Matrimonial traits

I spent a hilarious evening with a relative in India looking at the bio-data of her prospective suitors. She is, as they say in our parts, in the marriage market. She isn’t too happy about this, but has decided to go along to buy some time and space. Her family, btw, is not searching for a husband. No sir, they are searching for an alliance. What had decided the first shortlist was matching horoscopes.

Some of these heroes had very interesting things to say about themselves in their bio-data.

A few gems-

Colour: White

Complexion: Fair. Good-looking.

Occupation of mother: Married.

Occupation of sister: Married. Settled (sounds like she is on antipsychotics, as in, the patient is calm and settled).

Occupation of sister: Settled in California.

Attitudes (sic): I am open-minded to my wife working. She is welcome to help me in my out-sourcing business so that we can make it more and more successful together. I am having annual turnover of Rs. 37 lakhs currently (sic). If my wife doesn’t want to join me, I am open-minded to support her decesion (sic) to be involved in her seperate (sic) job also. I am an open- minded, go-getting type of person (Wokay?)

Attitude: God fearing.

By the end of this, we were both rolling on the ground.

P.S. If any of you chaps are out there, I’ve got your mugshots on my mobile. Just had to show it to the Lady, sorry. I promise to delete them afterwards.
