Life goes a full circle....and until then emotions are out of fashion and LIRs are the in-thing.

ideasmith: hmm, possible, but maybe that will take some more time...

prero: hmm, i think i understand.. but isnt this a much more basic thing as opposed to all the items in list A1 which could change with economics??

manu, its still as much an exception as it was. i think with the economic structure of india changing more and more people are moving from section A, associated with things and lifestyles A1 to section B, associated with things and lifestyles B2 - u know what I mean? i dont know if i could explain it properly

The live-in relationship may not result in a new generation to pass the gene onto. Having a baby together is a tremendously huge desicion that ties the two people irrevocably....which is what the movie also explores.

is living in without emotional strings? or is it the other way round - marriage can often be without emotional strings but many practical, financial, societal ones ... but surely living in has to have emotional strings? i'm not advocating living in over marriage - that's a personal choice - but just wondering whether one is really more of a guarantee of love and companionship than the other - or is it just a guarantee of permanance?

phatichar: agree, cant say..

parna: but maybe that 'pressure' isnt a bad thing..

gabby: possible, yes, and great if it happens that way all the time..

NHB: hmm, yes, my point only being from an emotions standpoint..

prero: the first part, perhaps true, like friends, for example.. u think you ould die without them, and then you drift apart..
the second part, what i am trying to say is, its trying to become anorm rather than the exception..

its a one to one case. like Gabby said some live in and spend decades with each other. its not necessarily a no-strings-attached thing. true, it does take the pressure off the 'forever' bit, but once you get through the initial teething problems (which even a marriage has) is it any different than a marriage? but then again, it is really a one to one case

Thought provoking. Yeah, LIR, like the other 'snap-yer-fingers' kinda arrangements of today, seems to be picking up. But like you said, can there be a substitute for love and emotions? Can't say...

Nice post!

Hmmm.. in some states in the US, if you have been living together for more than 10 years .. you can get the same rights under the law as a spouse .. :)
But as prerona said .. there will always be rebels and thats the only way the society can be dynamic!

It's a choice. For some it matters, for some it really does not. They don't care...at all. I've seen couples live in perfect harmony for decades without a marriage cert.

Having said that, live in relationships are not something that a now thing, when we moved into our flat, when i was 1 year old, there was a couple living there. Wont tell who it was. I've seen hajaar janta doing it when we were in college in Pune. And when mom was doing her M.S. there was a friend of hers who was living in ... ofcourse she is married now and ofcourse, that was the states. but point i'm trying to make is whatever, whenever, there will be a good number of people who will live outside societies rules and models which makes a safecircle, the central, the average

Manu, ur right. We are drifting away from a lot of things, a way of life, a way of being, that we are leaving intentionally, knowing what we are doing (though there are some who might say even here they know not what they do) but down the line, when these things have been left well behind and theres no going back to them, then who knows who will miss them and how much ...
