I had a friend who was a ladies man but then became very religious. He wanted to marry to guard himself. But was not well settled into his career and his parents wanted him to concentrate a bit on career. But due to his pressure they asked people to look for matches though his mother was actually did not want to marry him. Being a family friend me and my family were asked.
We showed a few rishtas and funny how his mother commented and rejected them.
So one girl, she said, no her colour is not white enough. The second, she said, they are ansari,
“oo tey Julahey hondey ney, asi nahiN julayaaN wich kerna”
Then there was the third girl, who was very white, belonged to same caste, but she wore prescription glasses and what aunty jee said cracked me up,
“odi tey nazar eni kamzoor ae, dewaraaN no hath pa pa turdi ae”
I don't blame anyone for wanting certain qualities in their partner or child's partner. But i think there should be a limit to everything. Now every individual has to draw their own limit depending on their priorities. If one chooses to be as picky as in the above scenerio, then i am sure they wl have to give up on something else in order to gain on the fair complexion, perfect eyesight, etc. There are no perfect packages, sooner one realises that the better.
When Aunti Ji saw that the really really gori chitti girl wears prescription glasses…her Punjabi response/refusal would be translated as : “Her eyesight is so weak that she must grab on to the walls (for support) when she walks”
WHAT!!!! LOL.......how the hell does she have spunk? She sure got a sense of humor though......but she ain't got no spunk. That ain't even the right word. She's turning down girls..left, right, and center.....because she's simply either afraid to get her son married of or is not ready to. Her heart isn't in it.....and she's finding excuses to not go through with it. That's not spunk. That's avoidance.
HAHAHAHAH Man LOLLLLLLLL
