Matrimonial Cell

An Englishman celebrating his twenty-fifth wedding anniversary gave a big part for all his friends. But the host was nowhere to be seen. Finally a friend found him in the library, drinking a brandy and staring on the fire.

‘’peter’’ the friend said, ‘you should be celebrating with your guests. Why are you so sad?’’

‘’Charles’’, the husband explained, ‘when I had been married for five years I decided to kill my wife. I went to my lawyer and told him what I was going to do. He said that if I did it I would get twenty years to do in prison.

‘’just think, Charles, tonight I would have been a free man.’’

H M,

Are you married? There are three rings involved in matrimony - Engagement Ring, Wedding Ring and SufferRing.

Take care

I've been married almost 21 years. I guess if you marry the wrong person it can be like this story. But both my husband and I agree that we are best friends, I know it sounds so sappy. But we really do it for each other. I hope your up coming marriage is just as happy.

I find that hysterical. I have escaped the pain, though.

almost every joke has a bitter aspect that we generally hide behind the color of wit...

remembering the famous hindi cliche,

"shaadi woh ladu hai, jo khaaye woh pachtaaye... jo na khaaye woh bhi pachtaaye"

I wonder if that truly is the case , because people who love each other never would rob off their spouse's 5 months pocket money ;)

Though temporary go-around relations have been materialised these days !

A price to pay ;)

Mr/Miss Attitude

If you are sitting in some waiting room and an annoyed personality (apparently without any specific reason to be) accompanied by forced elegancy, sits beside you. And if that very figure continue his/her stay with overwhelmingly delicate movements ,a slightly hostile frowing,and lips twisted in somehow grouchy as if just engulfed a bad ill-tasted candy ;then get sure you just come across by ‘ miss/mr Attitude’’. As per dictionary, one of the 9 possible meanings of this word attitude is : the behavior marked with a cool, cocky, defiant, or arrogant manner. When i pondered upon this definition it recalled me a number of people whom i can assign the title of Mr. and Miss. Attitude. Since the day I started observing society with a little bit mature eye, I keep on finding a number of figures that keep surrounded with an aura that their anger, their smile, their upsettness rather each and every move is observed by others .in case people made a great mistake of ignoring such angelic fi

Where is the climax of life?

Image
For every reader the climax of the story is the most interesting phase. This very point always remains surrounded by bulk of conflicts and burning problems, still we feel attracted ourselves towards climax. Apparently it shows that man feels conformable among challenges, but reality is something else. We want climax to get appeared because we want things to get settled. We want them to arrange themselves in rather smooth manner. We always expect that after this climax, all conflicts will be removed, problems will be solved, controversies will be erased, and exactly in the same way we want them to. But, is it really happen with the climax of life? I should have rather asked whether there exists any climax in life or not. in this real drama of life ,one can never be able to get stuck with a single climax and hope of the swaying peace afterwords, as life is an amalgam of climaxes .It deals with one conflict and keeps ready to offer another. When I was a child, I was told that after
