Quick thoughts, though:

Single people: "I want a mango." Sima Aunty: "That's too many criterias*. We can't get everything we want. Here's some spinach."
Gotta love how most of Sima Auntie's matches don't work out. That's a strange showcase of her "talents." You don't see highlight clips on SportsCenter of all the shots Steph Curry missed last night.
On Indian Matchmaking, Sima Aunty should switch the pics on two "biodatas" to showcase how superficial the single people all are. (I'm horribly superficial but at least I own up to it. So that makes me... deeply superficial? I like to put a positive spin on my foibles.) Like, one profile is an absolutely perfect descriptive match, however the person isn't that good-looking. And right next to it is a horrible mismatch but with an attractive photo. See which one they go for.

August is our family’s most celebratory month. Our anniversary, my wife’s birthday, our son’s birthday, my brothers’ birthday, and this year, my parents’ 50th wedding anniversary!
