Find a girl who likes biryani!!

(Because I was fed up of the exhortations to date girls who read, write, travel, does handstands while riding a horse, etc.)

Date a girl who likes Biryani. Date a girl who doesn't need to look at the menu to know what she wants. She says no to dessert every day because she has no space for it after thulping a full Biryani. 

Find a girl who likes Biryani. You'll know she does because she sniffs the air in anticipation when the waiter is bringing her order. She's the one who has chicken bones stacked neatly on the side of her plate and empty bowl of raita beside her in restaurants (Unless she's not finished, in which case she's the one who's eating Biryani.) You see the weird chick who's peering into your plate when you're gorging on Biryani like there's no tomorrow? That's the Biryani lover.

She's the girl you run into at different Biryani Box outlets. If you take a peep into her plate, she will not have touched the gravy which comes with the Biryani. That's the mark of a true Biryani lover - the Biryani is to be had unsullied except for the gentle dulling of the spices by the raita. Sit down. She might give you a glare as the girls who eat Biryani do not like to be interrupted. Ask her if she liked her Biryani. Ask her if she thought the rice could have imbibed the masala better.

Buy her another plate of Biryani.

It's easy to date a girl who likes Biryani. She understands there are highs and lows in a relationship and it might not always be rosy. Just like how the masala is not even throughout and the flavor might vary from part to part. Get her unexpected gifts which surprise her like the odd raisin and cashew in a Biryani. Sprinkle attention on her like the golden deep-fried onions sitting pretty on top of the Biryani. She'll enjoy the attention but understand that it is really not integral to the Biryani relationship.

Make her Biryani for her birthday. Call up your mom in advance and ask how many minutes to let it simmer on the stove.

On the day she timidly extends a casserole to you, with a blush in her cheeks, you'll know that you have successfully captured her heart. Eat the whole of what she has given you, even if it tastes like horsecrap. Do not tell her how badly it sucks, instead tell her how it is the best biryani you have ever had. Ensure she doesn't have even a morsel to taste. Because then she will learn the truth. She's the girl who likes Biryani.

You will propose in Paradise in Hyderabad or at home over a bowl of steaming goodness of rice and meat and spices. In a perfect blend. Like you and the girl who likes Biryani. Imagine her doe-eyed smile of wonder when she unearths the ring from under the juicy leg piece of chicken.

You will have a grand wedding. Where you'll serve all the guests with the Biryani of their choice. After everyone is gone, you'll be left alone with the girl who likes Biryani. You'll smile happily and extend a plate of Chicken Biryani to her. And vow to share Biryani with her forever, in sickness and in health. 

Grow old with the girl who likes Biryani. As old as having Biryani three times a day will allow you to. Have kids and watch her teach them to scoop Biryani onto their plate without spilling using the spoon-fork double hold. Stay in on cold winter days and order in jumbo packs of Biryani. Cuddle around the heat of Biryani. In spring, take her on walks to shed those extra pounds.

Date a girl who likes Biryani because you deserve it. You deserve a girl who can give you the tastiest life imaginable. If you can only give her the monotony of Roti-daal, aaloo paratha then you are better off alone. If you want a deeply fulfilling life with the right mixture of joy and spices, date a girl who likes Biryani!
