Kohl eyed tears' dilemma

A traditional South Indian bride's dilemma... The anticipation of the future in an arranged marriage.... Marrying a person you hardly know with blind faith that does most of the times lead to a happy life surprisingly. Yet, the whole concept is so very freaky and unsettling. The horoscopes decide the compatibility and you enter the sacred bond with just a hope that everything turns out for the best!

Jasmine flowers form a very important part in every South Indian marriage to enhance the beauty of the bride and also to greet the lady guests with during the marriage.

Revelation kills smugness

Peace, hunter's new chase

When a person has been in darkness for a very long time, even the slightest hint of light can shake their whole belief system. It might either put them in stubborn denial or may show them a path towards light, which will release them from the cage they have built for themselves!
