Level 1• Lets consider the population of India as of

2.3%, Sikh 1.9%, other 1.8%, unspecified 0.1%
• OK guy seems to be happy that there are 80.5 % of hindu’s and he has great chances of getting his partner.
• Among 80.5 % only 35.2% are females. • And among 35.2% only 18% are eligible
for marriage (ie age bw 22 to 27)• Source:• http://www.indiaonlinepages.com/population/india-population.html • https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/in.html
Level 2• India itself is divided into 5 parts• South, North, East, West and
Middle.• So lets divide the 9% by 5• 9/5= .18% are hindu’s in south India• Guy still happy that he has 0.18x
1,150,000,000/100=2,070,000 girls to see.
Level 3South India
• South India has again 4 states, Since the guy wants kannadiga:
• Lets divide the no by 4 again: 2,070,000/4=5,17,500
• So the guy is happy that 5Lakh is still a good number.
• Now those who are only engineers are just 8%.
• Now its reduced to 41,400
Level 4
• Guy now starts thinking that the no. has reduced but managing to be happy that there are 41,400 to watch out for.
• India has around 70 sub-castes in Hindu s only.(Actually more than that !!!)
• 41400/70=
Levels 5
• 41400/70=591.42 Approx(600)• So finally we found out 600
brahmin eligible girls for the guy.• But wait again brahmin’s have
sub caste’s of 15(again more than that, but lets not disappoint the guy :p) .
• Ok so we have come up with a number i.e 41 girls who are really eligible for his caste.
Level 6
• Now that all the caste criteria is met. Here comes the guys criteria.
• Good looking well 41/5= 9 girls(apprx) :p
• Now good height. Ok 9-4= 5 girls.• Out of these 5, parents don’t like 2.• So the guy is given a option to select
among the 3.• Finally he chooses 1.
Level 7
• Chooses one and gets married.• But wait !!!! he again forgot the
criteria like,• Understanding, caring, loving
etc:• And the girl sorry now his wife
says”WTF you should have thought about that before! you J**K A**”
• “Happy ending ”
Love marriage
• Level 1:– Convince your parents
• Level 2:– Convince girls parents
• Level 3:– Get married
• “ Happy ending ”
Summary :D• The best part in love marr is the guy
can choose the girl among 2,000,000 eligible desi girls ;)
• Arrange marr will satisfy only the parents criteria, rest is called compromise.
• Now its upto you , which way to go.
• If you want to convey this to anyone pls fwd and express your love
