AL & SAH
They say marriages are made in heaven and I couldn't agree more. But how do you meet your soulmate? Life is not a Karan Johar movie (much to my dismay) that you will accidentally bump into the love of your life and sparks will fly off immediately. Life is life, complicated and uncertain. Despite attending the same University, my husband and I, we never met. I didn't notice him when he was up on stage singing away at an Uni event. He didn't notice me while I sat laughing with my friends in the canteen. Two years, same place but we never bumped into each other in the corridor with books flying in the air as time slowed down and violins played. But does that mean our love story is any less than the cliched romances they show on TV? Absolutely not and we can't thank Shara Apu enough for this.
In a country where love-marriages are frowned upon and "ghotoks" are your stereotypical Desi Aunties, Shara Apu is a breath of fresh air (read: a sigh of relief). Shara Apu's digital platform, Bolo Kobul is just the perfect solution as it will be able to help a larger group of singles looking for marriage.
