Mae West is reported to have said: ‘Marriage is an institution, and who wants to live in an institution?’. Well I dunno what made this person come out with this statement. For whatever i have seen of this Institution ( as per West) i have come to the opinion that this is easily the best Invention of Human Race.

Marriage is the bedrock on which our society is built and I cannot do anything but Take My Hat Off to the person or persons who have thought of this arrangement. Readers might be wondering as to why i am speaking about Marriage now. Well, can anytime be better than the 25th Wedding anniversary of my parents ?

25 years have passed and according to my parents it has passed in a jiffy. The good days usually do pass that way, isn't it?(Remember our school holidays ???). I have had the opportunity or i will call it privilege to watch them from close quarters as neither me nor them have been forced to move out to different places due to work or studies even for a very short period so far.

And the more i see them, the more my faith gets reinforced in this relation. The bonding that the both of them share,the affection that is showered by both of them on each other and most importantly the understanding they share.

Lot of times they don't speak a word with each other and yet one does exactly what the other wants him/her to do. I have studied about these kind of things in literature when i was too young to understand that, but now i am getting what they were speaking about.

This article would be incomplete without a word about my mother. It is very natural for mothers to love their children. But it is not her affection towards me but her affection towards other people( to whom we are related in no way), animals and plants that makes me look at her in astonishment. Watching her speak to dogs, cows, cats, crows and squirrels as if they are her kids makes me look at her in awe and amazement. She epitomizes Love( affection without anything in return). And this love of hers is not limited to me or my family but it extends to anything and everything under the sun. It seems that the word "Ego" does not exist in her dictionary.( Hope that this is the case with me sometime into the future :))

If i were to write about her Kind Acts then words will not be enough.

My father who is also a good human( but no where near my Mom)is a damn lucky man to have her as his partner and they have been lucky enough to be together for 25 years and i hope that they remain united for another 25 at least.
