9-day groom market where women go to buy bachelors A market where bachelors gather in wait for women to buy and make them their husbands has sparked reactions online. Educational qualifications and family background determine how a man is priced, and women, accompanied by their families, storm the market to browse through the men before deciding which one suits their specifications. The groom market, located in Madhubani district, India’s Bihar state, is called Saurath Mela or Sabhagachhi. Men reportedly gather under pipal trees in the local market for nine days for spinsters to make their selections.

It is reported that engineers, doctors, and government employees are the most sought after, and they impose heavy dowries on the families of any woman who wants to buy them, although p...

™️ When you find true love, may it also come with financial comfort and stability. May you never have a child who would be counted as a number amongst the many hardened criminals burnt alive via jungle justice. Instead of having a son who when announced, apprehended and publicly killed as an armed robber would bring you shame and disgrace, may all your children be daughters. And if it is a daughter that would smear your name in ridicule and drag your heart to smithereens with shame and regret, then may your children be boys. If your own car will cut short your life and have you die untimely, then may you continue to take public buses.

May your child not end your life, if by chance it is predestined that they would kill you by their own hands, then may you remain childless. Stories abound of those who travel...

 If You Have a SIM Card, PLEASE READ!, Very Important  I wanted to get a new SIM to complement the one I already have. Then I decided to patronise a road side sim vendor and the unexpected happened.  During registration, I gave out the needed details to the vendor and the registration was going on smoothly until it got to capturing. Usually, you are expected to be captured once but the vendor captured me twice and that made me suspicious. So I queried him but he gave a flimsy excuse. Immediately after the registration, I got a welcome text message indicating I registered two numbers instead of one and I asked why two numbers registered in my name instead of one, the vendor said "it's normal, that sometimes the issue is from the network operators”.  The next day, I went to Glo office to lay a complain and the moment I mentioned what brought me, the manager there said "these guys again? Why doing these to innocent people"?, that was when I realized the gravity of what ...
