Such an interesting series at times painful as these are real people
I am enjoying this series and find myself very much involved in what will happen next. Since I am not Indian, I did not understand the matchmaking aspect that is still very prevalent in the culture. It makes sense to me now as Sima provides a necessary service to find good matches for people who haven't met the right person...yet! The pressure to marry is more than uncomfortable at times. And the thought of moving into the husband's parents' house is unimaginable to western sensibilities. However in this particular episode this is the case with Akshay's and staying in his parent's home after marriage is inevitable, nothing short of expected. In his particular case, Picking the right bride is imperative because she'll marry not only the "boy" but his mother too! Yikes!
It was painful watching the meeting when the "girl" is presented. She's a CPA with a degree in accounting but so shy she has no idea what to say in front of the two families. It must be horrible to be judged so publicly. Akshay must also endure unflattering comments from his mother, in front of everyone, one of which that he is a "momma's boy!" Well whose fault is that!
Akshay has a nice relationship with a female cousin but has not made the transfer and figured out how to talk to his perspective bride. Maybe that's why he rejected over 100 proposals because he knew he didn't know what to say. I felt sorry for him. Later when they did have a chance to talk alone neither of them knew how to converse. Asking, what are you looking for in a life partner? Is not an ice breaker. So many of the other people in this series have had life experience and it shows in their confidence and how they carry and interact with others. These two have been terribly sheltered to the point of crippled.
They are to get married. The engagement came fast and the wedding within two weeks. One hopes they get to know each other before consummating the marriage or will that be the next thing his mother will demand a report? If they find it difficult to talk to each other how will they do THAT without dying of embarrassment?
I hope this couple finds happiness and is able to get comfortable. This is exactly the matchmaking experience that is so foreign to the west. It is one thing to be introduced and for the relationship to take its natural course but to be forced in an imposed unnatural time line seems cruel and unusual.
