Tht ws really fun to read...cant believe getting ur kid married to the "right" boy is still such a big deal. I'm not tamilian but wud u believe I'm close friends with about 10...most of them are mixes tho as in tam/srilankan, tam/malaysian and even tho they've been outside/never been to their country..they tell me they are prepared for an arranged marriage (somewhat)...its v weird..but i guess its culture.
