This week’s newsletter is inspired by a bio I saw on Shaadi.com which said “Love marriage is one of my biggest dreams in life, so I am hoping to fulfil that dream here”.

So, we try, but mostly fail, and admission of failure is the last thing we’ll do. Instead, we convince ourselves that we’ll still have a love marriage even if the world doesn’t think so.
