Do you know that I discovered a very interesting fact today? That a total of close to 4 lac Indian men and boys are searching (just on Google) for ways of, what is known (in India) as “proposing a girl”.* Now that’s quite some number.

So are you in love? Are you planning to propose to the girl of your dreams? For your benefit, in this post I’ve decided to share…
