I was returning from Phoenix to Bangalore last week. While in the boarding line, air hostess was walking asking everyone to give a side to her and the elderly person with her. He looks like in mid 60's going to India (from kids probably). She dropped him near the flight and the other air hostess tried explaining him how to reach his seat. He was not able to understand the accent of her so puzzled on what to do. Luckily one air hostess know his language i.e. Telugu and explained him how to go.

I felt i must think of changing the way matrimony sites are working as my experience was bad. this is how matrimony sites are as of now: you create your profile with bride/groom details such as Work Education Family location Pics Astrology if the other party likes your profile, they will send you an interest. if you too like theirs pay money get right to see some phone numbers, you speak over phone and go further. All good when you just say, but in reality its not working as expected. lot of good brides and grooms are finding it hard to find a match. In my experience lots of good profiles are there for more than an year searching/looking for a profile. With the changes happening globally, old way of this are not working.  It has some reasons, like: Unrealistic Expectations (inspired due to movies etc) Giving more value to money & physical look than family, character Abroad dreams Status  etc...
