CRAP announces ground-breaking research in sociology history
From our special correspondent
Blogspace, 7th Dec, 2009: Last night, CRAP (Chabs' Research And Publications), the world famous research organization, announced their latest research undertaking about the pros and cons of long-term relationships. They called it "Love Marriage vs Arrange Marriage vs Live-in? The final showdown". Their research will aim to examine the various intricacies of both forms of marriages and their substitute - Live-in relationship. A spokesperson from CRAP said, "Human beings are social needy animals and so, they have society and needs, and hence, social needs. We aim to give some conclusive answers to one of society's social needs - the long term male-female relationship in the form of marriages and live-in relationships, and the never ending debate of which is best. Our bright MBA lads and ladies will undertake a scientific approach supported by numerous research studies to arrive at a conclusive answer, or at least, provide a breakthrough for more advanced studies."
Teenagers, youngsters , and other unmarried youths are generally looking forward to the result of the research. Sneha Sharma, a dewy-eyed 19 year old student, with a Mills&Boons tucked amongst her Physics, and Chemistry books said, "Finally something is being done about it. My parents are pressurizing me that I get married to this 32 years old old-man. So what if he's the Vice-President of some arbit consumer goods company? If I don't love him, why should I marry him? Now, with CRAP's finding, I can finally give a definitive argument." When we pointed out that CRAP has not published its findings yet and that it can swing anyway, she was nonchalant and replied, "I've always believed in love and love triumphs over everything. Just read Nicholas Sparks to believe me. I already know the answer." When we asked her whether she has someone she loves, she gave us "the look" and walked away without answering.
However, not everyone is happy with the result. In fact the research is met with more opponents and proponents. A much sentimental Retd. Brigadier S.K. Sinha said, "What is the world coming to? Youngsters have no respect for their elders. After all the things we did for our children and all the hardships we faced bringing them up, they run away and get married to some chit of a guy (or a girl). My youngest daughter married against our wish. So what if he's the Vice-President of some arbit consumer goods company? He's from a different state with different culture, language, and skin color. With all the differences, it's a wonder they are even able to communicate. And their children. I shudder to think whether they'll come out with black and white patches. And this crappy research from a company called CRAP will be the final nail to the disintegrating coffin of our society."
Many of the country's top matrimonial sites are also heard to be lobbying against the research by CRAP. An executive from a top matrimonial sites, who wishes to remain anonymous, said, "There's a lot of apprehension regarding this news. If the findings turn out to be against arrange marriage, we might be put out of business or worse, we might have to compete with adultfriendfinder.com. Naturally, the top management is pulling all kinds of strings to shelve the research or at least, get a result more favourable to the future of our company." This interesting piece of revelation has put doubts about the authenticity of the finding even before the research was undertaken. We couldn't reach any CRAP executive for their comments at the time of publication.
