The silver anniversary

It was ma-baba's 25th anniversary last week and me and sis ware so proud to be a part of their happiness. Afterall, they had grown 25 years together and when i say 'grown', i really mean it because those days, they used to get married at such an early stage that they actually grew in height after marriage :). In the Bangalore office, a year-old married woman used to tell me that she and her husband were getting bored with each other. I did not understand it in the first place. My perception was always that people got bored with materialistic things and not with living people but whatever she told me, I take that for their true feelings. No wonder then that reality shows like '' are becoming popular and people are finding more use out of them.

In a world where there is so much freedom of expression, why should people then sway their partners, cheat with them and then fall themselves into depression. Rather they can confront them staright away. With good number of jobs available these days, women are no longer dependent on men to take care of themselves or their children. Why do we need more sleeping pills today than yesterday, why is depression becoming such a popular word today, why are we less happy when we have more luxuries than people in the yester-years? I look for an answer but cannot find any.
