What is a matrimonial website.

- A brainchild(a bit of an exaggeration,but whatever)of a CS enthusiast and a defaced astrologer of the 90's.

Before the troll begins, let us try to focus on the possible sane explanation for the origin and the seemingly exponential,strong legacy of this ridiculousness. Oh! Wait, that is a catch-22 situation in itself, let us begin the troll!

If you caught a person off-guard and gave him/her the following set of information, what would a sane person guess?

• Name-
• Age
• Background-..
• Height :..
• Weight- ...
• Job - ...
• Salary - ...
• Interests - ...
• Achievements - ..
• Languages spoken-

There is a possibility that the answer might revolve around a job profile, higher studies, maybe for an entry into Sumo Wrestling Championship...maybe!

But look at this

• Eating Habits(just to be sure that it is not Hannibal)
• Smoking habits(Just to verify that it is a human and not a chimney)
• Dosham(If you have learnt Sanskrit probably you would think of this as a misspelling for Dosa in Sanskrit)
• Gothram( Batman fans, no it is not Gotham!!)
• Star/Raasi(Just look at the spelling on that!..probably they were wondering if they would find a match who is from the same insipid, gormless universe as theirs which has that star)
• Family values(Clearly #Sanskaari)
• Family type( Well! if one voluntarily signs up for such insanity then probably a stark stupid one!)
• Ancestor/Origins-(What if they have descended from Hyenas instead of  Apes, the dowry would probably be a little less)
• Father's income( I mean, why not?..let us tow the line)
• Mother's income( Oh my God! they are so advanced, they do take mothers to be breadwinners. I mean(slow claps!)
• No. of brothers and Sisters( See, why blast bijli when you can fire up  the entire chain of crackers! yay! festive time)
• And who asks whether they are looking for someone with Dosham, I mean...why??
• Professional preferences (Annual Income + Branch)-- Because Google hires people with 7. odd CGPA,..let us give them all  chance)

Phew! That was a lot, but let me warn you, it is not exhaustive!

While it maybe a lot of fun, just stumbling upon such websites and trolling them, on a serious note, there are a lot of people who have fallen prey to this and the most sad part is that  they enter the trap voluntarily..and while some are happy staying trapped there for life( or after life(well for some #Sanskaaris))..some end up regretting this life long and end up spreading toxicity about this institution.

So, look out people,look out for that one nash,impostor with a humongous Coursera subscriptions but a Sanskaari heart!

(Just joking! Not generalizing...But do keep a watch!)

-All in good humor!
