How do you find love, very interesting question a) your workplace b) Some close friends friend c) In a social gathering What if nothing like that happens. a) You have very dull people in your workplace. None worth your attention. Those who you like are married and not committing b) To meet people you have to socialize what if that is not happening You have matrimonial site. Sites like these give you option to find your “match” by entering your search criteria. Clicking a button and the result is list of prospective brides/grooms. The idea of registering and using a matrimony site took a lot of time. But now it has started to sink in. The site I am writing review about is Tamil matrimony. It’s a “child”, if I can call that of Bharatmatrimony. Bharatmatrimony has sub branches like telegu, gujarati etc. This site is for those who are seriously in to finding grooms/bride on the net. Different from a common dating sites where you have funny usernames and ids. What I like about the site a) They claim to have a huge database. Approximately 1 lakh something b) The is easily navigable and easy to understand c) You can become a free member of this site d) The profiles that I have found seem to be genuine e) The offline help provided by site is great. It has offices across India; you can call up in case you need help. For e.g. my dad called them up for a payment issue, for which they responded almost immediately. The functionalities provided by the site a) Search – you can enter your search criteria and get list people of your choice. Believe me there are few good ones b) Messages – If you like someone you can send him/her message. This service requires you to be a paid member. The fees is around 500 for 3 months. c) Profile – You can build in your profile like name, nakashatra, rasi etc. etc. Upload photo/horoscope. d) There is an option to protect your photo, so that everyone does not see it. e) You have regular email alerts. The whole process if I can summarize is You register Create a profile for yourself People can see “find you” and M2M (MS terminology) you or vice versa. So people who are in look for brides/grooms can register to this site and find a match. I have come across few parents who register their children here and are using it so site can be called a modern day matchmaker. A work generally handled by oldies in the family.
