Nice idea, but I don't like this comparison for the only reason that in arranged marriage and with our indian culture you don't have any other option than to force to love the person you married, to adjust things and to change yourself for suitability.
Please be sure that I don't criticized our culture or arranged marriages, but I prefer love marriage. With love marriage you know who and what to expect, the exciting thing in arranged marriage can be the surprise fact, but it can also be a bad surprise and then it is too late. Being indian and a responsible human being, we can only continue to accept and force to love the person... Having said that, I don't like the comparison because when I listen to our boss new album, I never forced myself to like it. ARR songs are so excellent that even people who decided to criticize his songs end-up liking it.

With an arranged marriage, as many of you have probably experienced, you meet your partner, talk, you try to get to know each other, but it's awkward at first....you may have some doubts, fears, and in some cases, you may not like the person at all. But, over time, once familiarity takes over, and if you give that person a chance, MOST OF THE TIME, your love for that person will grow, and grow, based on a deeper understanding and appreciation of the person....understanding the finer qualities It's a love not based on infatuation or artificial traits, but grows gradually under patience and time. Now, I will make a few word substitutions and try to recreate the same paragraph..... With a new ARR album, as many of you have probably experienced, you buy it/download it, listen to it, and try to get to know it better, but it's awkward at first.....you may have some doubts, fears, and in some cases you may not like the album at all. But over time, once familiarity takes over, and if you give that album a chance, MOST OF THE TIME, your love for that album will grow and grow, based on a deeper understanding and appreciation of the album....understanding the finer qualities. It's a love not based on first impression only or surface gloss, but grows gradually under patience and time. -- Cheers, Madhavan.R Be a Music Fan; not a Music Pirate! _________________________________________________________________ Windows Live: Keep your friends up to date with what you do online. http://www.microsoft.com/middleeast/windows/windowslive/see-it-in-action/social-network-basics.aspx?ocid=PID23461::T:WLMTAGL:ON:WL:en-xm:SI_SB_1:092010
