Welcome to the future...What after marriage?

Some days at Mumbai, with nothing noteworthy to do except wait for the Monday to arrive so that I can join Siemens, allowed my mind to rush through the delicacies of life...My mind pondered over many things. Let me put them down in brief. But, it is surely interested and captivating topic for humans like us, in our early 20's!

It is my Siemens who says, ‘we answer to the toughest questions’…

I wonder how things changed within so such a time frame. Think of the life span of our grand parents who lived to their fullest in their married lives and earned then. They had more than 'ample' time to give to their soul mates. 

Next came our parents who were neutral in this regard and they had to perfectly balance both married life and earning/job. And they did. They had ample time to give to the soul mates and to earn their living too.

Next, it's our turn to prove ourselves. It is now the time to prove that, 'Yes! We have the time to marry and we will do it!' Where married life, rather the life with our dreamed/loved ones is a better phrase nowadays, is on one side and our jobs/incomes on the other. It is very hard to hold both the things tightly and it will intrigue others if we do so.

Needless to say that side, with earning income, is almost touching heights. Time is not far when there will be no time with us to 'invest' in marriages and they will be held through emails. And that too in the leisure office hours. The rituals will be performed through youtube and google videos. Necklaces and rings will be sent as jpg images, and yes, in encrypted formats so that nobody could steal it. Lunch for the families and friends will be clubbed with those of some festival or might be, god knows, it might happen that lunch transforms into 'marriage coffee' or 'marriage tea' instead of marriage lunch/dinner, to save time obviously. Yes, there will be various coffee's for various 'class' functions. Simple coffee for the lower class, filter coffee or cappuccino for the middle class and here comes for the high class, the CCD coffee, anything can happen over a coffee. Worth a tag line!

It may happen that the 'muhurt' will depend upon the 'network availability' and of course will be at weekends and the photographers will be the then century webcams.  And guess what, guests will be sent an e-invitation card, which is not new nowadays. But the present cards have 'Your presence is the most valuable gift' at the bottom. Time is ahead when it will say 'Please avoid obscene chats and direct personal comments during the function'. Surprised??

These are simlple transformations of the words which are not far ahead.

1. Function hall -> chat room or the group chat.

2. 'muhurt' -> 'network availability' 

3. Marriage Lunch -> marriage teas or coffees

4. gifts -> e-order of the gifts.

5. rings or necklaces -> jpeg images, of course encrypted

6. Photographers -> Webcams

7. Patrika -> CV

But, what about the emotions and feelings, at least of the newly married couple if not of the family members. Who will take care of them??

Do not worry. Technology answers everything. Hugs and kisses will be sent, as they are now, through emoticons. More to it, you can always send files with whatever you want to write.

But, my only fear these emoticons things may not just stop to hugs and kisses, but go ahead to Ahh's and Ohh's. Might be true, but what after these emoticons?? What next??

Welcome to the future...

Let us wait and see what lies ahead but it is for sure that it is time to think on how to 'culture' our next generation!

Intel dual core processors, 'Whooo hoooon'!
