Happy Marriage Bureau

Happy Marriage Bureau is located in the Camp area of Chandigarh, right by the GPO. It’s an easy place to find because the General Post Office is such a well-known landmark around here. Our office is pretty modest. We have a couple of desks, some chairs for visitors, and shelves stacked with folders. It’s usually quiet in the mornings, but by lunchtime, people start trickling in. We spend a lot of our time talking to parents who are worried about their kids' futures. We write down notes on yellow legal pads and try to keep everything organized in our filing cabinets. Chandigarh is a nice place to work, and being in Camp means we see a lot of different people every day. We don't use any high-tech matchmaking software; it’s mostly just us using our memory and the files we’ve collected over the years. Sometimes we have to stay late to finish up some paperwork or wait for a family who is traveling from out of town. The ceiling fan makes a bit of a clicking noise, but we’ve gotten used to it. It’s a very human business, dealing with people's hopes and their family lives. We just sit here, listen to what they need, and see if we have anyone in our books who might be a good fit. It’s steady work, and we’ve been at this address for quite a while now.
