The Disguised Treasure

Stimulated by an article in the OP-ED page Hindu, my thoughts navigated to revolutionise d myopian attitude with which i viewed d "past". Past that dates back to centuries old, d past that passed onn the legacy of Myths & Legends wrapped wid a "fragile reasoning". A few minutes of thought tarnished the so-called "Decade long cherished Y's and Y'nots" posed to my mom, grandma and to all those who tried to defend the tradition.

Myths that have been reduced to the status of fairy tales, Legends that were supposed to be mystique are now mere thoughts that has been subjected to humiliation. The rich tradition, culture of the past has been estranged 'n the references from which is now ruled out as anachronistic 'n gibberish. Now lemme tel you why I came to such dramatic conclusions.

First of all lemme justify the title, which in many ways is the answer to my present attitude of the past (Many of my view points may be from a hindu-perspective bcz i have always wondered, criticised many of the belief'z tht haunted me as to y ppl believe such unreasonable rubbish). Analyzing a few facts tht everyone of us know from history texts or from elzwer(dose untolerable onez)...
The 4-caste system followed extensively.

Why women had to be secluded to suchhan extent 'n bestowed below a man.
Ghandhari gave birth to 100 sons (how- yu all know!!).
d concept of hell 'n heaven... 'n lotzz many.. this wil be an endless list...
'n onna personal note- how cud arranged marriages ever work!!(honestly, i've wondered for ages!!)

Now on my way to vindicate d sudden twistzz in my belief'z via...
Genetics-- genes get passed on to d offsprings. Environment is also another factor that shapes up the characteristics of a person. So a generation of ppl with similar traits 'n the environment that is presented to the child is apt for him to posess similar characteristics of the previous generation. In noway am I advocating or justifying the system to the core. But, somewhere i feel that it wasnt suchha nonsense. It bore some logic somewhere that people of that age were aware of such concepts. This is precisely what i'm trying to bring into d spot-light- "People of such civilizations had an insight by which they attempted to make societies simpler to manage, reducing the complexities".
Next, culturing a sperm and an egg in the rite environment s enough to giv rise to 100 offsprings. Referencing again- people of tht "yuga" juz did that. Next, My 19 yearz of experience wid d 'XX' chromosome subtly but strongly indicates me that women feel secure 'n happy(in deir deeper SELF ultimately) when their spouses win over them(howsoever intelligent & a feminist she might be). Its this feeling of accepting d man above her HAS been throughly used upon by generations till now!!
Another beautiful concept of evolution 'n Adaptation- I now seem to attribute reasons for happenings wid a note tht-- its juz evolution!! simple as it might seem!! But its absolute truth!! Proving pragmatically-- y do yu think social networking sites hav sprown up soo much lately!! bcz More ppl use it- throng for suchha place to get themselves public- d present society accepts it, Social networking has survived 'n wil still evolve. Birds evolved from Reptiles to suit their needs 'n to adapt to d changing situationz. Everyone of us evolve over a period of time attempting to get in sync wid the changing timezz.

Finally, "pyar vaqth se nahi, ussesa kiya jatha hain jissa vaqth guzarthe hain" - d defining dialogue in salaam-e-ishq. Its this magic that unites two strangers who get into d most beautiful institution called marriage wherein love blossoms unknowingly, but with all the genuineness 'n warmth.
