She was
smart and highly qualified.
ABC Wednesday- J
Her family
wanted to get her married. Everyone’s concern was that she will be 40 soon and
that her biological-clock was ticking.
40 was
still some years away. But, she was sick and tired of the way people
exaggerated & hounded her...
Made her
wish she could just disappear to some place far away...
“Main
hoon hi nahin is duniya ki!”
(I don’t belong to this world) She sang a Hindi-movie song.
It was her
life and she wanted to live it her own way. They wanted her to start a new life and set up her own home.
But, she wanted to get married if and
only if she could find a compatible partner. As she believed in astrology, she
wanted her horoscope and likes and dislikes to be a perfect-match with her
life-partner. By perfect she meant- cent percent! Her family had given up
hope as the best match they could arrive after matching hundreds of horoscopes
was 75%!

“75% is good
enough. Why this silly demand? 100% matching of horoscopes is not possible! Not normal! And
then, how can you expect 100% match of likes & dislikes also?” her parents
tried to reason out. But, she just listened to her heart.
“Mere
jaisa dhoond ke la mera sajan.”
(Find a beau who’s just like me!) She sang this Hindi-movie song.
She
registered her profile with her photographs and all her details on a site named
“Universal Match-Making- Find your Soulmate.”
“Looks,
skin-colour, country of residence, religion... don’t matter.”
“Must
be taller than I am.”
“Must
be smarter, stronger and more intelligent than I am.”
“Must
be able to read my mind.”
“Must
know cooking and should not demand that I make “Round Rotis”!
She typed
all the above and her wish-list that she had in her mind.
She
believed- for a perfect marriage, the wavelengths of both the partners have to
match.
She was confident
that God had created the perfect partner for her. He was there somewhere...
they just had to meet each other...
She
motivated herself with a line from a Hindi movie-“Agar kisi cheez ko sacche
mann se chaho, saari Kayanat ussey tumse milane ki koshish mein lag jaati hai.”
(If you love something with a true mind, the whole Universe tries to help
you attain it.)
Then, one
day, she was excited to receive a message that a 100% match had been found,
just as per her requirements!
After
that, she started receiving some Mysterious Packages.
When she
unwrapped, she saw some gadgets with unidentifiable text.
Was this
some joke? Having no clue, she handed them over to the police for
investigation.
That night,
she was awoken from her sleep by loud thunder and sudden rain. She
stood in her balcony as drops of water splashed on her face.
She hummed
a Hindi-movie song-
“Mere
khwabo mein jo aaye... usse kaho kabhi saamne to aaye” (Ask the one who comes in my dreams to come in front
of me.)
Her wish
was fulfilled as the next moment a young man stood right in front of her!
Words were
not necessary as he communicated with his brain.
Like her,
he too had been looking for his perfect Soulmate and had registered online! She
was just what he was looking for! When he received a message that a 100% match
had been found for him, he had sent her love-letters.
But, then,
he realized that she didn’t know his language and would be unable to read. As his
communication had a range, he himself had come to propose and take his bride.
“Will you
marry me?”
She said, “YES!”
The next
day’s news-reports claimed that some flying objects had been spotted in the night
sky.
There was
no conclusive evidence that those were Alien-spacecrafts.
She was no
longer found, nor were those packages... seemed to have vanished...
She was happy
to #startanewlife in a new home on an Alien planet with her 100% Soulmate, who was just like her!

Main hun hi nahi is duniya ki suits her well in the end!!!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and yet sad that there was no one on earth to fill her needs. I am pretty sure he won't ask her to make round rotis for her! However her future looks filled with with the wonder of the stars.
ReplyDeleteFantastic story! First I thought, she would learn that she is expecting too much and would realise that 100% match of horoscope is impossible... But, the entry of alien is a surprise! Would love to read about her life in the new world with her soulmate... Hoe the sequel is coming soon :) TC! Keep smiling :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great story. And what are the odds of a 100% match?
ReplyDeleteAh, inter planetary compatibility. Hmm, earth men are going to have tough competition soon.
ReplyDeleteThabwas a nice flight of fantasy, Anita:)

ReplyDeleteBikram's
This was a fun story! Some of us truly do feel like maybe we don't fit well in this world, and that our lives would be a better match somewhere else. Still, I don't think finding someone just exactly like you would be the perfect match, there must be some similarities but also some differences to keep it interesting and to balance each other's likes and needs!
ReplyDeletehahah! interesting story with awesome ending! :)
ReplyDeletelovely wishlist ! :)
ReplyDeleteThat's an interesting story, Anita. :)
