IT Industry is/was in a great boom in India. Parents wanted their daughter to get married to an IT engineer or shld I say parents wanted an IT engineer as their son-in-law. In the market of arrange marriage that prevails in India, these guys always had a leading edge. They were like ‘Perfect marriage material’ for girls. With Bush presidency falling and with recession and Obama’s No-outsourcing strategy, party time is now over for these most wanted bachelors. Something which goes too high has to fall – is the law of nature.
In India – guys with marriageable age and with no girlfriend / fiancée time is really 。。。
Let’s take up one scenario to describe it – A guy is visiting girls place with marriage proposal. A typical arrange marriage scenario.
Girl’s father: So son, you said you work for an IT company?
Guy: Yes sir, I am a software engineer working in a well-known IT company engaged with outsourcing projects. [Poor guy was confused if the question was asked proudly or with sympathy]
Girl’s father was too quick to solve his confusion.
Girl’s father: So son, what do you think, how long your company gonna survive and how secured is your job?
Poor guy, even before seeing the beautiful girl he longing to marry, his dream was shattered.
It’s no at all his mistake, with these unfavorable market conditions companies are giving out – Pink slips – even to the male employees, without giving it a thought how a guy be looking with it.
These days matrimony ad is somewhat like this – Wanted a guy for my Non-IT background girl [In bold letters ofcourse] who holds a SAFE job and can provide my daughter with basic necessities like 3 star hotel food once in a week, small 3BHK flat, few 3-4 dozen branded clothes and MONEY.
Few tips for an IT professional before visiting girl’s residence with marriage proposal.
1. Supplementary course: Till date we have been seeing many mechanical, electrical engineers or commerce / Arts background doing supplementary computer courses. Time has now changed. Now an IT engineer shld have a supplementary qualification like IT / Software engineer + LLM / Interior designing / CS / CA
2. Use the best an expensive perfume and branded clothes: Well! This will help girl’s dad to smell that you still can afford these things. And who knows like the perfume ad shown on TV girl will fall in your arms and kiss you. [Precautions to be taken – don’t sit too close to girl’s father or mother].
3. Talk on any topic other than Obama presidency and recession: Don’t get caught yourself in this discussion if you are working for an IT Company.
