...and real

-
Views, views and views! I seem to have too many of them. My friends say I am very aggressive about them too, kind of not open to variations...and, later ofcourse, sheepishly accept that I am right. So this blog, to satiate my hunger for expression ;). Well ofcourse I am open to criticism, especially here, as it excludes any verbal contradictions. (lol).
I am looking forward to a whole load of serious talk, brainstorming sessions (for myself and for you), sobriety and ofcourse fun.
So do write in, and like I always say, I don't necessarily mean all I say, so dont take me seriously...(don't take this seriously either)

Women — a party to their subjection

We wish happiness for the bride, so we teach her to ignore certain aberrations. In fact we teach her to look at the said aberrations as customs, as something that is the done-thing. So please girl, don't complain and if you have a daughter, god forbid, teach her what we have taught you. God Bless! Snippets of a conversation I overheard... Reality Cast : Three Marwari girls...with very joyful expressions on their faces Topic of discussion : The picture of one of them, who is married, draped in a saree at a bridal workshop on the backpage of a city Daily. Quite a beautiful picture, I must add. Girl 1. (married) You know kya hua? Dadaji saw this pic. Kuch khas khush nahin they . Itna skin dikh raha hai na isliye. Girl 2. Kahan yar? Mujhey to normal hi laga tha. Girl 3. (Nods in the affirmative) Girl 1. (pointing at the little midriff showing courtesy the slighly bold cut of the blouse) This. Dekha? All three laughed in unison. (Smile) The laugh was very heartwarming. They...

Soap sob stories!

....a sobbing Prerna Now, now this is not a regular saas-bahu lambast session. I am like the incurable romantic, who chastises and also enjoys. But some things are so completely hilarious that even for the sake of giving the plot a twist, these things appear a tad too stretched. One such thing, that just doesn’t get into my thick skull, is why did Prerna, of the Kasauti fame (please excuse the K’s, I have no idea how many I should put), have to sleep with Anurag to save Sneha? Aw! C’mon, don’t give me that “because Sneha needed a sibling” excuse. Wonder if Ekta Kapoor has heard anything about In Vitro Fertilization. Poor Ekta, she could have got in another angle…surrogacy? Imagine, Prerna’s eggs + Anurag’s sperms + X’s womb! Whoa that would be a cracker? But then No! Ekta loves to make surrogate mums sleep with the genetic dad…she did it in Kusum. Why doesn’t this woman try artificial insemination? See what did technique has done for Anu in Ek Ladki Anjani Si? Now, that girl is in a re...

wife not equal to husband?

-
I have noticed it time and again. Every form in this country requires the applicant to fill in certain identification details... here is how one of the options goes — Name of father/mother/husband______________ (??) Can someone tell me the logic behind this? To me, as a woman, this is highly insulting. It is nothing short of being very offensive. The third option could easily be spouse , but NO! The woman afterall has no identity of her own. Parents, I agree, are our identity givers, but in the context of a married individual, how can a husband give his wife an identity when the contrary is not applicable? The sex-based segregation goes much deeper than we can imagine. These little things, that we very easily overlook, is what serves the purpose of deepening the rift. A definite change needs to be worked out, but how....and when? Or in the Indian context, is the wife not equal to the husband?
