Every Indian girl who’s been pressured to find herself someone to get married to as soon as she turns 23, found her hero in Indhuja Pillai. Pillai made waves all over the interwebs a year ago.

For her revolutionary approach to the impossible task that is arranging a marriage and still not settling one bit.

Indhuja created her own matrimonial website in response to the many worries and demands of her family and the ever-so-brown-nosing “society”. A website that went viral for its refreshing originality.

A matrimonial page which served magnificently to weed out those that wouldn’t love her for who she is, and was abundantly clear on specifically what kind of a man she wanted to be with.

Marry Indhuja

Since then, the last year for Pillai has been one of utter bliss in singlehood and her Instagram posts are here to show us just how much fun she’s been having.

Oh how I love this picture!

Getting to know herself

A #random pic, at the Aga Khan Palace. Pure peace staring at the sky, through the leaves of the tree. #casualclick

And treating herself *drool*

Feeling like a child again

Felt like a kid during parasailing, lack of risks, you see.

And the seaside is an especially perfect place to do just that

The “amatuer” photographer finds beauty where it lies

And where not everybody may see it

That mesmerizing beauty! #biketrip #birdlife #owl #yellow #blackandwhite #instagood #instalike #tree

Inking herself with life

I’m the lock. I’m the key. Guess who got their first tattoo today? #blackandwhite #lockandkey #tattooed

In her kaleidoscopic journey of being and loving herself

And following her heart

Going with the wind.

Her tryst with arranged marriage is just another in her long list of adventures

And she’s easily the quintessential, and utterly amazing modern Indian woman

They called me a butterfly. #instapic #diwali #saree
