New in Bhava 2.2.0 · Women first

She asks first.

A parchi is the folded slip of paper passed across a room. On Bhava, a verified woman writes one line to the men in her Drop. They write back on it, in their own words. She unfolds the replies one at a time, without photos or names, and keeps only the ones she likes.

On Android now. Coming to iPhone in the 2.2.0 update, in review.

  • Verified women only
  • No photos, no names
  • 24 hours to reply
Parchi in the app: she writes one line, it lands on his phone, he writes back, she unfolds it and keeps it, and the chat opens with the slip pinned
The real app, recorded.

Step by step

How a parchi works

Four moments, from her one line to a chat. It all happens inside one evening's Drop.

  1. She writes one line

    Before she looks at anyone, a verified woman writes one question to the men in tonight's Drop.

    One parchi per Drop

  2. It lands on his phone

    Her question arrives on a folded slip. No photo, no name. He writes back on it in his own words.

    Up to 200 letters

  3. He writes back, 24 hours

    Each man has a day to answer on the slip. Then it closes, and his reply waits for her, folded.

    Closes on its own

  4. She unfolds, blind

    One reply at a time: his words, age, area and your Kundali score. She keeps it or lets it go.

    Keep = a match

Why words first

Words before photos

A parchi is read for what it says. Six rules keep it that way.

  1. Verified women only

    Only a woman whose selfie we have checked can send a parchi. She starts it; he can't.

  2. Blind replies

    She sees his words and three facts, nothing else. His photo and name appear only if she keeps it.

    Age · area · Kundali score

  3. 24 hours, then it closes

    He has a day to write back. After that no more replies come in; she can still read what did.

  4. Keep is a match

    When she keeps a reply, the chat opens straight away, with the parchi pinned at the top.

  5. A let-go is never shown

    If she lets his parchi go, he isn't told. It simply stays folded.

  6. One parchi per Drop

    One line an evening, to that evening's Drop. Nothing to compare, nothing to send in bulk.

His slip: her question with his handwritten answer below it, no photo and no name
His phone: her question, his answer.

For him

A slip to write on, not a form

Her question lands on his phone, folded. No prompts to copy, no lines from a list: just his own words.

  1. His own words, 200 lettersEnough for one honest answer. It stays folded until she opens it.
  2. Your parchisEvery slip he's answered sits in one list, with when it closes.
  3. When she keeps itHe sees her name and your score together, and the chat opens with his parchi pinned.

    Her parchi

    What does a good Sunday look like for you?

    Early cricket with the building gang, then my mother’s rajma, then a book till someone makes me do chores.

Still Bhava underneath

Same Drop, same score, same family

  • 7 pm

    The Drop

    A parchi goes to the men in your evening Drop. No feed, no endless list.

  • of 36

    The Kundali score

    Every reply shows your score out of 36, the same ashtakoota match as every introduction.

  • The parents’ view

    Family you invite still sees matches in their own calmer view. For parents
