After just 48 hours, the rebellious marriage CV of Indhuja Pillai (pictured above) from Bangalore went viral, with people from as far away as Australia and Canada picking it up.
Here's the story. It is an Indian tradition for parents to find husbands for their daughters. Well, 23-year-old Indhuja Pillai parents posted a profile of her on a dating site in order to help find her a husband.
But she took down the profile by her parents and uploaded a brutally honest 'Marriage CV' to the internet because she couldn't believe her eyes when she saw the account.
Indhuja works at the internet company Tripigator built her own description, with a no-holds-barred description of her likes, dislikes and general demeanor and posted it on a blogging site.
Speaking on about the profile her parents created, Indhuja said: "[The] details were, name: Indhuja, profession: Software Engineer. I went like, "WTF is happening here, because, I am no g***amn software engineer and I'm only 23! I am [not a] woman desperate to get married, and that matrimony profile made me look like one."Indhuja told her parents that she was going to build her own dating profile, telling them to, 'Send this to anyone who has the nerve to ask my hand in marriage.'

"I wear glasses and look dorky in them. Not a spendthrift or a shopaholic. Detest masala & drama, not a TV fan. I don't read. NOT a womanly woman. Definitely not marriage material. Won't grow long hair, ever."
"Looking for: A man, preferably bearded, who is passionate about seeing the world. Someone who earns for himself and does NOT hate his job. Extra points to the one who hates kids. Points for a great voice and an impressive personality. Should be able to hold a conversation for at least 30 minutes."
"If you think you qualify, I recommend you re-think. If you are sure, I suggest you show this website to your parents. If you're still sure, try imagining a life with someone like me." She added.
Indhuja has become famous and is now being hailed as the face of modern India - a woman who's bold and not afraid to challenge traditional perceptions of femininity and womanhood.
