I am so sorry to hear about your cousin. Did her second child survive? One of my wife's best freinds who was like a sister to me passed away the same way. This was in US and a clear case of malpractice, they messed up her c-section. she was a doc herself and told them soemthing was not right, the doc dinn bother to check for another day and a half, and when she just got seriously ill they opened her up to find out they had not patched her up properly and she had massive internal bleeding. It was just horrible. mY your cousisn family have some peace and her kids get a good life and someone who will care for them.

Should have bought a brand name jooti to beat the "prominent" lady
DEar Moona: It is very surprising to me that u let a good person only due to height. I hope u shud get a nice person , but for a moment think wud u marry a guy who is tall enough but doesnt care for u , I think these things r secondary in such imp decision like marriage. suppose it is at the top of ur priority list then ur parnets shudnt have arranged this meeting,( Dont they know that this guy isnt that tall)
Dont take it offencive but I m jsut saying this coz girls r criticizing guys for these reasons. Majestic: Sooo sad .

A few years ago I had a rishta experience that I wont soon forget. The guy came from a very prominent family in Pakistan.
The ristha flew in with his parents. The mother really liked me and was already starting to talk about how she would take me shopping here, there and everywhere. It was the only thing she spoke about with me. I found her to be nice and friendly but I am not a shopper. When I spoke to the rishta, he would always ask me questions, and whenever I wouldnt give him an answer he wanted to hear, he'd keep asking me "but why". "But why dont you hike in the mountains? (I dont live near one.)" "But why dont you like to watch rugby." (They dont play it in america much.) "But why dont you like pools in a home?" (Its not safe.) etc. The thing he said that really surprised me was, "But why do you want to marry someone who is religious?" (What?!) He didnt seem that interested in what I liked, just wanted me to like what he liked.
After all that, the mother took me aside and stated to me that they are from a prominent family in Pakistan and that it would not be often that I get such a rishta due to my middle-classness. That was a shocker. She didnt tell my mom and dad that, just me. I found it somewhat offensive but stayed quiet.
They finally left, and to my surprise were still interested in me even months later. The mother tried to get other families to convince my parents to have me marry her son. I believe he is somewhere happily married, but talk about pressure.

lol @ the class system sermon!!! Munni if someone even dared to say something like that to me i'd personally decorate their faces with their own toenails!!! smile
hmmm…i havent had any experiences yet, however, my khala was incessantly pursued by some guy she was not interested in. He kept sending her flowers and candy-just wouldn’t stop-but she thought he was too wierd unfortunately, the guy she did end up, turned out to be a psycho and shes getting a divorce
moona-girl i can see where ur coming from.
While yes, looks aren’t the only thing in a marriage, and yes personality is a MAJOR factor, there also has to be an attraction, it has to be someone you can wake up next to everyday for the rest of ur lives. You can’t help what you find attractive and unattractive.
majestic- so sad abt ur cuz
PCBD- i know majestic hated that saying, but sometimes i really agree. with my experience with love so far, it would make me sooo happy to be with someone who loved me. hopefully in time, i would return it!
