Eligible Bachelors

Twenty One. There are a lot of things you can do when you're twenty one. You're legally allowed in most states to purchase alcohol (not that being underage stops anyone), and for those desperate few, you can also get married.
To get married, you need a girl. However, finding one is not easy. In order to help my friends (and myself) out, I've put together the following profiles. These profiles are ready-to-use for any popular marriage portal.

For most of us:

H'SOME (like I'd say otherwise - beauty is in the eye of the beholder) boy 21/5'blahblah/to-be-confirmed-not-yet-placed-you-see P.A. Studying in NITK. Prospective Btech looking for b'ful, qualified girl (NO. Actually I'd like an ugly, uneducated dimwit but if you insist I'd settle for the others). Preferably single. Must meet mummy's QC. Interested parties may contact: imsokewlimgay@blahblah.com

For the picky (read raving lunatics) few:

EXCELLENT (Compared to what? The devil is in the detail) boy 21/whatever/not-to-be-disclosed-this-isn't-about-selling-myself P.A. Studying in prestigious college. Prospective Btech looking for conservative and homely girl. Manglik needn't apply. Pure brahmin heritage essential (on both sides - I'm not going to be short-changed). Height less than mine (I'm in control, not you - nyah nyah). Subversive attitude must. Girls who can't cook needn't bother applying. Interested parties may contact: male_supremist@blahblah.com

The Person Sitting Next To You

The next time you take a bus/train/flight, take a little care to observe those sitting around you. Chances are you'll learn a lot. Little things like how they speak, what they wear and how they treat others can tell you a lot about their character. The different ways in which people behave amidst others is fascinating to watch. Small gestures such as eye movement, seating posture and facial expressions give away a lot. An overtly expressive person is in all likely-hood short of confidence. A beautiful woman in the midst of a crowd understandably alters things to a great extent. Most people try and steal covert glances when they think she isn't looking. The more intellectual ones (those that pride themselves as being above such base passions) try and busy themselves with a book/newspaper. A classic way of avoiding social contact is the cellphone. Its very simple to make yourself look busy by typing at random.
I would love to travel with people who aren't evasive. Openness, warmth and good humor make for lively conversations. Maybe the next time you travel, a friendly glance will make the trip seem a lot shorter.
