The other day I was browsing through my yahoo mail when I came across an Ad for Indian Matrimonies. This was clearly directed to NRI’s with a bold sign that said ‘Attention NRI’s’It was obvious that these Advertisers were trying to ape some American Advertisement company. The site kept flipping picture of attractive males and females with quotes and characteristics of their ‘Available Life partners’
The first Ad rolled by with a female’s picture saying
She paints rocks
She watched DDLJ 16 times
She has a mutt called Bob,
She dances a mean tango
She loves her steaks rare
Painting rocks does seem interesting, although I have never come across any female so far who had this hobby.
Then the next one about watching DDLJ 16 times.
Also pretty good given that they got a very popular Hindi Movie and used it .. good going.. Now it’s a totally different matter that someone who watches a movie like DDLJ 16 times is obviously a nut case living in a fantasy world. But let us not get into that.
Then our good friends go off-track...
She has a mutt called Bob,
A Mutt called Bob? Our NRI friend Venkatswamy might rake his brains cause the only mutt he has heard of is the Ramakrishna Mutt.
She dances a mean Tango.
Most of the NRI’s who scan this site do so because they were not capable of finding a partner themselves. So irrespective of the fact that they are living in a western country, when it comes to marriage what they want is a typical Sati Savitari types. Let alone one who dances a mean tango.
The last quote however is the one, which takes the cake
She likes her steaks rare
Now this will make all the guys flock around her.
First of all Steaks are synonymous with Beef, though you get it in other variants these are not so popular. And to add to it rare.
Then rolled the Ad for the next female.
She has a Phd
She likes to collect Ganesha's
She is writing a Cookbook.
She likes to have a pet turtl
Whats having a Phd got to do with getting married? Its just a note saying. Be ready to do all the house work yourself.
Writing a Cookbook.. hmm that’s another interesting trait. So if you marry her be ready to take the role of the guinea pig who has to try out all those recipes before they go into the Cookbook.
She likes to have a pet turtle
A very interesting hobby indeed. Perhaps before putting this Ad they should have checked if keeping a turtle in captivity would amount to the violation of any Wildlife regulation. Coming back to reality did u ever come across a girl who has a pet turtle? I have seen guys with tiny pet turtle's in aquaruiums. But yet to come across a girl who shares similar interest.
Now lets take a look at some of our Male counterparts AD's
He's adopted a village
He's met the Dalai Lama
He plans to climb Kilimanjaro
Hi's trekked in China
And he hugs trees
Amazing.. Just have one question. Does this guy do any real work?
Wonder what he did after adopting a village.
It would also be interesting to know what was the topic of discussion between him and the Dalai Lama.
Plans to climb Kilimanjaro, Great indeed. Guess Everest was not good enough for our friend. But in all fairness it makes much more sense to climb Kilimanjaro than Everest. Given the inhospitable terrain at Everest, unless you are a professional climber or have a lot of willpower, training and sophisticated equipment, attempting to climb Everest would be foolishness.
He Trekked in China
Now this is a great quality. Our friend has also become much wiser after his trek in China, next time he visits any country he will make sure to find out what time is the last bus back to town.
But this is an experience he will never regret. Thanks to the trek he is now in a position to open a consulting firm. This firm will give advice on where to go in China to find a cheap manufacturer for any kind of pirated goods.
The last one however beats me. He hugs trees.
To the normal man this would mean he is mentally deranged. There is a subtle difference between loving trees and actually going and hugging trees.
A note of caution to any girl who is planning to respond to this guy. Visualise the following. You and your partner decide to pay a visit to your friends place and your friend comes out to greet you. Your partner is going to shake hands with your friend and then proceed to hug the tree in his yard. LOL :-)
The bottom line is that there are a lot of interesting people available for you to select as a partner in this site. However if you are looking for a regular plain Joe, then you are not going to find one here.
On the other hand if you plan to upload your profile make sure you have a hobby that is on par with the ones posted here. If you don’t then I strongly suggest you take up a new hobby like designing aero-planes or Tornado chasing. For a pet you could consider keeping a Green Iguana, if space is a constraint a Tarantula might just be fine
