… these services allow the two people concerned to meet first, online and then in person. Before the families barge in with questions about each other’s caste and comunity. Perhaps, this gives the two time to get to know each other and make a decision – even the decision to not go ahead. Which I am guessing (and from I have seen) is tough to make in a conventional boy-meet-girl situation. meet each other twice, and try squirming out after that (especially if you have met alone, i.e. discounting the girl’s brother who was lurking on the next tavle at the coffee shop pretending not to listen).
Charu wonders if the time-honoured tradition of matchmaking has come full circle.
