How is the response to the advertisement,
asked my husband who had placed an advertisement for a bride for
our son.
Not too encouraging, I’m afraid, I said
rather disappointed at the poor response we had in the past few
weeks.
We shouldn’t have asked for a software
professional, I said. Nowadays, girls want to come out of their
graveyard shifts and work during the day, I said.
But you forget that there is a lot of money
in it. You have to choose between making a fast buck and a
comfortable life, he said.
I know, but Karthik is refusing to change his
mind. He says he wants to get married only to a software
professional even if it means spending less time with each
other, I said.
But I thought a newly married couple needs
time to understand each other. How can they do so when they are
hardly together, said my husband.
But Karthik is sure he will make time for her
and he thinks what is important is quality time spent. There is
no arguing with him, I said. He says he is very progressive and
far ahead of his times.
What makes him think he is, said my husband.
He says he wants to be a House Husband! The
words sounded strange even to my ears.
