Who says India has become advanced? Who says Western influence has come in and is spoiling our culture (I so wish that were true!)? I think that our country is still living in that purana zamaana and the onus is on our generation to do something about it.
You still have the same ol' tradition of arranged marriage- guy's family and the girl's family meet at some place (the girl's side has to pay for the expenses!). The girl had better be dressed in a saree (never mind if she's never worn it in her life, and in most probability won't be wearing it on a daily basis). Questions asked to the girl- and this is the best part- so listen up-
a) What's your name? (At least read the bio-data before coming!)
b) How much have you studied? (refer to above point!)
c) Can you cook? (let's say she can cook... listen to the next one-)
d) Can you cook variety items? (Variety items??? huh?)
d) Do you know ghar ka kaam-kaaj? (like what? jhaadu-bartan-kapde dhona? that's why you want a bahu?)
e) Have you done any extra classes- like painting, cooking classes? (huh??)
f) Do you like going out? (this has to be the best one so far...! :D)
And the last and most important one-
g) Do you have any brothers? No? No brothers at all? Only sisters? Ohh.... Looks at the dad and says, "No sons?"
Not even one question judges the person within... nothing about what you want to be in life.. nothing about your personality... nothing about your expectations.... total timepass... and at least if the guy had been good looking, the evening would not have felt such a waste :D
