Marriages are made in heaven!!

I distinctly remember a case of my colleague in Davanagere whose mother and sister were treated by me for 2-3 episodes of manic excitement. After discussion and literature search he decided about marriage only in a family who had no mental illnesses! Checking of family while selecting the girl thoroughly led to not accepting more than 30
proposals. Having left Davanagere and having moved to Mysuru, I could not attend to his marriage when held. Three months later, he landed at Mysuru early morning cursing me all the way for cheating him. Discussion made me to realize that the girl he ultimately married after thorough family search was indeed treated by me earlier for depression! This is a classic example of man proposing and God disposing in his own way. In marriage lot depends on luck and only solution is to work for the success of it. Anyway, it was a great learning experience for me.
