I had my ID created on all matrimonial sites.... Some I had known and some I had never ever heard of. Thanks to my internet savvy brother and my full of zip mom who had made a mental deadline for pushing me off the house permanently within a year's time.....
Earlier the entire cycle of finding the right match worked completely based on the efforts of some "GHOTOK" (middle man) or relatives/ friends. But in today's time when everybody swears by "WWW".............. sites like SHAADI.COM, BHARATMATRIMONY.COM & blahblahblah.COM has taken over the GHOTOK'S role. And I swear by "WWW"....... it works!!
And it works beautifully!!
- Create a profile - PING the "PROSPECTIVE SOULMATE" (..as they term it ) by sending him / her an interest - Take the contact details .....and get in touch.......The best pro I liked was you can try and figure out a lot about the person before actually meeting and hence can save yourself from the embarrassment of meeting and not moving ahead with it......
Anyways……
My home looked like a MAD HOUSE to me in last one year.... Besides taking care of HOME MINISTRY all I could see my mom doing was browsing one of the "SHAADI KI DUKAAN". Even her phone which I barely had heard ringing in the past went berserk ringing due to the SHAADI calls......
Funniest was the process flow. For every interest or message received, the primary screening was done by mom and my brother, the technicalities were checked by my father and finally it used to reach me. This was totally BUGGING but honestly writing, FUN too.....
Now, when I actually have my MR. PERFECT in life, engaged and all set to get married in four months time, I am a little confused about which matrimonial site should get the credit for bringing us together........ BHARATMATRIMONY.COM or JEEVANSATHI. COM??
WE MET on both........;)
