AN AMERICAN AND HIS BRIDE TO BE by BINOD SINHA (good short books txt) 📕

INTRODUCTION

A change of hearts is a prerogative of an individual. It is by an individual and for the individual.


Jim and I belonged to two vibrantly diverse cultures and faith. It was our conscious decision to accept the new situation of life with full determination and respect for each other’s feelings and understanding. We were very sure that our firm faith in each other would take us through the rest of our life.
However, for my parents it was not the same. For them to accept our marriage alliance amounted to compromising the tradition, their principle and conviction. I did not want that to happen. I did not want that either my parents or we should live a life with guilt or remorse feelings. I wanted my parents to come with terms with the new changed situation by themselves. I wanted things to happen gracefully. I also knew this will take time. I had patience and so also Jim. We decided to wait.
