arranged marriage
Mira Nair talks about her new movie, The Namesake, on Fresh Air. Early in the interview, she hits on what I’ve always admired about successful arranged marriages:
It’s an exquisite love story of an adult romance…of people I know of from my parents’ generation… who are content to be still…who don’t need roses and diamonds and hallmark cards and ‘I love yous’ and proclamations and public displays of love.
It is more about how (they) look at each other over a cup of tea…kind of a stillness and contentment between the two, which is in such stark contrast to…all our lives today, our multi-tasking sort of lives.
