cultural differences galore.
it looks like the Indian advt is focussed on a longer term objective than the american counterpart. But thats just my opinion.
Lee: I also thot the same (both the points)
Another One: In India this (ad) is published by parents !!
Saranyan,
Long term - One would wish.
But these days...we see and read about increasing divorce rates in India as well....!
Jagan,
Sorry about the confusion.!
Americans do advertise like this in internet and newspapers...for dating...and then some get married as well.
The postings are from Craigslist and Sulekha.
Me,
Yeah...I agree its parents / elders in the family.
Is this meant to be be some kind of a joke? I mean are these people seriously advertising or is this a joke...pretty unusual otherwise.
Hmmmm....interesting post! Quite eye-opening really, how people adapt the english language and express themselves better yonder in the US! :)
Good one :)
By the way, I tried emailing you the wedding invite you asked but email bounced back. Can you give me an alternate email address ?
amrita,
These are actual postings from
www.craigslist.com and www.sulekha.com
Ravi, Funny isn't it.
Last Blogger: I've fixed the emailid in my profile. FYI my id is venkitunarayanan@sbcgloba.net.
I look forward to your invite.
Classic illustration of the cultural differences.
Seems like, the Indian posts are so far out into the future, they forgot the here and now..and the American ones, well, just the opposite.
Serious case of "vechcha kudumi, seracha mottai" looks like...
Daph. You said it sir.
