I've always quite liked shaadi.com...it gave me an idea for a great reality TV show. Must get onto that what with all the Indian student-bashings going on atm.
Yup. or else...
My solution - which admittedly comes with a certain amount of risk - is to sleep with your friends. It can backfire royally, but for me at least it's worked pretty well. That said, a lot of my friends are hippie chicks so it probably won't work for everyone.
If not, start hitting on them and/or their sisters (if they have them - their mum if you're especially daring) anyway - betcha they'll suddenly remember someone who'd be just perfect for you.
Again, comes with the risk of losing friends so exercise caution.
Umm...If anyone sees a profile with a pic that looks suspiciously like Robin McGraw (Dr Phil's wife) maybe don't express interest...
