For some men, the prospect of placing a raw protein or vegetable in a pan over an open flame for some time has been so daunting that it literally makes them scratch their heads and sweat. For them, cereal and frozen dinners are enough and exactly what they deserve - they know their local food delivery workers by name, and they use their stove for shoe storage.
If you identify as a “bad cook,” as well, then this story may sound uncannily familiar to you.
The Twitter bio of Too-cool-to-be-in-the-kitchen, Mr Varunram Ganesh is indeed impressive. Previously, he did research at MIT, then managed money for an HF, and went to Duke in between. Currently building an investment bank, he is so well-educated that he strongly believes that women should hold the kitchen sacrosanct. So, he was devastated when the woman he met during his “rishta” could not serve him the dosa as he had expected.

His broken heart tweeted out, “You are 28 and you are Indian. Your parents set you up with this girl, and you go with your family to visit her. You are a bit hungry and the girl's family says "she cooks very well" so you think "I'll eat one dosa, why not". She goes in and brings this back. What do you do?”

Twitterati came forward to offer him their food for thought, a piece of their mind. “Take the hint,” said one user, pointing out that the woman is definitely neither interested in marriage, nor in him. So, she must have had her fun pranking him to spare herself the ordeal of spending the rest of her life with someone who is too perfect to be in the kitchen.
He was one of those for whom cooking takes like six hours, eating takes like three seconds and washing dishes takes like an eternity. “How come you have a pic of her making it and not the final product on the plate? You went inside the kitchen when she was making it?" Wrote another suspicious user. Someone else tried to show him some sympathy. He said, “ Leave, you almost got the answer. Do you want a cook? Get one if you are looking for one. Marriage can happen later. Not a major concern. If you like her, that matters. Dosa is the last thing that should bother you. Cook for her!! Twitter definitely not for marriage advice.” Basically, he politely told him that turning on the gas oven is more important than “turning on” the woman and making her agree to marry him.
To conclude, she was not interested in marrying him and was probably being influenced by her sixth sense not to even bother having a meeting with him. “You can find much better cooks if you look for them. Don't mix that with marriage,” read another comment.
