They say marriages are made in heaven… Is it? The concept of merger between two souls is definitely most widely accepted in every society. Marriages actually work just in the similar manner a merger works – eligible partners are selected, a consideration of a lifetime is set (nothing financial, all emotional), the two parties agree to it and the shareholders (family members, friends and relatives) usher their consent (through blessings). The deal is ultimately finalized with one more financial management concept – higher the risk, higher the return! All these risks are high in case of an arranged marriage (leave aside the love factor, for now!) – leading to only another statistical concept – it’s all a probability!
Deal is closed – success or failure of the merger would only be known in the days to come. Allowing hope to remain with us, heaven-made mergers (oops! marriages) can only bring eternal bliss. Or was there something planned on the contrary? All faults of those who haven’t read the rule book of merger and as a result, disclaimers have only piled up to bring solace.
No, be it anything but marriages are neither a financial methodology nor a valuation (de-success of which can allow it to be called off). It takes understanding, maturity, focus, strength of character, proper implementation of plans, third-party smiles and a forgiving attitude to build up a successful marriage! No hard and fast steps for a successful marriage – these are just the broad outlines that knocked my brains (though I am unmarried). Do let me know the traits, that you think, would act as catalysts for a merger (marriage) success! Only one conclusion, they should now at least say, mergers are heaven-made! Don’t blame Tata or Corus for that matter – they probably hadn’t read the rule book properly or hadn’t come across the blissful touch from heaven…
