The Itch To Ditch Poem by Aniruddha Pathak

Itch to ditch moving in reverse gears,
Each of which getting ripe in two years,
And if conjugal song
Gets short, two years' too long,
And party gets over soon as cheers!

The law makers in Mexico are toying with the idea of passing a controversial legislation that puts a two-year expiry date on marriages. How should we in India react? In metros like Mumbai two out of five marriages fail, contract marriages are not unknown, and the institution of marriage is perhaps crumbling fast; ‘till death do us part' seems like anachronism as live-in relationships are becoming norms. But who am I to sit in judgment of what others do? For now, does this Limerick reflect my envy?
