Indian buffets are like sleep aids. (Not like I need those.)
One reason why I like to go to Kama is because they carry copies of the India Abroad paper and at the back are the classifieds where mostly parents put in ads to find mates for their sons and daughters! Check it out. Sometimes it isn’t parents, people put in ads themselves. Here are a couple of ones Sergio and I found interesting this time (of course, I’ve left out the email addresses and phone numbers!):
PUNJABI parents seek match for 32/5’7″ son, Doctor doing Cardiology, (innocently divorced); from US based professional girl.
My favourite part? Innocently divorced.
49yrs, Single, Hindu Goan, Pharmacist, US citizen, seeks alliance from homely, pleasant girl, w/sense of humor, willing to relocate.
I think he should’ve consulted with a dictionary before using the word ‘homely’.
WELL educated, sober, settled Match for Sikh khatri girl, 23, 5.5ft, convent educated, beautiful, slim, law graduate, Chandigarh based. Father on high status govt. post.
Hmm. I suppose if my father was in a high status government post, I should be sober, right?
And we thought this one was the best:
FABULOUS MD, 1965/5/10″/170 (looks 35), unfortunate brief marriage, unencumbered. Handsome, fair, funny, super nice; seeks jovial stunner, will match. Photo.
This guy had us with “unencumbered”. Is that not an excellent word? Tones down the “unfortunate brief marriage” part. Sergio had his phone out, we were curious to ask for a photo!
