Three Foundation Steps to Succeed in Your Matchmaking Journey
Finding the right kind of matrimonial match is something that may seem like a thing out of a fictional tale. It may seem like you are looking through prospect after prospect to never find a match for yourself. However, the truth is that if you follow the right steps you can find a match for life in no time and this is evident from the Shaadi.com reviews of users that have been able to find their life partners online without much of a hassle.
While it may seem unbelievable, it is interesting to know that finding the best match for yourself is really a three-step journey. When you carry out your three steps, it is possible to find the right matrimonial match for yourself. Here is what it takes when you are seeking to get a partner for yourself, the kind that people find in Shaadi matrimony reviews.
Find Yourself:
The journey of finding a life partner should be a journey where you first get to know yourself. If you are out looking for your matrimonial match but are unaware of what you are presenting to others through yourself, you may not be able to fulfill your need for a life partner successfully.
Finding yourself should be the first foundation step in your journey to find a partner successfully. When you find yourself, you will have a more streamlined search for the qualities and characteristics of your prospective partner. It will become easier for you to cut out on the crowd of people that are apparently matching with your personality and only the best few will remain for you to pick from.
In the process of seeking to find a matrimonial match, there are Shaadi reviews that talk about getting to know their own selves better. This means that you first need to find your own self before you look for a life partner for yourself. If you are aware of what you have to offer to your partner, it may not take you too long to get the right match for yourself.
Know What You Want:
The second and most important foundation step in achieving success in your matchmaking journey is to know what you expect from your life partner. While there may be qualities that you want to see in your prospective partner, there may be times when you think you will not be able to spend your life with a person that does not possess a certain set of characteristics. Shaadi app reviews reveal that when you are sure about what you want in your partner; you are more likely to find the perfect match with ease.
Your search for the perfect partner becomes much more fruitful and positive when you have a direction for your search. Looking for specific traits, backgrounds, qualities, or habits in a person can help drive your search in a much more result-oriented way.
It is, however important for you to be clear about what it is in your prospective partner that you cannot compromise on. When you know exactly what you cannot do without your life partner, you would know who to consider for a deeper connection and what kind of prospective matches you can let go of.
This one step in the process of your search for a matrimonial partner will help in making sure that you are able to cut through the clutter and find a person that will truly be your soul mate.
Look in the Right Places: When you finally know yourself and know what to look for in your prospective partner, you then need to make sure that you know where to look. Shaadi.com customer reviews reveal that the method of looking for the right life partner is as important as finding the partner.
You need to be sure that you are looking for your prospective matches through trusted resources especially when you are looking for your life partner through online mediums.
It is important that you are able to find matrimonial platforms that you can trust to offer you the right prospective matches. If you have a portal that has experience in serving needs like yours, you can be sure about being able to find the right match without much trouble.
A great number of Shaadi.com reviews talk about being able to find a match of their dreams when they follow the three foundation steps to success when they were looking for their matrimonial partners. With the right approach to the process, you too can find a partner for life successfully!

BOOK REVIEW: THE SHAADI SET-UP BY LILLIE VANCE
⭐⭐⭐
TROPES
Second Chance
Miscommunication
This is my second Lillie Vale book this month, and it was a fun ride. Rita is a carpenter that refurbished old furniture. She’s pretty set in her life, though is struggling with how to introduce her family to her current boyfriend, Neil, due to their parents’ tangled past. All of that changes when Milan, her high school sweetheart, comes back into the picture.
I will say, there was nothing making me root against Neil originally. Shout out to the author for subtly adding the breadcrumbs as we went along. That was a welcome change, since I feel like most of the time the reader is poised from the start to hate the not-endgame romantic interest. It was great to watch as Rita realized what she wanted in life, and how Neil wasn’t the way to get that for her. They didn’t go out in a bad way, which was a breath of fresh air.
While I enjoyed watching Rita and Milan reconnect, especially because it is forced by their parents, I do think the miscommunication was misplaced. It ultimately didn’t add anything to the story. I think the character growth could’ve been achieved without it, and honestly, it may have packed more of a punch. It would’ve added a bit more to both characters and how they’ve changed over the last six years to hold firm in those previous decisions and not write it off as a miscommunication. ‘
With the setting of North Carolina, this felt like a great way to get my adult fix of The Summer I Turned Pretty, with the beach house and teen love interests reconnecting later in life.

Chapter 3:
"Oye, Shlokaa! Villu's saying that there are wayy more people here today than there were during the shaadi. I mean, of course the food is better and it just proves that we all attend like besharam to only eat! Anyway, I'll just greet them with Vilasini and apologize for not being present on the wedding. We'll back, k?" Aditi nudged Shlokaa's shoulder with two fingers, an old loving gesture of theirs, and then dragged Vilasini who was laughing with some other aunty.
"Sure." Shlokaa replied, in between chugging her mocktail. Her thoughts were still swirling over the last day's events when she had travelled the whole city like a tourist with Vilasini. For someone who has lived in one place her whole life, Shlokaa had to anxiously google all places of attraction just in case she left anything. But in the end - "screw it", she just visited two to three main places and then went with the flow carrying them wherever the wind went, while Vilasini asked random strangers their experiences and places they'd recommend.
"But.. we have google maps and reviews." Shlokaa said.
"Meri jaan, logo ke dil ki jo memories hoti hain woh internet pe nahi milti. I asked them their favourite places, not a five star hotel." Vilasini chuckled.
Shlokaa had smiled, so they really couldn't help but go with the flow - even though she couldn't quite understand what Vilasini said in the beginning. Now, Shlokaa' hindi was a little weak (the beginning of her childhood years she had spent abroad and now the westernized accent and language wasn't leaving her) and Vilasini's was surprisingly good for a South Indian.
Meri- what?
What had she called her?
She'd ask her someday.
Suddenly, Vilasini had excitedly pointed at something. "Would you LOOK at that beautiful sunset?" Shlokaa had turned her head ahead. It was definitely beautiful. She had spent years in this city, seen countless of these sunsets but it was as if Vilasini's presence just brightened and heightened every part of existence around. Everything was the same old thing yet so different. Like a rebirth.
Vilasini then had grabbed her hand and sprinted to an ice cream stall as they had watched the sunset while eating ice cream together.
"Heyo, cutie Buttercup." Shlokaa was knocked into reality from her reverie, coming back into the reception. She turned around. Only one person called her that.
"Manika." Shlokaa nodded slowly
Manika gestured her champagne glass into a raising a toast position, then advanced towards her friend, so smoothly as if gliding. She was wearing a sparkling black sari, looking as deviously enchanting as ever. Her deep green bangles clanking as she moved, her magnificent chandelier earrings swaying and nath glinting in the dark as mischievously as her, her siren eyes contrasting with her rosy face, her skinny figure contrasting with her wide hips. She was a sea of contradictions but it suited her well, guys would lay down their lives for her.
"What a pleasure to see the local baddie here!" Manika hooked her arms with Shlokaa's. "Thank God, I would've been bored to death here if it weren't for you, honey. After all, I can't mingle with all the oldies and kids and weirdos.. unlike that damn lesbian."
Shlokaa's heart stopped briefly. Her breathing shook. Her gaze toppled. A hot flower bloomed inside and instantly shed its petals on her heart but instead of petals landing softly, it was like mines dropping and exploding. A cold knife plunged right across her gut. She was blinded - all she could see was darkness.
"Who?" It was like Shlokaa wasn't even speaking, someone else in her body was.
"Vilasini. Ew. I don't even wanna take her name."
And Shlokaa ran. Ran forward with all her might in heavy, painful but very fast steps.
"That's right, darling. Show her what happens when anomalies mess up good ambience." Manika scoffed
But as soon as Shlokaa saw Vilasini, she froze. All her running but time was slowed down on seeing her. It was happening again. All over again. Vilasini, surprised but happy at seeing Shlokaa just smiled and waved her to come join. Vilasini, in her warm fire coloured salwar and chaand baaliya, standing next to Aditi in her silver sari.
They were all picture perfect
Until they weren't
Shlokaa dragged Vilasini in a corner, not too much away from the crowd but not too near either. "Kya hua, meri pyaari-" Vilasini started and suddenly Shlokaa slapped her, sharply right across her face. A small echo rung across the entire field for a moment. Some abruptly stopped talking and stared at them, some continued - not caring and mumbling "arey kya kare bacche toh ladte rehte hain." Vilasini almost tripped from the shock. Her automatic expression was to smile but she was finding it hard to do it right now, still she managed. "Shlokaa, is everythi-"
Another slap, a harder one. A punch probably, Vilasini couldn't tell because she blanked and fell down hard this time, tumbling on the grass as it sloped. She softly put a finger on her face, the corner of her mouth twitching as she realized her upper lip bleeding slightly, her salwar torn a little bit at its neck. Her eyes were swelling with tears too now, she had tried to withhold them but the pain was too much.
"Are you.. are you into girls?" She almost slapped the question on Vilasini as well, the heat rushing back into her because of.... God knows WHAT? She had just slapped this girl, thinking it'll kill the heat coz she thought it was caused by shame and anger but-!?
"Is this all--!?? how could you.. I... listen carefully, Shlokaa. I don't care for you in that manner. Better get that inside. your. head." Vilasini hissed.
Shlokaa had seen many angry people in her life, in fact she loved imagining and making up scenarios of situations and people in different emotions. But she found it impossible to picture Vilasini furious. And now that she was, it was.. something else entirely. Nothing objectively aggressive like she had observed of other people. This. It tugged something so much at her and she lost complete control of her senses, freezing again. She didn't know what to say. "So, you only care about girls you're.. into?"
"What. the. HELL is wrong with YOU!? Have you gone MAD??? Do you even know what you're blabbering on about?" Vilasini's voice cracked
And so did Shlokaa's heart, just the littlest bit. "Nice" she thought. She thought her heart must've been long destroyed by now but cracking meant it still existed. But she had been thinking so wrong all this time. Her insides jumped and screamed at her, she wanted to move fast, just do something. Anything. But the last time she did that, which was just now - she had ended up slapping someone.
"Villu-- VILASINI!!! ARE YOU OK?! OH GOD. WHAT HAPPENED??" Aditi came scrambling and helped Vilasini to her feet, who groaned just a bit at being lifted. She had fallen and shifted her weight on her elbow too it seemed because it hurt as she moved it.
"Nothing," Vilasini smiled.
She did it.
She finally managed to smile even in a situation like this one. Even though it was a little painful because of the cut on her lip.
Shlokaa had wanted her to fight back, hit her, get even, then forgive. Not smile like this. Because it hurt more than anything physical ever could.
Vilasini's voice quietly thundered
"Looks like your friend is done with my energy. She's used hers up showing me the city so her duty is done anyway. Maybe she just didn't like my face after all? Why else would you do this to an otherwise pretty one? But guess what, I didn't like her either. Tell her I don't want to see her stupid, smug face. ever. again."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Vilasini sighed on the railway station bench late at night and checked her watch. She was leaving. And it was now or never. The reason she had stayed longer in this city was also ironically the reason she was doing this tonight. She hadn't even told Aditi about it. She'd tell as soon as she would reach home, she'd apologize, her cousin would understand. She could feel her eyes moisting again. She was so tired.
A hoot. She got up, dusted herself off and walked away, looking back one last time towards the city lights as she boarded. She couldn't get herself to walk inside right away for some reason so she stepped and lingered at the door. Suddenly, the train started moving so she headed inside.
"VILASINI!"
"Shlokaa?" She couldn't believe her ears
But here she was, running to her, running with the train. In the same outfit she had been wearing in the reception. Night sky deep blue lehenga and anklets twinkling with her sad eyes, kajal smudging everywhere.
"Have you been crying?" Vilasini whispered
"I should ask that to you. You look-"
"Not again. So, you really are a mad girl."
Vilasini couldn't believe any of the last two days that took place, everything happened so fast. But she ached so much, she wasn't even sure if she was paining because of herself or because of her. Why would she bother to for someone who had made a place in her heart so quickly but devastated it just as quickly?
"Please forgive me." Shlokaa pleaded, the city lights flashing in her eyes, running faster as the train did, almost tripping, Vilasini's heart skipped.
But then she did it. She didn't slap her or hit her. But she pushed her. Ever so gently that you couldn't even call it a push. Just a touch with her palm and a soft separation. Shlokaa lost her grip, tripped and went swirling onto the railway platform but regained balance soon.
She didn't even fall or face any injury. She heaved slowly, standing frozen on her spot as she saw the train slowly going out of view now.

ARC Review of Tastes Like Shakkar by Nisha Sharma
Summary:
Wedding planner Bobbi Kaur is determined to make sure her friends Kareena and Prem's wedding goes off without a hitch, even if it means working with popular chef Benjamin 'Bunty' Padda. Bobbi and Benjamin may not have gotten off to a great start, but doesn't stop their mutual attraction. As they try to solve the mystery of who's sabotaging the wedding, they quickly fall into a relationship even as they know there's a deadline approaching...
My review:
I enjoyed this book a lot more than I was expecting based on some of Nisha Sharma's earlier books that I've read including Dating Dr. Dil, the book prior to Tastes Like Shakkar. I thought Benjamin and Bobbi were solid characters individually, I bought their chemistry, and I really liked the background cast of their friends and The Aunties.
I'm not going to lie, I initially thought a "shaadi saboteur" would make for a really hokey plot, but I was invested because I was firmly on Bobbi and Benjamin's side and rooting for their success. I think that conflict's resolution might have been a bit rushed and contrived, but until then, it worked. Also, Nisha mentioned in her acknowledgements that she wanted to explore the concept of "family managers" in Indian culture namely, when children feel like their value to the family is conflated with the help the provide which is... so so accurate. The shaadi saboteur plot really pushed that idea to the forefront of my mind while I was reading, because Bobbi was determined to prove to her value to her family and her friend whose wedding she's planning to the extent where she thinks that's all she's worth. Benjamin had a similar conflict with his own dad who, get this, runs a frozen naan empire.
Regarding Bobbi and Benjamin's relationship, the blurb pushes the "enemies" aspect of their relationship but in actuality, they know pretty early on that they have sexual chemistry, and after the first time they have sex, they're basically in a relationship. It's fairly early on in the story, but I actually liked that. The plot took the time to explore their growing relationship and you could understand what drew them to each other, and perhaps more importantly what kept them together which, in my opinion, might have been how they handled the long-distance aspect of their relationship.
I love how Nisha wrote the long-distance relationship in an epistolary format, like, that's what convinced me they should stay together. There were texts, cute little notes, checking in on each other, Benjamin ordered Bobbi food when he knew she'd forget, and of course, there had to be phone sex. Which I thought was pretty solid all things considered. Speaking of sex—
The sex:
Here's my thing: Authors can sometimes get weird about people of color and sex, and even moreso about people of color and kink. I think it's this paranoia about how they're depicting the characters' sexuality, their bodies, and how "correct" they're being about the sex (oh and some strange detours into multilingual dirty talk in a way that fetishizes the language) that gets in the way of writing sex scenes that are actually... sexy. But I thought Nisha handled this potential pitfall really well here. The fact that Bobbi isn't conventionally skinny? It's touched upon just the right amount and her body is described during sex, but Nisha never harps on it. The fact that Benjamin enjoys bondage during sex? He explained it to Bobbi frankly, checked in with her, but otherwise it was no big deal. Their desire for one another was frank and explicit. There was no place for coyness here. I only wished some the scenes themselves could be a little longer.
Stand-out moments include:
a) First sex scene was at the 44% mark and that made me happy. It was a storage room oral moment on those decorative throne things they make South Asian brides and grooms sit on during their wedding reception which I thought was hilarious
b) A blowjob scene that surprised me because she was laying down and he like, actually straddled her chest and went for it, which I don't see in a lot of contemporary romances.
c) At one point during sex they were looking at themselves in a mirror and Bobbi likened herself to those women in old Indian paintings with their hips and stomachs out and I just thought that was really beautiful and body-affirming.
Overall:
This might be one of the best rom-coms I've read in a long time. It accomplished exactly what it set out to do: You got that desi rep (specifically that Jersey desi rep— iykyk) with a solid cast of Indian characters, a great romance that's probably as hot as any rom-com will ever get, and plot that was funny and sweet in equal measure. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone who's remotely interested in this genre.
Thank you to Avon and Harper Voyager and NetGalley for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for my review.

🦇 Tastes Like Shakkar Book Review 🦇
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
❝ "As a wedding planner, I have learned to appreciate blunt honesty. I mean, what's sexier than that? Being completely transparent and straight with another person takes a kind of fearlessness, doesn't it?" ❞
❓ #QOTD What's your favorite Shakespeare play (or retelling)? ❓ 🦇 Bobbi Kaur is eager to plan a blow-out, unforgettable wedding for her best friend. Unfortunately, she's paired with Benjamin “Bunty” Padda to complete the task; the groom's best friend and man who derailed her career as a wedding planner. After Bunty refuses to cater a previous wedding for her, Bobbi's boss and uncle loses his faith in her ability to one day manage the business. The Kareena Mann and Prem Verma (#Vermann) wedding could be her chance to prove herself and win an account with one of the biggest venues around. To make matters worse, someone is trying to sabotage the wedding. Despite their constant bickering and the shaadi saboteur's best efforts, can Bobbi and Bunty call a truce and (with the help of a few sleuthing, meddling aunties) turn the Vermann wedding into a happily ever after?
💜 How do I bottle up all my love for Nisha Sharma, Bobbi, and Bunty in a concise review? Oh, let me count the ways... (whoops, wrong play). "There's a skirmish of wit between them" is far more accurate. Tastes Like Shakkar picks up from the scene we missed in Dating Dr. Dil, when Bobbi and Bunty speak alone at Kareena's birthday party. A moment of misunderstanding flares into hostility, even though Bobbi and Bunty have more in common than they realize. Sharma does a stunning job of pulling from Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing while staying true to her Punjabi-American characters. So many books are categorized as romcom more for the situational comedy than actual laugh-aloud moments, which Sharma brings in spades. Bobbi and Bunty have all the wit and sass of their Shakespearian counterparts, but they bring the heat, too. This sweet, sassy story has a flare of spice that's bound to get your blood pumping. Whether Bunty is cooking up a storm in the kitchen or not, there are plenty of mouthwatering moments to spare.
💜 Bobbi's independence and ferocity are inspiring, while Bunty's foodie notes, text, and willingness to SHOW he's falling first are heartwarming. The layers of similarity between them—taking on familial obligations while trying to prove themselves—bring Bobbi and Bunty together when internal and external forces try to drag them apart. The aunties are, as always, a hoot, and Bobbi's curvy representation (and better yet, PRIDE) warmed my heart.
🦇 As much as I loved the story's mystery element, I pegged the shaadi saboteur the moment Bobbi chooses her first suspect. Sharma leaves plenty of little breadcrumbs for readers to follow. Though there's a TON of sizzle and spice (I'm fanning myself at the thought of that throne scene), I do think it was rushed, almost entirely resolving the animosity between them with smut.
🦇 Recommended for fans of Shakespeare retellings, @sonali.dev / Sonali Dev's The Rajes series, or @saradesaiwrites / Sara Desai's The Marriage Game series! Any rom-com lover is bound to fall in love with Bobbi and Bunty!
✨ The Vibes ✨ 💞 Enemies to Lovers 🤏🏽 Forced Proximity 📜 Shakespeare Inspired 🔍 A Dash of Mystery 🪷 Desi/Punjabi RomCom 💐 Chef x Wedding Planner 👗 Plus-Sized Female Lead 📚 Second in a Series 💜 Contemporary Romance 😂 Banter & Humor
❝ "My body says 'let's go on an expedition!' while my brain is shouting 'evacuate mission!'" ❞
🦇 Major thanks to the author Nisha Sharma and publisher Avon Books/ Harper Voyager US for providing an ARC of this book via Netgalley. 🥰 This does not affect my opinion regarding the book.

Rating: 3/5
Book blurb: Save the Date meets Never Have I Ever in this sparkling debut rom-com about a high school senior whose life suddenly gets a Bollywood spin when her sister gets engaged. Shaadi preparations are in full swing, which means lehenga shopping, taste testing, dance rehearsals, and best of all, Arya’s sister Alina is home. The Khannas are together again, finally, and Arya wants to enjoy it. So she stifles her lingering resentment towards Alina, plays mediator during her sister’s fights with their mother, and welcomes her future brother-in-law with open arms. (Okay, maybe enjoy isn't exactly right.)
Meanwhile at school, Arya’s senior year dreams are unraveling. In between class and her part-time gig as a bookshop assistant, Arya struggles to navigate the aftermath of a bad breakup between her two best friends and a tense student council partnership with her rival, the frustratingly attractive Dean Merriweather.
Arya is determined to keep the peace at home and at school, but this shaadi season teaches Arya new realities: Alina won’t always be in the bedroom down the hall, Mamma’s sadness isn’t mendable, friendships must evolve, and life doesn’t always work out like her beloved Bollywood movies. But sometimes, the person you least expect will give you a glimpse of your dream sequence just when you need it most.
Structured like a Bollywood film (entertaining intermission included!) Arya Khanna’s Bollywood Moment will make you swoon, laugh, cry, think, nod your head in agreement, and quite possibly make you get up and dance.
Review:
Save the Date meets Never Have I Ever in this story about a high school senior who is about to get a Bollywood spin on her life when her sister gets engaged and she has to navigate family drama, friend drama, and an unexpected crush. Arya is thrown headfirst into wedding planning when her sister becomes engaged, but that isn't without it's own drama as with new family members, mounting fights, and more come to a head. On top of that her senior is starting, and after losing the presidency she is now vice president to her frustrating yet handsome school rival, Dean. The more time Arya and Dean spend together the more their rivalry is starting to turn into something else, and with so much going on in her life, she'll have to find a way to balance everything before it explodes in her place. This was an okay read, you get to see a lot of family drama , especially between mother and daughters and sister and sister. Arya is dealing with so much, and she's trying to find a way to navigate it all on top of dealing with her best friend's breaking up and trying to remain friends with both as well as this new relationship with Dean. This would make a cute read for teens I think.
*Thanks Netgalley and St. Martin's Press, Wednesday Books for sending me an arc in exchange for an honest review*

Vivah: The Pisces-Cancer Energy is High
Follow me on Instagram: @thatguyanesejournalist
Let’s talk about Sooraj Barjatya’s Vivah.
Poonam is a traditional young woman set to marry Prem, a groom chosen by her uncle. Poonam and Prem's faith and love are tested however, when an accident occurs that alters Poonam’s life.
I’ll be honest. This may be the first movie in the new blog format that has a short and mainly positive review. I grew up watching this movie, and it has remained one of my favorites as I have gotten older.
The pacing of the film’s plot is consistent. It doesn’t feel too fast or too slow; all the scenes are in the movie for a purpose.
The plot is also very family-focused, its message laced with the importance of tradition and responsibility. These ideas are to be expected from Barjatya’s film as it’s not the first time he’s presented them to an audience (see Maine Pyar Kiya, Hum Aapke Hain Koun, and Hum Saath Saath Hain for reference).
If I had to be nitpicky (just to play devil’s advocate), I would say the film at times gets a tad preachy with its dialogue about family values between in-laws. I think it reached a peak for me when Prem’s father comes to the hospital to support Poonam’s family and says something along the lines of, “We are family now. We need to stick together.” That line, and many others, come across as speaking more towards the audience than to the characters themselves. But I digress, mainly because the film does its best to not be boring (especially with the twist at the end). Some of my absolute favorite moments in the film are:
When Prem starts imagining that everyone on the plane is some iteration of Poonam
The sindoor scene between Prem and Poonam in the hospital
The soundtrack, composed by Ravindra Jain, is memorable but a tad monotonous. I loved the pairing of Udit Narayan and Shreya Ghoshal’s voices, but I wished there were more upbeat songs between them (I guess we got Milan Abhi Adha Adhura Hai, but it’s still a bit slow at times). My favorite songs from this movie are:
Hamari Shaadi Mein
Tere Dware Pe Aai Baraat
Do Anjaane Ajnabi
The movie is 167 minutes long (2 hours and 47 minutes). Stream it with subtitles here, grab a snack, and enjoy!
Let me know your thoughts in the comments!

Retro Review - Band Baja Baaraat - The movie revolves around two youngsters and has a strong appeal to the teenage audience.
