The Shaadi Brouhaha diaries Part I

Raise your hand if you have ‘never’ been approached for rishta by relative-intermediaries? Yes, you heard me, ‘never’. Not one soul in sight, right? So get your coffee (or tea) and read along. Today we talk about our beloved relatives - ‘Making potential Jodis since medieval times’ 

Completed your bachelors? Not good enough.
Done with your post-graduation? Still not.
Started working? Just right. 

Enter (Goldilocks-y) relatives, the pioneers of match-making and the exclusive holders of the large databases of potential wedding aspirants long before shaadi.com came along, the sole community who have been taking upon themselves to ensure that each one of you gets ‘settled’ in your prime years. Yes, the tribe who holds the supreme capability to sniff out all the single-status holders and are hell-bent on ‘inke ladke ka karva dete hai’.


 
Thriving on pure gossip (and love), they never fall short of attending any wedding that crosses their path. Ranging from vocation-expert uncles to ‘chhote bhai ka bhi apni office me lagva de’ ones, from the bua who makes the best malai kofta to that maasi who is up-to-date with the latest Page 3 gossip, from the over-sensitive ‘bura-lag-jayega-any-minute’ kinds to over-enthu ones who get crazed over that ‘Saddi Gali’ step, we have surplus of them. 

Love them or hate them, but you can’t deny that they make your wedding experience more enriching, more entertaining, more jubilating and guarantee a lifetime of drama and melodrama.
Intrigued by our Indian culture and the clan? In the mood for reading a hilarious rom-com? Look no further, The Shaadi Brouhaha – arranged marriage hungama is your one stop shop for a great entertainment read.

  1. In this fashion my partner Wesley Virgin's adventure begins in this SHOCKING AND CONTROVERSIAL VIDEO.

    Wesley was in the military-and shortly after leaving-he found hidden, "mind control" tactics that the CIA and others used to get anything they want.

    As it turns out, these are the exact same secrets tons of celebrities (especially those who "come out of nowhere") and elite business people used to become wealthy and successful.

    You probably know that you use less than 10% of your brain.

    That's because most of your BRAINPOWER is UNCONSCIOUS.

    Maybe this thought has even occurred INSIDE your own brain... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's brain 7 years ago, while riding an unregistered, beat-up bucket of a vehicle with a suspended license and with $3.20 in his bank account.

    "I'm so frustrated with living check to check! Why can't I become successful?"

    You took part in those types of thoughts, isn't it right?

    Your success story is going to start. You just have to take a leap of faith in YOURSELF.
