dude, you are freaking me out man :scared: . Why is this shaadi stuff so important to us :confused: ?

I think since the day i was born my grandmothers have been keeping an eye out for "nice girls who can speak marathi" whatever that is.

Not to mention that since I got into school my "stock value" has sky rocketed and if I match into the specialty of my choice, i automatically go blue chip. What i find really funny is each week when I call my grandmas they try to find out if there is somone on the horizon, and whats even funnier is they think they are trying to be discreet with their questioning :laugh:

:oops: Too bad I believe in laow marriage.... my grandmas are going to be crushed :(
 
I pray to God I never get too old to the point I have to resort to a personals website (i.e. shaadi.com, hindimatrimony.com) to finding a bride....would like to meet a nice chic before I finish undergrad...i'm running out of time. :(

true..same reason here ;)

i guess that's why i waited. but coming from someone in med...this may not be the best. for indians the pool is small to begin with. getting in and being in med school makes your pool shrink further. i hope i don't have to resort to "matrimonial ads" but sheesh the way things look right now...that options can't be off the table.

I agree. I have many friends in med school and they all tell me that med school is not the ideal time to find a guy/girl. A lot of the nice guys are already either in relationships or engaged/ married and the pool is very small. so keep your options open ;)
 
network. thats the key to life. in the medical profession, as in so many other professions, your ability to network can set you apart. when you are applying for residencies, who you know, and who's support you have can go such a long way. same thing for when you're out practicing, even more so.

it also helps with relationships. if you're single, one of the best things you can do is just continue to meet people. the best way to do that is through networking, through friends. networking with friends is different, you're not going around making small talk and handing out your business card every time you see someone you don't know, but my advice, stay tight with people who are already in relationships or already married, they always have tons of single friends. meeting a girl at a random party or a club or something is possible, but meeting a friend of a friend, or being introduced to someone that you both mutually know, thats a lot easier. plus your friends know you, so they might have an idea of someone you should meet.

arranged marriage in the old sense is largely defunct. its evolved considerably. really, i think what happens is moreso "arranged introductions"
people joke about grandparents or parents looking for girls or guys for their children, or to set them up, but mostly its just to get their kids to meet someone and its really up to the kids to take it from there. its not an arranged marriage by any means, just an introduction.

another great place to meet desis. the big conventions during the summer. i think there's one for pretty much every major state/language.

like JAINA, Bengali Convention, Telugu, Tamil... there are tons. I know many many people who have met girls or guys at these conventions and a couple years later ended up getting married. for the younger crowds, these conventions can be a good time, they always have young adult activities, mixers, parties. plus, pretty much everyone there is from a similar cultural/family background as you. so check those out too.

i need to practice what i preach. sigh.

thanks for the advice dude
Man I hope I don't have to resort to the matrimonial ads
 
Haha maybe the matrimonial ads aren't so bad...but I think I would resort to my parents trying to hook me up with someone else if I can't find someone on my own steam. :rolleyes:
 
Don't worry guys lol I think we all still have a few more years before we have to resort to matrimonial websites ;)
 
But you know how it goes....say if you plan to get married at 25, start looking when you're 21.

haha same here.
Lucky me I have a few cousins and relatives here in the States that know a lot of people. But sadly I am not very respected (my own actions led to this/also they are nice but ABCD so "just" nice you know the ones you say "Hi" to and try to stay away from their path as much as possible coz you are not cool enough, although I am as westernized as I could be :( )

Ahh single blues
Help me Krishna :(
 
why are you guys worried? its a job of every desi parent to find their son a nice beautiful girl, or vice versa for that matter..so relax..hehe

yep, when a guy dances, it exposes his (naughty + innocent) self. only naughty or only innocent isn't good.

A childhood friend of mine recently met a guy her parents were raving about for years after secretly sending in her 'biodata'. Theyre now engaged....so corny as it is, I guess it sometimes works.

Holi is the best Indian festival. A couple of years ago, my sister and I invited a lot of our friends over for Holi while our parents were in India....there are still patches of paint stains all over our house.
