The Sunday paper

Today I read a portion of the Sunday paper that I normally discard...'the matrimonials'. Basically they are ads placed by families of eligible young men and women. My observation is that you need some sort of special decoder ring found in a cereal box to decipher these ads. Here are some of my faves...

• GOOD Looking Medical doctor girl in Bangalore 32/162 seeks Doctor groom. ( I am typing them just how they read...I have no idea what 32/162 means)
• 30/160 Wheatish Ph. D lecturer seeks PG Profnl groom caste no bar. ( What does 'wheatish' mean?)
• Alliance invited from parents of good looking lyer girls, Graduates or Post Graduates, prefereably working for a Mumbai based handsome lyer Vadama boy - Swathi, fair 30/188. B. Com., MBA financing working with an MNC Bank, Subsect no bar. (The word 'lyer' made me chuckle)

Like I said there is probably some sort of decoder ring that all the eligible young men and women possess so they can translate the secret codes embedded in the ads. Anyways reading these ads made me think back to how Z and I met...What if we met through matrimonial ads...this is what my ad would say:

• Fair, beautiful village girl seeks highly educated Super Model groom, must love to travel.
