Matrimonial – Groom Wanted

PQSM4 26 year old girl. Wheatish complexion, nurse in semi govt hosp, looking 4 match in para med services. Caste no bar. 

My house help Ramwati has been after me to place in an advertisement on the computer (read internet) for her daughter - a very bright young girl who fought her way to study nursing after I encouraged her to do a primary course at DCWA (Delhi Commonwealth Women’s Association). Later she went on to do a full-fledged diploma in nursing at SOS village nursing school. Ramwati has been encouraging her daughter to find a match for herself, now that she is almost half a doctor to find a good Doctor for herself, in her work place. I am pleasantly surprised at the aspiration level of this mother who has a BPL (below poverty line) card and struggles to save every penny for her 2 daughters’ weddings. I have posted her profile in a few matrimonial websites and hope to get a response, which I can pass on, to her for further enquiry.

I do not know how successful these posts work for a person. When I made a few random searches I became very vary to the point of curiosity to explore more into this virtual world of finding a perfect match for her. Below are some very funny posts I encountered during my explorations for a good match for her.

My wife should be as 'Shivani' as in Kahani Ghar Ghar Ki and as Tanwerr as in KSBKBT 

I want very simple girl from Brahmin educated family from orissa state she is also know about RAMAYAN, GEETA BHAGABATA, and other homework

Education : Management MBA/BBA/
Occupation : Business Person
I AM VERY JOVIAL TO BEHAVE AND ADMIRE EVERY ONE…i am normal person .i need noemal partner... 

Curiosity pushed me to read the Sunday matrimonials which had weird abbreviations like:

PQSM 4 a gori girl.

I’less incnt div.

H’some MGLK boy SM 4 a slim grl

SNDYBR SM  NM Veg 27/4Lpa MBA

NM PB Sr Br SM wrkng in NCR. Caste no bar

SM4 4 RGH Sikh grl

V H’some Divcee – teetotaler, issueless well settled Doc. 35y

I am trying to figure what they mean, some look more complicated than a Morse code and I would like to seek some insight into these nagging abbreviations and hope to sleep better. To give you a clue I did figure out what PQSM 4 meant: Professionally Qualified Seeking Match for…. !!! and I’less incnt div means: Issueless innocent divorcee ( whatever that means! Don’t ask me!!)

Believe me it is a treasure trove to dig in and have a KBC moment trying to figure out all this. The reason for these cryptic abbreviations may be due to how expensive these ads have become. For a novice it would be a good business idea to come up with a dictionary of all these short sms type phrases and words to make things easier. What do you say?

Jugaad, Politics and Autorickshaw rides

Hi! Welcome to my blog! I have been living in this beautiful city for almost 25years and had so many tales to tell. If I keep any more in my head it will burst! I want to share these anecdotes, incidents that would, at times, make you laugh, angry, empathize, or simply make you smile and identify with. I have been toying with this idea for a long time and before my old foggy head starts to shred them into a black hole of nothingness, I better write about them and laugh, get angry, empathize, or simply smile and be happy to hope someone is reading them too!!

This blog would be full of experiences both mine and yours. I would write about my autorickshaw rides, matchmakers, the great Indian marriage, my favourite places and more….
