Changing Matrimony Trends in India

Do you plan to get wedded to an engineer, doctor or an architect? With merging boundaries and changing perceptions, the basic steps of selecting a spouse undergo a shuffle. Now a day’s occupation of the prospective partner becomes a key factor for marriage. How the matrimony trends witnesses’ transformation in India, let’s take a look.

Overview

With everything changing across the globe, the parameters of finding a future mate have also changed over the decades. Especially in countries like India where the youth is turning more career centric. They look for a partner who belongs to the same profession that not only ensures compatibility in the personal domain but also on the professional front.

Witnessing the changing scenarios, even the matrimony sites have undergone relevant modifications and created a section where the profession of the candidates plays an important role and the customer profiles are differentiated on the basis of the occupation one is engaged in. This facilitates easy search as the business or the service industry one is absorbed in is the matter of prime concern.

It has been common now days that engineer boy looks for an engineer girl, a doctor may look for a doctor and a businessman would prefer to get a future partner from the same background. Though the opinions may differ at times but the maximally “same profession” becomes the parameter for finding a future partner. There are several reasons for this transformation.

Profession Oriented Wedding

Anxiety Factor

There were days when an educated girl and a well settled boy was the criteria on which the nuptial bonds were established but over the period of time the boost in the job market and better employment opportunities becoming available, the prospective bride or groom takes a step ahead to probe details about the profession of the future mate.

It’s not like that love has disappeared and money rules the marriages today instead the partners are more cautious about their future stability and wish to get wedded to the partner who either works in same office or in similar profession. For example considering a case of businessman matrimony, a businessman may find difficult settling with a girl in service industry. Difference in work shifts, job profiles, work pressure and a discrepancy in background of the profession may create rift between them. To overcome such mental agonies, the youth today prefer marrying the partner of sharing the same professional background.

Compatibility

It can be immense relief if the wedded couple works in same office. Imagine you can meet your partner at frequent intervals. Apart from it, sharing meals, attending parties and similar organization policies ensures more compatibility. You can plan your holidays and leisure trips accordingly.

More than half of the daily time is spent in doing office work. Getting a support of your partner in the professional arena increases the compatibility of the relation and boosts understanding levels.

Helping Hand

Think of the situation where you and your spouse handle the same business. You not only have your best person around but also a reliable helping hand. There are times when jumping on a particular decision in the business becomes difficult, you can always seek help from your spouse as he/she belongs to the same industry.

Future Stability: - Everybody wishes to grow and expand. Therefore working partner has become the need of the youth today. It ensures an earning hand, better savings and a bright and stable future. Monetary stability is big concern. A partner from the same background can resume business activities in your absence, handling crucial decisions pertaining to business planning and expansion.

Sharing Drives: - How about sharing drive with your beloved each morning? Going to office will never be dull and boring when you have the best person in the world right beside you.

A Monkey with Long Sticks

It’s a quick shot –captured from a car. I saw a monkey crossing the street using long sticks that called egrang here.  I had no chance to see the trainer / owner, the monkey was ‘walking’ alone. It’s my first time to see a monkey doing it. I felt sorry for the critter. Was the monkey happy doing it? Too dangerous, I think.

 

Can you see it? Is the man waiting across the street is the owner?

The monkey seen in Bandung (West Java, Indonesia) last Sunday when we visited the city. In Jakarta (capital city of Indonesia) any monkey show has been prohibited. Sorry for unclear pics.

Family Gathering

Happy Monday! My weekend was nice; we attended a family gathering in Bandung (West Java, Indonesia).  Surprisingly, my SIL who lives in Surabaya (East Java) could come as she will have a business meeting this Monday. She and her husband -my brother who works and lives in Jakarta- has arrived since Saturday afternoon. We all left early in Sunday morning as we also wanted to visit and fetch my SIL who lives in Bandung first.  

 A few photos taken at the event

 It took about two hours car drive –from Bogor city- to reach my brother’s home in Bandung but we faced bad traffic jam during the way to the family gathering at a cousin’s place.  It’s a family gathering of our big family from my father’s side. I saw that some relatives couldn’t attend but it’s still an enjoyable moment. Old and young people were getting together in warm and friendly ambiance, nice!

There's a cafe near the event place. I saw a blue car at a parking spot. A cute classic VW beetle in blue!

Having Your Elderly Relatives Cared for at Care Homes

It’s a sad fact of life but the number of elderly people put in care homes surges after Christmas. Recent research shows there’s usually a forty percent increase in the number of enquiries made about aged care homes during January which is thought to be due to families spending time with their aged relatives over the holiday season and realising that specialised care must be sought for them.

Many adult children have no idea how infirm their elderly parents are until the holiday season when they realise that caring for them could be an overburden they can’t manage. According to Martin Green of the English Community Care Association, “This phenomenon often results from the fact that people have been in contact with their relatives over the Christmas period and then they realise that they’re not able to manage because of illness or confusion.”

A forty percent increase in January is a massive surge in enquiries and it highlights the importance of providing suitable care for the elderly, either at home with their adult children or in a care home like Peverel Court Care in Buckinghamshire if adult children are unable to care for their elderly parents.

When should you consider having your elderly relatives cared for in a facility?

It’s a tough decision having your parents cared for in a care facility and one you shouldn’t take lightly. If you’re in a position in which you can care for your parents at home and doing so won’t overburden you, it’s a wonderful thing to be able to take care of your parents during their twilight years and if you have children of your own, then the time you spend together as a family will be even more special.

Unfortunately, however, this isn’t always the case and depending on your elderly parents’ condition this can prove unfeasible. Some conditions, like Alzheimer’s for example, require constant care and attention and even for someone who doesn’t work and has the time to stay at home with them this often proves difficult to manage.

One option, and one that’s worth looking into before you start making enquiries about elderly care facilities and homes, is hiring a care giver so your elderly parents can remain in their own home or stay with you for as long as possible. This is an option worth exploring because it can extend the time they remain somewhat independent and make it easier for you to visit and spend time with them. Moreover, it might also work out to be more affordable, which is something you’ll need to think of because there is money involved, and often a substantial amount.

Selecting a care facility for your elderly relatives

If you’ve decided there are no alternatives remaining besides having your elderly parents cared for in a facility there are a number of criteria you’ll need to look for in an aged care facility. Although there are far too many to list here, the following list will provide you with a basic understanding of the criteria that you’ll need to take into account when assessing the suitability of an aged care home.

-     A good location close to your residence and facilities (cafes, parks and shops)

-     A high standard of cleanliness and hygiene at the home

-     Comfortable accommodation and adequate facilities

If you find there are no alternatives remaining and you’re sure that having your elderly parents cared for in a home is the best option, take a look at a reputable website to download a checklist of the criteria that you should look for in an aged care facility.
