I was contacted by Julia Timms, a producer of 60 Minutes, asking for participation from the desi expat community in their new show:

60 Minutes is looking to do a story about the world of arranged marriages. It seems in the days of high divorce rates, there's a renewed interest in asking your family to help you find the "one". 60 Minutes is looking for people who are now about to enter an arranged marriage with the help of family and friends. We also want to explore the philosophy of arranged marriages - where a shared sense of cultural heritage and a similar set of goals in life are all important. If you are interested in finding out more about the show please contact producer Julia Timms at jtimms@nine.com.au
