My papa brought proposals to me for marriage, and I somehow couldn't seem to settle down with any of them. I would talk to them, once or multiple times, depending on my interest, but none of them fit well in my vision of a “life partner.” It was difficult to explain this concept of “my kind of life partner” to my increasingly restless parents, but I was determined to not give in to their irrational demands. I knew I would rather stay single and than marry someone against my wishes. Papa had given my number to a prospective match who might call me anytime. I was now on an alert, and since I couldn't hate Papa, I hated this prospect who could call me. Couldn't he give a set date and time? It was the pressure (and the liberty) of an arranged marriage system to talk to him that helped me in knowing him further beyond those superficial, materialistic aspects. I am thankful for the fact that Papa insisted I talk to him. It is an added advantage that Papa had done all the background checks by himself, and that there were no chances of being cheated. The best part is that Papa admired him instantly when he met him for the first time. Papa was so sure of his choice that he knew this guy would sweep me off my feet; he was so right.
