That is Tamilnadu. I am surprised. Kerala is the most literate state in India, with 56% hindus, 19% christians. Muslims make some 25% of the population. We do not have this kind of segregation even in North India (we do have a few seats reserved for women). I did not expect it in Kerala.

You just hope to meet a 6 armed chick who can simultaneously cook, do the laundry, and give you hand job.
At least that's what I'd hope for out of converting.

At 20 odd I was far less ambitious:I simply wanted a gorgeous,sexy and uninhibited girl whose father owned a pub. Found her too. She was also as thick as a brick.  |

I envy the Moon God who married the 27 daughters of Daksha Prajapati (One time Adam).
"Daksha found that Soma overly favored one daughter (Rohini) over the others, thus neglecting their needs and flouting his responsibilities. For this, Daksha cursed him to wither and die. The daughters intervened and made his death periodic, symbolized by the waxing and waning of the moon." (Wikipedia - Daksha)
"He is the father of Budha, (planet Mercury) the mother being Tara (Taraka). He is also married to Rohini, Anuradha and Bharani, who are the 27 Nakshatras (constellations) and daughters of Daksha." (Wikipedia - Chandra)
