Match-making: yay or nay?
Kiran Manral, author of the ‘True Love Story’ series and several bestsellers, had ‘proposals’ coming her way while she was in college in her teens.
“ I was completely disinterested in getting married. The one ‘meeting’ a family friend set up I think I completely went against the grain of what was expected of me by being upfront that I hated cooking and would never get into the kitchen and that I was agnostic and didn’t believe in ritual. That was that. Fell in love, got married six years down the line. I think there is immense bravery in those who agree to an arranged marriage, and I admire them. I understand the convenience of getting married to someone who comes from a similar background, culture, etc, so the period of adjusting to life post marriage becomes easier. Having said that, I wouldn’t have it any other way and have instructed my son to please find his own spouse, I’m not going to be hunting one down for him.”
