My Cousin

So I’ve been facing this dilemma and I don’t really know how to go about resolving it.

I have a cousin in Karachi. She has an absolutely wonderful personality, a bachelor’s degree, an amazing sense of humour, a wicked wit, can cook like no other I know, is hardworking, knows how to respect her elders and love the little ones. She is vigilant about her prayers and conservative in her attire.

I want to find a suitable rishta for her here in Toronto. How should I go about it?

Did I mention that she’s drop dead gorgeous?

Re: My Cousin

Age range?

Re: My Cousin

She is 22.

Re: My Cousin

I live in USA, but willing to relocate.

Re: My Cousin

What's her bachelor's in?

Re: My Cousin

:cb:

Re: My Cousin

Muzna,

I am willing to relocate too. I like long walks on the beach, candlelight dinners, holding hands and I am a great cook too.
And i am prettier than both Maddy and Umair. Pics provided upon request.
Did i mention my parents are deeply affected by the ban on caviar export?

Re: My Cousin

umair,

Thanks. That's great. But unfortunately she would have to be sponsored into Canada herself so she cannot sponsor you. Unless you are looking to apply for Canadian immigration on your own merit and then once you have accomplished that we can talk. Btw, where in the US are you located?

maddy,
It's just a simple degree in Commerce. I haven't talked to her about furthering her education as yet. I can't imagine that she wouldn't want to go back to school but I do know that it was finances that held her from continuing her education.

Last year she was teaching in some small private school but was looking for a better position. I don't know if she found something or is just at home now.

My other cousin has her in his sights and I know that there is some pressure on my uncle to accept the proposal from my aunt, but we (myself, her brother and a few other members) feel that her talents and her personality would be stifled in that relationship.

Besides that, her brother is settled here as will be her elder sister. This would mean that she is the only left from this family unit in Karachi as there is no possibility of the other cousin relocating abroad.

Re: My Cousin

mysticpapaya,

go for a walk, please.

dope,

Please accept this as my formal request for a photo. Let's see what you look like and then we'll take it from there.
So sorry about the ban on caviar. Please forward my condolences to your parents.

Re: My Cousin

Hmmm... actually, thinking about this made me realise that I have a few issues of my own to resolve in the short term.
interest withdrawn for now

Re: My Cousin

So anyway......I posted here because I wanted to know what other people have done to hook up their siblings.

I was thinking about surfing over to Naseeb and checking out some rishtay posted there but I am very protective about this cousin and would rather find someone that I know and can get to know in person.

Any opinions?

Re: My Cousin

Thanks for the condolences.
Serious question.
Why only canada? why not the US or UK?
What kind of guys are you looking for? Education, height, family history, ethnicity etc etc.

How tall is she again?

Re: My Cousin

Muzna, posting rishtas on the World Wide Web is the last thing you want to do. Especially in a place like Gupshup, you don’t want to hook up your cousin with someone who average 20 posts a day in the tech forum.
The best thing to do is talk to your friends in the Toronto area, and see if they have someone in mind.

Re: My Cousin

I guess one more question is in order. Does she have any career aspirations or is her interest in being a housewife?

Re: My Cousin

Muzna Baji, have you asked her if she is ok with the aunt’s proposal or would she be ok with other people looking for her rishta? The reason I asked is because the last time I thought I am making the best decision for someone I cared for, it ended up biting my donkey on many different levels.

Re: My Cousin

^^

And where is your donkey now?

AQ

Re: My Cousin

Sore.

Re: My Cousin

:eek: What was someone doing to your donkey to make it so sore?

Re: My Cousin

maddy, did you not read it...he said "biting"

Re: My Cousin

hahaha…the creditionals Muzna has provided are pretty good…too bad ive already fill my quota of 4..:bummer:
