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:

Priya: Maa, Tumhe aur kuch nahi Sujta hain kya. I was
promoted to an assistant professor today.
Shipra: Wow!!! Congrats! Very proud and happy for you
beta. Just take blessings from god. Main ghar pe kuch khaas banati hun. Tere Papa buhut kush ho jayenge. Waise Priya...
Rehene de.
Priya: Ok Maa, I will freshen up. Just tired a bit.
Long day today.
Priya Sharma, a 28-year-old woman living in Bangalore. She is
an Assistant professor at JNCASR institute in Bangalore with PhD in molecular
biology from JNCASR. She loves teaching students and working on research projects.
She is a bubbly, tomboyish, loves sports, simple and dedicated to her work. On
her free time, she reads books, volunteers at senior assisted living or old age
homes and plays volleyball. She loves her family, a typical upper middle class,
living in a 3-bedroom 2-Storey small family house. Her father (Sudhir Sharma) works
as a General Manager at a local Bank, settled in Bangalore after transfer from
Delhi about 15 years ago and retiring in 6 months. Mother (Shipra Sharma),
worked at a bank, and has taken Voluntary retirement about 6 years ago. Brother
(Kartik Sharma), 6 years younger, has just finished his Engineering in
Computers and placed in a multi-national company.
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.
Thanks for reading. Will update soon.
