shubha vishwa

The quest for the decent girl with low expectations continues.. Last month, me & dad, we went to this vadhu var chusak mandal called Shubha Vishwa located around laxmi road, pune. These people used to 'specialize' in NRI clientele but it is said that the overseas market is in recession & the recovery, as it is with global business, will only start with domestic 'demand'. The layout & mechanism of the place can only be conceived in Pune. The office is a two room apartment, one room for the girls & one for the guys. Only eligibles & there parents are allowed inside. I had been to another mandal at Dadar so I did not expect much crowd but it was filled to the brim ! Each of the two rooms has some seating & tables. It also has a huge rack(!) where big red registers were kept. There is something with punekars & books/registers of Any kind, you can see that love right from the streets at abc-appa balwant chowk to the british council library which boasts of lending the maximum number of books this year against any other centers in the world ! One of these big red registers is an index register which keeps updated short info of the girls like date of birth, height, education, city etc. This index entry points to another register where detailed info & hot pictures ;) are kept. So we took out a pen & pad & got started on the index register. Initially I got interested, I had the 'filter' criteria figured out as I had been doing it on the net. But this was different & there were no hot pictures so the registers had me bored in no time. Sometime later, I got thirsty so I went to the 'girls' room where a water pot was kept. I found all girls & parents with their heads buried in their registers, as if they'd find some diamond or something ! . Now in the process of keeping the glass back, I dropped it which made a big noise. All of the them looked up right then. "He looks nothing like the photo", one of them whispered, to that, I just smiled at them & went back ...home.
