I always knew I never wanted it to be my own stories- and a perspective from a guy will be nice. @The Fool- Yes we should.

This is one topic that never fails to generate. Talking of a book? You can consider including me as well in the venture. I have chronicled my attempts to find a bride at great length on my blog and new readers are popping up and commenting even today nearly 3.5 years after I wrote it. Interesting read.

I think between us we can come up with one heck of a story. I nearly cried with laughter (and genuine sadness) at some of the things you've reported. @Runaway Bride- Hello– do you want to join me in writing that book?

I have really, lost count of the number of 'perspective grooms' I have met. But, I got a weird idea of maintaining a blog about it, and I fantasize of making my man read it, someday. (This is one reason, I ask every perspective groom, if he likes to read :P ) This is exactly my story!!! I have really, lost count of the number of ‘perspective grooms’ I have met.

Can you imagine a guy using that SkypeID for business calls? But yes- he could have been more subtle about it with his mum around and all that. @Confused Soul- Oh they do! Which is why I get so much of entertainment value out of this. @Payal- Not exaggerated, except for my reactions. I took out all the drama and the emotion so I could come across as sassy and awesome, when the truth is I, like most girls in my position, had to cringe in horror at the things I was forced to hear. @Rajpriya- Sorry to hear that about the couple. But these things are so common that hardly anyone gets shocked by them anymore. ;) @Sonik- I sincerely hope so. Can you imagine a guy using that SkypeID for business calls?

And even if this is exaggerated, I am ready to believe it. You really should write a book. Maybe a kind of guide for future Indian brides who are trying to venture the arranged marriage market :D Haha, i cannot stop laughing! And even if this is exaggerated, I am ready to believe it.
