My Sundays are very eventfull calling up people in india and asking them about their daughters. I 'd never have thought in my wildest dreams that i would be doing this anyways spoke to some very interesting characters with their perception of sri lanka.
I only said these words : Good morning i am calling your about so and so's horoscope from colombo
Bridal Dad 1 : Sri lanka, no no way. it wont work for us. (slams phone)
Bridal dad 2 : Sri lanka, how is the war situation there, do u have electricity. (mind u i already explained i am from colombo. after explaining whatever i knew the man was nice enough to say NO WAY)
Bridal dad 3 : Colombo we watch in the news all the time, do u guys have food to eat... ( i am not kidding here)
Bridal dad 4 : its very far away we have to discuss with our family for long time and tell u reply (long time man take your time)
Bridal Mum 5 : well we are a mix (meaning mixed caste) but not interested in sri lanka.
Bridal dad 6 : so u guys have your own house (hemm yeah dad does). So u mean to say they have enough money saved up to buy a house ( WTF is that question)
By this time i am slowly tiring myself out. I am tired of trying to sound friendly and beginning to sound desperate. It seems like i have turned it into a project where i want to finish it like a fairy tale .... and soon tooo........
The hunt continues...
