me and my brother's

love and marriage.

In India most of the marriages are arranged marriages.The parents find a good couple for their daughter or son.The marriages are done if both couple agrees with each other. They can take maximum 6 months to know each other and then they can do marriage.I think i like this system. If we have already found then parent should not oppose it if it is a right choice.

Indian marriage

The hindu wedding emphasis on three things:happiness,harmony and growth.Before wedding engagement is done.Groom can't see his bride before one day of marriage it is considered as a bad luck.The bride applies heena on her hands and legs before wedding day.Bride wears red saree and groom wear salwaar kameez.Groom hides his face with flower veil and comes riding on horse.The broom comes at wedding place with his relatives.They dance and blow firecrackers.
The wedding place is decorated beautifully.The bride is brought in a palkee by her brothers and father to wedding place.The couple exchanges garland as a gesture of acceptance.Then kanyadan is perfomed.In this the bride father places her hand in the groom's hand requesting him to accept her as an equal partner. The concept behind Kanyadan is that the bride is a form of the goddess Lamxi and the groom is Lord Narayana. The parents are doing their union.The priest performs the havan.Havan is the fire which is the witnessed to the god.Havan is made up of crushed sandalwood, herbs, sugar rice and oil are offered to the ceremonial fire.Then nuptial knot is tied.The scarves placed around the bride and groom are tied together symbolizing their eternal bond. This signifies their pledge before God to love each other and remain faithful.Then they do five rounds around fire in clockwise direction.The groom applies a small dot of vermillion,a red coloured on the forehead of the bride welcoming her as a his life partner.The groom also tie a necklace which is called "mangalsutra" it is seen on every married women neck's.

yearning for learning

Remembering about school days is really a fun.I went to both public and private school.I studied in public school upto 8th grade.It was a good school i didn't had to pay much fees for it.Then i studied in private school from 9th grade.Then actually i understood difference between both school.In private school teachers were lot concerned about their students.Even though i didn't liked it much but now i understood that they were doing good.The thing i used to hate was my gray color uniform and also some strict rules.Teachers were strict but at the same time they were caring.At the end of my last year in school we became like one family.I don't know much about schools over here.I think the students have much freedom over here in schools.By giving so much freedom is bad for students especially when they are growing and they don't know which is right path to follow.I think education upto 12th grade is better in my country.

emotional intelligence.

emotinal intelligence is a very good characteristic for human being.It is a pleasure to be blessed with that characteristics.People can try to adopt it.I don't really have this intelligence.I think my father has this intelliegence.sometimes when he wants to me to stop something he wil tell indirectly.He knows where to say the actual thing.I think women have more EI.They always have to deal with their family members.Men sometimes don't care whom they are talking to.It totally depends on person's mind.If he is optimist or pessimist.Optimist person will always find there way towards there goal.
