This is my first post as Mrs.Debdatta Dasgupta Sahay and this is going to be a story about how a Bengali family from Kolkata,West Bengal and a Bihari family from Bhagalpur, Bihar came to be associated together. Amazingly enough, the story begins neither in Kolkata nor in Bhagalpur. The story begins when I, Debdatta Dasgupta, met ‘Nishant Sahay’ at St.Joseph’s College, North Point,... read more

Hopelessly Optimistic…

When I decided to join Marriage Book, the first thought that came to my mind was if it is open only to married people. I thought I’d confirm it with Pramodji. Then I brushed aside the thought because ‘marriage’ is one topic that anyone can write about- married, unmarried, committed, never committed, non-committal and the list goes on. So how could I be left behind? I currently belong to the... read more

It happened just today. Two worried fathers had come to my shop and were talking among themselves. I overheard them and found it related to marriage, so instantly I set off to write , lest I forget something they said. Prudent one began :” No father of a girl turns up in this village, looking for a match for their girl, All head off straight to the Metro’s.” The more Prudent One :... read more

Wedding Invitation

While flipping through my older mails, I just came across my wedding invitation and found it worth to share with you all. So here it is… I had tried to be as creative as possible (after all it was my first marriage LOL) and the result was not bad:).  Invitation Bachelors should be heavily taxed.

Marriages happen in heaven…

After all fourteen years is not a small period; and breaking-up from a serious love affair after this duration seriously leaves you tore into pieces. I used to spend my entire day and night crying and cursing my fate; hoping I could go back in time and change the entire thing. But it was not to happen. My childhood love had suddenly left me without any explanation and chose to spend her life with someone... read more

A Train Ticket to Love :) :)

“Where are you going?” and Other Difficult Questions

“Where are you going?”, asked my wife. To Hell, I thought to myself. “Out”, I said. I had just gotten up off the bed and was walking toward the door. I had my arm extended towards the door handle when she asked me the question. It was around 11PM at night. I hate being asked where I am going. Even as a teenager I would be very annoyed with my parents if they ever asked me what my... read more

Who loses the most?

I and my wife always have this argument as to who loses the most in the marriage; in the terms who faces most changes in their lives. Obviously, she always argues that the females always lose the most and compared to them; the guys do not face any changes at all. Naturally, I take the guy’s sides with my arguments. Somethings that she mentions are: Change of home, friends, lifestyle At times need to... read more
