This ‘matrimonial CV’ has gone viral on social networks, with 230,000+ views and lot of flowing in marriage proposals.
The ‘groom wanted ‘ad put out by Salem based Pillai conservative parents on a leading matrimonial website in mid-February had annoyed 24-year old Indhuja Pillai.
“I am a software engineer,” said the ad, and then lapsed into third person. “We are a Tamil family looking for a good groom for our only child, our daughter,” it said. It made her sound like she was desperate to get married and more than that she was disgusted by seeing the same statement for every woman in that matrimonial site.
So she came up with her own webpage detailing the kind of man she is looking to wed.
In the ad she has painted a portrait of herself with small details. “I wear glasses and look dorky in them,” she said. “Not a spendthrift or a shopaholic,” she described. Not a TV or book fan. “Not marriage material”. “Won’t grow long hair, ever.”
