"Shaadi photo match" kept urging me to click on a face with an endearing smile and skin red as a lobster, with "gora" written all over it. Having received the mail three times, I gave in and wrote to him. As I am into lobsters and he into coconuts, we immediately clicked. Then we endured a series of tests and interviews: my parents and my son interviewed him, and his mother cross-examined me. The questions were tough, but luckily we scraped through. Then came the terms and conditions. Although my parents had been saving up for a BMW, a villa and 3kg of gold, he being a gora settled for a motorcycle, twenty cows and a PIO card. And then for the "horoscope matching"- it only took a few thousand rupees to make the stars align in perfect harmony! The rest is history. Moral of the story: Goras are the most cost-effective option, although you might end up spending substantial amounts on sun protection!
