What do you do when things turn out to be starkly different from what you expected them to be? You change. But what if the ones you cherish do not want you to change? You are forced to make a choice between yourself and them. Some feel the constant company of people ensures protection, especially for the fairer sex. And they may be right, especially in this country where lone females are preyed upon specifically. But people give two shits about saving you if you are in danger, unless they are your near and dear ones. Then comes the concept of marriage - not for love, but for protection from society and its evils. This type of protection could cost you everything else - but at least you are safe, even if you are unhappy in your marriage, or didn't even get a chance to fall in love...It's taboo here, love. People crave for stability here. They do not want to explore, and those who do, pay for it.
