Indian Matchmaking - playing with love

Indian Matchmaking appeared as a suggestion on my Netflix account. I initially ignored it, but eventually, I decided to check it out. It is a weird show, I felt like they were going on sales to find a spouse, but I had some fun.

I watched the two seasons, and I must say that the first clients were more fun. But, unfortunately, the second season was boring.

Indian culture

For someone like me, who knows very little of the Indian culture, this show gives us some perspective on what it is like. And you end up hoping for them to find a good match.

However, especially in the second season, things get a bit… wild—horoscopes, curses… way out of line for someone like me. Besides, I'm afraid I have to disagree with Sima on many things…

The bachelors are not so good, only because they have money or dated a lot (what?). That last one says something very different, aunty!

Since it is a show, and we all know that people act in reality shows, I have one question: is it realistic? I'm not sure. I read a review from an Indian girl who said it is realistic, which is sad.

And let's not forget the married couples they throw in there for no reason other than to attest that they are very happy and arranged marriages work. For their sake, I truly hope so.

Sima’s clients

Sima is a traditional woman with traditional values. She seems to find matches primarily for (at least in the show) people who live in the States. People who grow up in the West Culture. What could go wrong?

I must say that most of them are pretty annoying, though. They complain a lot, and Sima is very patient…

The one who had the most impact on me was Aparna. She can be annoying and self-centered, but she has unshakable self-esteem! So go for it, girl!

Not about love, but growth

The matches are not always perfect; Sima doesn't provide miracles, only guidance. It shows that it is not about meeting the right person but about growth and self-knowledge. Sima helps them through the process.

It is not a show for everyone, but it is interesting enough.

Review: Billie Eilish: Unfiltered – A Shallow, Soulless Recap Pretending to Be a Documentary

Rating: ★☆☆☆☆ (1/5) If you're expecting Billie Eilish: Unfiltered to offer an intimate look into the life, artistry, or creative process of one of Gen Z’s most influential pop icons, prepare to be disappointed. This so-called documentary barely scratches the surface, delivering little more than a dry, lifeless rundown of Billie Eilish 's discography, awards, and chart performances. At best, it's a glorified Wikipedia entry with background music. At worst, it’s a wasted hour of potential. Unfiltered? The documentary lacks narrative depth, personal insight, or any meaningful exploration of who Billie Eilish is beyond her resume. Rather than providing behind-the-scenes footage, raw interviews, or critical commentary, Unfiltered relies on a monotonous narrator reeling off her achievements like items on a grocery list. There are occasional quotes from Billie herself, but they’re so brief and context-free they feel like filler material. For a documentary claiming to be “u...

Raising Voices - Why Alma's Mom Had the Right Reaction

In Netflix’s Raising Voices , there's a raw, emotionally charged moment when Alma confesses to her mom that something happened the night she disappeared — she was drunk, she had sex, and something didn’t feel right. It’s the kind of moment that many parents dread. But Alma’s mom handled it in a way that deserves attention. She didn’t panic. She didn’t judge. She didn’t lose control. Instead, she met her daughter halfway, which made all the difference. What Happened in the Scene? When Alma opened up to her mom, she wasn’t just confessing — she was testing the waters for safety. Could she trust her mom with the truth? Would she still be loved after saying something shameful, scary, or confusing? Her mom’s response wasn’t perfect — but it was real. She was concerned, but didn’t explode. She asked questions. She listened. She let the moment breathe. Why That Reaction Matters Technically, what Alma described can be considered sexual assault , given her level of intoxication. Bu...
