Just like other hotels, the daily newspaper was delivered to the room. The paper is called 'The Hindu'. India's national newspaper since 1878. As a good Canadian, I turned to the sports section to see if there might be a small update on the hockey playoffs. Would it surprise you when I say, "Nope!" :D
I did find a section of the paper quite interesting to read. The classifieds - life made simple. The advertising on one of the pages caught my eye.
Out of an 18 page paper, three pages of the paper were dedicated to these particular adds...

Mostly the comments in the adds were:
- Fair, handsome, good looking
- Well settled family
- Professionally qualified
- Good income
- Clean habits
- Good natured who respects family
It appears that parents want the same things for their kids regardless of culture. I wonder how you make an inquiry about the veracity of the advertisement when you see comments like this, 'earlier marriage lasted less than 120 days'.
