Having an arranged marriage is not as easy as it sounds. In fact it’s more tiring! Seeing different families, meeting different people – It all takes a lot of time and efforts. We have listed few struggles every girl has to face when se decides to get married and start seeing rishtas:
LET THE STALKING GAMES BEGIN –
Nobody can remain hidden, you just need a name. You are stalking him, your friends are stalking him, your khandan is stalking him, his is stalking you. Basically, once you see someone for rishta soon after they are gone after having the samoosa and chai, the following day is spent stalking them on their social media accounts. 
PARENTS BECOME OBSESSED WITH EVERY GUY –
If your parents even slightly like the guy they began obsessing over it. Every conversation is incomplete unless they mention that guy in that conversation. Mom be like : ” Dinner is ready.. haye, i wish we could call him over for dinner too.. ” * facepalm*
GETTING MARRIED, MAKING BABIES BECOMES THE ONLY GOAL –
Every Family Member: When are you giving us the good news? Once you start the rishta hunt all your khandan wants from you is to get married and have kids. For them this becomes the ultimate life goal.
YOU DON’T NEED TO ANNOUNCE, THE WORLD ALREADY KNOWS –
It is public knowledge that you’re looking for a life partner. Every person you come across is either showing you more pictures or asking you when re you gonna make a decision. Wondering whether it was published anywhere?
GUYS APPEAR DIFFERENT WHEN YOU MEET THEM –
You see a picture, read the bio and decide to meet him. But all the guys look SO different in reality! When you meet the person, they don’t look the same as in the picture they sent you, And you are just there sitting wondering if you ready to do this anymore.
YOU HAVE TO START “ACTING PRESENTABLE” –
Your ghar walay won’t let you roam around the house all days in pyjamas because you never know the rishtay walay might visit anytime. Though you know that they’ll call a day before, but still, they want you to look on point all the time just for the sake of it. Sigh..
YOUR PARENTS CAN’T FIGURE OUT WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR –
Obviously, you have your own criteria on which you want to judge because you are the one who wants to spend the rest of your life with him. So you just say NO if you don’t find him befitting those criteria. But somehow your parents don’t seem to understand.
SO MANY CALORIES –
You are looking for a suitable rishta and at the same time having all the samosay and refreshments giving you extra unwanted callories. How ironic. This is might actually make you consider dieting.
CHOOSING A YOUR BEST PICTURE HAS NEVER BEEN THIS HARD –
Need to send the most favourite one with the bio-data. Most of the girls spend hours deciding what profile picture they should post on social media, now deciding a rishta picture is a whole new ball game.
YOUR LIFE BECOMES AN INTERVIEW WITH ENDLESS Q/A –
Either you are the interrogator or you are being interrogated. Either way, the questions and answers seem to have no end. You don’t know when to stop sometimes. Filtering is recommended until you feel more comfortable chatting with him, so they say!
