So I am confused what to do, an arrange marriage or should I get a maid and/or cook and/or cleaner.
Poll link on YouTube so you can comment. I am lazy and I can't be bothered to integrate a chat feature here, also I don't get much free time. (Wanted to post on twitter but ever since that Dictator has taken over I am unsure if it this post or my account will remain there.)
Let's start with cleaner:
Well the problem started with the washroom and that it requires cleaning quite often than what anyone of us in the family can take out time for, most are busy in their own job.
I am well and happy to get a cleaner just for washroom, which we had when the washrooms were not part of the same room but ever since they are people insist we can't let low caste people come into our own room plus there is the more disadvantages of them stealing something, as we know, poor people will do anything to survive.
Now, ever since we made the washroom in our own room, getting her inside the room is out of the question. While I was in Begampur, Rohini Sec-22, Mangal bazaar wala road, first big apartment to the left which was a make-shift P.G. a cleaner used to come there I think it was ever other day to clean the room, I don't know her name let alone her caste. Am I polluted?
A decade ago, I went into a friend's home to get a practical copy so I could copy it for submission (different story) and I was given water to drink, but I was never actually invited in because her mother wasn't sure of my "caste", good thing too because they are in the highest of the caste level. I didn't know this back then but years later.
It is important to keep our traditions and so we will keep this alive. Now, with that in mind, let's get back to the question at hand.
So, we know that we can't lower caste people into our homes and especially inside the rooms in which we sleep, so this automatically means that if I were to get married, it can't be a lower caste so I can't let her enter my room and it can't be higher, in case I ever want to visit her home, I will have to stand at the gate and it will be quite awkward.
"Bhaiyaa bahar kyu khare ho?"
"Are wo jaat chota hain na."
This is also added on with the fact that there is a certain ego level that you have to maintain to be a part of a society and unless you are marrying a higher caste, you are bringing same to the family.
Conclusion 1: So arranged marriage can be in the same caste only.
Conclusion 2: Someone who enters our room can also be of the same caste only.
I have no idea about sub-caste, gotra and sub divisions of it so I will have to leave that trouble to the experts, Pandits, who will decide what girl I end up with along with my extended family.
Now that that's done, we can get back to the same question once again, a cleaner that is of the same caste might be hard to find since we don't belong to the lowest of the caste that are "supposed" to do the dirty works of the higher castes(Is it castes or casts? Whatever it is, it is fucking racist). A cleaner of the same caste ready to clean the washroom is out of the question, so we are left with a dirty washroom that we have to clean ourselves by taking out time from our double jobs so it's out of the question.
Yes, double, -retracted as it might affect someone else-
And, since I am a celebrity, you already know my hectic schedule. One job can't cut it. That has also been the reason why I haven't be able to complete my sleep lately.
Conclusion 3: Arranged marriage in the same caste level is the only choice if you want to keep your washroom clean
Now, since we are going to get her anyways, why not make sure she does everything else in the house? Or depending on the financial situation, she can hire some people of her own, "within our set caste and ego boundaries" after proper consultation with the elders in our family. But the point is, she should be responsible for a clean washroom and let's extend that responsibility to a clean house, and also the food she is supposed to cook and every little chore that happens in the family.
Now with that much work and since soon she will be impregnated to bear a child, she doesn't need to do a "proper" job. She can have her little hobbies and small business but if it affects her primary responsibility, she will be taken off off it and she will have to do it until the day she dies, possibly not in heaven because we aren't going there with this behavior, but no worries, it's what we do here that counts. Thinking of changing the title to, "Legalizing Slavery in India," but what's done is done, let's move ahead.
Conclusion 4: Arrange marriage and make sure the girl is not in any job since she will start facing the same issues and we will end up with a dirty washroom once again.
Finally, we have an answer to one part of the question: Should I do an arranged marriage or get a cleaner is? is, drum roll please... "Do an arranged marriage."
And as a bonus, we don't even have to pay her. In fact, her family is supposed to pay us and a lot of that amount insisting that it's for the betterment of the family. Even people are forcing us to save money aside from the huge amount of the marriage ceremony money to give so that we can set her life on track, after all, this money will be her new family, or will it? I mean all she is doing is slavery.
But don't get worried, she won't leave, this much burden on her family for just one marriage and so much social pressure means she won't leave, no matter the consequences. Also, since we are making her economically dependent, she won't be able to even if she wants to.
Oh yeah, don't worry about if the girl turns out to be non-cooperative, we will pressure her family into making sure to let her go through a guilt trip so she serves us properly, or in rare occasions, we will do another marriage and make this marriage null and void on paper, pretty easy if you have a decent amount of money, which I guess you will have with two dowries [I know one].
And since Dowry isn't exactly written on the money given along with the fact that people like to keep the tradition alive, we are sure no one will speak up to the injustice on the girl's part.
Also, a second bonus, she is supposed to work all the time, even and especially during holidays.
And since we are giving her so much benefits, why shouldn't she handle everything else in the family including and especially cooking. Below is a short real excerpt:
"Didi, I am supposed to cook rotis on a induction so that they remain very soft, it takes a lot of time and I have to do it at least three times a day. If I try to cook it on the gas, I am scolded.
Along with that, I have been given strict instructions to never make sure a food is repeated in a week in any meal. I thought I prepared to everything but since this is a different state this is all that I am doing."
Paraphrased obviously, it's been years. I am unsure about this and it's too much of an issue to ask but basically she wasn't doing anything else for the years she was young and could have learnt some skills or continued her education until she "cooked the rotis" correctly.
BTW everyone wanted to be married in that family because they were earning a lot of money, financial stability is the king of all in India.
And it's a good thing too because the amount of ridicule my father has had to face over the years for being different and making his kids speak English or educating her wife has been too much for a little family to bear. Oh yeah, I keep important things in my mind even if it looks from the surface that I only care about tech and gaming. I observe human behavior a lot *patting myself on the back*.
Glad neither me or my sister never accepted any sort of favor from the men in that family even if it would have propelled us in our career very quickly and we would be NRI earning foreign money and keeping our traditions alive.
Well, there is a compromise to this, instead of focusing on marriage, focus on love, with that we don't need to care what caste, social, economic, ego conditions either of us are, even at times, a larger difference of age will be fine and with that we also wouldn't care what service worker comes into our house just like we don't care what was the caste of the person who assembled my keyboard on which I am typing this. Hope he was an atheist so I don't have to worry.Also, we are going to ridicule love to a point that people think it's all just sex and since sex is taboo in India (weirdly love isn't, as you can see for yourself) most will stay away from it and keep thinking that a girl and a boy can never be just friends, since friendship is the start of any such relationship, this will never amount to anything at all, and even if it did, enough pressure should be put on the girl so she ends it before her "actual" relationship that she is supposed to be in.
While we are at it, we must also kill that honest bald short man (oh that was already done, no wonder), we will kill his ideals too by making sure to spread rumors about him and his practices and what he did was absolutely wrong. Let's also replace his face on the currency to someone else, anyone, just wipe that face off of our currency. While we are at it, also rename the locations and stadiums to fit our ideology. I mean after all India is just one religion and just one language, give or take a few people who we will make sure have to learn and live with it or find a new home. After all, we hate diversity and we have been ill-treated for so long.
Yeah, this is too much of a headache, I am going back to gaming and tech. The right girl (which fits the above category) will come along, I pray to our personal ancestral God. Will clean toilet by myself till then even if it means a few people might not be able to talk to me to get their laptop.
P.S: Yes, it's a fucking joke so you don't have to do anything about it. If you get angry at one or two words here make sure to comment it so that other people can also disregard this post due to that word.
P.P.S: This was a mere thought experiment to understand the perspective of people still insisting on arranged marriage and/or dowry and/or same cast marriage and some other tangents that were shot off from it.
P.P.P.S: Too close to my heart to make a video on, I might shed a tear. After all, I am a man and I can't be perceived as weak.
