Meet your life partner
I am sure most of you, whether single or married, would have gone through the website atleast once. So, this article is not of much help (Oh no!) to those of you. But, welcome debutants who are yet to discover the new heaven on earth. Here is a brief outline of the Shaadi.com website.
The homepage is excellent in its structure, providing the option of searching your soulmate from any religion, community or country. You can either register straightaway (which you have to ultimately, if you want to access more people) or browse through a few pages, to see if interests you. Every profile has information about the person who posted it, about the person itself, their family and most importantly the expectations of their preferred partner (see whether you fit or not).
Oops, I forgot to tell, many profiles have pictures of the person (sometimes a whole album!!) So, you can actually see them even before you read their profile(or move on to the next).
Make the best use of it
The website serves not only the genuine ones who are searching for a everlasting partner, but also those who want to make friends and have some good time. Though the bait of free registration sucks you into the pool, ultimately it makes you a fool, because it comes with very few features like getting to see a sea of unmarried(mostly) bachelors or bachelorette and expressing your interest. But if you are genuinely interested in one of the two, that I earlier mentioned, then there is no option other than becoming a premium member. The price is very negligible in that you are about to find your other half (soul mate) in here. You can choose various types of premium membership with regards to length of contract, highlighting of your profile and showing your profile in the most visited locations. With premium membership you can talk to your partners and send personalised emails and much more. Here’s some advice to those who are only looking for a friend not a lifelong partner. My suggestion is to go with profiles posted by ’self’ and those with no or few lines about family and preferred partner.
My Shaadi experience
No, I didnt find my partner in Shaadi, no. Because, I am still have to enjoy the life you see. But, my experience of Shaadi was actually my friend’s experience. My friend searched several websites, but to no avail. Ultimately, he found himself in the Shaadi heaven, where he found his lifelong partner waiting for him and only him. They now chat and phone evey day and despite their separation by distance and time (he stays in phorein seven seas away from home). They are about to get married next month and kudos to Shaadi.com, who made it possible. He has recommended me to follow his route. In fact, he is already looking one for me (Oh no.. let me first enjoy life yaar!!).
Pluses of Shaadi
#The only site with so many options to choose like community, religion and country. It has the most members among the matrimonial sites.
#Regular update - There is information as to when the other person was last online. This shows how serious is the person.
#The success stories section is very inspirational and makes you feel that you have come to the right place to search your lifepartner.
#It provides with options like chat or voicemail, through which you can directly be in touch with the person your choice.
#Help not just in finding your partner, but even in arranging the shaadi itself - finding the choultry and shopping for accessories.
#For those of you who are worried about security of your details, it is absolutely safe in the hands of shaadi. Even the photos cannot be copied. Your details not given away easily to any stranger.
#There is a scoring called ’Activity Factor’ to show how earnestly the person replies to interests showed or messages sent. This also gives an idea as to how important Shaadi is for him.
#It is a boon to families who are isolated in distant areas in different parts of the world, where members of their community or religion are very hard to come by.
Minuses
It is not free. But none of the sites are. You got the pay the price for everything in life dude.
