Chapter 21: chapter 21

Finally, I stumbled upon Shaadikamaal.com. Many reviews on the internet said that it was a genuine and a very useful website. I decided to make my account on it. I wrote shaadikamaal.com in the address bar of the browser and hit the enter button. Profiles of very beautiful girls appeared on the screen. My heart skipped a beat to see such beautiful girls. Spontaneously, I said, “Wow! Amazing! I didn’t see even one girl from the marriage bureau I hired and from the newspapers and here in the very beginning, I am able to see the girls! Paras was right. His idea was great!”When I clicked on one profile, I was surprised to see that that girl was a manager in a bank! I thought, “Not only the girl is gorgeous but also very intelligent! How fool I was when I was not even thinking about using the website! Let’s not waste the time any more now. Quickly, send a message, Mr Aman.”I clicked on the “Send Message” button. A message appeared on the screen “Buy our membership to send unlimited messages to any profile.” I said, “Oh! They are asking for money. Before paying money to them, let me see what kind of memberships they have.”The company offered Silver membership and Gold membership. The price of Silver membership was 4500 rupees for three months. But the company said that they were ready to give me Silver membership at a discounted price of 3000 rupees whereas they were ready to give Gold membership worth 6000 rupees at a discounted price of 4500 rupees. In Silver membership, I could see in the maximum 30 mobile numbers of any profiles I wanted within the period of three month whereas in the Gold membership, I could see 60 mobile numbers directly. In Gold membership, there was the privilege of special assistant by the company. But my mind was crystal clear about which membership to choose. My plan was simple “Pay the minimum amount.” Without giving second thought, I reached my decision and purchased Silver Membership. A message flashed on my mobile phone “Congratulations! Now you are eligible to send unlimited messages to any profile you want and you can see directly the mobile number of thirty profiles!”I said to myself, “Wow! Now, let’s see who can prevent me to find a good girl? There are lakhs of girls! I have unlimited choices! Yay!"I pressed on the “Search Bride” button and there I saw a button “Advanced Search”. I pressed the button. I was amazed to see the options in that. It was a perfect matrimonial search engine. Because in this search engine, we can filter the profiles age wise, interest wise, job wise, location wise, and who has created the profile wise and many other more options! I almost screamed, “Wow! It’s really great! It has become really very easy for me to search for my life partner now. I can also filter the results interests wise and job wise! It’s terrific!”At first, I searched in the bride section using advanced search engine using the filters that she must be from 20 years to 25 years old, she must be a government teacher from Punjab and she must be fluent in English. About fifty results appeared. “Wow! It’s very easy to find a good match here. I have found fifty best matches for me within two minutes. It’s the power of the internet!”Then I began to read their profiles and look at their snaps. Some profiles I rejected because the girl has too many brothers and sisters. Like some had two brothers and two sisters. I rejected because I don’t like big families. In big families, we have to shoulder too many responsibilities. Then I rejected some other profiles because I didn’t like the looks of some girls. In the end, I selected only ten profiles whom I was going to message. Then I spend about thirty minutes thinking about what to write in the message. After about thirty minutes, I wrote “Hi, how are you? Hope you are fine and doing well. I read your profile and I liked it very much. Please read my profile. I hope you will like my profile too. If you like my profile then please let me know. My whats app number is 1234567891. You can also directly contact on my whats app number. I am like an open book. You can ask me anything you like. I don’t mind anything. I am a very cool minded person. Hoping to hear from you soon.”I copied this message and sent to all of my chosen profiles. A very calm and beautiful smile appeared on my face. I thought, “Out of ten profiles, at least one will surely reply to my message.” I said to myself, “It was so simple. I never thought it could be so easy to find a life partner. I don’t know how I forgot, it’s 2022, we can use advance filters and any impossible task a possible one within a few seconds!” I kept my mobile phone aside, closed my eyes and stretched my arms. My face was glowing with happiness. My mom looked at me and said, “Today, you appear to be very happy! Which treasure have you found?”Aman – I haven’t found any treasure, mom. But still, I have nailed it!Mom – What you nailed!Aman – I have found the best way to find a life partner!Mom – Best way? Which best way? We have already hired a marriage bureau and you are also trying on newspapers.Aman – Those are nothing, mom. Those are waste. Today, I have found the best way. Mom – Then tell me which best way have you found? Aman – Today, I have made my account on a matrimonial website. It’s very easy to use and I found the ten best matches for myself within a few minutes!Mom said angrily, “How much did you pay?”Aman – Three thousand.Mom said furiously, “Three thousand! It’s too much!”Aman – Mom, it’s nothing! The whole India is using this website!Mom – People are fools and you are following them!(It will be so nice of you, if you leave at least a single word comment 🌺❇️🌹🌺❇️)
