Shilpi - if not engineers; who else is going to create new & interesting stuff? Just go ahead with your ideas. At least, your project will be different from regular, run of the mill projects like backup utility & reservation system.

Do share your progress with us.

You know, you can try creating the algorithms to make the perfect "match", or at least some suggestions

I wonder, can love ever be expressed as mathematical equations? hmm..

Yes ash. You know E = mc² is all about love. Energy <-> Mass . Its too complicated, you won't understand

Yeah, I vote for "recommended match" feature

Matrimonial database is a good option!!!why dont ya put some interesting options like....employer,location preference,family references and secret information accessible only when paid!!!

[shilpi_goel]

Thanx a lot for your valuable suggestions.........!!!!
i would definitely try to implement them in my project....though i am not sure about whether i would be able to make "perfect matches"!!!
thanx guys...!!!!

Marraiges are made in heaven,even age-old methoads cant ensure perfect match,wat u can do is find the desire match,rest upto those couple to make it succesfull....make a good matri-monial site!!!i wud definately find my mathc in your database!!!

hi shilpi
ur idea of project is new & cool coz generaly we are expected to make some sort of management systems aka liberary,bank (i am fed up with that).

as an engineer (which mean the fabricator, God is also an engineer) you may be asked to make anything so one engineer should be prepared for any situation.
