3. All the money you earn will be put to some (one else's) use :(
4. You can watch the DDLJs and KKHHs of the world hand in hand with your beloved4. No more Martin Scorsese, Tarantino, Clint EastWood and tons of other R rated stuff you guys know what i mean ;)
5. You will never need to hit on anyone or flirt with anyone5. The moment you even in your sub-sub conscious mind think of hitting on anyone you will be duly and truely hit with anything ranging from a pillow to the living room lamp
6. You will get to socialize a lot as a couple6. Jes that socializing will no longer mean night out with friends with a jeep loaded with crates of beer and howling and catcalling any chicks that dare to come withing 500m of the jeep
7. You will have fone contacts like Beloved Home No, Beloved Office No,Beloved Home before Marriage No,Beloved Mobile No7. You will no longer have fone contacts like Ina, Mina, Tina, Reena, Sheena,Hasina, Ka..na
8. You get to visit places where no man has gone before Manicure stations, Nailpolish sales,Bebe's showrooms and De'beers Diamonds8. No more visits to Sony Showrooms, Apple Outlets and SEGA Gaming centers and yes no more visits to the DVD Store round the street corner


I asked my friend to wait till i can think of a 10th one but he was in no mood to listen anymore. He was already having second thoughts about his marriage. I hope he still goes with it Coz i still maintain that everyone should married (at least once). If not for anything then jes to know the difference
