Readers Letters

Dear Bharat & Harsha,
Thanks for sending me the Annual 2007 edition. I was totally impressed by the new magazine look and highly interesting articles also. I found this such a useful tool to use compared to website searches which are so useless as you cannot even speak to anyone on the telephone or the candidates are not serious. I have managed to make so many contacts through the magazine and established new friends also in short time. However I am still single and looking but wanted to show my appreciation to you both for it must be hard work too for you to do this. I look forward to receiving the new edition soon.

Bharat & Harsha

Dear Bharat
I have been your site Perfect-Partner.com and do visit it from time to time to check for new features or profiles. Are you going to be showing any new features in the near future?
Rohit

Dear Rohit,
There are many sites out there these days who add on features which are not relevant to the matrimonial purposes. However, we focus on matrimonial services mainly but we are planning to re-vamp the site soon and you will be able to see the new look and feel sometime in the Autumn once the upgrades are done.
Bharat

Dear Harsha
I am very happy with my Gold Introductions and magazines and have had quite a few Introductions already and am still looking as I am a bit fussy type but as you correctly advise, we never get 10 out of 10 things in life so maybe I shall have to take this advice and hope to meet the right person very soon!. Please continue to send me good introductions.
Smita

Dear Bharat
Perfect-Partner.com is unique. At first glance I thought it is like any other dating website but after joining so many others and getting fed up, I came to yours and once I have been through the services you provide I found it a genuine agency who were very straight with me and my requirements and though I am still looking, I am hoping very soon I find someone of my choice.
Rakesh

Dear Sirs
There are many agencies these days but I have to say it is hard to find one like yours who offer a very good personal service. So many of them are Internet based leaving you to do the hard work in these modern busy times and I found your magazine and Introduction service most productive compared to others. Please continue the good work for the Community

Dear Bharat & Harsha
Your MIL MATCHMAKER Magazine is so good with a quality content and relevant material as well as unique in finding partners in this manner and making new contacts each time.
The articles are just as educating and enlightening sometimes and I always look forward to receiving my copy promptly and I know that to produce such a magazine must be hard work and dedication in a field like this and your free efforts is just something which must not go unnoticed for this is a true community service you are providing in good spirit and be very genuine which these days is hard to find.
God bless you both

I am from USA, and I have to say it is one of the best Asian matrimonial sites I have come across. Keep it up. I am still looking to find an Asian Bride!
Stephen

Dear Harsha,
Thanks for taking so much time with my Gold Introduction application. You have helped me so much that I now have the courage to talk directly and initiate contact myself whereas before I was a bit nervous.
I think we have to keep an open mind these days and you have shown how genuine you are and even though I am still looking, you personal support is the best.
I really enjoyed reading your Annual 2005 M.I.L MATCHMAKER magazine and it gets better and better.
Take care
Radha

Dear Bharat & Harsha,
Congratulations! 10 years in matchmaking -and what a wonderful 10th Anniversary Annual 2005 M.I.L MATCHMAKER magazine you have produced. It has certainly changed its face from the old days back in 1995!
Your articles in Health matters are just great and informative, and you keep bringing interesting stuff under Money Matters.
But the main point I am congratulating you on is the fact that your dedication, hard work in a difficult area to help all members of the Asian Community is truly remarkable and these days everybody has a profit motive or as they say nothing is free but you have proved that your various matrimonial services are genuine and also very affordable .After all it is a question of finding the love of your dreams and there is no price tag on this.
We hope you can continue to strive to provide a quality publication and may god bring you every success you deserve.
Jay & Priya

Dear Editor,
Once again, great edition each time you produce unique M.I.L. MATCHMAKER magazine. I always look forward to varied articles and all those interesting adverts.
Keep it up!
Miss K.Patel

Dear Harsha,
Thank you for sending me a complimentary magazine. I was really impressed by it all and never imagined such a thing existed these days. I also logged on to the website and was amazed how wonderful it was and spent hours just browsing and reading various things you have incorporated. I finally understood that the profiles online were not the same as your magazine adverts and now I am using both, I am really getting so many genuine and serious contacts.
I have sent you my subscription so please continue to send me the magazines.
Regards
Bhavini

Sanjay - Birmingham

Dear Sir
I would like to say that I find your magazine very good and it must be hard work getting it done. Perhaps you could incorporate some articles of interest to the general readers in future.
Salim

Dear Matchmaker
I often place ads, in your magazine, and through you I have met many prospective partners and friends, so I can tell you that the system does work. Keep up the good work. However, one piece of advice to your reader's who often reply in the magazine is "If you don't fit her requirements, please don't bother replying" maybe they are just trying their luck. In my ads. I distinctly specified that I want to meet a cultured guy, yet I am inundated with letters from unemployed people, taxi-drivers, factory worker etc. Do these people have defective eye sight? Come on guys, the word time waster have more than one meaning. Do get your act together.
Rubeena

Dear Editor
Reading most matrimonial ads, and having seen some girls myself, Can I offer one piece of advice - It is better to be frank and honest rather than exaggerate your details for you will be wasting your time. However, I have found my partner through your magazine few months ago but it was not easy!.
Sailesh - London

Dear Sir,
Firstly I am very impressed with the response I have had from my advert in the Matchmaker magazine and my profile on Perfect-partner.com website. Whilst I have replied to all the letters that I have received out of courtesy as you requested, I felt that the quality of some of the letters were not all that impressive. I personally feel that the letters or e-mails should be very professional as this is the chance to impress the box number. Also some letters did not match up to my advert having requested no divorcees, yet I had three letters from divorced girls. My advert stated that I wanted someone professional, yet one girl wrote to me who was working in a factory. Three letters I received did not have any telephone numbers, one had no address details so I could simply not reply. I wish all the readers refer to instructions on "How to reply". However, on a more positive note, I also had many good quality letters as well from some of the girls of excellent nature and I have now decided to marry one of them following our meetings. I would like o express many thanks for your service for it would not be possible without you. I shall continue to enjoy reading some of the articles you publish.
Ajay - London

Dear Sir,
May I take this opportunity to congratulate you on your exciting and enjoyable magazine with such interesting articles. I really enjoyed reading your article on Perfect Partner with humour.
Amina - Yorkshire

Dear Editor,
Being a regular reader of your wonderful magazine, I have noticed with great distress so many of them are divorced and many of them in their late 30's and 40's and still single. Gone are the days when most boys and girls would be married in their 20's. Divorces were rare in my day - what is happening to our Asian society? Could your Matchmaker magazine write an article to educate our youngsters? Many thanks.

If Only
If only people would put their location.. If only the true meaning of professional could be defined. If only readers would read and advert properly. If only we were slim, fit, attractive, romantic, blah blah blah. If only

Caste Discrimination
Oh, why why why do so many of your readers are so specific about caste when they are looking for a partner? Why is it that the Indian culture so rich and has a lot to offer, yet is backward and rigid when it comes the topic of caste system. There are so many stigmas attached to the caste system and I feel that partners should allow their children to mix in and marry other castes of perhaps the same religion if they do mind so much.. after all we all believe in one god and if we are all Hindus.. then why does it matter if we possess all the balanced values? We are living today in a modern cosmopolitan society and the present circumstances demand changes and I feel this must happen so that we are all one, and treated equally rather than based on a low or a higher caste.
Pravin Mistry - Midlands

Cross Cultures
Sir…. Firstly let me say how much your Magazine is contributing towards the needs of the community as a whole where you are providing the bridge for people to meet. However, I feel that if Asians themselves have a lot of problems marrying outside their caste, then what scope do I as an Englishman have of finding an Asian bride? What is wrong, may I ask of an English guy wanting a relationship with an Asian lady? I possess the best of Indian and Western cultures and I would say that I am probably more aware of the Indian culture than most of your Indian reader's… Britain is a Multicultural society and people have to adjust. I did not get any replies to my box no, but I can remind readers of the Hindu teaching.. Only one caste exists… the caste of Humanity and only one religion.. the religion of love.. Jay Shree Krishna to all.
Peter Martin - London

RSVP.. OR?
I often wonder what do Asians understand by the words RSVP?, which is included in all the Wedding invitations. The joke amongst Gujarati's is that RSVP stands for Rupaiya Sathe Vahela Padharjo, i.e. come early with your gifts…
But seriously, why do we not have the same sort of etiquette as the English. If we are invited to an English Wedding, we will always reply immediately, on a nice card, on the other hand an invitation from our Asians, we do not bother to respond, we even decide at the last minute whether to attend or not to attend! I was glad to have found my partner through your agency and I must thank you for your assistance in this matter. We decided to have a grand wedding reception as it is not something we do everyday. Being a special occasion of a lifetime, many months of planning took place from both sides, and one of them was the Invitation cards. The cards were sent weeks in advance and amongst the few chosen words was RSVP, a home Tel no, and a stamped addressed reply card. In total we sent out 450 invitation cards. A week before the wedding, the tally was… Yes:90; No: 21; Unaccounted for: 339….75% unaccounted for!! Clearly It was very difficult to make final arrangements for the catering, sitting etc.… I must say Asians are exceptionally lazy with a standard excuse of being busy. With the hassle of all these arrangements, my enthusiasm had gone for the reception and I was left wondering that instead of spending all the monies, we would have been better off using the money saved on our new house. The end result was, 88% attended the wedding reception and we had only provided for 60%. How embarrassing!
Mahendra Patel - London

A word of Praise!
Sir… Thank you for the excellent service you have been providing me these last six months and although you gave me several introductions which I pursued… I have to say that the Indian Males cannot make up their minds of what they want sometimes… they rather see many girls… keep them waiting as if we are fish to be catched and pretend that they are too busy to meet up or make excuses for a follow up meeting if they are seeing someone else. Like they are trying to get the best fish. I am sorry but this was my experience with some of the introductions and the fault is not yours at all because you gave me the contact match and I did like a couple of them who promised to come back but did not, so I do not know what these guys really want in life! Anyhow, I did find my match after sometime through a friend, but I do need to offer a word of praise to you too for your hard work in providing me those matches contacts. My fate was obviously written elsewhere…
Saroj.
