I'll try again - Manoj amd his bride

It's quite simple. His father decides when it is time for Manoj to marry. He thought last year was right. So he (the father) then started thinking and searching for an apt mate. He found one. Manoj showed me her picture on a walk last year. I asked her name. He didn't know. That one failed because Manoj is short and she was tall.

Then he (the fathr) remembered a friend he had gone to schoolwith many years ago. This man had a daughter. Was she available? Was she a Christian? Could the two men meet? They did in Calcutta last month. It was agreed.

So - no picture this time. Had to pause to remember her name. Met her once many years ago. The wedding date is Nov. 20.

And they will probably live happily ever after.
