The closely knit social system creates tremendous pressure on the family members to adhere to the norms of the society and family. The house, business and property are all shared by the family members and passed on the son who is the heir. Status and respect in society is bigger than the individual person in India. Respect and face cannot be lost by going against the social norm. The girl is brought up in a manner where she is taught that the husband that the elders find for her is the right match and she has to live with him till her death no matter what. The girl cannot even think of having a relationship with any other man. Same applies to the guys, he cannot think of a relationship without the consent of the elders in the family as he may be thrown out of the family without a penny in his name.

The Indian society is changing but not so rapidly. The culture and values are so strongly imbibed in the brains that it will take a lot many generations for this to change.

The art of living is the culture there. India has multiple religions and religious beliefs. Most of the families live here as a joint family. There is a hierarchy that is strictly followed in all societies. Family values are very important. India is a patriarchal society where parents or the elders in the house decide who their child should marry. This aspect is drilled into the brain right from childhood that parents will choose their life partner as they are the best judge of what is best for the child. Yes, an adult in India remains a child and the parents keeps monitoring the daughter’s life till she gets married (after which her husband does) and the son’s life till they are alive. Marriages are thought to be for a life time and divorce is looked down upon. It is a social stigma which gets a bad name for the family and ill-repute to the girl who is always blamed for a broken marriage as she is the one who has the courage to walk out of the relationship.

Arranged marriage is a tradition in India though love marriages have become quite common in metros cities. There seems to be a slight change in attitude in bigger cities but not in the smaller cities as yet. A long distance relationship just does not fit into the psyche of the Indians. You fall in love with the one you marry. There is love after marriage and not love before marriage. This is one of the major psychological barriers which make it difficult to develop a long distance relationship with an Indian.

Once a little boy asked his mother why she was crying, the mother replied “because I am a woman”. The boy did not understand so asked his dad who said “all women just cry for no reason”. The boy grew up but still wondered why women cry. So he called up God and asked him as to why women cry so easily. God told him that he made the woman to be special. He gave her shoulders strong enough to carry the burden yet gentle to give comfort. He gave her strength to endure the pain of childbirth and rejection caused by her child. He made her strong enough to keep going when everybody else gives up in sickness and pain even if her child or husband hurt her badly. Finally God said that He exclusively gave the woman tears to shed whenever she needed to use it. Look into the woman’s eyes and you will see the heart where love resides.

Media has always been the best way to project a celebrity. Good or bad publicity keeps the celebrity in the news. This task is now a specialized task where all the celebrities have created a special job for a personal reporter and journalist. The pressure to be in news is so great that a person is appointed especially to handle the media and keep afloat news of the celebrity. This has given prominence and major media attention direct to the reporter himself.

Ask Celebrity to go out - Best read for Reporters

The reporters constantly maintain a public profile of that celebrity which has led to them being identified with that celebrity and they themselves become celebrities in a way. Celebrities exhibit a glamorous lifestyle loaded with pomp and show. Being in such close proximity with the celebrity there are chances of either of them being swept of the feet or ‘losing heart’.

According to social psychologist Zick Rubin, love is characterized by attachment, caring and intimacy. The star and the reporter share a lot of time together, probably much more time that they spend with their own families or friends and the three characters of love are bound to develop. Though each person can feel the chemistry working it is a matter of ethical conflict to ask each other out or to express the emotion which is basically a deviation from being professional.

As reporters, one is very unsure of how to ask the celebrity out. Add some wit to your conversation and body language plays a very important role in any relationship. You as a reporter can understand the stress and pressure the celebrity goes through and you are the trash can for him/her to offload the pressures. The celebrity does have affection for you which is basically an attachment. A slightly free day is the right time to ask him/her to go out with you. Put it in a humorous manner like asking him/her with a smile of course “how about me being the envy of people when they publically a well dressed me with you today evening?” or “how about making more news when we are spotted together at the restaurant?”

The media and entertainment industry has merged to grow hand in hand. Manufacturing of celebrity as a brand is the responsibility of the media reporter. The reporter is awed by the person whom he/she has made into a celebrity. Enjoying an evening out will work as an incentive to work harder to up the image of the celebrity. So reporters understand the psychology and feel free to ask the celebrity out when you feel like living out your fantasy.
