# 17 Matrimonial Preference There was a time when I used to carefully scan matrimonial advertisements, not to look for a wife but just to find out what others were looking for in their life partners. I gave up wasting my time on them many years ago. When I casually glance at them I am surprised to find they are dividing the categories by caste, profession and nationality. The latest categorization has been brought to my attention by T.R Rishi; apparently living in South Delhi has acquired status of acceptability. Three ads from The Hindustan Times state clearly “residing in South Delhi”. Preference for South Delhities.” One adds a clarification “affluent South Delhi family”. |

# 22 THE MOURNER A man placed some flowers on the grave of his dearly departed mother and started back toward his car when his attention was diverted to another man kneeling at a grave. The man seemed to be praying with profound intensity and kept repeating, "Why did you have to die? Why did you have to die?" The first man approached him and said, "Sir, I don't wish to interfere with your private grief, but this demonstration of pain is more than I've ever seen before. For whom do you mourn so deeply? A child? A parent?" The mourner took a moment to collect himself, and then replied, "My wife's first husband." |
