Another tradition of our country is that, when a family looking for a daughter in law for them, they go to the several houses where they can find beautiful girls for their ugly looking sons. They want tall, fair and slim girl for them no matter how ugly looking son they have. The way girls are being presented in front of them is quite ridiculous.
Sometimes she is being interviewed if she can be a great cook, dhoban(laundress) and other services that she may offer. And most of the families find it as a hobby, they go to see girls houses pretending to see a daughter in law and are being served with so many food items, next day they go to see another girl.
When some people came to see me, it was a great experience for me I enjoyed it thoroughly. The lady who was supposed to be my mother-in-law was a huge lady.
I had no idea what to say, all I knew was I have to give an interview, so I gave it as if it was a job interview. I tried to be more confident but later I realized confident girls are being rejected often by these kind of families as they can be a bigger threat for them in future.
Obviously I felt bad when no response came from them for a long time. But I realized I was too good for them. My request to the girls who has to go through this phase is that please don’t be dishearted and be confident enough.
