"I loved reading this book! Such an enjoyable read which was hilarious at some points but also really highlighted how arranged marriages are viewed from different perspectives, especially in western society. It's hard to find a book that isn't too 'heavy' but also covers important issues and makes you really empathise with the main character. Highly recommend if you're looking for a fun read but something a bit different from the usual chick-lit."

Download or read book Modern Romance written by Aziz Ansari and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2016-06-14 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The #1 New York Times Bestseller “An engaging look at the often head-scratching, frequently infuriating mating behaviors that shape our love lives.” —Refinery 29 A hilarious, thoughtful, and in-depth exploration of the pleasures and perils of modern romance from Aziz Ansari, the star of Master of None and one of this generation’s sharpest comedic voices At some point, every one of us embarks on a journey to find love. We meet people, date, get into and out of relationships, all with the hope of finding someone with whom we share a deep connection. This seems standard now, but it’s wildly different from what people did even just decades ago. Single people today have more romantic options than at any point in human history. With technology, our abilities to connect with and sort through these options are staggering. So why are so many people frustrated? Some of our problems are unique to our time. “Why did this guy just text me an emoji of a pizza?” “Should I go out with this girl even though she listed Combos as one of her favorite snack foods? Combos?!” “My girlfriend just got a message from some dude named Nathan. Who’s Nathan? Did he just send her a photo of his penis? Should I check just to be sure?” But the transformation of our romantic lives can’t be explained by technology alone. In a short period of time, the whole culture of finding love has changed dramatically. A few decades ago, people would find a decent person who lived in their neighborhood. Their families would meet and, after deciding neither party seemed like a murderer, they would get married and soon have a kid, all by the time they were twenty-four. Today, people marry later than ever and spend years of their lives on a quest to find the perfect person, a soul mate. For years, Aziz Ansari has been aiming his comic insight at modern romance, but for Modern Romance, the book, he decided he needed to take things to another level. He teamed up with NYU sociologist Eric Klinenberg and designed a massive research project, including hundreds of interviews and focus groups conducted everywhere from Tokyo to Buenos Aires to Wichita. They analyzed behavioral data and surveys and created their own online research forum on Reddit, which drew thousands of messages. They enlisted the world’s leading social scientists, including Andrew Cherlin, Eli Finkel, Helen Fisher, Sheena Iyengar, Barry Schwartz, Sherry Turkle, and Robb Willer. The result is unlike any social science or humor book we’ve seen before. In Modern Romance, Ansari combines his irreverent humor with cutting-edge social science to give us an unforgettable tour of our new romantic world.

Download or read book Deranged Marriage written by Sushi Das and published by Random House Australia. This book was released on 2012-10-01 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An affectionate, often hilarious, memoir of growing up in London in the 1970s in an Indian household, and avoiding an arranged marriage. ‘From the age of fourteen, I was aware my parents expected me to have an arranged marriage, a big Bollywood wedding. There was just one hitch: nobody asked me.’ For Sushi Das, growing up in 1970s London was a culturally messed-up time. Feminists were telling women they could be whatever they wanted, skinheads were yelling at dark-skinned foreigners to go home and The Boomtown Rats were singing about ‘Lookin’ after Number 1.’ While Sushi was fabricating intricate lies and plotting harebrained schemes to get to the pub and meet ‘undesirable elements’ – boys – her parents were on the hunt for a respectable Indian doctor for her to marry. But how do you turn your back on centuries of tradition without trashing your family’s honour? How do you break free of your parents’ stranglehold without casting off their embrace? And how do you explain to your strict dad why there’s a boy smoking in his living room and another one lurking in his garden? Breaking free meant migrating to the other side of the world, only to find that life in Australia had unexpected consequences. This is an intelligent, often hilarious memoir and a fascinating look at one of the oldest traditions of Eastern culture, which aims to join two families in economic prosperity, but whose reality is not always so blissful.

Download or read book Love Marriage Versus Arranged Marriage written by Ujwal Shankar and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2022-12-23 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marriage is the final frontier of "being established" in life, or is it? "Are you married?", "Why aren't you married?", and "When are you getting married" are the three most asked questions throughout the world. Getting married is considered a major event in life. If marriage is considered the most important accomplishment in a global society, then finding and choosing someone to spend the rest of your life with is the most challenging. Often, we see couples dating each other for years break up eventually for want of compatibility. Sometimes, these breakups happen due to ego clashes and sometimes the couple is indecisive and cannot say if they are best for each other or not. When unsure, Love Marriage Versus Arranged Marriage: The Role of Relationship Management could be the best guidebook that could help find a solution to this. The first in a series by Ujwal Shankar, this book delves deeper into topics that are always near and dear to the hearts of young people, such as how to better understand a potential life partner. This book has its roots five years ago, when its author, Ujwal Shankar, responded to a question about whether or not a potential spouse was a good match on the Q&A website Quora. His response was only a few paragraphs long, but he couldn't help but feel like he'd done the issue a disservice. He believed the question warranted a more in-depth analysis than he could provide in such a short space. Then, about a year ago, some events transpired. During his doctoral studies at XLRI School of Management, Jamshedpur, he enrolled in the "Managerial Counselling Course," which gave him the opportunity to understand issues confronting young minds. Further, he wrote his autobiography as a submission for another course titled "Managerial Competence and Career Development." When he submitted the paper, he realised that he had been a witness to numerous instances from which he could draw insights about human behaviour in a completely different framework. Lastly, he had a "discussion" with his niece about whether Love Marriage or Arranged Marriage was preferable. This conversation inspired him to write this book. So, whether or not you are dating someone, but if marriage is on your mind and you feel need some insights- then why not just go for Love Marriage Versus Arranged Marriage: The Role of Relationship Management?

Download or read book Arranged Marriage written by Swarn Singh Bains and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2014-11-26 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main topic of this book is arranged marriage. So it is self explanatory to indicate what this book is about. There is quite a bit of doubt and confusion in the west; how the people in India get married through arranged marriage system without seeing or knowing the spouse. The arranged marriage is a contract of co-existence for life signed in the presence of the guardians of faith, guardians and guarantors of contract and well wishers. We take marriage for granted without knowing the intricacies of married life. It is not so. To stay married is the highest priority of life. It is much higher than signing a contract to get a job and make money and even obeying the faith values, because the faith can be achieved through values and love of married life. In arranged marriage the necessities of life are taken into consideration not the enjoyment for a few days. It is a contract signed in good faith. The acceptance of the spouse is the most important factor for the marriage to last forever. This factor is drilled into the couple by the elders to realize the requirements of the spouse. Realizing and fulfilling those requirements makes the marriage last forever. There are some other short stories in the book. Most of those stories are true but some are imaginary as well. So read it and find out what the writer is trying to convey and justify.
