No more love at first sight

Nala, prince and Damayanthi, princess

Did not fall in love for each other

At first sight and rather without seeing

Each other, they built up love to seek hand,

Thanks to the divine swan, who made it work.

She told Damayanthi the best version

Of Nala and made her move towards him.

 Then she told Nala the best version

Of Damayanthi and made him love her.

Match makers do now what the swan did then.

They connect the pair and see that they love.

And promote arranged love for marriages.

No more love at first sight in the offing.

No spontaneity in love is envisaged.

Seeing the product advertisement,

Man and woman make decision of love.

‘Romeo and Juliet’  is read to compensate.
