This is a profile for our daughter, who is left-handed (anyone who has a problem with this may skip this profile altogether) . A post graduate in English from Delhi University, she has just switched to a news website job after working for eight years as a reporter in one of the biggest newspapers in Delhi. She has always been a good student without being bookish and did very well throughout. She is an alumnus of one of the most coveted schools in Delhi. We don't much care about horoscopes and she doesn't have one. Nonetheless, we have no problems with those who do believe. For them, here are the birth details of our daughter: DoB 23/2/85, PoB Kolkata, ToB 6.40 p.m.
We are a comfortably placed kayastha kulin family based in south delhi and with origins in East Bengal. The entire extended families on both my and my wife's side are well educated. We do put a premium on good schools, colleges and institutes.
We are looking for a groom from a similar background in terms of... more education, broadmindedness, and the wider horizon that education ought to bring. We are the kind of people who treat those less fortunate with kindness and not arrogance. Our daughter's ideal partner should be someone with cerebral interests outside his field of work, and who is well read and has a liberal worldview.
As parents we are only administering this profile and will be only a catalyst between our daughter and any prospective groom. We would prefer that after the first contact is made through us (and/or the prospective groom or his parents), the boy and girl should talk and decide whether they want to take this forward. As parents we will step aside and let them take whatever decision they go in for.
