"30%", said I. "0% chance", claimed 3 out of 8 people. "20%", claimed a couple. "15%", said one and "50%", said another.
The 8 of us were returning by BART(Bay Area Rapid Transit) train from San Francisco downtown after watching the fireworks there at the stroke of midnight on New Year's Day. PK started this idle discussion by asking, "What % chance do u guys give yourself for love marriage?".
It can be safely assumed that all 8 of us are single as of now and in all probabilities have never had a gf. Our ages span between 24 and 26 years.
My reasoning for saying 30% is the strong belief i have in love marriage. I said that marriage comes first, love marriage next and arranged marriage third :P. Two of the three people who said 0% were convinced and convincing that if nothing happened for 25 odd years, nothing was going to happen in the future! The third, PK, was against getting love married for whatever reasons. J, who gave himself a 20% chance did so because he was planning to get back to school for MBA in the future, and SSB gave the same reasoning for his 15%. SMS, who gave himself a 20% chance did so considering all possible outside chances he might be having in the future.
The 0%-ers were convincing in saying that it was near impossible for me to meet a "single" girl, who'd be to my liking, with whom i'd be able to spend considerable time to fall in love, once i start working. Thus, they concluded that if i were to get love married, then i'll have to meet the girl through orkut or blogspot- in essence, it'd be a long distance relationship.
Tonnes of pessimistic thoughts were floating in the air and i was beginning to feel let down when BG said that he had a 50% chance. We were surprised to hear that from him. He said, "When i am not sure whether it'd be a love or arranged marriage, the % chance has to be 50"...and the 7 of us couldnt stop laughing for quite some time...

I was one of those 0% buggers till sometime back. But looking at a few of my close friends, a couple of them I could have bet on that they were classic cases for arranged marriage, now in love, I have started having doubts.
Nothing can be said for sure in these matters I suppose.
All the best. ;) And a happy new year.
