There is a perception that co-education promotes love birds. Some old ladies are of the view that ‘ye laRkiyan paRhne nahin jati, bur (husband) dhoondne jati hain’.
Whats your view on this considering the image of certain education institutes which are famous as marriage bureaus.
haN, isii liye to maiN chhoTii classes meN nahiiN gayaa…seeedhaa grade 10 meN gayaa thaa…vahaN to aisii aisii thiiN k bas poochheN hii mat…koyal se le kar tootii tak!
But there always remain a probability of this element. Thats why we still have separate ladies colleges to deal with the parents who are not comfortable to send their girls in co-education institutes.
we cannot generalise but we have atleast 22 ‘pairs’ in our class who got married right after med. school I remember aik ‘jora’ who used to say we are ‘bhai behn’ (moonh bolay walay) and they had this fixed spot for their meetings where someone once put up a poster that said:
kon kehta hai ishq may pakray jayengay
waqt aanay per behn bhai bun jayengay
