Match Fixing
No…no…no…no…π
Not the cricket wala match_fixing.
The life_partner wala desi match_fixing by the parents of a bride & groom π
My story is a status like “now it can be toldπ”( both 70+, not worthy of “commercial hacking”. Physical Sadistic_hacking( unto death ) isn't a satisfying project π₯
My dad did the match_fixing π€£.
Unpredictably f-a-s-t in decision making π₯.
At least 5 times out of 15, it was just an hour's notice “we are renting a new house”. Obviously , it's a scramble π. Few things break in transit. An Unfortunate “daily-friend” like grinding stone & pestle finds a new pair of parents ( some “good” neighbour is happily there to adopt an unconditional servant we forsake abruptly π
Dad's view ( only my guess work π π₯):
“It's our family tradition π. Parents dictate the would-be life-partner of their offspring.
I know what's good for my child π. I have “the” experience too! De-bugging, if at all, is Gawd’s/God’s bijness, else why do we spend on offerings? Plus a bit of blind_faith on Him?...... ( And so on)”
Dad's performance:
He told “point blank” at his Counter_part (girl's dad): “look… I am here to see if the girl can TOLERATE my son for her life_time, and NOT to test if I am ABLE to find the ‘best girl’ available”( that gentleman was “naturally” shaken a lot π… wwhhhaat? ( Guess the rest)
“No ‘terms’, do what you like” added my dad(the only comforting part of the match_fixing.
Uncertainty loomed at the bride's household. ( Details are quite “exciting” but its too long plus, I owe some_decency to not making it too public π€£).
My view:
I exist and even lived this far because of my parents ( my mom didn't have any “say” in the match_fixingπ. Her mother-in-law was alive, gotcha?...yep! )
I am ‘able’ to be damn comfortable with
a)my elders around as a kid( though they used me as their object of entertainment, except a few)
b)I was enriched by my schoolmates & teachers , also at college likewise, except a very_few negative ones
c) I sailed through ‘smooth’ with colleagues of very dissimilar types, reactionary & responsive, with its sub_classifications numerous π.
d) I was manning( not womaning,π₯) a public counter at a busy branch of a huge commercial bank. ( Poorest to stinking_rich ‘deal’ with me with their commodity ‘money’, and today ONLY money matters for most of usππ₯). None, yes_none ever had a grudge in getting along with me,π
All the a-to-d items were NOT of my_choosing.
So?... Khuda meherbaan tou gadha bhi pehelwaan( When God is generous, even a donkey is a wrestler to_Win alwaysπ)
I had zero reason to protest ( the only choice I reserved was “dad's choice for this girl, or else, I get on as a lone traveler on my life priority —spiritual questπ). And the rest is his(her)story π
The joke: I am ‘armed’ today with tools required to deal with a good number of mutual inconsistencies, (except financial related trust, where we(me+spouse)failed to EVER mistrust each other π, so zero competence), and can help the “apprehensions” of any youth, who can ‘afford’ to trust any value addition from meπ
Fixedly yours,
