And who exactly are we teaching common sense to! Before I can correct a mistake, I have to admit it's a mistake, don't I? But we never admit our mistakes in the first place. And then there's marriage! In arranged marriages, a girl who scores high on all the so-called 'plus points' and makes it to the preferred list—even she gets harassed and tormented in countless ways. Dear God, and those who lag behind in the calculations, what becomes of them is beyond words! Only those who are the don't-care types, really tough characters, remain unaffected. But those who do get affected—their condition becomes truly dreadful. Even worse off are those who aren't having children or can't have children. The ways people torment them are simply countless. Talk to them and you'll understand why people get so fed up with the Bangladeshi mentality! If you sit down to think about the arranged marriage system, you'll literally go into a coma. It's not just the girls who get harassed—the boys get plenty of grief too. These days there's this insane obsession (really, madness) among girls' guardians with government jobs; it seems like not being able to marry off your daughter to a government employee is the same as throwing her into a fire! Seeing all this, it feels like you should keep 4-5 options open at once—meaning you should be in love with multiple people simultaneously. Many might not want to accept this, but in love, war, and marriage, there's no such thing as unfair. Some people's job is simply to annoy and embarrass others. Looking at them fills me with such pity... oh, what pointless lives they lead, yet they go on living with all their teeth bared in a grin! Who burns itself but doesn't burn others? Hydrogen. Who doesn't burn itself but burns others? Oxygen. Who neither burns itself nor burns others? Carbon dioxide. Who burns itself and also burns others? Bengalis.
