The Arranged Marriage Wake-Up Call
I’m 29, single, and living in Bangalore. I’ve been working in IT consulting for nearly 6 years. I joined my current org straight out of college. After over 5 years of client timesheets, 4 appraisal cycles, and 1 promotion, my salary stands at 14 LPA.
Recently, my parents started looking for matches in the arranged marriage market. Sounds like a normal phase? It’s not.
The conversations with families were a brutal wake-up call. They made it painfully clear how far behind I am I thought having a stable job at a reputed global MNC would matter. My raw CTC? Don’t ask. I’ve spent years working hard, logging billable hours
Ladki ladka kharid na ka market ko arrange marriage bolte he, apni aukat dekh ke loge to kuch nahi hoga, mehenga kharid ne jaoge to shop se hi jalil karke vaga denge, tum jise brutal truth bol rahe ho, ameer log wase shadi har sal winter Mein karte he or hal sal aise hi karte he
Good wake up call though man, your salary is less for BLR. Time to switch it up a little?
It's happened with girls too now
