Marriage Tips For The Metro Man

Face it. You are at a huge disadvantage here. The sex ratio is already heavily skewed against you, and thanks to the beauty business, Indian women are very much a global commodity.

The only places where I have seen beautiful intelligent Indian women actively chasing classmates is at the IAS Academy. The girls wanted to get someone of their own stature and intelligence 每 and most of the boys were desperate to keep their eligibility alive for that flat, luxury car and 15 crore dowry waiting for them when they finished.
However unless you are still at the academy, you are competing not just with your fellow Jats/Bongs/Mallus but the loads of NRIs who aren＊t getting any there and are desperate to lay their eyes (and hands) on that perfect ＆Bharatiya Nari.＊ And with all this competition, you could end up doing something really stupid. So here is the Coke formula for Indian marriages. This may not always help you find the woman of your dreams 每 but you will definitely avoid a few nightmares.
The Mother Teresa Syndrome. These ones start brilliantly 每 she is not going to object to anything you say or do. You could be the most boorish irritating man (face it, you probably are..), drink like a fish, smoke like a chimney and gamble away all your money and she will stand by you. The problem is that she has decided to devote her life to changing you for the better 每 and once you do get married, god help you. Look forward to a life of having your single malts poured down the toilet, your golf clubs given away 每 and your Cuban cigars presented to the local plumber. And she will look at you straight in the eye and tell you it＊s all for your good. Her purpose in life is to reform somebody 每 sadly, that somebody is you. The litmus test, ask her early about her purpose in life. If it is to have lots of kids, make a lot of money and drive her mother in law mad, you＊re probably doing fine. If it is to change the world and make it a better place, run as if your life depends on it. It probably does!
The Family Album. Shakira was deceiving you 每the hips lie, cheat and deceive 每 and so do the arms, waist, calves and everything else you may be admiring. And just looking at her mother is not enough 每 that 100 kg paternal aunt may be the one whose genes she inherits. The only reliable way, get yourself invited over and show enough interest for the family albums to be pulled out. That＊s where the secret of Ritu Chachi＊s jowls will actually be revealed. Added bonus: if they all look human and you think of going ahead, you will gain a few brownie points with the in-laws.
The Cute Mannerisms. Do you love the way she drums her fingers, or wrinkles her nose 每 or calls you babykins in front of your friends. Imagine those same mannerisms on a fifty year old with cellulite. 90% of what you find cute on a shapely twenty something will make you want to strangle her twenty five years later. Avoid, or tell her right now that you are going to do something drastic unless she gives up that particular habit. Might save you a prison sentence many years later.
The Visiting Card Smile. This is the look that a particular type of girl gets once she hears or sees the magic words＃＃Vice President, Citibank, Google, McKinsey＃.take your pick. This is the more recent version of the ＆property smile＊ 每 which is the complete change in attitude that you get in Delhi once people realize you live in Defence Colony or Golf Links or some such posh area.
Once she homes in每 you are the hunted, not the hunter - and you＊ve got to play this smart. If you are not interested, try the ＆I＊ve really been great since my last rehab§ or ※they told me herpes is completely curable§ lines. The only reason you might ever want to go through with this is if she is really loaded and you are as much of a gold digger as her. In which case 每 enjoy, you guys deserve each other.
Meet the in laws. Army officers are excellent once you gain their trust and don＊t plan any trysts with the younger sister. They are generally tolerant of your drinking, smoking and any other vices you might have - and are normally easy to get around. Avoid civil servants 每 they will unbearably smug and treat you like an incurable skin disease if they are honest. And if they are on the take, that Mercedes he gifted you during the wedding may just be picked up in the next CBI raid. Small town businessmen are excellent 每 they will be generous with the gifts, treat their daughters like princesses and will always be too busy to come over for long visits.
Finally, and this is important - figure our your deal breakers. Mine were Michael Bolton, Yanni and scientology. if you hear those ＆magic＊ words run 每 and don＊t forget, your dream girl is just around the corner, probably somewhere in Timbuktu. All the best!
