this is my first attempt at writing an FF 😛. I hope readers will like it. Please feel free to give both positive and negative comments. I have a very generic title (working title) at this point, as I am not sure how to I would progress this story, and probably have a meaningful title a bit later. Any suggestions are welcome.
If anybody needs PM on updates.. drop in comment or add me on Buddy List... Or like this post...
I am adding an Index for all the chapters here:

Next morning at Priya's House.
Shipra: Priya, Priya
Priya: Haan Ma, Kya hain?
Shipra: Breakfast karke jana. Waise ek baat batani thi. Tujhe pata hain Sudha (Shipra's friend) ki beti ki shaadi be fix hog ayi hain. Aur pata hain kaise, uski beti ka profile shaadi ke website pe dala tha. Wo bhol rahi the ki aap kyun nahi priya ka profile bhi daal dete hain. Dekh online ek profile karti hoon. Tu mujhe ab rokh mat. Waise be tumhe to koi interest nahi hain shaadi karne ke liye, hamhe hi kuch karna padega.
Priya: Maa... Jo tum teek samjho. Lekin ek sharth hain meri. Tum sach hi likhoge, meri age ya education aur kaisa ladka chahiye. Teek hain to bolo.
Shipra: Teek Hain. Teek Hain. Jab profile karoongi to tum se puchke karoongi. Bas. Chal ab breakfast karle.
Priya: Jaldi karo Maa, late ho rahi hain. Waise kya hain?
Sudhir: Tumhara favorite hain, dosa and chutney.
Priya smiles, eats her breakfast and heads to work.
Priya's parents are worried. After Priya leaves...
Shipra: Sudhir, I am worried about Priya. I hope she is settled. She is such a nice girl and somehow not able to find a right match for her.
Sudhir: Don't worry Shipra. I know she will find someone. We need to keep our spirits up and keep on looking for more matches. Waise Mrs Khanna had called yesterday. She suggested a match for Priya. Did not mention more details, but said she will drop by this afternoon and discuss it with you.
Shipra: Teek hain. Let's hope for the best. Are you not getting late for work?
Sudhir: Haan Haan. Nikhalta hoon. Ek meeting bhi hain.
