Alright, it’s 9pm on a Friday night. Got my chai ready & about to start watching #IndianMatchmaking. Have successfully avoided memes & conversations about the show (thanks grieving process!) - so am going into this pretty blind. Let’s gooooo.

oh. 20 seconds in and I feel attacked.

Why didn’t akshay brush his hair.

omg seema taparia is what every rishta aunty aspires to be

I see that this will be exclusively upper caste Hindu matchmaking.

DID THAT WOMAN JUST EAT TOMATOES OFF THE PiZZA??

Is aparna looking for a man or a pair of pants? “They must fit into your life”

Aparna is every South Asian girl I have avoided in my life my god.

I agree, a guy should know that Bolivia has salt flats

who is this boy who makes jewelry and can cook??

he has liquid nitrogen in his home?

150 rishtas for this boy in a year?!?

Ok Pradhyuman’s criteria isn’t bad but that boy is not being honest about what he wants

Tall & Fair - an Indian matchmaking story

“I fill my time so I don’t sit and realize about how single I am”

Netflix’s algorithm is waging a war on me

Ohhhhh she’s Guyanese and presenting Indian indentured servitude as.. voluntary work? Wut.

Oh Aparna’s mom. Oh it makes sense. Oh my god.

The height thing is SO BIZARRE. I’ve experienced this as well - I’m 5’2 and every rishta aunty my mom has tried to work with has asked that we round up my height to 5’4/5’5.

(We don’t)
