Finalising a Marriage Proposal(It happened with me in 2009 ;))

Arranged marriage decisions.... If you are a bachelor who is about to marry but never been in love or not met a girl of ur life which your parents have not approved for yourself then believe me my friends your tough times of decision making are about to start.It happened with me also, as I too belonged to the category of human being that didn't fall in love before marriage so when my parents decided that it's high time that I had my joy of freedom since last 10 + years and would need to settle down ; then and there my advertisment was out in Matrimonials section of Times Of India. And friends that advertisment was given not once but thrice during a gap of several weeks as my one time publicity could not excite the readers of Times of India who were seeking a marriage alliance for their daughters(so 3 times).
My father's Gmail was flooded with emails from all across North India and he bacame very busy in my match making via Kundali software, made a file of all the girl's bio-datas which I at that time didnt knew would be shown to my would be wife one day. This process resulted in myself meeting and going for a one-to-one session with 8 girls(obviously in the presence of the parents from both sides ;) ) over a period of few months.I along with my family at that time had the pleasure of meeting the girl's family in places like MacDonald's(twice), Mall(twice), at the girl's uncle residence(once), restaurants(thrice) and had the chance to see girls from Faridabad(1), Delhi(2), Agra(1), Lucknow(2), Allahabad(1) and one more city whose name time has washed away from my mind.
At the end of all meetings I came up with many questions that can help the readers of this post going for such meetings : 1. Would you like to work after marriage or be at home? 2. My parents would be staying with me after their retirement. Are you comfortable with it? 3. Do u know cooking? 4. Ur hobies/interests, 5. Any thing that u would like to tell me about urself 6. Being into IT industry, I might get an opportunity to work in any city other than in which I am currently living -  R u ok with it? 7.Few quick questions which I could have remembered from her biodata, 8. Try to figure out her nature from talks, 9.Tell her a lot about yourself your likes and dislikes and u can hint her of ur bad habits in case u have some 10.What u expect her from her and what she expects from you after marriage.Rest sky is the limit as one can think of many more question which can be effective in such matrimonial discussions/sessions as it is a matter of two individual's life.So my best wishes for all those who are going for arranged marriage and hoping that this post might be a l'll stress buster for those working on weekends as well in addition to provinding some help in decision making to some extent if nt much ;).
