Try Tindering in any big Indian city:)

Demands are rather specific:

- ICS grade 3, seeking ICS, or a practicing lawyer

- MBA Columbia blah blah blah, glads outside top 100 need not apply

- Or even simpler: "seeking computer engineer, programmer, Java consultant for marriage"

The last almost fell me out of the chair.

Yes, I also find it infuriating that Indians are using Tinder to seek out conscientious partners.

This is definitely worse than the American use-case of Tinder, which focuses on factors of critical importance, such as a great ass and kinky proclivities.

The rough analog to caste in America is race, and you'd better believe that it influences Tinder matches. So, yeah, it's pretty bad here too.

I think that the garbage collector in Java is quiet famous.
