Looking for an IITian bridegroom? Well, the starting price is 20 L.
This is what one of my friends told me recently. Her parents are looking for a husband for her, and these are the market rates. It doesn't matter that the girl herself is an IITian, having just completed her dual degree course at IIT Kharagpur with me. Apparently, IITian girls are still not worth a dime. Makes me feel real glad that mine is gonna be a love marriage and S. and his family are such awsome people, so there is no question of dowry here. But then, I know I would have called off the marriage if this had not been the case.
I don't understand. You can forgive parents for being old fashioned, but what if a person from your own generation tells you that just because you also are an IITian, it doesn't mean that you are better than other girls. What the hell is wrong with us?
No, let me rephrase that. WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH US?????
With this mentality, how is an IITian boy any different from a roadside whore, and his parents from pimps? At least, even those women do it to feed their bellies. Does an IITian not earn enough to support himself, his new wife, and his parents on his own? What, then, is the motivation to sell themselves this way?
