Monroe effects: Some Divorce to Escape, Some Divorce for Reconciliation - Part 1
Saturday, January 7th, 2012
So much has been written and so much has been read about Marilyn Monroe that it has created a mystery of sorts, plus the men in her life have always wanted to control her so as to stall her success by being abusive in more than one way. One wonders whether it was jealousness of the male order that couldn’t digest a woman’s spectacular success or was it a plot by some feminist groups themselves who were at the risk of loosing the attention they used to enjoy as the full quota of media attention was just going to these Hollywood beauties. Such was the case of Marilyn Monroe who was being subjected to all the negative circus of life so much so that Dr. Greenson in whom Marilyn confided, had to isolate Marilyn from friends, colleagues and staff and what he had called “bad influences.
Love life of Merilyn Monroe with Joe DiMaggio
Dr. Greenson reasoned by isolating Marilyn from all her friends and saying “this is the kind of planning you do with an adolescent girl who needs guidance, friendliness and firmness, and she seems to be taking it very well. Of course, she doesn’t think about canceling several hours to go to Palm Springs to be with Mr. Frank Sinatra”.
Well…Frank as she called him was one of the three men with whom she was in a relationship at various points in her life.
But her first love was Joe DiMaggio who was a base ball player and was the best as Marilyn once said “I don’t know if I’m in love with him yet, but I know I like him more than any man I’ve ever met.”
Marilyn’s personality did contrast with Joe’s, as Joe came from a Catholic background with strict joint-family values which was all about strong Sicilian ethics and heritage. Whereas Marilyn came from a broken parental relationship, and had spent her child hood with foster parents.
As for Marilyn Monroe she was not just a celebrity but had become a brand in her own right and her branding had all the flavors of the generation she belonged to . As the sixties was the beginning of the romantic era which was detoxifying the residual effects of World War-II happening in Korea supported by Russia on the one hand and United states on the other, plus along with America, Russia too was enjoying it’s share of Soviet communist success as later on it earned the reputation of being the first country to dominate the Space Age. So both Russia and America were closely watching each other and as superpowers both were proving to the rest of the world about each one’s superiority and might. But America had a better score in terms of democracy and more freedom specially concerning women, so America for the world was a melting pot of happening things in those days, Unlike today’s America which is a struggling capitalist society reeling under the weight of recession and heavy debt .
Coming back to Joe, in July 1952, Joe made Marilyn meet his family in San Francisco. At once Marilyn clearly realized why Joe wanted her ‘HIS WOULD BE WIFE’ to be domestic - AS IN RAISING CHILDREN, COOKING ETC, and it had always been that way in Joe’s family being a catholic one. But all the same on January 14, 1954 the couple got married.
Some of Joe’s close friends who knew Joe too well felt that it wasn’t just the career aspect of Marilyn as an actress. But the media attention she got, was over shadowing him from the public attentio Joe had previously enjoyed. People soon saw and sensed that when they both walked into a room, it wasn’t Joe who was in the limelight in fact his presence at times was completely ignored. Obviously being a star baseball player of the country Joe was used to being the center of attention. But now Marilyn was getting all the attention and Joe couldn’t deal with that. Moreover coming from a strict Catholic household, it was certain that Joe got acutely enraged by watching the sensual and historical stunt of air blowing his wife’s dress over her head which became the sexy, skirt-flying shot for the movie “Seven Year Itch” and that scene of the film gave Marilyn the universal brand appeal that defines her even today. So Joe finally wanted to pull out and the couple got divorced by October 1954 just a few months after their formal marriage.

This is Where it Ends Baby !!
Sunday, January 1st, 2012
High octane couple Russell Brand and Katy Perry finally called it off. Personally I am not surprised but for many of you who are surprised by this news need to know that for all this while Russell was in the process of recovery from his addictive state, it was all falling heavily on Katy the one person in his “life”. Thereafter, before she could do anything about it, the emotional stress lead to a negative chain reaction. Slowly cracks in the relationship started appearing one after the other which was affecting the non-personal areas of the couple. Well, no wonder they didn’t last. What kind of a persona can live up to that?
Russell Brand and Katy Perry Called It Off
What is very heart-touching is that theirs was a marriage which happened as per traditional Hindu ceremony, at a place near to “Ranthambhore tiger sanctuary” in Rajasthan western India, the same location where Brand proposed Katy. Now, as per popular opinion getting married in a very traditional and anti-divorce country like India should have given the couple a better “marriage mileage” at least a lot more than other Hollywood celebrities.
On the contrary for Russell it was pure psychology that rode above cultural and ritualistic sentiments, no wonder Brand succumbed to the ways of the heart which he did what had to be done. So Brand filed for divorce from Katy in Los Angeles, citing irreconcilable differences.
As for Katy her religious roots and cultural sentiments did matter, at least to the extent it did not allow her to initiate the divorce proceedings, due to her evangelical Christian background and her family’s belief that divorce is wrong, so our man Russell rose to the occasion and detonated the time bomb called divorce .
Detonation is a triggered event so what are those trigger points which can blow up a marriage is what evolutionary psychologist and pundits of “Darwin theory” are still trying to figure out.
“Divorce trigger point management” or in short DTPM is what Modern Society should be learning and improving upon because in human couples separation of the pair is true but is not normally desired so it is not valid. Therefore it needs to be legally sanctioned, but in animals it is both true and valid since it is sanctioned by the “laws of natural selection”.
All I can say is that I wish Charles Darwin was alive today and guess where his office would be….of course it would be in the Divorce Capital of the world …still guessing ..it is Hollywood of course!

It’s Love-all.. score for David Beckham and Victoria Adams!!
Sunday, January 1st, 2012
Whoever said “Football is like a fertility carnival Eleven sperm trying to get into the egg, so I feel sorry for the goalkeeper” has a wrong perception about the goal keeper in a man’s life .
So what is it with football and marriage, one did say both involve balls …well jokes apart but on a serious note there is more to what happens off the field than what happens on the field and the one football player who bends it right is David Beckham who finally scored a perfect goal with his beloved goalkeeper and ‘to be wife’ Victoria and the score is only growing with the passing of time.
Love Live of David Beckham and Victory Adams
The couple started dating in 1997 by initiating low-profile dates – going out, casual shopping, dining out etc, until one day David knelt on one knee and proposed to Victoria. One interesting piece of their pre-nuptial event is that the couple preferred not to cut their engagement cake but, Instead they donated the cake to a charity event for a Community Primary School in Cheshire. The cake was “a replica of the foyer with Victoria sitting at the top and David sitting behind her .
So finally the day America celebrates it’s independence day was the very day in 1999 the couple got married at the 560-acre estate of the 1794, gothic Luttrellstown Castle. But this time their wedding cake which was topped with a nude sculpture of the newlyweds was indeed cut and distributed among the guests and speaking of guests. their wedding invitees included David and Debbie Seamon, the Spice Girls, and Sir Bobby Charlton who were one of the 230 or so invitees in the list.
If there is any couple who swears by tattoos then it ought to be David and Victoria, I mean the tattoos are so much reflective of their marriage and family life. So when asked about his tattoos Beckam says “Mine are all about the people in my life, my wife and sons, whom I want to have with me always. When you see me, you see the tattoos. You see an expression of how I feel about Victoria and the boys. They’re part of me.”-Source: Beckham: Both Feet on the Ground, page 284.
Thus parenthood also seems to be smooth sailing for the couple as for Victoria a mother of 4 this what she had to say “I know I would sacrifice anything for my boys (David and sons), including my career, even though I also know that they would never ask me to.” Source: Victoria Beckham. Learning to Fly: The Autobiography. 2005. pg. 516.
One wonders if this is a fairytale of two people falling in love and raising a family and more importantly staying together irrespective of the circumstances which life has in store. Now my point is if they can do it ..then why don’t other celebrity couples live life like them … can any body bend it like Beckham…!

Romantics: A Blend of Romance and Politics
Thursday, December 29th, 2011
If two people of the opposite gender fall in love then it amounts to the usual vanilla equation as part of gender dynamics , but what if two personalities fall in love embodying with them two separate cultures from two completely different places.
Jawaharlal Nehru and Edwina Mountbatten
That’s exactly what happened with Jawaharlal Nehru who was the first prime minister of India and Edwina Mountbatten who was the wife of India’s last Viceroy- Lord Mountbatten. Initially their relationship had this typical algebraic pattern called “ more as friends and less as lovers” Over a period of time their love mathematics stood the test of time till death did one of them apart as lady Edwina passed away in 1960.The testimony of their fondness and bonding was proved when Nehru’s letters were found all over her(lady Edwina’s) death bed, and equally proving Nehru’s love for the lady was the fact that Nehru paid tribute to the departed soul of his beloved by sending a naval ship all the way from India to offer marigolds to the ocean waters touching the English Channel where she was put to rest.
After all these years, the relationship between Nehru and lady Mountbatten finds an odd mention in the media to the extent that the very “congress party” which was once upon a time pioneered by Nehru and team recently had asked the producers of a film based on the above romantic relationship between Nehru and lady Edwina Mountbatten to rewrite certain depictions in the movie for it to pass censorship. It is just not only the romance between India’s first prime minister and the wife of the man responsible for breaking apart and causing the Partition of India. But it is about the nature of camaraderie that they shared. A lot many of Nehru’s letters to Edwina after she left India, sought her advice on matters of geo-strategic issues and concerns of the state and the sub-continent. It is said that it was because of this extramarital affair between Nehru and lady Mountbatten that Punjab and Bengal were partitioned and Kashmir illegally annexed by Delhi.
Although the relationship has been off late speculated by close associates of Nehru and Edwina, as being more than platonic and the narrations in the book “Indian Summer: The Secret History of the End of an Empire” written by the historian Alex von Tunzelmann highlights the point that the relationship also had a physical angle to the entire romantic episode between Nehru and lady Edwina Mountbatten, which invariably has been justified by the French author and Social thinker Catherine Clement, who has written a novel on the romance titled ‘Edwina and Nehru’ published in 1993.
The author had said Edwina had confessed that her relationship with Nehru was “mostly platonic so why are people so misinformed? Both (Edwina and Nehru) were past their middle age and as adults they had a relationship that bears testimonial to the letters and eyewitness accounts. I have myself interacted with close aides of Nehru,” she said, adding that they knew intimate details of Nehru’s life as a prime minister. More over during the time her book was launched, Catherine said she has had a hearty discussion with the Congress president Sonia Gandhi and had given her a copy. When asked if the script had got Sonia’s nod, Clement said, “She (Sonia) said it was al-right to be published and did not display any shocking concerns.
Sadly in today’s modern times if a love affair had to happen with such leading personalities then it would simply be termed as a scandal or better still would amount to power-play romance, inviting media attention as every tabloid or TV news channel would be spinning various versions of the affair in order to create a media hype. I am sure whatever happened between Monica Lewinski and Bill Clinton could have been handled more gracefully but today’s media does not pardon people falling in love or being in a relationship as it did a few generations back .
Today people hardly have the freedom to fall in love and no wonder couples these days have started to isolate their romantic life which again is not fulfilling or satisfying to the heart but may surely fill the pockets of many.
