Be it matrimony, be it just shopping, be it starting early from work, there is one word that drives world.. a simple ten lettered word " Priorities".
I wonder what amount of thinking goes behind defining the Priorities.
Defining priorities by itself is a priority.
Now, wat makes me talk abt priorities....Its just this, a friend happened compose a 60 questions sheet which he feels covers all the topics which are important to him., lest he misses something while conversing with a potential suitor.
I was thoroughly amused and angry when i saw that questionnaire.
It makes no sense in making a person sit through with a paper and fill in the details as if its just another exam.
Having said this, not all ppl are vocal and confidant enough to voice their thoughts, so this questionnaire might just be an ice breaker.
One thing of all impressed me mightly, the person who composed this has pumped in ample energy, good will, intention and time to understand his priorities and order them.
Though, i dont approve of the Questionnaire exchange method, I am happy ppl have started understanding their WANTS. For matrimony is one topic wherein you must be clear about the difference between your expectations and wants!
Now if you had expected a neat decent post... i m sorry... and yeah! if you want to comment-- I would just luv to know your view...
cheers

The current generation is a whole lot confused abt relationships and marriage than the previous ones!
Our fathers and grandfathers never had to worry/think about marriages !! :-)
Just another day in new India and the new world!! wont be surprised to see weirder things happening!! ;)
hmmmm - i do not necessarily agree! I believe being sure about what you want is a good way to go about any major decisions in life! And in thsi context, if it is 60 qs that do it, why not? Not necessarily to share or exchange with a potential suitor of course, but maybe to look thru and ask yourself the questions to ascertain....
BTW, Pushkala - now that you vocalised your opinions about this questionnaire, you may as well have posted a link to this 'useful' :D piece of information!
I would have liked to see the questionnaire:D
I'm sure it's just another way to get to know the person...a not-so-subtle, direct approach. If your friend's like that, so be it:)
Expectation:
Partner shouldn’t snore in the bed.
Want:
A peaceful sleep is certainly a priority and a must ‘want’. So isn’t expecting someone who doesn’t snore in the bed a ‘want’ in real in this case?
Ok, that a stupid comparison but still I jus wanted to link the expectations and wants… ;-)
On a serious note, one’s expectations should arise from his/her wants. It should not be the other way, basing the wants on the expectations.
About the questionnaire, I too don’t approve of it. But it’s always a helpful for self reference if you’re looking at an ‘arranged’ marriage.
