A billion dollar question.....
stuck up a good conversation with a friend of mine recently ...
hot topic ... controversial topic .... a topic thats very personal and deservs a little bit of analysis .....
the question posed was: Why in a billion people cant we find someone who matches our wavelength when we actually want to settle down !!!!! In short why on earth cant I find a single bandi among a billion who matches my quirks with hers and complements whatever good qualities I might have....
so here we go with the analysis !!!
pt. 1 --->
Requirements:
Female from a good maharashtrian brahmin family.
Preferably working. Other criteria to follow
Realistically speaking .... what wud be the % of maharashtrian brahmins of the total indian population ...0.2%
maharashtra thankfully has a much better guys vs women ratio ... that makes it 0.1%.
usme working women ....
wow I am really beginning to like these odds ...
but then we are a billion ... so that makes it 1,000,000 ... a whopping 1 mil !!!!
considering shaadi.com provides me with a list of 50 pages with profiles of 20 women each for this criteria ... thats a 1000 profiles that I have scanned.
probabaly pinged a score or so .... another score pinged me .... thats 40 profiles on shaadi.com
usmese 3 ko actually mila !!!!
Remember this is 3 women out of the 1000 scanned.
so going by the earlier calculation of 1 mil... and 3 off a 1000.
thats 0.3 % of 1 mil ....
3,000 possible matches.
Quite a huge database. .... But.......
Offline ... ive also met another 5 ...
and the key thing is im still writting this blog after meeting 8 women....
6 I rejected 2 rejected me ......
1 of those was interesting ... so 1 off 8 thats 12.5 %
12.5 % of 3000 = 375 women !!!!
so from an initial database of 1 mil .... I have 375 possible matches !!!!!
The odds are really increasing !!!!!
I should turn bi/gay !!!! At least then the odds will be for 750 !!!!!
Ooops .... all the above calculation got thrown out of the window !!!!
Forgot to account for married women !!!!!
So say 20% of the 375 (this is a guestimate) ...
75 !!! 75 possiblities !!!!!
What the FUCK !!!!!!
pt.2:
This is where it gets tricky !!!!
lets consider the filterd database of 3000 as the sample space !!!
now the female needs to have a lot of other intangible qualities ...
All this stuff is pretty much relative and differs from person to person ...
but few common things:
Below is a list of personally what I wud look for... Ignore if not interested !!!!
a. for lack of a better word .... "aghau" nasavi ..... non marathi speaking ppl ... please get in touch with someone who does, for the translation.
b. should be able to cope with a slightly workaholic guy ....
YES ... I will be arround to perform whatever duties are required off a husband !!!
c. me cant talk much ... can listen though ... and listen good ... so should be willing to live with it...
If you want me talking ... please DONT make the mistake of giving me booze !!! I shut up and stay quite !!!!
d. Good sense of humor.
e. Certain degree of independence in thought

All this stuff is pretty much relative and differs from person to person ...
but few common things:
- Respect for the Family. I dont mean this in the Corleone / Soprano family genre.
- Respect for the other person as a spouse and friend
- Decent looking ... presentable
- Should be of a matching (or at least upwardly convertable) standard of living.
- If standard of living needs to be turned down .... then that should be acceptable too... in short jaada nakhra nahi!!!
