Question

what kind of bride was ranga looking for and why

Answer 1

Ranga believed he needed to find the right girl to get married. He believed if he would ever marry a girl, she would be mature, not a very young girl. Besides, he wanted to marry a girl whom he admired. He was not in favour of arranged marriage.

He had such views because he had lived in Bangalore, which was quite advanced and modern as compared to his village, Hosahalli. Besides, he also knew an officer who had some adjustment problem with his wife who was five years younger to him.

So, Ranga was very cautious in choosing his would-be wife.
