If marriage with candles and a man's statue gives happiness to them, so be it. It is a choice that one can make and follow. They can as well as get married in a Registrar's office isn't it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9939966.post-1165323453228512062006-12-05T18:27:00.000+05:302006-12-05T18:27:00.000+05:30urr..hmmm, three times a day then? sigh! ...why do...urr..hmmm, three times a day then? sigh! ...why does it always end with me feeling burnt and smelly :(Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9939966.post-1165310124071072272006-12-05T14:45:00.000+05:302006-12-05T14:45:00.000+05:30annie:No probs at all- with writing on women.
