NEW DELHI: A 26-year-old American tourist travelling in India hitched a ride in a rickshaw last week and married the driver a few days later, a report said Friday.
Whitney from Chicago met her prince charming in Jaipur in Rajasthan, a state west of the capital famous for its stately palaces, after hailing a motorised rickshaw and hiring the driver for her stay in the city, the Mail Today newspaper said.
‘On the third day, he surprised me by popping the question,’ Whitney told the paper.
‘‘I want to spend the rest of my life with you’, he told me. I fell in love.’
After meeting last Saturday they were married on Wednesday in a simple ceremony. Whitney was pictured in the paper, standing with new husband Harish Hotala, wearing a traditional sari that covered her head.
The paper said Hotala was ‘a cabbie with a difference,’ however. ‘Though a school dropout, he is fluent in English and owns three autorickshaws,’ it said.
Whitney, whose surname wasn’t given by the paper, is to fly back to the US on September 30 to face her parents.
‘My father was surprised but my mother took it sportingly,’ she said.
Urm, this is not what the thread is about. So why don't you go to those other threads dedicated to this topic and post there...
An Aryan is a person from Iran. That's where Iran also has it's name from. Don't know why Indians like to think that they are Aryans though.
Thanks ....
As regards to `Aryanism' ,though it has got nothing to do with this thread,the word `Aryan' itself came from Sanskrit.So I doubt if Iran is the only place that can be connected to `Aryanism'.
Ofcourse Iran is one of the places influenced by `Aryanism'.
