Shaadi.com Chronicles - Part II

I watched Rockstar last night. Imtiyaz Ali aimed to show the story of EPIC LOVE! (whether he was successful or not is another issue i'll talk about in another note) but Epic Love... What is Epic Love? Is it something im looking for... for 6,000 rupees?

"No! Go for our personalized services, which costs 13,000 and you'll get better service" promised the counselor at the center when my mother called to find out why there were no more prospects, after the first disaster!

Mum - But atleast gimme what's 6,000 rupees worth!

Persistent Counselor - Madam! I assure you best service in our personalized service, we'll do all the calling, all follow up, all the meetings will be organized at coffee shops with free coffee from us! (I WAS EXCITED! FREE COFFEE!)

Mum - And what do i get for 6,000??

Persistent Counsellor - You can view contact details of the boys online and get in touch with them directly!

Mum - well i have viewed contact details of 8 boys, but no it says i've reached my limit. Now i can't access anymore details! i thought you said i could access 150.

PC - Yes! after 8 boys, you will have to wait 3 days to be able to activate your account again AT NO EXTRA COST! (WOW!) But Ma'am your daughter's profile is sooooo nice, try the personalised service and she'll get a groom in no time! i'll try and make it 10,000 for you.

Mum - No NO! if the profile is so nice, why am i not getting anyone now! We'll wait some more before we pay any further...

Just when i was beginning to enjoy the process, i have no boys to meet!

But on a more serious note... In my hunt for Epic Love, am i being fair to  my mum? I'm a romantic, i always have been and all i want is for a boy to love me enough to last me a lifetime... not asking for too much, am i?

But i guess, for now, i'll have to rely on my mother's relentless calling to the shaadi center, knowing well that there might never be anyone in this whole wide world who'll love me like my mother!
