Ashy I see what you are saying BUT I still feel that the girls should express her views about things that are important to her. All the compromise and flexibility is not just for the girl to do. This is not a business transaction therefore both parties should be open and make it clear what they want and how much they are willing or able to compromise.
Rishta meeting and interview is same as all other interviews and meeting , you behave the way they would like you to and you give the answers they would like to hear.
If you try to be yourself then you stand no chance. So play it safe kidos if you ever want to get married.

Totally agree..
On a different note I sometimes I wonder if the most crazy MILs have become that way due to years of pent up frustrations at always having to be the one to compromise and/or endure.. I would imagine always having to be the one who makes all the sacrifices like in the old days of desi husband + wife prob could mess your head up quite a bit..
I agree with what most people are saying. Be true to yourself but also be careful. I mean, for example, I'm super sarcastic so I would try to tone that down since most people don't appreciate it if they first meet me. And if you choose not to curse and speak politely, that doesnt mean you are being fake, it's called being appropriate. so that type of thing. But if you truly believe that wearing sleeveless/capris is right/drinking isn't a problem then by no means hide that because it'll come back to bite you in the arse if you lie. But then again, I have yet to have my first meeting with a guy in this context, so what do I know, right?
