The matches I found on these matrimonial sites were good, representable, but the reality behind them is very different from what they appear to be on the outside.
I’m Sherry, I want to share my experience with these abominable dating/marriage websites. I started off with India’s most popular marriage websites, but ended up search with a dating site.

I’m Sherry, I want to share my experience with these abominable dating/marriage websites. I started off with India’s most popular marriage websites, but ended up search with a dating site.
The matches I found on these websites were good, representable, but the reality behind them is very different from what they appear to be on the outside.
I met this guy on the most popular website was a definition of problematic. He used to masturbate looking at my pictures, and he had that audacity to tell it to me on my face.
He was rich that’s what he told me, may be because he thought he could allure me by showing off his father’s wealth, so he directly asked me not to work after marriage because he has this huge business to look after.
So not only was he a creep, he wanted me to leave my career and look after his business casually; as if I’m some puppet rounded around his little finger.
And above all the way he talked to me was so authoritative that I felt disgusted, and besides he was a misogynist.
I met him on one of the oldest matrimonal website this country has known, which also happens to be one of the most frequented places by parents looking for a match for their kids.
He pretended to be a sweet Bengali guy; a perfect image of the boy next door. He was the sweetest in the beginning, but later he turned out to be my biggest nightmare.
Not only that, but he proposed to me, and said everything nice to me so that we can have a life together, a beautiful life, and despite me being cautious I fell into his trap, after all that’s what matrimonial sites are for!
He left me after 6 months of dating just because I said ‘NO’ to him and I denied his request of sending him nudes.
He said to me while breaking up that we are better off as friends, I don’t see a wife in you.
I was shattered, like literally shattered because after ages I felt good being in a relationship, it was because I was with him! But I didn’t know then that he would be so toxic.
Anyway now I’m over him.
I met him in the dating site which boasted about catering to people looking for future spouses. We started on a good note, I wouldn’t say an excellent note but yes on a good note. He used to ask me those weird questions whether I like sex or not.
I always gave him a benefit of doubt, seeing my history with men. I thought maybe it’s important for him, but when we chatted for the first time, he started off with the kinky texts.
Again I gave him the benefit of doubt, then it happened for the second time— he apologized, and I gave him the benefit of doubt again!
By the way, I denied every time his requested for phone sex because I didn’t actually know him that well in the first place.
For a few days he went MIA, missing in action, then one day all of a sudden he called and said, “Baby, how are you? I want our relationship to be the best one!”
And I was like, what relationship, “We hardly talked twice and in that too he was all about sex?” I was infuriated.
Hence, I confronted him, and then he was like, “Baby come to me let’s make love,” verbatim, he said this on call. And my mind went what a psycho he is.
I don’t even know him as a person, and he’s reacting as if he has known me since ages.
As much as I wanted to break things in anger, I controlled myself and blocked him immediately. I had no choice left, and also I had to take medicine for anxiety after this episode.
It seems like my life is a roller coaster ride, and it’s short of all decent men.
Here’s my experience about some of the shittiest people I met on these websites that I met till date. I only want to say that please don’t fall into love traps or thirst traps anyway.

Rajshri Deshpande, who played the fiery protagonist in Trial by Fire along with Abhay Deol speaks of her journey and her social work.
Rajshri Deshpande as the protagonist in ‘Trial by Fire’, the recent Netflix show has received raving reviews along with the show itself for its sensitive portrayal of the Uphaar Cinema Hall fire tragedy, 1997 and its aftermath.
The limited series is based on the book by the same name written by Neelam and Shekhar Krishnamoorthy, who lost both their children in the tragedy. We got an opportunity to interview Rajshri Deshpande who played Neelam Krishnamoorthy, the woman who has been relentlessly crusading in the court for holding the owners responsible for the sheer negligence.
Rajshri Deshpande is more than an actor. She is also a social warrior, the rare celebrity from the film industry who has also gone back to her roots to give to poverty struck farming villages in her native Marathwada, with her NGO Nabhangan Foundation. Of course a chance to speak with her one on one was a must!
“What is a woman’s job, Ramesh? Taking care of parents-in-law, husband, children, home and things at work—all at the same time? She isn’t God or a superhuman."
The arrays of workstations were occupied by people peering into their computer screens. The clicks of keyboard keys were punctuated by the occasional footsteps moving around to brainstorm or collaborate with colleagues in their cubicles. Most employees went about their tasks without looking at the person seated on either side of their workstation. Meenakshi was one of them.
The thirty-one-year-old marketing manager in a leading eCommerce company in India sat straight in her seat, her eyes on the screen, her fingers punching furiously into the keys. She was in a flow and wanted to finish the report while the thoughts and words were coming effortlessly into her mind.
Natu-Natu. The mellifluous ringtone interrupted her thoughts. She frowned at her mobile phone with half a mind to keep it ringing until she noticed the caller’s name on the screen, making her pick up the phone immediately.
