To be edited someday

I have asked myself this question several times. What we remember most? Some friends told me we tend to remember the joyful memories and forget those ones which are not so good. I don't know may be it's true I tried to verify it a lot but somehow I felt I remember those memories which are not so good but somehow touched me. anyway i am not going to start with memory again. An insignificant(is it?) memory - when i was a kid, once i went to my cousin-brother's marriage. After coming back home i told my sister the bride was not so beautiful. My sis actually came quite strongly against this comment. She said so what! if everyone starts looking for external beauty what about those girls who are not so beautiful but nice at heart. Though I was kid then and my sis was also quite small at that time, that comment touched me a lot! I heard people saying as you get matured after certain age you don't look for physical beauty. But I really think it's not so true. I think when we are kids we are less conscious about the beauty about our potential :) girlfriends. Till you get married, the more you grow up specially after college you are more conscious about physical beauty about your tobe partner. I have friends, very decent, but even they sometime are in dilemma like "if others would find her beautiful". I am not blaming anyone here, or should I say I don't have the right to blame anyone, coz may be one part of me think like them. By the way whatever I am writing is strictly male point of view, I think girls are lot better than us in this regard. Isn't it really sad, unfortunate for a girl who is really romantic in heart, sweet and adventurous etc etc to get married to some extremely boring person, just because she is not beautiful. (Well in India even so called beautiful and witty girls also get married to undeserving persons and compromise for rest of their lives! long live arrange marriage. anyway that's a different discussion) I think beauty is no(should not be) criteria for love, at best it's like a good perfume which attracts you.Like the fragrance of perfume beauty is also transient. I really doubt if beauty has ever acted as a binding force for a couple. It's the inner beauty that binds everything. may be you have heard the same comment lots of time before but it's true. You might find some girl not so beautiful when you first see her, but after sometime when she has become a good friend of yours, you will find her quite decent looking. How much of these opinions I follow in my life? I can't say ..sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. ..you might call me hypocrite. I shall put the blame on my sun sign (pisces) and feel happy ! good night !
