A simple three-sentence method
1. Nature: what you are like
Pick two or three words that people close to you would use, and say where it shows.
“I am a quiet, steady person who is happiest around family and a few close friends.”
2. Life: what you do and enjoy
Mention your work in one phrase and two or three real interests. Specific is better than impressive.
“I work with numbers all day, so on weekends I like to cook, play the tabla and walk in the hills.”
3. Values: what matters to you
End with what you care about in life or in a relationship.
“I value honesty, patience and laughing together.”
More examples you can adapt
- For a girl working in teaching: “I am cheerful and organised, and I love my work as a primary school teacher. Outside school I sing, garden and spend Sundays with my grandparents. I believe a home runs on respect and good humour.”
- For a boy in a family business: “I am practical and easy-going, and I run our family’s hardware business with my father. I play cricket on Sunday mornings and enjoy road trips with friends. Family comes first for me.”
- For someone working abroad: “I am a curious, calm person working as a nurse in Melbourne. I cook Gujarati food for my flatmates and call home every evening. I hope to build a life that keeps us close to both families.”
Words to use and words to skip
| Instead of | Try |
|---|---|
| “Fun-loving, caring, understanding, smart” | Two words, with one example of each |
| “Fair, slim and beautiful” | Leave looks to the photo |
| “Well-settled with a good package” | Job and city in the career section |
| “Looking for a homely girl” | Write what you value in a partner, kindly, in partner expectations |
| “God-fearing”, copied from another biodata | “We visit our kuldevta every Navratri”, if it is true |
In Hindi or Marathi
The same method works in any language. In Hindi the section is मेरे बारे में; in Marathi, माझ्याबद्दल. Use everyday words, such as सरल स्वभाव, परिवार से जुड़ा हुआ, मनमिळाऊ or कुटुंबप्रिय, rather than formal ones nobody says aloud.
