Brief synopsis:

While most would love marrying for love, there are others who would like to place a safe bet on an arranged match that ticks all the boxes on their wish-list! Of course, what matters most is the compatibility of the two partners and the capacity and willingness to compromise on certain counts. Marriages are said to be made in Heaven! On planet Earth, the classifieds' columns in dailies also aid marriages by playing Cupid. Read on to discover how Kavita, a young and beautiful girl smitten by the Mills and Boon romances of yore; finds her match through the classified ads and leads her life....

 

‘The prospective groom is 27 years old, 6 ft. tall, very fair, handsome, works in an MNC in Kolkata and earns a six figure salary. Wanted very fair, slim, beautiful, cultured, professionally qualified, broad-minded, working girl. Caste no bar.’
Kavita examined the ad in the Times of India again.

     The energy, hope and enthusiasm in the air as we stroll on the streets are truly infectious and give us lots of positive vibes.
     The aura of the omnipresent Lord engulfs us in its warm and benevolent embrace as we forget all our worries and grievances and watch the displays; awe-struck and delighted!
     Some interesting displays are being shared here. Hope you enjoy them!

     Let's all vow to make this Earth a better place to live in. Let's nurture Mother Nature who bestows all her bounty on us, all the while. It's payback time now as we make her proud of us, by conserving natural resources and protecting and preserving the environment for our future generations!
