Looking for ideas for my weekly Metro Now column on the foibles of mankind, I saw a feature story about how increasing numbers of Indian men want their brides to be like the women they see on TV soaps. Apparently, in matrimonial ads around the country, eager young bachelors are putting in specifications that read: “She should be like Tulsi in Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi or Saloni in Saat Phere� (this is of course in addition to the usual “traditional yet modern, fair but homely, virgin yet whore� litany).
Jabberwock imagines the qualities that the average Indian male is now looking for in his life-partner.
