Re: An awkward situation
A marriage rishta was sent for me but got rejected the similar way… My parents excuse was: my daughter is young so we are not thinking about it… 2nd time it got rejected after 2yrs by saying, “our daughter dont seem to be a compatible match for your son, she requires someone with a master degree”
Ok so let’s say you do what NomiCA says and tell them that your daughter isn’t ready…but I’m talking about the initial approach.
Suppose one fine evening, you’re having chai and these good friends of yours ring the doorbell and come in with a big smile. You welcome them and have chai together, and just when you’re about to take a bite into that crispy samosa, your friend says: “Today we’re here with a proposal. We’ve been thinking about this for a while and we’ve known your family for years. Nothing will give us greater pleasure than having your daughter as our bahu.”
Will the aloo fall out of the samosa and drop on your floor, or will you take the bite, swallow and smile? What would you say if you really can’t imagine this happening…chances are that you too have thought about this situation before and have secretly hoped that it would never come up?
