Mika's is an amazing collection, isn't it? Anyway, that was not the reason I logged in to blog when my back is hurting and feels like it is gonna snap in two (lest you get alarmed, let me explain that it is because of spending a whole Sunday cleaning the house).
So, the big news is that, yesterday, one of the online Indian matrimonial sites registered a new user - yours truly. After months of thinking about it and being told to do so, I finally finished creating the profile. I went shopping soon after that, with the satisfaction of getting something unpleasant out of the way. I called up my mom and told her the happy news (happy for her) and was amused by the surprised tones. Ha!
The smugness, however, soon transformed into panic when I came back home and saw 2 "interests" waiting for my response. After frantically messaging my mom to chat with me the next day (when I would put up my usual and futile fight against the whole damn thing of marriage in this way and even show them this), I decided to delete my profile. As luck would have it, the server did not respond. While I was trying to get the message through to the server, my friends (who were online) managed to calm me down. I was, again, amused by the excitement shown by my friends - "Finally, she's doing something about it. We got through to her!"
So, the profile is still up and hope's alive.
