The laptop.

You flip open your laptop (you're thinking of getting a mac...all the cool girls seem to dig 'em) and sign on to the Internet. Aware that every single issue seems to have its magical solution on the good old web (your previous jaunts to how-cool-guys-named-james-can-have-a-really-happening-beard.com and www.myspace.com/I-went-to-hajj-and-have-the-injuries-to-prove-it were especially successful), you decide to give it a whirl.

Choice 1:

You feel an intense need to announce to the world your favorite TV shows, music, interests, quotes and toothpaste preference, and log on to Facebook.

Choice 2:

You decide the traditional approach, in its 21st century manifestation, is still best. You go to www.Shaadi.com.
