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?
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
