A post shared by The Cutlass Magazine®️ (@cutlassmagazine)

From @cutlassmagazine:

“If you visit Trinidad between Nauraatam and Diwali; there are Ramleela functions taking place around the nation. Dussehra or Vijayadashmi occurs during this time and signifies the victory of good over evil. Some regions of India associate the holiday with the defeat of Mahishasura at the hands of Goddess Durga. Other parts, such as Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, celebrate Lord Ram slaying Raawan and Lord Hanuman setting fire to the town of Lanka. Trinidad largely aligns with the latter tradition and is one of the only places outside South Asia where Ramleela is observed with much fervour. The comparative festivals have long since died in Guyana, Suriname, and Jamaica. In recent years delegates have been sent from those countries to Trinidad to revive Ramleela locally. The Hindustani word “leela” means play, drama, or theatrical performance. “Ramleela” is a dramatic reenactment of Lord Ram’s life and events in the Hindu epic “The Ramayan,” a core text of Indo-Trinidadian Hinduism. The “mela” (may-la) or festival lasts for ten nights. It opens with a “puja” (poo-jaa) or worship service and captures Lord Ram’s “janam” (juh-num) or birth, his “byaaha” or wedding to Sita, the “Sita Haran” or kidnapping of Sita, and other important “kathaa” or stories. It culminates on the tenth and final night with the burning of massive Raawan effigies. Several of these programs happen simultaneously in open savannahs and are tied with mandir or temple groups, cultural committees, and youth organizations, etc. They provide a platform for singers, dancers, musicians, actors, those studying “panditai” or the discipline of being a Hindu priest. It is vital Ramleela, which has been taking place for over one hundred years in some villages, continues. The funding comes from the community and it is impressive to see the grand decor and costumes.

Bommala Koluvu for Navaratri

Navaratri (Nava = nine, ratri = night), followed by Dussehra, is one of my favorite festivals of the year. I have many memories associated with it. Since my early teenage years, my mother and I would arrange a ‘Bommala Koluvu’ (Bommalu = dolls/idols, koluvu = arrangement) at home. Although it took almost a whole day to set up the steps and the idols/dolls, it was worth it. We would perform Pooja and other rituals in front of the Koluvu for all 10 days.

Note: Usually, in the culture that I come from, ‘Bommala Koluvu’ is observed during the festival of Sankranti but it can be observed during Navaratri and Deepavali, as well. My mother did this for both Sankranti and Navaratri.

Normally, people have the steps pre-built so that they don’t have to be arranged each for each festival it is used for. However, in our home, the steps were arranged differently. My mother did want to be restricted by the uniform size of the steps, which she would be if she had them built. She, instead, kept a few of our old furniture, like center tables, side tables and some cardboard boxes and used them specifically for the Bommala Koluvu. My mother and I would then cover the steps with a white or off-white cloth so the dolls would show up. We had almost 5 or 6 large moving boxes full of the dolls we would use to arrange on the steps. The set up of the steps and the white cloth would take most of our time. Arranging the dolls was the easy part.

What is the meaning behind this tradition?

The significance behind this tradition is that it pays homage to Goddess Mahishasura Mardhini (an avatar of Goddess Durga) who fought an epic battle against the demon, Mahishasura. It is Her victory that is celebrated during Navaratri. Another meaning behind the Bommala Koluvu is to tell multiple stories from South Indian mythology. It can range from scenes from Ramayan, Mahabharat, Srimad Bhagavatam and Krishna Leela. Some modern arrangements have specific themes like Sri Krishna Leela which focuses on stories ranging from Krishna’s birth to his marriages.

One of our family friends once did a Lord Ganesha themed Bommala Koluvu. In our home, we arrange a Vrindaavan on one side which shows all of Lord Krishna’s childhood. On the other side, we would arrange Kailasam (Lord Shiva’s abode) and in the middle we would arrange seven steps where each step would be dedicated to a Hindu God. For example, the first step would be for Goddess Durga and her avatars., the second step for Ashta Lakshmi (Ashta = 8), the third step for Lord Vishnu, and etc.

The best part of this tradition is that you can be as creative as you like. There are no rules on how the dolls should be arranged. And there are no restrictions as to what kind of idols and dolls you want to put in your Bommala Koluvu. You can even include some of your show pieces to make it look even more pretty!

Cultural Aspect

Bommala Koluvu is a great way to teach young children about our ancient culture, traditions, customs, mythology and the Puranas. It is also a creative of storytelling with live visuals. When dolls/idols are arranged this way, kids will be curious to learn more about each character and scenario being depicted. Plus, it also gives kids a chance to participate in the worship of Goddess Durga.

Social Significance

In the past, Hindu families were very orthodox which meant that women were did have the time to step out and catch up with friends. Moreover, some women were not permitted to leave the house as well.

The best part about Bommala Koluvu is that whoever is hosting invites friends, relatives, neighbors and so on. This is my favorite part because it meant that all our friends and relatives from all over California used to come over to our home and spend the whole night catching up with each other. This tradition ensures that friendships become stronger and helps women maintain their friendships since they can get caught up in their personal lives.

Economic Significance

India is an agricultural country where traditions like Bommala Koluvu and agriculture are related. Back in the day, the idols, dolls, and other items featured in a Bommala Koluvu were made with clay, wood, wax, glass, stone, etc. and were painted with natural paints. India is also home to many traditional handicrafts such as terracotta, Kondapalli, cloth dolls and more.

By purchasing these handcrafted items for Bommala Koluvu, the artists are encouraged to make more of them each season. All of the idols we have a home are made of clay, glass, and wood. We also have Kondapalli Bommalu (dolls) that have been passed down from my great grandmother. Another perk to purchasing these handcrafted, natural items is that they are eco-friendly!

Although arranging the dolls was tiring, catching up with friends, relatives and neighbors was made all the hard work worth it. Plus, there would a lot of leftover good food which we would eat for the next couple of days.

I hope you all enjoyed getting to more about this fun little tradition! Comment down below about a tradition you follow at your home for Navaratri!

Navratri is a major Hindu festival celebrated across India with great enthusiasm and devotion. The word "Navratri" is derived from two Sanskrit words: "Nav" meaning nine, and "Ratri" meaning nights. As the name suggests, Navratri spans nine nights and ten days, and it is dedicated to the worship of the Hindu goddess Dugra, who symbolizes purity, power, and divinity.

Navratri celebrations are elaborate and vibrant affairs that bring communities together in joyous worship and cultural festivities. Here's an overview of how Navratri is celebrated:

Preparation: Before Navratri begins, households and temples are cleaned and adorned with colorful decorations, flowers, and lights. People also buy new clothes and prepare traditional sweets and delicacies.

Devotional Practices: During the nine nights of Navratri, devotees observe fasts and engage in prayers and rituals dedicated to Goddess Durga. Special pujas (worship ceremonies) are conducted in temples and homes, where offerings such as flowers, fruits, and incense are made to the goddess.

Navratri Puja: Each day of Navratri is dedicated to worshiping a specific form of Goddess Durga known as Nava durga. Devotees recite prayers, chant mantras, and perform aarti (rituals involving the waving of lamps) to honor the goddess and seek her blessings.

Garba and Dandiya Raas : The most prominent feature of Navratri celebrations is the Garba and Dandiya Raas dance performances. In the evenings, people gather in open spaces or community halls adorned with colorful lights and decorations. They form circles and dance to the rhythmic beats of traditional folk music, singing devotional songs in praise of the goddess. Dandiya Raas involves dancing with sticks, adding an extra element of excitement to the festivities.

Traditional Attire: Participants dress in traditional attire such as colorful Chania cholis (embroidered skirts and blouses for women) and (traditional shirts) for men. The vibrant colors and intricate designs of the attire add to the festive atmosphere.

Community Participation: Navratri celebrations are inclusive, and people from all age groups and backgrounds come together to participate in the festivities. Communities organize Navratri events where everyone is welcome to join in the dancing and merriment.

Cultural Programs: Alongside Garba and Dandiya Raas, Navratri events often feature cultural programs showcasing traditional music, dance performances, and skits related to the mythology and significance of Navratri.

Culmination: The ninth day of Navratri, known as Ramanavami, culminates with special prayers and offerings to the goddess. On the tenth day, known as Vijayadashami or Dussehra, devotees bid farewell to the goddess by immersing or submerging idols of Dogra in water bodies, symbolizing her return to her celestial abode.

Difference between Chaitra Navratri and Sharad Navratri

Reading time- 5 mins

India, a land of diverse cultures and traditions, celebrates Navratri not once, but twice a year with great enthusiasm and devotion. Navratri, meaning 'nine nights,' is a Hindu festival dedicated to Goddess Durga and her various forms. These two celebrations, Chaitra Navratri and Sharad Navratri, hold unique significance and are observed at different times of the year. In this blog, we'll explore why Navratri is celebrated twice in India and delve into the captivating mythological stories behind the divine forms of Maa Durga.

Chaitra Navratri: Welcoming Spring

Chaitra Navratri falls in the Chaitra month of the Hindu calendar, typically in March or April. This festival marks the beginning of spring when nature awakens, and new life blossoms. During these nine days, devotees pay homage to Goddess Durga and seek her blessings for prosperity and good fortune.

Chaitra Navratri is believed to commemorate the day when Lord Rama, accompanied by his brother Lakshmana and devotee Hanuman, worshiped Goddess Durga to seek her blessings before embarking on his epic journey to rescue his wife, Sita, from the demon king Ravana. It symbolizes the victory of good over evil and the triumph of righteousness. The culmination of Chaitra Navratri is celebrated as Ram Navami.

Sharad Navratri: Celebration of the Harvest

Sharad Navratri, also known as Maha Navratri, is the more widely celebrated of the two. It falls in the lunar month of Ashwin, usually in September or October when the monsoon season ends and the country gears up for the harvest season. This grand festival celebrates the divine feminine and the goddess's prowess in defeating the buffalo demon, Mahishasura.

According to Hindu mythology, Mahishasura was a formidable demon who terrorized the gods. He received a boon from Lord Agni, according to which a woman would only kill him. Unable to defeat him, the gods created Goddess Durga, a symbol of ultimate feminine power. Durga fought Mahishasura for nine days and nights, ultimately slaying him on the tenth day, known as Vijayadashami or Dussehra. Sharad Navratri symbolizes the victory of good over evil, knowledge over ignorance, and light over darkness. It is the ultimate celebration of divine female energies.

Young girls all over India are worshipped as devotees who believe that the Devi resides in little girls.

Maa Durga is depicted in 9 various forms, each with its own significance and attributes, to defeat the shape-shifting demon: Mahishasura. During Navratri, these forms are celebrated on specific days, known as 'Navadurga.' Let's explore some of the most renowned forms:

Shailaputri: The first form of Durga, she is the daughter of the Himalayas and represents the purity and innocence of nature.

Brahmacharini: She symbolizes the pursuit of knowledge and is often depicted holding a rosary and a water pot.

Chandraghanta: This form represents bravery and courage, as she adorns a crescent moon-shaped ornament on her forehead.

Kushmanda: The creator of the universe, Kushmanda signifies the source of all energy and vitality.

Skandamata: As the mother of Lord Kartikeya, she stands for the power of a mother's love and protection.

Katyayani: This fierce form of Durga is worshiped for her ability to destroy evil forces and protect her devotees.

Kalratri: Depicting the dark side of life, she is a symbol of destruction and liberation from ignorance.

Mahagauri: This form represents purity and is often depicted in white attire, symbolizing peace and serenity.

Siddhidatri: The final form of Durga, Siddhidatri is believed to grant devotees spiritual powers and enlightenment.

Navratri is a spiritually enriching festival that honors the divine feminine. Whether it's the arrival of spring during Chaitra Navratri or the harvest season of Sharad Navratri, both celebrations remind us of the importance of faith, perseverance, and the victory of good over evil. The diverse forms of Maa Durga teach us valuable life lessons and inspire us to live virtuously.

Gujratis celebrate Navratri through vibrant Garba and Dandiya Raas dances, while in Bengal, this festival is celebrated as Durga Puja, which involves worshiping the goddess Durga with grand processions and cultural events. So, they celebrate Navratri, but how it's celebrated varies.

Why is festive season the right time to invest in property?

The festive season has always held a special place in the hearts of people across India. It’s a time of celebration, family gatherings, and new beginnings. In addition to these aspects, the festive season has become synonymous with investments, particularly in real estate. For those looking to buy property, especially in growing cities like Patna, the festive season presents a golden opportunity to take the leap. Whether you’re eyeing a 2BHK flat in Patna or exploring luxury flats in Patna, here are some compelling reasons why this is the ideal time to make a property investment.

1. Attractive Festive Discounts and Offers

During the festive season, developers across India, including those in Patna, provide lucrative offers to attract buyers. These can range from direct discounts, waivers on registration charges, free amenities, and sometimes even furnished apartments. In a competitive market, builders understand that buyers are looking for the best deal, which is why festive promotions often include substantial savings. This translates into a fantastic opportunity for buyers interested in 2BHK flats in Patna or luxurious, amenity-rich properties to capitalize on limited-time offers.

2. Increase in Loan Approvals and Low-Interest Rates

Festivals also mark a time when banks are more inclined to ease loan terms and offer reduced interest rates on home loans. Many financial institutions consider the festive season as a peak time for loans, and they make the process simpler and more attractive by offering lower interest rates, flexible EMIs, and even waivers on processing fees. For potential buyers of luxury flats in Patna, this provides a unique chance to secure financing under favorable conditions, potentially saving significantly over the life of a loan. Given the high demand for 2BHK flats in Patna, securing a property during this period with low-interest financing makes for a prudent financial decision.

3. Introduction of New Projects and Availability of Choices

The festive season is traditionally seen as an auspicious time for the launch of new projects. Developers often plan their launches around this period to cater to a high influx of potential buyers. This means buyers have access to a wider selection of properties. Whether you’re looking at luxury flats in Patna or budget-friendly options, the festive season increases the availability of choices, allowing you to compare various projects and select one that meets your lifestyle and investment goals. This broader selection ensures you don’t have to compromise on quality or budget, as you can explore a variety of configurations, such as 2BHK flats in Patna.

4. Higher Returns on Investment (ROI)

Investing in real estate during the festive season can be especially advantageous from a long-term perspective. Property values in India have traditionally appreciated over time, with the festive period often marking the beginning of new developments and trends in real estate. With the current urbanization and infrastructure development in Patna, properties are expected to experience a strong ROI. Investing in a property now, particularly in prime locations or premium luxury flats in Patna, allows you to benefit from future appreciation as the city continues to expand and modernize.

Many people prefer buying property during festivals like Diwali, Navratri, and Dussehra, as it’s believed that purchases made during these times bring good fortune and financial growth. When combined with the financial advantages, this sentiment further encourages people to buy their dream homes or invest in 2BHK flats in Patna. Builders and developers are aware of this mindset, which is why they go the extra mile in designing attractive offers, adding value to your investment and enhancing your buying experience.

6. Benefits of Moving into Ready-to-Move-In Flats

The festive season often brings an increased availability of ready-to-move-in properties. For those looking to avoid the waiting period associated with under-construction projects, opting for a ready-to-move-in 2BHK flat in Patna can be highly advantageous. These properties allow for immediate occupancy and come without the risk associated with delayed construction timelines. Additionally, buyers of luxury flats in Patna benefit from completed amenities and a property that’s already developed with no hidden costs. This is ideal for families looking to settle in their new homes as soon as possible.

7. Enhanced Resale Value and Rental Opportunities

The demand for high-quality housing in Patna is increasing rapidly as the city grows and more professionals and families move there.

[ad_1] Paromita Das GG News Bureau New Delhi, 24th October. Bharat’s festive season, particularly from Dussehra to Diwali, is not just a time of joyous celebrations, but also a significant driver of the nation’s economy. The grandeur of the festivals, the deep-rooted cultural traditions, and the inclusive nature of the celebrations create a synergy that pushes economic growth while fostering social harmony. Despite the obvious benefits, there are those who malign Hindu traditions, portraying them as regressive or anti-scientific. This article will explore how such smear campaigns are misguided, particularly focusing on the economic advantages of these festivals and how they align with Bharat’s soft power and economic strategy. The Smear Campaign Against Hindu Traditions Every year, as the festive season begins, we see the emergence of detractors who criticize Hindu traditions. They often accuse these celebrations of promoting superstitions, lacking scientific grounding, and serving no societal purpose. Critics, often driven by ignorance or ideological bias, claim that these festivals are mere remnants of a bygone era, detached from modernity. This smear campaign, however, is not only unjust but fails to recognize the cultural richness and economic importance of these traditions. Critics paint Bharatiya festivals as a source of environmental harm or as celebrations rooted in blind faith. However, these views largely stem from a superficial understanding of Bharatiya traditions. The reality is that Bharatiya festivals are deeply intertwined with natural cycles, community bonding, and economic activity. From a Marxist perspective, which views society as a superstructure based on its economic foundation, it is essential to recognize that these festivals generate demand and stimulate the economy in ways that far outweigh any perceived drawbacks. Economic Impact of Festivals The capitalist economy, which thrives on consumer demand, often sees its fortunes rise or fall based on societal trends. Festivals are an essential part of this cycle, particularly in Bharat, where they significantly impact retail, trade, and investment. The period from Dussehra to Diwali is marked by an unparalleled surge in consumer spending. Retailers, small and large alike, anticipate a boost during this time. Last year, Bharat’s retail trade during the festive season reached a staggering Rs 5 lakh crore, with expectations of surpassing that in 2024. Such figures underscore the vital role these festivals play in driving the economy forward. Moreover, Bharatiya festivals promote inclusivity in spending. Whether it’s the purchase of small, handcrafted items during Dussehra or larger purchases of gold and silver during Dhanteras, the range of consumption spans all economic classes. This diversity in consumer behavior means that everyone, from the humble street vendor to high-end retailers, benefits from the economic upliftment that these festivals bring. Boost to Retail and Trade Dussehra is celebrated with grand fairs and Ram Leela performances at the grassroots level, which support countless local businesses. Street vendors selling food, handicrafts, and toys, artisans creating festive decor, and small shop owners all benefit immensely. The surge in trade during these festivals is vital for their livelihoods. Likewise, Diwali, the festival of lights, is associated with the highest retail trade in Bharat. In 2023, the festival season alone saw retail sales touch Rs 3.75 lakh crore. Handicrafts, electronics, garments, and home decor all witness a sharp increase in demand during Diwali. Furthermore, Diwali’s association with the purchasing of gold and silver during Dhanteras boosts the jewelry market, making it one of the most lucrative times of the year for this industry. Last year, the retail trade on Dhanteras alone crossed Rs 33,000 crore, a clear indicator of its significance. A particularly interesting trend in recent years has been the growing preference for “Made in India” products.

The push for locally produced goods has not only strengthened domestic manufacturing but has also reduced dependency on imports, particularly from China. In 2023, the shift towards Bharatiya-made goods led to losses for Chinese manufacturers to the tune of Rs 1 lakh crore. This trend exemplifies how festivals can act as a catalyst for self-reliance and economic sovereignty. Festival as Soft Power The celebration of Bharatiya festivals extends far beyond the borders of Bharat. Diwali, for instance, is now a global celebration, observed in major capitals around the world, including the White House. The significance of this cultural export cannot be overstated. By embracing Bharatiya festivals, nations around the world recognize and respect Bharat’s cultural heritage. This acceptance bolsters Bharat’s soft power, allowing the country to project its values and traditions on the global stage. Bharatiya festivals serve as a cultural bridge, helping the Bharatiya diaspora connect with their roots while also introducing Bharatiya customs to other cultures. Through these celebrations, Bharat sends a message of inclusivity, peace, and prosperity, countering any claims of rigid traditionalism or intolerance. The Importance of Festivals as Economic Policy Drivers In addition to their cultural and economic significance, Bharatiya festivals also influence policy decisions. As demand peaks during the festive season, it encourages investors and policymakers to focus on market dynamics. The festivals stimulate various sectors of the economy, from agriculture to manufacturing and services, aligning with broader economic goals. Take, for example, the rise in investments in Gold Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs). During the 2023 festive season, gold investments surged significantly, driven by the traditional belief in purchasing gold as a symbol of prosperity. This is a testament to how festivals influence market behavior and can play a role in shaping financial policy. Moreover, the timing of these festivals coincides with the harvest season in many parts of Bharat, meaning that agricultural output increases, and farmers have more disposable income. This cyclical relationship between the festivals and agriculture further reinforces the holistic nature of Bharatiya celebrations, where cultural, economic, and social factors are interdependent. Conclusion: Festivals as Pillars of Economic Growth and Cultural Heritage The period from Dussehra to Diwali is much more than a time for celebration. It is a manifestation of Bharat’s rich cultural heritage, its economic vitality, and its global influence. These festivals, far from being regressive or outdated, are intricately woven into the fabric of Bharatiya society. They foster economic growth by driving demand, supporting local businesses, and attracting investments. At the same time, they serve as a potent tool of soft power, enhancing Bharat’s global standing. The detractors who criticize Hindu festivals fail to see the bigger picture. By focusing on isolated aspects, they ignore the role these festivals play in shaping Bharat’s economic landscape. As celebrations continue to grow in scale and importance, they contribute not only to the prosperity of the nation but also to the well-being of its citizens. In the end, rather than focusing on baseless criticisms, one should appreciate how Bharatiya festivals bridge the gap between tradition and modernity, contributing to the growth of the economy while preserving cultural heritage. Whether it’s through retail trade, investment growth, or the projection of soft power, these festivals are indispensable to Bharat’s journey forward.   The post Celebrating Prosperity: How Dussehra to Diwali Boosts Bharat’s Economy and Global Influence appeared first on Global Governance News- Asia's First Bilingual News portal for Global News and Updates.

[ad_1] Paromita Das GG News Bureau New Delhi, 24th October. Bharat’s festive season, particularly from Dussehra to Diwali, is not just a time of joyous celebrations, but also a significant driver of the nation’s economy. The grandeur of the festivals, the deep-rooted cultural traditions, and the inclusive nature of the celebrations create a synergy that pushes economic growth while fostering social harmony. Despite the obvious benefits, there are those who malign Hindu traditions, portraying them as regressive or anti-scientific. This article will explore how such smear campaigns are misguided, particularly focusing on the economic advantages of these festivals and how they align with Bharat’s soft power and economic strategy. The Smear Campaign Against Hindu Traditions Every year, as the festive season begins, we see the emergence of detractors who criticize Hindu traditions. They often accuse these celebrations of promoting superstitions, lacking scientific grounding, and serving no societal purpose. Critics, often driven by ignorance or ideological bias, claim that these festivals are mere remnants of a bygone era, detached from modernity. This smear campaign, however, is not only unjust but fails to recognize the cultural richness and economic importance of these traditions. Critics paint Bharatiya festivals as a source of environmental harm or as celebrations rooted in blind faith. However, these views largely stem from a superficial understanding of Bharatiya traditions. The reality is that Bharatiya festivals are deeply intertwined with natural cycles, community bonding, and economic activity. From a Marxist perspective, which views society as a superstructure based on its economic foundation, it is essential to recognize that these festivals generate demand and stimulate the economy in ways that far outweigh any perceived drawbacks.

Arranged Blind Date

I met this guy yesterday, his name was Rohit. I didn't know that when I went to meet him. I didn't know anything about him, it was almost like a blind date but the only difference was that both our families were with us. I was looking pretty for the first time in a long time, I knew that I was looking pretty and I was so confident, I wasn't trying to impress anyone, I wasn't trying to put on a face or do anything that wasn't me. I wouldn't have been disappointed if the guy didn't show up, it wouldn't have bothered me if I didn't like him. It was my day off, last day of Dussehra, I was wearing my new dress, my hair was perfect, my no makeup look was perfect and for once I was ready on time.

They left us alone to talk for a while, it was clear from the beginning that he was the kind of person who takes charge of any situation. I honestly don't remember what we spoke about. This time I had prepared notes, questions to ask him. What I was not prepared for were answers, it's never happened before that the guy had questions to ask. It never occurred to me that the questions I had asked him, he could ask me as well. I was tongue tied for the most part, and did not know what to say. Why is it that only in such situations my mouth and brain does not cooperate? He was not particularly good looking either, he was average, not even like a TV serial lead level handsome. He was okay to look at but it was still pleasant to look at him. I don't mean that I look like a movie heroine, I am just thankful my face hadn't swelled up or that 10 new pimples hadn't popped up. All I remember him saying is about his cats, his travel, music, friends and how he wants to live with his family after marriage. I asked him why he wanted to get married and I don't remember what he said, I remember thinking that what he said wasn't really the answer but for the life of me I don't remember what he said. It was an important question that I asked, the answer to which would have helped me understand more about him and helped me say yes or no and I forgot what he said. I remember every little detail of everything else except that part. I really don't understand why. He likes techno music, that I remember. 

Now here I am sitting and writing about this guy, whom I apparently liked. Yes, I don't know why but after talking to him I felt like we had the same vibe, same thought processes and it seemed that he was very clear about what he wanted. 

I also felt that he was kind of arrogant, no, maybe not arrogant but he had this air of attitude around, sort of an uninterest, I don't know what it is but it was rather off putting but kind of attractive at the same time. The word that came to my mind that time was moody but that wasn't it. After our chat we went back to both the families but we were still seated in front of each other and he nary once looked at my face, he was busy on his phone, it genuinely felt he just wanted to get over with this charade that his parents had dragged him to. I don't think he liked me very much, just the way he was sitting, it was like locking up a guy who loved playing video games in a library and forcing him to read a book. I did not know what to make of him but I think I am 80% sure he did not like me, even as I write this for some reason I want him to say "yes"

I don't know what for, I don't know if I really want to give it a chance or if I just want to do it for the sake of getting married. He is a great prospect, owns a house, and has 2 sisters(I have always wanted siblings, although they are way older than me), loves pets and has pets. Perfect living arrangement. Compatibility, love are things that did not even cross my mind.

if he says "yes" I will meet him again but will I say "yes"? I think I want him to say yes just so that I can meet once more and understand what his problem was,  and then will I say "no"? It annoys me that I have to sit here and write all this waiting for his Highness to reply "yes" or "no"

All of this brain  and time spent while I actually have to be asleep, everything going to waste if he says no. What a world to live in.
