“In Indian society, as soon as a girl completes her graduation, marriage proposals start pouring in like there’s no tomorrow. Then it totally depends on your parents how they want to deal with it. They can ignore the proposals and let you enjoy your newly found independence or they can start considering them without even telling you!
I always assumed that this won’t happen with me as I had the most liberal parents in the world. They always spoke about my career being above all. Then a day came in the year 2013 that changed them completely. I was 23 and had a decent job in my kitty when they got a proposal for me. I never thought my parents would even consider it but they did! They liked the prospective groom a lot. Especially my mom. She suddenly was very sure that he was just perfect for me.”
