Tedhe Samachaar ki Seedhi Baat:

1. A Pune man went viral for using an Excel sheet to track prospective arranged marriage matches.

2. His organized columns, scores, and comparisons had the internet both impressed and amused.

3. Social media calls it data-driven matchmaking — a spreadsheet rather than swiping right.

ARRANGED MARRIAGE — a classic institution in many Indian families. Traditionally, there would be introductions, chai pe baatein, comparing horoscopes, and maybe a thoughtful “koi jaldi nahi hai, samay lekar bata dijiyega.”

When Love Meets Spreadsheet

But one man from Pune turned the whole process into something that looks like corporate performance tracking — using Excel Spreadsheets..

Yes, not a notebook, not a diary, not sticky notes on the fridge — but an actual spreadsheet with rows, columns, categories, and formulas that scream “Data Analytics meets shaadi season.”

Columns, Scores, and Conditional Formatting

In the viral clip, the man shows off what looks like a very serious Excel workbook. There are categories like Education, Family Background, Location Score, Compatibility, and even a Total Score column — as if he’s running a QBR on potential life partners.

Netizens were equal parts impressed and amused. Comments ranged from:

• “He’s optimizing his love life like it’s a Fortune 500 project.”

• “Conditional formatting for compatibility — that’s next level.”

• “Where’s the pivot table for in-laws?”

Imagine explaining that at a family gathering:
“Uncleji, this is Sheet-2: Potentials vs Priorities.”

At some point, someone’s going to ask, “Can we sort by Sense of Humour in descending order?”

Internet Ka Verdict: Data Rather Than Date?
 

The reactions were hilarious. Some said this is the most honest attempt at digital matchmaking yet. Others joked that this man could soon monetize his workbook and sell it as a relationship management tool.

One comment perfectly summarized the sentiment:
“Forget swiping apps. This is arranged marriage 2.0 — Excel edition.”

Because let’s be honest: When life gets complicated, Indians don’t start a hobby — we build a spreadsheet.

From Charts to Chai Conversations
 

What makes this story so fun is the sheer contrast between something as emotional as marriage and something as methodical as Excel.

Feelings?
Enter Column A.
Family background?
Column B.
Compatibility score out of 10?
Formula =SUM(…) for love.

And somewhere, everyone watching this video probably thought, “Haan bhai, at least he’s honest about his priorities.”

Arranged marriages have always been about matching expectations with reality. But now — thanks to Excel — we have clear data, bold headers, and maybe even a graph showing how plot twists affect marriage talks.

Spreadsheet Se Shaadi Tak — Na Ho Paaye Toh?

If this goes any further, we might see Excel-powered matrimonial services, with filter buttons like:

• Sort by Humor > 8

• Filter by Location = Same City

• Exclude if Column C says ‘Doesn’t like biryani’

At this point, we won’t just be asking, “Biodata ya CV?” We’ll ask, “Did you update your sheet today?”

And honestly, isn’t that something we can all chuckle about?
