rejection...

we have all been rejected in our lives...it can something like being rejected in a job interview or being rejected by someone we love...bottom line...it happens in life...but in my culture there is this thing called arranged marriage...which means that one's family or a total stranger introduces a total stranger to you and asks you if you want to marry him or her...well,my parents are of course trying to convince me to try this...but me being me...i just cannot bring myself to do it...mainly because i just dont believe it...and i dont believe in doing something i dont believe in...i know that does not make sense but anyway they want me to try it...so someone my dad knows thought of introducing guy A to me and it is common in arrange marriage to do a background check or ask someone who knows the prospective bride/groom about the person...so guy A did that...he asked person B what sort of person i am...apparently one of the things person B told guy A is that I am a person who do not put 'pottu' on my forehead...and because of that guy A was not interested...it is so funny, what people use to judge a person...people just dont care about the person, what sort of person she is etc...people are so fast to judge...i know this is a good thing but i was just thinking, i am a whole person and all people judge is about how i look or what i wear or dont wear...isnt that sad....
