Lets Talk Matri-mourny!!

If anyone had asked on last friday what my weekend plans were gonna be I would have happily replied "eat mom-cooked food, set up my new flat( kindly note the point your honour!!),go out shopping with parents..blah blah" but little did I know that at 11.30pm I will get squeezed and compelled to write a BM profile of my own to enter the elite group of bright , young energetic bachelors ready to lose their "bachelor" status(rather divert from their "single"life -- hehe if this doesn't give a lopsided meaning).

I must admit that this has been one of the most challenging task that I have done in the recent past. Starting from eye-balling all the girl profiles (to see what they are loking for.. no no no.. not sight adiching!!)and realize that most of them look for fair,tall and handsome partner.. the trait that I have not possessed for last 26 years .. ippadi dideennu keta enga poven!!

Then we start off creating one.With my choices limited to Madhwa desistha non-kaushika gothra girls(puff!) , my profile already has to go through a very narrow channel to get through.. especially with god being a lil childish when he designed my face and me being childish in my eating habits.. thanks to both now I am absolutely shapeless!! Now for this shapeless person we need to add photographs to impress people( both girls and their parents.. enna kodumai saar ithu :(:( )

We choose two of the best snaps among the worst.. being a GUI developer these days WYSIWYG applies to photos as well.. ( localla sonna chatti-aggapi concept if you have heard?? )..yeah! we did find a couple of them one supposedly looking a lil modern and one with all mudras(or namams.. chamathu sandya vandanam pic you see).. what to do girls look for a traditional at the sametime modern broadminded outlook.!!

Sari photos done! Now what? Something about BM that I liked was he made my job easier.. there was check boxes for most of the difficult ones..then came the section of writing about myself! The most difficult one.. my character to be described in more than 50 characters! With all the above difficulties , the narrow channel I mentioned above, my horoscope for the horror scope it is( rendule kethu josiayara maathu funda.. I will have a difficult married life if at all I have one:D) my "about myself" was the only option for me to sell myself in the kalyana market . I write a little more than a parah about myself .. and now its review time!!

Sharing my BM link with friends and relatives is the most amazing thing!! Yo get to know where you exactly suck. "Your profile looks ok.. but for some grammatical mistakes" said an English friendly friend.. Oh My God!! Looking for tall, handsome good looking guys I kinda knew girls looked for glamour but do they look for grammar too? Glamour or Grammar .. i suck at both!
One friend says "put that you own a house" , the other guy says "Dont put your salary and assets da.. let the girls come for you than your assets".. Dei do you have any idea about the narrow channel I fall in? Nothing against girls they do look for the financial stability of the grooms.. quite rightly so.. I would look for the same if I was looking a groom for my sister too..

By mistake I have used the word "gauge" in the profile to mean gauging a person(remember screw gauge,bellows gauge etc etc??) cannot be done from these few lines( Just to give myself some more room and inducing a doubt in the girls mind that there is prolly something more which they may get to know about me if they talked!!- apparantely which isnt the case:D) But yeah as usual my englipis let me down and I used a "guage" instead of "gauge" which gave more a meaning like the types of trains meter guage and broad guage..( what am I trying to say here?)

Then there is my Aunt .. who adores and admires me for no reason and for no fault of hers.. my aunt dahlia she is like the one in PGW.. though there are similarities I am not Berty( I am a lil dirty may be :D) and I don't have a jeeves to pull me out of trouble.. she keeps telling the girl I am gonna get is very fortunate... alas!!

At last!! I must confess to all my friends I have not changed a word.. let the mistakes be as they are.. If i start correcting I may introduce more.. Just like how rat sees just the bait and not the trap.. the girl may also see just the positives and ..you-know-what!!!

Its been fun though!!
