sankara,

i agree with you. personally i think, thaali has more emotions thrown into it, due to the way this particular function is looked upon in our community. the ketti melam, the flowers (new thing), atchadhai (ex old thing no longer in vogue), pin thaali mudicchal, the bend headed bride, and the crouching groom, all together, a perfect emotional sauce, enough to shed tears even from the most stubborn crocodile?

infact, the joke is, that once thaali is tied, we consider the marriage complete and head towards the lunch hall, little knowing, that the essence of sapthapathi is yet to follow.

personally i do not believe in it. this i told my wife the very night and left it entirely upto her. she is a loving lady, and in this, she behaves as per the needs of the occassion.

over 30 years, she too has come to realize, that talking heads will talk nonsense, irrespective of absence of logic or reason. let them do so, but each one, to his own conscience.
