Surely, you think I mean Dulhan, which is Hindi for Bride. Nopes, I exactly mean Duh-lans. If you haven’t heard the noun before, dont worry, I just coined it.

define: “Duh-lan”
Duh-lan : noun, Bride of an In-duh-vidual.

If you dont know who an In-duh-vidual is, then you should probably go die. And unless you dont belong to any religion which have ceremonial daggers for committing honourable suicides, here’s the Dilbert Newsletter which explains it all.

Coming back to Duh-lans.
I have a profile on one of the leading Matrimonial sites which was recently featured in the Limca book of records. They claim to have the biggest database and likewise, success rates. One might expect that this profile one create is about making oneself as appealing to the preferred audience as possible. Is it too much to expect that one will do a spell (and/or) grammar check while submitting the profile. Sadly, from the newsletter that comes every other day, all I can see wannabe Duh-lans.

Here are some Duh-lans describing themselves:

“I like to make new friends, i have also feelings towards my best friends & i am very frenk with my firends. I wants my life partner who can care me as well. I like to do job because i want to help my family. I am from middle class family. I want that type of life partner who can understand me & always help me in my bed situation.“

“I LIKE WORK I AM VERY TRUE ALL ARE FRIEND HI HELLO EVERY THING IS OK”

“We are doing my business. We are a joint family.”

“my pat name is tomy she is whary cute i am loveing him whary mach.”

“all life with me my friends and all life prey for god“

and there are some with mixed preferences:

“my family has happy and she entry to very happy”

(yes, there are boys filling up bride profiles also, I put them in Duh-lan category for benefit of doubt)

You might be thinking that I am making all the above things up, no as much I’d like the credit, I’m not this creative. And I have proof that I received all of them in Newsletters, thankfully in Gmail, I never throw a mail away. :)

Desire 2: Nimmo will be a Dulhan and not a Duh-lan.

PS: I have nothing against these females. They are going to make some in-duh-vidual very happy some day.
