Our plan for Wednesday was to see a play at Rangashankara! Unfortunately, I was so exhausted at work from our late nights and was not feeling well at all. So Jo went with Shruthi and friends and I passed out on the couch about an hour after I got home, sleeping straight through the night.
Before passing out though, Nani was reading me marriage advertisements from a Tamil magazine! They are quite the trip. 35 yr old MBA fair skinned Tamil Brahmin seeking girl, fair, MBA, good cook, Tamil Brahmin.
There are so many pages of these blurbs, all usually mentioning skin colour, caste and education level. I've heard impassioned defenses of arranged marriages while here, but it is so hard, after my Western upbringing, to believe that people find love through them.
