Who fell in love with Annie who was eight feet tall!
Every time I see 'em comin' down the street,
I know true love just can't be beat!
Cause love makes the world go 'round and around.
Love makes the world go 'round!
Your pulse will beat and your heart will pound,
'Cause love makes the world go 'round! "
- Perry Como 'Love Makes The World Go round'
Thanks to a lot of social networking sites we get to meet plenty of our old, long lost friends. Lots of reunions and reminiscences, Another thing that strikes you then is 'Hey almost everyone is getting married these days or engaged or have already got married' Which is a wonderful thing. To share and feel truly happy for someone, really adds the topping to all the camaraderie.
You ponder on it further, considering your own marriage and a smile dawns on your face. You can see a wonderful combination of love marriages and mixed marriages everywhere. The combinations are so varied and unique - you are presented with a refreshing version of National Integration. National or Global integration with such a depth that no Text book or Constitution can amend or preach.
And the wine that binds all this together is a sweet little word which we all know as 'Love'. I've always held deep admiration for such love and friendships which broke all barriers of man-made regions, states, caste, religions, languages. And watching all this wonderful bonds being created my faith in 'things always turn out for the better' is affirmed.
As time passes, everything changes, and for the good. As time passes by, all man made barriers are and will be broken down. Our own thoughts, opinions, prejudices will be razed down and new thoughts, new ideas will be reconstructed with a stronger foundation to support it. Love truly makes the world go around and this time around, it is helping mend broken relations, history, communal disharmony and bringing in a new wave of National integration generously sprinkled with Love.
Mahatma Gandhi said, "Let us forget all thoughts of, I am a Hindu, you are a Muslim or I am a Gujarati, you are a Madrasi, let us think, I and mine in a common Indian nationality, we shall be free only when a large number of our people are determined to swim or sink together."

Why only think we are all Indians. Better than that is acknowledging that we are all HUMANS. Just like language and states and cultures, even the nationality doesn't make our souls different from one another. That, too, is thinking narrow in a way.
The highest commonness is being ONE SPECIES.
hey G, nice to see you post...it's been such a long while!
and also very refreshing to see someone happy about everyone getting married. i, on the other hand, am always afraid that i'll the last of my friends to get married, and i'll be left lonely because all my friends would rather hang out with their better halves :(
I totally agree with Darshan, why divide at all??? Why can't we just be human beings who have to coexist?
Won't the world be a better place without distinction???
Sheff!
Very nice read.
So long as one gets married for the right reasons & is committed, love or arranged, mixed or same, all else is immaterial right :) Liked MK Gandhi's quote!
