To Young from Old...

It is good to be around people who are elder to you at work. They somehow feel responsible for you and give you a lot of expert comments/advices.

"Get a lot of divorces or annulments before you get married to your guy. You will be rich and will never have to work again."

"All men are nice before marriage, they listen to you, they give you gifts. After marriage, well, you should be glad if he is home." [A woman's perspective]

"All women are nice before marriage, they seem sweet and innocent. After marriage, just agree to whatever they have to say because if you voice your opinion, you are a dead man." [A man's perpective]

"An arranged marriage might be a good deal. You might get married to someone far better by keeping your mouth shut and saying yes to your parents' choice than dating around for godknowshowmanyyears and saving yourself the ordeal of going through bad relationships."

"If I come to India and claim that I have lots of money, would your dad agree to give me your hand in marriage?"

"If someone expects more than you can deliver, just go to them with both hands extended. Tell them, if you give me cr*p in one hand and your wishes/dreams in another, which hand do you think would fill up first?"
