I guess love, and the search for it, does strange things to us. I have come across some very interesting portrayal of those looking for their partners on India's biggest matrimonial sites. Most are uncomfortable when it comes to writing about themselves, but for some, it is a literary pursuit.
Here is a very beautiful self description of a, I am sure beautiful, aspiring wife.
It is honest, deep, thought provoking and profound. I hope she gets an equally nice man.
"Hi, I am quiet, rather shy, independent, usually patient, gentle, light hearted, kind spirited, and generally optimistic. I vacillate between craving the safety of my four walls and being terrified by them. I love being busy, but sometimes tire more quickly than I anticipate. I am always striving to be better tomorrow, but am never unhappy with who I am today. I try to make smart and informed decisions, but I tend to learn best from my mistakes. I am constantly wondering about the people around me and reminding myself that the world does not, in fact, revolve around me. I believe it is good to keep a perspective.
I somehow manage to be simultaneously cynical and optimistic. I would say I'm a realist with positive tendencies. I am attracted to others that take care of themselves and their responsibilities. I'm really very mellow, so if you're out dancing every night. I'd really rather not. Which isn't to say you can't...
I'm looking for someone unafraid to feel. With love, the possibilities are endless, and I want to experience it all. I am a firm believer in equality and balance. I will be your rock, but will require your stability at times too. Actions are more powerful than words... tell me what you feel, but more importantly.. show me."
