Matrimonial profiles-funny observations

My Dad keeps telling me to check out my matrimonial profile ( The one he has created on a matrimonial portal to find a suitable match for me) regularly and browse through the profiles. On one fine day Dad made a point that I sit with him and go through the profiles. Hmmm... time to do some serious job but what I ended up doing some really funny observations. :)

It starts with creating profile….

Here you will find profiles created by self, parent, sibling, friend and in some cases ‘other’( Now I wonder who is this ‘other’ who takes pain to search match for his/her ‘other’ on matrimonial site by creating profile!!! Any guesses???) Now in ‘self’ category you will find those brave ‘boys’ and ‘girls’ who are real warriors participating in the battle of finding suitable match for them by creating profile on their own. (Fact : The count of boys creating ‘self’ profile comes higher than the girls)

Now if you think profile which has tag other than ‘self’ means it is really their parents, sibling and friend who are searching match for him/her then you are mistaking. Some players prefer to play chhupa rustam game. They create their profile but cover up themselves behind the name of parents, sibling, friends and yea ‘other’ too- I still couldn’t figure out who could be this ‘other’!!!! That you would come to know when you read their profile write up showing mixture of first person, second person, third person, singular, plural and all khichdi. One more proof, at the time of expressing interest they forget that the profile shows it is created by parent and the message shows their name in Regards J ( Fact : Some of them are genuine ones too.)

Now it comes about length of ‘about me’

Most of them will say it is difficult to describe myself in few words so they end it up with 2-3 lines only. Oppositely few would write thesis about themselves that too ending up with the lines ‘sorry if I have forgotten to share something.’ (Yaah you just have left writing about your neighbours !!!)Some ‘real’ smart people simply copy matter from other’s write up. I came to know about this after seeing similar lines in different profiles that too not only sentences but whole profile write up!!! copy cats here too!!! (How about registering copy right haan!!!)

Now it comes about things mentioned in ‘about me’

This is the place to advertise yourself with sentences flooding with adjectives. Now common stuff includes attributes such as ‘simple’ ( I don’t understand what simple means exactly !!!!if you are not simple then what you are!!! complicated!!!!) ‘God fearing’(having belief in God is fine but what is this God fearing!!!!why God would like to create fear!!!!)  ‘He must have handsome earning’ (Madam you want to marry a guy or his salary package!!!!)

Everyone likes music ( After getting married their fights would be musical..lolz)

After some common attributes now it’s time to have some' real rare' attributes. ‘As I love pets he too should have likings for pets’ ( you have to spend  life with human being not with the pet!!!!) ‘She should be bubbly and naughty like a child’ ( Please you grow up first before thinking about marriage. Mental level of maturity should also be considered along with the age criteria what say!!!) ‘She must look good and have fair complexion’ ( people also write ‘fair colour’ grrrr..thank God they don’t write’white color girl’..lolz)

Now let’s come to the intelligently funny part. Some profile creators make matrimonial sites really ullu by not paying a single penny and still they reveal their contact details. Now think how!!! See what funny things they do. What they do they mention their email id in their profile but in such a way that the profile moderator couldn’t get it while scanning the profile. See the example

xyz at ya dot come ( at = @, ya = yahoo, come = com) simple got the id!!!! Some ‘smart’ people mention their email id in regional language e.g. ‘ maru prolife id e j maru gmail id chhe’ oh!!!!!! going one step ahead I also came across the profiles where they write ‘you can find me on orkut’ for further communication!!!! Whatta way I must say!!!best use of matrimonial portal with the help of Orkut:P Poor matrimonial sites…lol if they have lock then the smart brains have the keys…..:D

To Jigisha---As you wanted me to write something on this I am dedicating this post to you...:)

Christmas….now n then- Time changes memories don’t…

Those were the days when Christmas happened to be a blast…. wishes, Cake, Red dress code, lightings, visit to church, beats of Christmas carols, gathering at Fatehgunj-a hub of young crowd in Baroda on christmas and 31st, dinner at decorated restaurant and lots of fun…gone are the days

Today my cousin asked me what are your Christmas plans!!!and that question opened up the doors of my past Christmas memories. How madly I used to celebrate Christmas!!!

I still remember that childhood innocence when I had strong faith in santa’s existence. And the faith was so deep that on Christmas eve I used to put a pair of socks under my pillow to get gift from Santa. And how can I forget my bro!!! So I used to put a pair of socks under his pillow too so he also can get gift from Santa. And then a nice sleep with the excitement to get up early in the morning to see what gifts santa has dropped into socks!!! Though next day seeing an empty socks was quite disappointing.:( I asked my brother whether he has got something from santa or not but he was too young at that time to understand what Santa is and what gift I am talking about. And see the heights of optimism I thought Santa would have found difficulty in opening the door as it was locked yesternight so what my little brain thought from next year I will hang the socks outside the door so when santa come to drop gift he would not find difficulty in dropping the gift because of doors locked!!!! But before the next Christmas came my grown up age made me understood that Santa lives in stories only.

So when next year Christmas came I told my brother that real Santa exists and you keep socks under your pillow next day you would find a gift. He did it following my words and guess what!!! next day when he got up a gift was waiting for him..now guess which Santa brought that one for him!!!! Yup It was me her Sis who became a santa for him....gone are the days

I love to smile remembering this incident which I have not shared with anyone so far. How innocent I was and stupid too…lol

During school days I literally used to pull my brother to come along with me in church on christmas. Going to church at Ffategunj and from there to Monginis for pastry and chocolates and then a nice dinner with Mom-Dad and Bro at restaurant where getting chocolates from Santa was the joy…gone are the days

With the days passing on friends became the company for Christmas celebration. Me n my gang of girls in red dress code, roaming around in Fatehgunj, exchanging gifts and chocolates, clicking snaps with santa and cherishing moments…..gone are the days

Now I don’t place socks under my pillow because I know Santa is not going to come, I don’t visit church because I find myself ‘busy’, I don’t eat cake and chocolates because have become health conscious , I don’t go to Fatehgunj because now I find that crowd nuisance…..Time changes memories don't.

Jingle bells jingle bells, jingle all the way……

Merry Christmas!!!!!:)
