I attended the marriage reception of my friend Hridish's brother in Bangalore on Friday night.The function was held in a hall and I could see pleasant faces of all the relatives and friends who came for the marriage reception.
I was quite taken by the thought of importance of marriage in a person's life. It is a testimony of one's presence in a society. Here I could see that majority of the invitees had a good relationship with the parents of the bridegroom, but I am not sure how familiar was the bridegroom to his relatives since he was abroad in US.This brought to me the reality that many of us in software profession seldom have any relationship with our own relatives back home nor share a common social space with them. It happens that a software professional is busy working in Bangalore that he is not bothered to keep his social relations back home alive. But for the presence of parents back home, most of the s/w professionals do not have a social relation buildup. It happens with many that they meet their own relatives for the first time in their marriage only!

Sorry if this is out of topic, but I went through your profile, and saw you liked reading Nancy Drew books. Me too, I love Nancy Drew! But it is the first time I have seen a boy who likes nancy drew (no offence), you deserve to be appreciated because most of them think Nancy Drew should be read by girls and Hardy Boys were, as rule, to be read by boys. I think that is stupid. You like RK narayan too, I suppose? Because you like Malgudi days.
hi lakshmi, regarding your comments on my reading likes, i am a fan of Enid Blyton, I like series of Secret Seven, the Five FindOuters, Famous Five etc. I also love Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys. I like Nacny Drew more because the stories goes around investigation by a bold yet humble Nancy in her own little ways! 'Malgudi Days', 'Wise&OtherWise', 'Old man and his God', 'How I taught my Grandmother to read' are all appreciable books because of the natural stories that revolve around ordinary village people. These days I like reading real life stories of people who built great companies, like the 'Google Story'
Me too Blyton fan! Bought Harry potter? I bought one on the second day.
HEI
