A Constitution Called Marriage

As a part of "society" there are some funny rituals we have to follow. It always amazed me how can two people who have never seen or heard of each other, decide to spend their whole life together, in course of a couple of meetings between their folks and whatever 10 mins they are allowed to spend alone together. I always used to think that there are certain things that will never ever happen to me. Slowly but surely I see them happening though.

I got a couple of "proposals" few days back. Really strange to see guys lined up like that on paper. DOB-XXX, Cast-XXX, Height-XXX, Education-XXX. How can anyone put themselves like this and expect another individual like them based on that. Having said that, I know that I am pretty much available as a bunch of specifications on some paper. And if I manage to impress someone with that, they will ask for my photo. Eventually, there will be remarks like hair too short, I don't like her smile, nah... too thin, too dark. So basically, I, a human being capable of having emotions, will be treated as a commodity in market. And there will be yet another victim of a constitution called marriage.
