Wives from North:

1. At the time of marriage, a north Indian girl has more boyfriends than her age.
2. Before marriage, she looks almost like a bollywood heroine and after marriage you have to go around her twice to completely hug her.
3. By the time she professes her undevoted love to you, you are bankrupt because of the number of times you had to take her out to movie theatres and restaurants. And you wait longingly for her dowry.
4. The only dishes she can think of to cook is paneer butter masala, aloo sabji, aloo gobi sabji, aloo matar, aloo paneer, that after eating all those paneer and aloos you are either in the bed with chronic cholestrol or chronic gas disorder.
5. The only growth that you see later in your career is the rise in your monthly phone bill.
6. You are blinded by her love that you think that she is a blonde. Only later do you come to know that it is because of the mehandhi that she applies to cover her gray hair.
7. When you come home from office she is very busy watching "Kyonki saas bhi kabi bahu thi" that you either end up eating outside or cooking yourself.
8. You are a very "ESpecial" person to her.
9. She always thought that Madras is a state and covers the whole of south India until she met you.
10. When she says she is going to "work out" she means she is going to "Walk out"
11. She has greater number of relatives than the number of people you have in your home town.
12. The only two sentences in English that she knows are "Thank you" and "How are you"

5. She uses the word 'Super' as her only superlative.
6. Her name is another name for a Goddess or a flower.
7. Her first name is longer than your first name, middle name and surname combined (unless you are from Andhra)
8. When she mixes milk - curd and rice you are never sure whether it is for the Dog or for herself.

Lurker you have done a fantastic job! Laughed a lot after reading it.

Lurker,  tahnks to your list I can say I know now something more on indian women! According to your list, I would say I could appreciate more a woman from the south...
In your list you say at #10 "She thinks Mohan Lal is the sexiest man alive"... I went to visit a webside in order to know who this man was...if she thinks this man is sexy, well I would be a God of beaty for a south indian woman.
But, sincerely, no women I think can compare to Aishwarya Rai...
I can say I am an italian fan of Aishwarya ...meaby I am the only one in my country...but a collegue of mine in the office I work once noticed a picture of Aishwarya as my desktop background... :oHe too fell in love with her...
Namsté, Max
